    Jollof Rice
    Jollof rice is unarguably considered as Nigeria’s most popular food. Second, on the list would be egusi soup and eba. Eba is made from cassava and is usually combined with soup to serve.

    While there are thousands of foods existing in Nigeria, quite a few of them are considered popular across the African continent.

    If you are a Nigerian or friends with a Nigerian you will know about these foods first hand as they are loved by almost every Nigerian.

    Another reason they became popular was that they can be easily prepared by an average Nigerian.

    The most popular food in Nigeria is jollof rice and a great percentage of the Nigerian population know how to make a sumptuous meal of jollof rice.

    There are other foods that are considered popular in Nigeria too.

    1 Eba (served with soup)

    To so many people, Rice might be the most popular food in Nigeria, but I have a somewhat contradictory opinion. Rice is well known, but not a traditional food in Nigeria. Almost all cultures in Nigeria eat Eba/garri served with soup. This is the most popular food in Nigeria. There’s a popular saying in Nigeria “Garri no dey advertise, but e dey sell”.

    The demand for garri is very high. Its eaten by all class of people, and its always satisfying. Eba served with soup is the most popular food in Nigeria.

    Also, garri (eba) is cheaper than rice. A cup goes for about 50 naira while a cup of rice sales way over 100 naira at major grocery stores.

    I think EBA and soup is the popular food in Nigeria…

    Because it is eaten in all parts of Nigeria and its eaten by everybody…the poor rich and average… Even men, women and children.

    Its jst that some people prefer rice which is the second popular food to EBA…but rice is more expensive and many homes in Nigeria feel rice should be eaten during occatons….so to me EBA and soup is the most popular food in Nigeria
