‘Ghana Jollof’: Restoring the flavor
Ghana Jollof, originally a state cuisine, has suddenly entered partisan politics, and could tip the scales if one party decides to swear an affidavit changing its name to ‘Ghana Jollof Party.’ Their symbol could be simple: Jollof Rice with bow-legged fried plantains!

Ghana Jollof, once a state cuisine, has become entangled in partisan politics, potentially influencing the outcome of early October party elections. The dish's popularity has surged across the country in September, with one political party flaunting jollof as they campaign for leadership. Tourists are now cautious when selecting jollof at restaurants, fearing potential deportation for choosing the wrong variant.
The Ghana Jollof phenomenon has even led Jubilee House to alter its menu, replacing 'Jollof Rice' with 'Waakye,' in an effort to distance itself from a social media persona known for its inflammatory remarks. This persona, referred to as 'Ghana Jollof,' has been a vocal critic of prominent figures, using vulgar language and references to sensitive topics, including those related to motherhood and reproduction.
The persona's actions have sparked a debate about the appropriate use of social media and the impact of derogatory language on society. 'Ghana Jollof' argues that the Bible condemns injustice and false witness, and suggests that insulting those who insult others could bring about change. She urges civil society to unite in seeking justice and calls on President John Dramani Mahama to cease the cycle of insults.
Ultimately, the story calls for collaboration among Ghanaians to restore decency in social media and revitalize the national cuisine.
