A Ghanaian man’s humorous complaint about the portion size of jollof rice served at a funeral has surfaced on social media.

The man, who attended the ceremony expecting a hearty plate of the much-loved dish, expressed his disappointment in a video, emphasising that the meal was too small.

In the clip, the man was seen holding a takeaway pack with a visibly small serving of jollof rice, accompanied by a single piece of meat.

Shaking his head in dismay, he indicated that he took two packs since he suspected the meal would not be enough for him.

Why is jollof a big deal at events?

Jollof rice is traditionally served at special occasions such as weddings, funerals, and festivals. Hosting an event and serving generous portions of delicious jollof rice is seen as a sign of hospitality and generosity.

It is also a way to show appreciation for guests and to ensure everyone feels welcome and well-fed. As a result, most people attend events with high hopes of getting jollof after the event.

Netizens react Ghanaian man's complaint

The young man's complaint has generated buzz on social media. While some agreed with his assertions, others criticised him. Another section of netizens laughed over the video.
