At the much-talked-about wedding of Nigerian music superstar David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, and his longtime partner, Chioma Rowland, in the United States, one unlikely guest stole the show — Amala.
Despite the lavish continental dishes, exotic seafood spreads, and designer desserts on offer, the humble yet iconic Yoruba delicacy emerged as the undeniable star of the day. The Amala stand became the most crowded spot in the banquet hall, with guests forming long queues and jostling good-naturedly for a plate of the smooth, dark delicacy served alongside steaming bowls of richly seasoned soups.
Videos from the event, now making the rounds on social media, show guests abandoning other food stations to secure their share. “No other food can pull this much crowd — Amala is the king!” one guest exclaimed, echoing the sentiments of many.
In the end, it wasn’t just about taste. The Amala frenzy became a celebration of culture, tradition, and identity — a proud reminder that even on the grandest global stage, Nigeria’s culinary heritage can command centre stage.
