Abujafood: The fact that Nigerians whether at home or abroad are passionate about their food is undeniable. Nigerian dishes are as numerous and varied as the different tribes, cultures and religions you will find in the country. Below we list 10 Nigerian food staples that are among some of the nations favourites. Feel free to agree, disagree or simply salivate.

Pounded Yam

Pounded Yam is one of Nigeria's most popular dishes that can be served with a variety of soups like Egusi, Ogbono and Okara soup. Yam, which is widely available is boiled and pounded into a smooth mash. You’ll most likely find people eating pounded yam with Egusi, Banga, Ogbono or some other meal.

Jollof Rice

Jollof Rice suprisingly is not authentic to Nigeria, it is actually popular across West Africa. It is easy and quick to make making it the go to recipe for most cooks. Jollof Rice like any other rice based meal in Nigeria is considered a prestigous meal and is served on special occassions and other social gatherings.

Akara/ Kosai

This Nigerian fried bean cake is served across Nigeria. In the South it is called Akara and in the North it is referred to as Kosai. You can find it being sold cheap on the road side or fried for special occassions. It's popularity is uncontested as you'll find Nigerians eating this snack for breakfast.

Tuwo Shinkafa

'Tuwo Shinkafa' translated from Hausa language means Mashed Rice. It is the go to side for many Nothern soups such as Miyan Kuka, Miyan Karkashi and even Okara soup in many Hausa-speaking communities. It is usually served daily for lunch or dinner.

Moin Moin

Moin Moin is a Nigerian steam bean pudding originating from South West Nigeria. Moin Moin can be made with corned beef, onions, egg, crayfish or sardine to give it that added flavour. It can be served alone as a snack or with other Nigerian dishes.

Pepper Soup

Nigerian pepper soup is among the nations favourite dishes due to its intensely spicy flavour and the variety of meat, fish or chicken that can be cooked with it. The soup broth is rich with aromatic spices, pepper, ginger, garlic and onions to give it that unforgettable taste.

White Rice with Stew

This may just be the most widely eaten meal in Nigeria. There is no community in any major town or city where rice and stew is not served. The boiled white rice is dished with a tomato based stew with your choice of meat, chicken or fish. The taste of Stew varies from cook to cook but many will agree that tomato, onions, pepper and oil make the core of this delicious stew.

Nkwobi

Nkowbi is a popular Ibo delicacy prepared from spiced goat leg marinated in a richly flavoured sauce of Utazi leaves, palm oil, For people looking to have a nice outing, a meal you can take as the African equivalent of an appetizer try pepper soup or dessert then you’ll be looking at Nkwobi. You’ll likely find them well served at Igbo kitchens in Major Nigerian Cities.

Suya

Suya should be crowned a national dish. Although Suya is a simple dish of higly spiced and marinated barbacued meat, chicken or fish, the popularity of this Nigerian delicacy is truly un-rivaled. You can find it across Nigeria served in restaurants to street corners at a very affordable price. In Abuja, Yahuza Suya is a popular suya spot with the locals. It can be served with Masa or eaten alone.

Garri

For the common man in Nigeria, this is one of those Nigerian meals that isn’t exclusive to tribe, geography or religion. It’s very hard to come across a Nigerian who has never had this meal in one form or another. It can be served in a variety of ways; with milk, pounded until it becomes a soft mash to eat with local soups, or sprinkled on beans.
