Rice jollof
Score: 4.46/5 — A runaway favorite. Jollof (often “party jollof” with that signature smoky flavor) is the life of celebrations across Nigeria. Its high score reflects how central it is to gatherings, from weddings to weekends.
Rice
Score: 4.44/5 — Just a whisker behind jollof, plain rice shows its everyday power: perfect with tomato stew, fried plantain, beans, or as fried rice for events. Versatile, comforting, and always on the menu.
Fried Chicken
Score: 4.36/5 — Crispy, peppered, sometimes suya-spiced, fried chicken bridges street-food cravings and home-cooked comfort. It’s a crowd-pleaser at “owanbe” parties and movie nights alike.
Apple
Score: 4.30/5 — A refreshing, on-the-go snack that’s seen as clean and healthy. Commonly sourced from South Africa, apples have become a lunchbox and office-desk staple across cities.
Banana
Score: 4.30/5 — Affordable, sweet, and energy-packed. Bananas pair well with groundnuts, blend into smoothies, and make a quick breakfast you can grab on the move.
Bread (Packaged)
Score: 4.30/5 — Sliced, convenient, and everywhere. Packaged bread anchors quick breakfasts and late-night snacks—think butter and jam, egg sandwiches, or a dunk in hot tea.
Biscuits
Score: 4.28/5 — The tea-time MVP. From digestives to cream-filled varieties, biscuits slip easily into school bags, office drawers, and party packs for a sweet (or savory) bite.
Popcorn
Score: 4.27/5 — Cinema nights, roadside carts, and game-day gatherings keep popcorn in steady demand. Caramel or salted, it’s a light, shareable snack with big flavor.
Chocolate
Score: 4.22/5 — A treat with local roots. Nigeria is a notable cocoa producer, and both local bars and imports satisfy that sweet-tooth moment—perfect for gifts or self-care.
Ice Cream
Score: 4.20/5 — Cooling comfort in tropical heat. From neighborhood scoops to boutique gelato, classic flavors like vanilla and chocolate remain top picks when temperatures rise.
