Thanks Nigerian Twitterverse for the contributions. Here is what we have – 5 approved sides for Jollof Rice: Meat, Dodo, Coleslaw, Moinmoin and Eggs.
Per plate? Two or more of these seem like the right amount. For example – dodo and meat; meat and moinmoin; dodo and eggs. Get the drift? Minimum allowable accompaniments if ground level na two. Worst case sha, one go do.
Banana, coleslaw, dodo and any peppered meat cut in teeny pieces and stewed. https://t.co/r5qbwkIHPT

Deep fried. Or roasted. Barbecued. Beef. Chicken. Turkey. In cute small bits. Peppered.

2. Dodo
Best diced. Every other form is bleh. And yes, it matters. Some say brown, others say soft, ripe, sweet.
