It is expected that every Nigerian should be the ambassador of the country’s jollof rice but Lai Mohammed apparently has failed in this simple duty, many critics think.
The drama started yesterday during his chat with CNN’s Richard Quest. When asked which country he thinks prepares the best jollof rice, the Minister of Information and Culture opened his mouth and said, “Senegal”.
For many minutes, Nigerians were left in shock because, for many years, Nigerians have battled for the country’s honour, tenaciously insisting that they prepare the best jollof rice, and had run Ghana out of the picture for daring to challenge them.
Now, Nigerians are dragging the minister for filth on all social media platform, and we must tell you: it is absolutely messy!
See some of the reactions:
Lai Mohammed just said, on @richardquest that #Senegal makes the best Jollof rice. Can we fire our Minister of Information for treason!

On behalf of Nigerians, since Lai Mohammed is now promoting Senegal jollof, we peacefully hand him over to Senegal to be fully naturalized

Seeing the outrage the minister has triggered, Richard Quest quickly rose to his defence, explaining that Lai Mohammed misheard the question. Read him:
To be clear. The Minister misheard he thought I asked, who first created jollof rice – hence his (correct) answer Senegal.
