You might be a Nigerian jollof fan or a Ghanaian jollof fan. You might think that Jamie Oliver’s jollof was on point or you might believe it was disgusting. You might not even like jollof rice (what is wrong with you?). But you have to agree that jollof rice is important.
So this World Jollof Rice Day (yes, this is a thing), MAGGI Nigeria and Kitchen Butterfly have organised a special event to celebrate World Jollof Day. Here’s what’s going down:
1. A Jollof Rice exhibition.
Involving food art from super-creative Haneefah Adams (@muslimahanie) and the winners of the Instagram Photo Contest for World Jollof Rice Day.
2. A lesson on the history of Jollof Rice.
For those of you who want to know were jollof comes from (hint: heaven).
3. A chat with the convener of the first Wolof/Jolof Exhibition.
His name is Folakunle Oshun and he’s a sculptor. And a jollof rice lover.
4. A book meet on “Jollof Rice in Literature.”
Who knew that jollof rice was so deep?
Wana Udobong, Ozoz Sokoh and Amanda Chukwudozie will be discussing Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozie Adichie, Without a Silver Spoon by Eddie Iroh and other books. Eghosa Imasuen, author of fine boys will moderate and they’ll discuss themes like the cultural significance of Jollof, Jollof Rice across ethnic and socioeconomic barriers and Jollof as comfort food.
(Seriously though, who knew?)
5. An actual meal of Jollof Rice from Ghana High
Now you’re talking!
6. And finally, the after-party!
Because ain’t no party like a Jollof party…
7. And it’s going down this Sunday 21st August…
… at Whitespace (58 Raymond Njoku, Ikoyi, Lagos) between 4 and 7 pm. They said you should come hungry, we agree!

You know her as mother of the great Fela, but she was much more than that. A great advocate for women’s rights, Kuti led more than 10,000 women in a protest against native authorities at the palace of the Alake of Egbaland in 1949, causing him to relinquish his crown for a bit.
2. Yaa Asantewaa: Queen Mother of Ashante Kingdom.

3. Queen Aminatu: Warrior of Zazzau.
Born around 1533 in Zazzau (now Zaria), Amina was a fearsome warrior with a great army and empire. Her story inspires the fantasy series: Xena, The Warrior Princess.
4. Moremi Ajasoro: Olori of Ile-Ife.
Married to King Oranmiyan, this brave queen risked her life by going undercover to learn the secrets of the tribe terrorizing her people.
5. Ana de Sousa Nzinga Mbande: Ngola of Ndongo
Some say she was a queen, others believe she was a ruthless ‘king’! At the turn of the 17th century, Nzinga fearlessly and cleverly fought for the freedom of her kingdom from the Portuguese, who were colonizing the area now known as Angola.
6. Winnie Madikizela-Mandela
Born 1936, South Africa’s first black professional social welfare worker chose to struggle for equality and justice for all people in South Africa. After her marriage to Nelson Mandela in 1958, she suffered harassment, imprisonment, and periodic banishment for her continuing involvement in the struggle against apartheid.
7. Flora Nwapa: Mother of modern African literature.
Born 1934, Nwapa’s ‘Efuru’ was the first book written by a Nigerian woman. Flora unarguably paved the way for a generation of African women writers. ‘Efuru’ (1966), is based on an old folktale of a woman chosen by the gods.
8. Chioma Ajunwa-Opara, MON.
Chioma was the first West African woman, as well as the first Nigerian, to win an Olympic gold medal in a track and field event when she emerged victorious in the women’s long jump event at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta.

Born in Cross River in 1914, Ekpo was among the first wave of Nigerian women in politics. She was known for attending political rallies, and unionizing women to fight for their rights.
10. Miriam Makeba: Mama Africa.
Widely known for her incredible voice and music, Makeba was also a political activist. In 1963 she testified against apartheid before the United Nations. As a result the South African government revoked her citizenship and right of return. She stayed in America and married Stokely Carmichael, a Black Panther leader.
