Nigeria is a country that has a hodge podge of ethnic groups. With the intermixing through marriages and migration, some Igbo staples have become national dishes. For example Eguisi soup is a eastern Nigerian dish prior to its spread across Africa. Also not every food we eat is cooked the same way but could be called the same name. Dishes like jollof, suya, meat pie, rice and stew, plantain are popular dishes that are eaten in West Africa in general. Dishes that are more specific to igbos are Oha Soup, Olubo Soup, Ofe Onugbu, Ogbono Soup, Ofe Owerri, Abacha, Nkwobi, Ugba, Agidi & Beans, etc.

Thanks for explaining.

So was it migrations that caused something like Jollof to be claimed by people of different nations like Senegal, Ghana, and Nigeria? And who lays original claim to it?

It's interesting how some of the nations share common dishes.

Joloff is originally from Senegal. Just that Nigerians think that their version is the best.
