Nigerians are quite pissed with Minister of Information, Lai Mohammed after he claimed on-air that Senegal makes the best Jollof rice.
The whole drama started yesterday during his chat with CNN’s Richard Quest. Lai was asked which country he thinks prepares the best jollof rice, the Minister of Information and Culture responded, “Senegal”.
Immediately he made mention of Senegal, Nigerians were shocked to the bone marrow, because for many years, Nigerians have battled for the country’s honour, on Jollof rice, tenaciously insisting that they prepare the best jollof rice.
Now, Nigerians think Lai Mohammed is a traitor, and should be fired for treason.. They are really dragging him from limb-to-limb on Twitter.. Read some comments below:
See some of the reactions:

Nigeria will have the largest, most intelligent work force in the world. But needs to get its act together. #RichardQuestinNigeria
@richardquest @official2baba Did you by any chance meet someone named Lai Mohammed? I swear the guy fed you Lies. Our crook politicians won't allow anything good work.

Seeing the outrage the minister has triggered, Richard Quest quickly rose to his defence, explaining that Lai Mohammed misheard the question. Read him:
Oh, really?
Well, here’s what Nigerians think of this twist:
Oh Lord!!, Even Richard Quest is trying to defend our Chronic liar of a minister. LAI MOHAMMED twitter.com/richardquest/s…
To be clear. The Minister misheard he thought I asked, who first created jollof rice - hence his (correct) answer Senegal.
@richardquest You're trying to redeem his image. Lai Mohammed must apologize with a plate of Jollof Rice for each and every TwitterNG users. pic.twitter.com/ABrmGA7sIa

@richardquest He is our minister, you don't have to defend him for us! He's either mishearing or being misheard! It never ends with Lai Mohammed!
