The African jollof rice war amongst countries mostly from West Africa was reignited on Wednesday, April 6 at Stadin Ammattiopisto, Helsinki City vocational school. Seven countries took part in the culinary event which was organised by Diaspora Glitz Magazine, a magazine for the African diaspora run by Hon Obi-West Utchaychukwu, a Nigeria media guru.

The countries that participated are; Ghana, Cameroon, Liberia, Nigeria, Senegal, Sierra Leone and The Gambia
This was the first time such a competition of international standards will be organised for the African diaspora in Finland. Despite organising the competition during the weekday, the turnout was impressive as friends and families of the competitors came to show support for their own.

The organiser of the competition, Hon Obi-West Utchaychukwu, the Editor-in-Chief of Diaspora Glitz Magazine and also the founder of Miss Afro Diaspora Finland, a beauty pageant for young ladies of African descent ensured that the competition is transparent and without partiality.

Members of the jury are; Mr Paco Ndiaye, CEO Nomad Food and Wine, Turku, the CEO of Addis Kitchen in Helsinki, the CEO of Bantu Kitchen in Helsinki, Pamela Mesumbe, Natalia Mufutau (Naija Wifey) and Karin Laubert, a food specialist at Snellman Kokkikartano 0y.
Senegal won the cooking competition, Sierra Leone came second while Cameroon finished 3rd. Cash gifts for the winners were donated by Nomad Food and Wine and Uyanna Export Oy, both Turku based companies.

Unfortunately, Nigeria and Ghana failed to win the competition. They couldn't make the top 3

The date for the second edition of the cooking event will be announced later.
