The real winner of this shoot was me because I got to eat jollof rice for days after! What video should we do next?
Please can you guys do SADC food? I feel like the South doesn't get enough love
South Africa 🇿🇦 Bunny Chow, Pap and wors/stew
😂😂😂
fried rice, samosa, puff puff, roast meat, mac n cheese!

Let’s get into the level of beauty in this video! 😍
Right oh my gosh! On the plates too haha! But yes gorgeous people! I'm a white Scottish lass. N my Nigerian friend at work was begged by me to bring in some jollif rice for me...omg life changing...it was incredible...the flavours yummmmmmm
Agreed, Nigeria being the most beautiful of the lot 😍
Love that uuu said that 😌
Not really into black women but no1 can deny black culture is the best and the women have a natural beauty
I agree! Especially the lady with the brown shirt on. *#BeautifulBlackWomen**!* ✊🏾
I'm impressed that he was able to identify the countries by taste alone.
in it same here, very impressed!
Also check what kind of rice they use.
Quite impressive!!
Same
He’s a chef who makes different jollof types based on country on tiktok. It’s an unfair competition really. His own jollof is inspired by different African flavors.
The Nigerian guy is actually a chef and was featured on ‘Next level chef’.
Big up him for winning 🇳🇬👌🏾
A whole spoiler. Wow. Please put a spoil alert for other people so you don't ruin the episode.
@@bludiva27 dont look at the comments before a video then u donut
There is always at least 1 comment always populated when you click the video. Can't help but see it.
@@bludiva27 I've seen at least 10 with more likes, you scrolled.
@@promzkingzThere's absolutely no need to be rude
Temi is either a chef or a foodie cos how was he able to attribute the taste to the country?! 😂
I'm glad he didn't disappoint 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬
Temi is actually a chef..so no surprises there ☺️
@@safiya1363
Next level chef huh? I just saw your comment. I'll probably check it out Nwunye Temi🤗
Fr
@@safiya1363do you know his socials?
He was featured on a cooking show
"I ain't gonna spit it out. I ain't gonna disrespect my fellow Africans". THIS! It's literally how my African friends are and I love them for that. You have my respect sir 🙏🏾 ❤
Being Pan African is embedded in the mindset of an Average Nigerian. Nigerians only started coming for other Africans when they come for them plus the jealousy and the hate from others became unbearable
What are you saying exactly
❤❤
Literally what I was thinking 👏
Low-key shade is still shade.
And he won without meat on the plate...that's Nigerian audacity right there 💅🏾
Like!!!!
Bobo disguised the jollof yet it couldn’t be hidden. Loveeeeet!
100% Nigerian audacity!! we no dey gree
ee@@Vitaminrae
🇳🇬 Nigeria’s J rice didn’t need no features or supporting acts and it still came out on top. Naija no dey carry last ❤️. Shout out to the other counties too x
But it is mad oily though. Lol
@@BaldwinFanonGarveyTureShakurXwe love it that way
Everybody know that your food is thrash
@@kennyKelvins I'm Cameroonian but Nigeria's food is scrumdilyumyum. U hating frfr
@@kennyKelvins*trash
There’s a saying here in Ghana 🇬🇭
Anyone who eats Jollof with stew, has TRUST ISSUES 😂
If you trust your jollof is very good you don’t need stew to eat with it, Jollof goes by it self, all you just need is a push with any soda or juice 😋
We say the same thing here in Naija 😂
I was thinking this! If your jollof is good you don’t need stew 😂🤭
😂😂Nigerians say this too. Hilarious, but true.
@@DumebiLea Yes na 🤣
@@KaeMaiden those eating Jollof with stew have trust issues
The fact that the Nigerian guy won with is bareback plate of jollof, no sides 👏The audacity, tbh I make soo many different versions of jollof rice there are national and rejoinal differences, lets all just enjoy our jollof! lovely video.
“bareback plate of jollof” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂 it's truly the audacity.😂
Nana! You are too right! Great to see you girl!!
Esther
He's a chef
@@eajax6316 You too girl!😘😘😘
Beyond the fact that they were so respectful of each other's plate, what a great group of beautiful people!! Melanin was poppin' today🤌🏾😍
Yasss
The level of respect was very agreeable. Even when they were unhappy with the dish they were polite. Class. Great participants.
To see someone from my countryyyy!!!! Yes to my Guinea-bissau sister🇬🇼🇬🇼🇬🇼🇬🇼🇬🇼 Don't get to see enough of us on these type of platforms so I'm here for it❤️
Yes, me too. I was really surprised to see this. And the sister is gorgeous 😍 ❤
She represented us perfectly, she’s beautiful. Bissau women are beautiful anyways
The beauty!
Thissssss
When i tell you i GASPED when i saw barley see enough of our 🇬🇼 family online
Nigerian jollof, no sides, no extras. Just rice. Yeah it won 😂
As a jamaican I entirely agree. But I'm still gonna try every other African country before I go there😂
😂😂yeah ! ❤
Me too 😊 I need to participate in the debate properly 😂
But why? Are you scared??
Less is more😅
the nigerian won because he was a chef , they took the best from Nigeria and normal from the other countries i think dats not fair
I'm glad my Country sierra Leone🇸🇱🇸🇱 is part of this ..❤❤😊
Am also happy , but that is not sierra leone jollof rice 🇸🇱🇸🇱🇸🇱🇸🇱🇸🇱
@@assanatubarrie6662How do you know did you taste it?
The vote don’t lie. Me as a Nigerians, I can’t get enough of our jollof rice. That’s why I keep adding weight 😂. I feel Ghana jollof is the same as Nigerian jollof difference is one is spicy that the other isn’t. So both Nigeria and Ghana jollof is the best
Taaaaa wash your mouth with soup GHANA Jollof and Nigeria jollof can never be the same 😂😂😂😂😂 🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭❤️❤️
The dude guessed every other contestant's nation correctly, now thats a accurate palate!
Yeeeeey!!!! I am Nigerian. I like the way everyone was gracious and kind with their comments. AFRICA to the world.
To the moon and back !
I made Nigerian jollof to my church in Scotland.
I was a bit sceptical cos I added spice like only Nigerian would like, and I thought people wouldn’t like to eat it.
Guess what the plate was empty
You did the right thing. Food is culture, and we don't bend culture to suit any audience. It's always presented exactly as it is in the native land. Good job.
@@isoryte201Just wanted to retweet exactly what you said.
I would have sworn the first one was Nigerian Jollof because that's exactly how we plate our Jollof Rice. Surprised that the plain one won to be honest. The taste must have been very nice.
Yayyy it's aunty Flo! Was really surprised as well. But as we say in Naija; we no dey carry last!
@storieswithauntyogeswaog1430 actually this slogan goes to warri people 😂
@@amos_eternal yeah but Naija adopted the slogan. We Sabi beta tin
Me too! I expected more garnishing from the Naija jollof, but he still won, goes to show that it must have been very tasty!!!
Loved it! Everyone gave great effort.. Nigeria 🇳🇬 stand up
🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬
Big up 🔝
the nigerian won because he was a chef , they took the best from Nigeria and normal from the other countries i think dats no fair
@@nathanielduut2995 lol we not normal in Nigeria. All of us are chef. So it’s fair 😂😂😂😂😂
@@nathanielduut2995keep crying
Yess thank you for representing Nigeria well 🇳🇬 ❤
Yes my sister😊
❤❤
Word!🇳🇬
Even without sides, 🇳🇬 won!!🎉 BTW, the level of beauty screaming out of this video is out of this world. Skin be skinning 😍
No African should be shocked that the Nigerian won. Nigerian Jollof Rice is and will always remain unmatched
🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬
🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🇳🇬
Oh please
Bc Senegal wasnt here 😂😂😂
I'm not sure about that from what I just watched they all clearly liked temi's jollof however they all really liked Ruth's jollof to but instead of temi and sia being honest they underscored ruth
This was a good video; everyone was very respectful. As a Nigerian I think the reason the Senegalese and Siera Leonian Jollof did poorly is because we Nigerians want our food and especially jollof to hit hard when it comes to flavor, we love big bold flavors, so the more reserved style of Senegalese and Sierra Leonian jollof are fundamentally incompatible with our palates assuming that the Sierra Leonian and Senegalese women made jollof that was representative of the jollof of those countries. respect to everyone who participated though.
Hiii, as a Senegalese When it comes to flavour we like our savory and spicy. I just think we didn’t have the right representative.
@@mdiallo9705 that’s what I was thinking, darn lol I’m Nigerian but I wanted to see a bomb recipe from Sierra Leone 😭
@@mdiallo9705tbf this was guinea representation instead of senegal
But Senegal wasn't even represented here, in this episode!
As a Sierra Leonean, your point is actually pretty accurate. Nigerian jollof has that really strong smoke flavour to it and it can even be seen as the main part of the dish. Whereas I feel in a lot of Sierra Leonean cuisine our food focuses on plasas/stew and rice. Overall all tho all taste nice just diff pallets
I had amazing jollof in Senegal. One of my favourite West African countries!
Nothing more irritating that white people talking about vacationing in other people's cultures. This added nothing to the conversation you just want people to know you catch planes 😂
originals 💕
A solid 10 ! 🔥🔥
I hear the original Senegalese Jollof is to die for.
@@lorettakrah9304it’s the BEST
As a Senegalese it’s always so funny to me that we are never invited/ featured when the UNESCO recognized the dish as Senegalese.
Ibr I've had Senegalese jollof and while it is nice it barely tastes like the same dish as Ghanaian/Naija jollof. The technique may be similar but the spices and flavour are completely different
Its because they would lose - Nothing beats the original. The spices set it in a league of its own
literally
Yes crazy ! The way Senegalese prepare it, can't be equalled let alone bettered. They are the owners and masters of Jollof rice. Only Nigerians think they do it b4etter but if you ask someone from another country they will always say Senegal.
@@aminarassoul respect to the Senagalese tho, but Nigeria and Ghana made it popular to the world, and the feud between the two countries about whose is better even made it more popular, that doesn't mean Senegalese jollof isn't rated, it's not just popular. I'd like to try it one day tho.
0:31 the warmth of the people from Guinea-Bissau shone through in Melisa…so gracious to acknowledge the originators of the dish too ie Senegal.
Ngl, can’t eat jollof without that extra spice 🤌🏼
Nigeria always killing it 💅🏼
Imagine winning without meat LMAOOO
Y’all need to rate us more
exactly. i looked at it and i said oh nah thats the good jollof when its kinda brownish
Lmbooooo! Facts!!! 💯
Nigerians always represent 😂😂
@@dreadlocdfairy istg 🤣🤣🤣
All them orange jollof just won’t be as good as that party dark orange jollof.
The way I would’ve eaten this guys rice l, they’re lucky they didn’t invite me🤣🤣🤣
The thing weak me, even ordinary kpomo the guy no put. 😂
This was excellent!!!!! The right person won. But, what I loved most is that All Four of Them were constructive in their criticisms, really good in their praise of the dishes, and no one was trying to be a jerk cutting down the others to lift themselves up. This was an absolute JOY to watch!!!!! 🤗
Respect ❤
Well said
I'm Jamaican but I absolutely LOVE jollof rice (I had Nigerian), despite only having it once. It's funny, I was talking to my Nigerian friend and she prefers rice and peas but I prefer Jollof for a rice dish. Shout out to my West African brothers and sisters and I can't wait to try it from other countries!
❤❤❤
My kids are born and raised in the US .. I am Nigerian 🇳🇬 and jollof rice can’t be finished in my household! My 8yr old will have a fit!😂.. Jollof rice and fried fish is her daily dose 😂
I love how respectful everyone was abt the food😊
Naija for the win ! ❤
Melissa!!!! Sis is beautiful 😻
I smiled so much watching this… This is what ‘Healthy Competition’ means📌
I can’t help but brag about the Nigerian Jollof… it was served bare, yet it stood out👏👏👏
Ghanaians always butting heads with Nigerians over jollof even here, Ruth was just behind the Nigerian. Proud of you Ruth. You made my day representing us😊
Awww thank you so much, glad to have represented us well and do you proud x Ruth
I know we are supposed to be focused on the jollof rice and trash talk, but every person in this video is gorgeous and that just needs to be said. I’ve never had jollof rice, I need one of these recipes lol
You should check out Sisi Yemmie's page for bomb jollof rice recipes. (Nigerian jollof, precisely).
“This chicken has been boiled, fried, grilled, air fried, microwaved” 😂😂😂😂 took me out
same 😂
I knew nigerian jollof would win but the chocolate skin is everything.❤❤❤
They are all chocolate.
Sia failed us 🇸🇱😩 but that Nigerian 🇳🇬 Jollof rice looked good 😍
Lajilah, maybe i shouldn't even watch. 😩🙈😂
@@Afrinaturality 🤣🤣🤣 save yourself the trouble.
Justice for salone! Our jollof is delicious!
@@nonfictions facts!
Smh 🤦🏾♀️ she failed us major
Happy Independence Day to Nigeria which was yesterday . This video was great
Thank you! 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬
🫶🏽🇳🇬
Melissa is STUNNING!!! You go girl
Absolutely beautiful 😍
I know I couldn’t stop staring at her❤
Absolutely gorgeous
It is so amazing that the Gullah-Geechee Americans still make a version of Jollof rice but we call it Red Rice. This dish is something special that is shared between Southern Black Americans and West Africans. I almost want to cry.
Nigerian jollof >> Red Rice 🤨
@seismicvertigo345 maybe so maybe so I want to taste the Nigerian Jollof it seems they do have the best based on the videos I've been seeing.
@@trey0693 😅 I am about to book a trip to South Carolina. lol, I was just joking about my comment. All goes back to Senegalese rice anyway. That is truly inspiring
Wow!!! Would love to try it
That Guinea Bissau babe is a beauty to behold. Naija won!!!! 🇳🇬 We no dey carry last 😅
I love how honest and kind everyone was. And really knowledgeable about different cultures. The results are just the truth!
Impressive ❤
It’s clear Ghana 🇬🇭 and Nigeria 🇳🇬 is still continuing the battle, Ghana still doesn’t accept defeat
As an American from the south, Ghanaian jollof takes it everytime lol.
The origins of Jambalaya ? 🤔
See this Ghana man 😂 show your face no dey hide 😂 I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE
Thank you!!!!!😂😂😂 Ghana stand up 😂😂❤❤❤❤
@@chidedeno.
@@MsSoraya it probably is. You're in denial
Shii, my Naija King just won without any pump and pageantry. When his plate was presented, I was shaking in my boots. Goes to affirm that, all that glitters is not gold.
Finally, a group of respectful people
Good job Nigeria 🇳🇬🇳🇬❤️ I remember the first time I tried Nigerian jollof, I was hooked. Seems like Nigeria is just better at everything. Music, food, entertainment. I’ve never seen other African movies on Netflix. Just Nigerian. Nigerian afrobeat is worldwide now and they’re the only ones with artists on the charts, even the Nigerian fufu and egusi has been trending.
They're Africa's most populous nation with its biggest economy. They're most of the world's first exposure to Sub-Saharan Africa.
There's so many South African movies and shows on Netflix though...
@rimun5235 Yeah, but South Africa movies are not as popular as NollyWood movies. Not even close. The question is, why is nobody watching your movies compared to Nigeria movies? Why does the world gravitate towards anything Nigeria?
@@2LETLIVEYou have a point. I have always wondered.
@@2LETLIVE Because Nigerians are THE BEST!!! Simple
Other countries need to fall back for real because honestly it's really never a competition. Also the idea that some West Africans sometimes say that Nigerian food is oily, needs to be fully dumped. Every single country on the continent uses oil exponentially in their dishes. Abeg. Temi, congrats 👏🏿
I’m from Iran and my mum makes something similar which is SO delicious. I imagine this jollof rice which looks like my mums rice might be similar. I would love to eat this jollof rice one day! Definitely planning a trip to west Africa
Shout out to Sia! If you know, YOU KNOW! What I love is that they all and we all (West Africans) have become Jollof Rice connoisseurs. We are able to immediately identify the quirks and characteristics that each nation likes to add to the dish. Love this content! This is exactly what I am here for 🙌🏾🙏🏾🇳🇬👌🏾💪🏾👏🏾☝🏾💯✊🏾✌🏾
I’m not African, but as soon as I saw the title of the video, I thought, “if there’s a Nigerian, they’ll win”.
If the world doesn't know Nigeria has the best jollof by now, I worry for the future of mankind.
Yours truly,
An unbias Jamaican ❤
😂😂 thank you
Well said!
Gbam!!!
😂😂😂😂right
This was funny😂😅
Its nice how everyone was so polite. This was a nice watch and yeah, Nigeria to the world!!! ❤
So soothing 🤗
Buzz feed has made this video so many times but have yet to bring SENEGALESE people. the OG Jollof
we need an east african battle next🥹🥹. who has the best pilau
Yes to this!!!!!!!!
Omg yeeess!
Which counties should we get involved???
@@adaenechi6723 Uganda, Tanzania, Kenya,

I love Black people so much. Elegance unmatched. Beauty unmatched. Skin unmatched. Swag unmatched. ❤❤❤❤❤
Ghana let Nigeria win the jollof rice. However, your Waakye is absolutely amazing and is one of the best African rice dishes.
Ghanaian always with a positive energy 🙃 Medase 😉🇬🇭
To be honest I’m Jamaican but I love ghana jollof rice
Corrrect person❤❤❤ loool. Ruth xx
Dey play😂
To be honest if you pay attention sia and temi under scored ruth. Sia even said it looks like and smells like restaurant food but gave it a 6
@@thekid8224 looks and smell may be somethings but taste is another. So I'm pretty sure the Nigerian Jrice got the tastes even without meats, fish or whatnot.
@@amos_eternal you're absolutely right looks and smells are one thing taste is another. Only thing is from the video we both watched when it came to taste seems ruth done well there to sia said Ruth's jollof set the standarded yet gave her a 6 doesn't make sense. It's very obvious sia and temi underscored ruth this happens all the time in these types of competitions when they come across food that they know could potentially win they underscore
Best to Jollof rice I ever had was from Senegal!!! (then Ghana, then Nigeria)
fax
It was recently that I discovered that what my grandmother used to make and call red rice (she was from the US south) is actually a version of jollof. It must be a west African dish that made it (at least a version of it) to the US south during slavery. I was watching a YT video of someone making jollof and was like wait a minute that’s ‘red rice’ lol.
Woahhh that’s suppper cool. Would love to try it
OF COURSE, NIGERIA WINS!!!!
Everyone was so polite!! I love these people!
loving the level of love and respect they have for each other lol. they were even able to differentiate between something not tasting good, and their personal preference.
How can you have a jollof rice competition and not include Senegambia? 😭 rematch pleaseeeeee
tell them to answer their phonesssss
🇳🇬
He didn’t even do too much. Just the rice and 💥. Naija 4 life
As a Nigerian, ejor we serve our food with meat ohh😂 I feel like knocking his head
Thank you oo, and plantain
Didn't he put meat? Lol
It the fact that Nigerian jollof won without meat or any extras in it, just rice. Respect💪💪💪💪
You know the Nigerian Jollof had to be good af because it didn’t have an sides
loved ruth's plating I think I would've went with hers overall.
Same here 😊
You didn’t even taste the Jollof. How would you have chosen a Jollof you didn’t taste🤣🤣
Looolll even though I came 2nd. I'm still a winner for the taste, side dishes and my delectable colslaw alone 😂😂😂😂😂 Temi's Jollof was sweet and spicy though cant lie! Ruth xxx
You represented us well. Proud. And yes. Eggs rule.
I would’ve picked yours ☺️💕 love us some eggs ngl
@@asareirene Thank you xx
@@Brwniee95 🤣🤣 eggs forever looool
Spice better
I'm so impressed they could recognise the different countries in West Africa,
I’m 🇬🇭🇱🇷🇸🇱🇳🇬 and I think the best Jollof comes from Senegal🔥😭
Yes yes yes. Djolof is the local name for Senegal. Thank us later😂
Thank you. Senegal is the top of the top. That's why they never include us in their battle.
@@aminarassoulbecause they know if you guys enter they will all lose😂 since they don't make real jollof rice at all😂. The one in senegal it eaten with so many things but their is only with chicken or with no chicken😂😂😂. At least the Guinea girl tried to make it look different then just eating it with chicken. Nah but for real if senegal enters they all losing. Only senegal males real jollof everyone else is making everything beside jollof. I don't even think they know what the word (Jollof) mean or where it came from😂
basically, so the spicier the jollof the more people like it. Ghana looked way more than a 6.
naija just served rice with no meat. THATS MAD
That's the confidence 😂
And won.
We are heavy on the confidence plus we don’t have to knock others for us to win
I mean its a jollof war not a meat or stew war
It's a mad flex
I wanted to see someone from Senegal represent since Jollof rice is from there. Anyway, I knew Nigeria would win because Nigerian Jollof rice is flavorful & delicious.
I am soooooo blessed because I do parties and I’ve had jollof rice from so many regions and I am so GRATEFUL! Jollof rice is LIFE!
If your jollof needs stew then it’s not nice imo 🤷🏾♂️
So true! Lool
Exactly
Totally unrelated, but everyone's SKIN IS GORGEOUS!!!!!!!
Notice how Nigerian jollof was the only rice that did not come with all the side trimmings yet still won. Whattttttt!!! Super proud abeg
That’s the first time no one is trash talking. Love the respect ❤
Temi did us proud and beauty was served because both the people and the food looked beautiful!!🎉
Naija Guy ,He could identify all the countries by the jollof . Nice one 🎉
Senegambia should be mentioned.
Love how all of them were really polite and how they were so well versed on the intricacies of other countries. I think these lot and the italian moms are my favorites.
Also, love myself a good Jollof.
Africans Unite ❤💛💚🇿🇦 I cannot wait to watch all these amazingly beautiful people! Can we get recipes please?!
Suggestion for the next episode, West Africans try each others pepper soup
Nice one !!
Or okra!
yesssss!
Pepper soup is exclusive to only Nigeria 🇳🇬.
@@james56660 In Ghana we refer to it as light soup, but in many west African countries, they also say pepper soup. But If you say so Mr. Exclusiveee 😅
Thank you Sia! Gotta have stew with it 🇸🇱
Funny enough the Nigerian 🇳🇬 jollof that won was the simplest 😂 even a piece of meet wasn't there,
Reminds me of cryuff about football "To play football is simple but playing simple football is one of the hardest things there is"
I'm Nigerian so Temi, kudos for repping us well! But I would say that in my opinion, Senegal makes the best jollof rice.
I’m Nigerian as well I love Senegalese jollof soooo much
the both of you should not come back to this country, walai I go bight person🙄
Senegal/Gambia for me but then again both countries have the tribe that originated the dish.
I love your honesty
Our Nigerian brother did us proud……….. just again!!!!!!!!!!!
Very Nigerian and proud ‼️
Yes he did
I just love how everyone was so kind and respectful towards each other. Thank you for bringing class! 🙌🏾
😂😂 she said this is not wowing me but kept eating even when she scored it 5 😂😂😂😂
Loooooool sis, I like food and I had to give it a couple bites to ensure I was scoring it fairly😂😂😂
I need to cook for them. 🇸🇱
But I do love Nigerian jollof.
You guys are choosing violence today……
Team Ghana 🇬🇭 😂😂
Maximum Violence! ✊🏾☝🏾🙌🏾💪🏾🇳🇬
They needed older generations to make the dishes. Sierra Leone jollof rice and stew is Everything when cooked by the right generation 😍😍😍
Melissa is stunning. Shout out Guinea-Bissau.
Their jolloff rice is amazing, Gambias and Senegals are also amazing.
Original settings.
