While vendors sell staples like bread, onions and palm oil everywhere here, options for cooked, ready-to-eat street foods are somewhat limited . You do see roasted plantains, fried yam, and now, with the rainy season coming, a lot of excellent roasted corn.
And suya. This spicy barbecued beef, a specialty of the Hausa tribe from northern Nigeria, really stands apart. Served with onions and cayenne pepper, I would put any suya-man here up against the best Vendy Award finalists. Its that good, especially with a Star beer to wash it down.
Suya sellers rarely come out before sundown, which makes it hard to take pictures, but I came across a sort of suya wholesale operation yesterday in Ogba. My apologies to the vegetarians!

Yum! I'm adding this to the list for a dinner party upon your return.
