He made wild assumptions about Jollof pasta going platinum, noting how popular it has become recently in the Nigerian meal plan.
Wale concluded that the egg should never be served alone with Ayamase but should always accompany the dish. On his list of the most underappreciated Nigerian dishes, he ranked yam and egg as his all-time favourite.
His words: “Hot takes. (Please don’t jump me). Jollof rice is for children. Rice and stew is where it’s at. Eba is superior to amala. Idk when jollof spaghetti came out but it’s goin platinum ever since its arrival. Ayamase without eggs is a crime. Yam and egg are the most underrated Naija delicacies. I swear. (Small small sugar on the yam)”
