The show host, amongst other questions, decided to ask the movie star to pick her favourite between Nigeria’s, Ghana’s, and Senegalese Jollof rice.

Kerry immediately picked Nigerian Jollof over the other two, buttressing that anything from Naija is better.

She also stated that her husband and a colleague were arguing over the same issue a while ago. The actress sounded so excited about the debate, as well as her pick.

Her comment has triggered another round of debate in the comment section as fans from different countries make cases for theirs.

Recall that Yemi Alade shared the moment she met British singer Ed Sheeran at an event. The singers got talking, and Ed confessed that he prefers Ghana’s version of Jollof to Nigeria’s, even though he hasn’t been to Nigeria.

Ed’s comment failed to sit well with the Nigerian music crooner, as she declared war on him.
