"Kenya Airways has the worst food. They served me 'rice with curried lamb sauce' from JKIA to Monrovia and I spent the whole flight looking for the 'lamb' because the only thing I saw were bones. I presumed the lamb must have trekked from Marraketch to Nairobi and lost its flesh."

White pastor tasted sweet jollof rice

Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that a short video of a white pastor narrating his experience of visiting Nigeria and eating the country's jollof rice went viral.

The man told church members that people need to visit Nigeria and taste the meal. He said he does not want to leave for America anymore.

As he used flowery words to describe the meal on the altar, the church members screamed loudly as if he was preaching.
