VeryDarkMan tries jollof rice from Ghana

In the video, VeryDarkMan had a plate of jollof with coleslaw and meat, and after tasting the first spoonful of the meal, he expressed his displeasure at the lack of spices.

The famous TikToker questioned whether the lack of taste was due to the carrot he did not mix with the jollof, but unfortunately, that was not the case.

He then decided to pour some of the water in his glass onto the food in the video to find out whether it would taste better, but it still did not.

"Where's the spice? Nigerian jollof is better. Nigerian jollof over Ghanaian jollof. Don't play," he said.

He then went ahead to shower praises on a Nigerian Chef who broke the Guinness World Record for the longest cooking hours in 2023, Hilda Baci. He stated that Ghanaian chefs need tutorials from Hilda to improve the quality of their jollof rice.
