There jollof war going on between those two nations so it is not wrong to call any of them jollofinas until one snatches the title.

Meanwhile, Google has highlighted this difference,  noting further that Nigerians and Ghanaians use different species of rice to cook their jollof.

According to Google, “Nigerians and Ghanaians are particularly competitive over who makes the best jollof — and for good reason.

“There are distinct differences between the two cooking styles.

“For example, Nigerians use long-grain rice that absorbs more spices, while Ghanaians use basmati rice with a more aromatic flavor.”
