Ofada rice and sauce Ofada rice and its signature sauce is a dish you can’t miss at any event, especially a Nigerian wedding. This delicious meal originates from the eastern part of Nigeria. It may not be available at every wedding, but when you see it at a Nigerian wedding, you better grab your chance to eat it. The sauce made with green bell peppers is ayamase, while the other, known as ofada stew, is made with red bell peppers. What makes this meal more enticing is the assorted meats and proteins inside.

This is a top-tier meal for any Nigerian wedding, and you should try it if you haven’t. ALSO READ: 3.

4. Pepper soup This is usually served as a dessert, and it really does prepare you for the main dishes. It is made from pepper, herbs, and spices. The protein used is the defining quality of the meal, it is usually chicken, beef, catfish, or goat meat. 5. Ukwa This is also known as African breadfruit and is made from beans. It is popular among the Igbo and Yoruba people, particularly the Remo people in Ogun State. It can be freshly eaten or prepared as porridge. Ukwa is a rich source of vitamins and minerals, particularly protein. At Igbo weddings, it is usually served to dignitaries and important people.
