Former Manchester United defender Patrice Evra has settled the age old  debate about which is better the Nigeria jollof or Ghana jollof.

The left- back has been in West Africa the past week having toured his homeland Senegal, Nigeria and Ghana.

Over the years these two West-African neighbours Ghana and Nigeria have been fighting over who has  the best jollof rice.

But Evra has settled the dabte choosing the Ghana jollof over the Nigerian jollof claiming that the Ghanaian jollof is the closest meal to the Senegal jollof.

The jollof rice is a one pot meal which is prepared with rice and stew cooked together with vegetables and meat or fish.

It is a popular delicacy in the West African sub-region and often served at public functions such as parties, social gatherings among others.

He has been in Nigeria and his home country of Senegal after his Ghana visit, he is expected to head to and Ivory Coast before returning to his base in Europe.

He was given a rousing welcome by the Manchester United Supporters group of Ghana when he touched down on Tuesday evening.

Evra spent eight years at Manchester United where he won 14 titles with Manchester United before joining Juventus, where he also scooped five titles.
