Patrice Evra Sends Huge Message to Ghana After Tasting Delicious Nigerian Jollof As He Enjoys Mood by Wizkid

• Patrice Evra has disclosed that the delicious Nigerian jollof rice tastes better than that of Ghana
• The Frenchman made this declaration in a social media post, which comes weeks after he said Ghana jollof was better
• Evra made a U-turn from his initial remarks about the Nigerian jollof as he listened to Mood by Wizkid and BNXN

Former Manchester United captain Patrice Evra has suggested that the jollof rice war between Ghana and Nigeria 'will never end'.

With its tantalising aroma, deep-red colour and spicy flavour, jollof rice is the undisputed queen of West African kitchens.

The culinary treasure is adopted in several West African countries, and these nations have made it so personal when it comes to pride and contention, QZ reports.

The Frenchman, who recently visited Ghana as part of activities ahead of the 2022 FIFA World Cup, had claimed that the Ghana jollof tastes better than that of Nigeria.

However, the 41-year-old seems to have changed his mind after tasting the delicacy prepared by a Nigerian once again.

The Senegal-born superstar has continued to engage his Instagram followers as he gave an update, claiming a ‘big guy’ accosted him in a restaurant and wrote to him never to undermine the Nigerian jollof.

Evra said:

“Guys, that jollof war will never end. I was in a restaurant and a big guy dropped a piece of paper on my table and left. I turned it and saw 'don’t ever say that Ghanaian jollof is better than Nigerian jollof'.

“So I feel scared and feel threatened for my life. So I’m going to give another chance to my Nigerian people, maybe I tasted the not too good one the first time.”

To his delight, the former footballer held a plate of Nigerian jollof as he ate. He added:

“So let’s be fair…let’s see. That’s what I’m talking about. OMG - I’m sorry my Ghanaian brothers, this is the best. I love this game, happy Monday to all my Nigerian people.”
