Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Jollof Rice and Other Revolutions - NY Times Editor's Pick this week

I learned the hard way that the diplomatic response is: "West Africans owe a debt of gratitude to the Wolof people of Senegal and Gambia for gifting the world this marvelous dish. Every West African country has wonderful jollof rice, although I myself am partial to Nigerian party jollof."

I'm still picking my Ghanaian friends' teeth from my body for my initial (joking) response in Essence to the question you just posed. 

Who wan die?
