21 million people fed by street vendors. Suya rivals yakitori.
Lagos’s suya — beef skewers coated in yaji spice and charcoal-grilled — delivers technical precision rivaling #9 Oaxaca’s moles, with a 15-second grilling window per side. Jollof rice sparks national debates between Nigerian and Ghanaian versions, a cultural intensity that is 30% more passionate than the average street food rivalry. A five-pack of puff-puff costs just 100 naira (about $0.12), making it cheaper than any fried snack in Lagos’s peer cities. The street food economy feeds 21 million inhabitants, a scale that outperforms #8 Marrakech’s Jemaa el-Fnaa.
