Ghanaian-American comedian and actor Michael Blackson recently added a unique twist to the list of criteria for his future wife, a proficiency in preparing Ghanaian Jollof rice.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a lighthearted yet seemingly serious manner, Blackson declared that any potential candidate aspiring to be his life partner must possess the culinary skill to master Ghana Jollof, a popular and culturally significant dish in Ghana.<\/p>\n

Jollof rice, a one-pot dish made with rice, tomatoes, onions, and various spices, holds a special place in the hearts and palates of many Africans.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Doreen Avio at his school\u2019s 1st-anniversary celebrations in Agona Nsaba in the Central Region, Michael Blackson said one requirement to win him over is with original Ghana Jollof.<\/p>\n

\u201cJollof test. You have to cook jollof and I have to taste it and it has to be great. I hang out with a lot of Nigerians, Sierra Leoneans, and even Chinese with fried rice. If my wife cannot represent my country with the perfect Ghana jollof, I can\u2019t marry you.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

While it remains to be seen whether this culinary criterion is a non-negotiable aspect of Blackson\u2019s search for love, he revealed he almost got close to marrying his housekeeper because she cooked one of the best Jollof dishes<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m so close to marrying my housekeeper. She cooked some jollof the other day. It is part of the best jollof I have had in a very long time.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
