Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
Hilda Baci, a well-known figure in Nigeria, has come under fire from Gospel musician, Patience Nyarko for remarks she made on the distinctions between Ghana and Nigeria.
She claims that because Ghanaians’ cuisine is so much richer than that of other African nations, Nigeria can never compare to Ghana in terms of culinary excellence.
She emphasized that because of the way Ghanaians make it, their Jollof has no rival in Africa or beyond and is far richer and more flavorful than Nigerian Jollof.
Speaking on UTV’s United Showbiz, Nyarko chastised Hilda Baci for saying that Ghanaian Jollof is less flavorful than Nigerian Jollof and cautioned her against saying such things in public.
“In the whole of Africa, Ghanaian foods are the best. Some of us have travelled to other countries, and the food that is served, if you are not careful you might vomit even the way they prepare the food. What is Hilda saying, that Nigeria’s jollof is better than ours? Their own is full of oil while ours is dry and rich.
“They call soup stew you can’t even differentiate. She shouldn’t bring herself; we like her for her achievement, I mean a woman who is able to challenge herself,” she said.
“But when it comes to Ghana food she should stay there. I went to Nigeria and I gave a pastor some Waakye to eat and it seemed like he had not eaten before because she does not know what it is,” Patience Nyarko added.
Her reaction comes after Hilda Baci commented on the difference between Ghanaian and Nigerian jollof in terms of flavour.
According to the former Guinness World Record Holder, Ghanaian jollof, unlike Nigerian jollof, is mild in flavour.
“I have been to Ghana and I have eaten the jollof; I have done a competition with a Ghanaian chef… that was his best representation of Ghanaian jollof, and I have seen the recipe, not one, you guys have quite a number; the tolo beef one. It is pretty much jollof but it is made with beef.
“But let me tell you, because I wasn’t there and I don’t have a lot of information; I cannot say why this is but with Nigerian jollof, Nigerians don’t play with flavour building,” she shared the thought during a podcast interview.
