Nigerians love to eat the traditional "five-color board", that is, cake-like or paste-like food mixed with corn flour (yellow), potato flour (light yellow), bean flour (brown), vegetables (green) and tomatoes (red). They like to eat porridge soup, while Kanouri people like to eat "Blab Sco", that is, porridge boiled by millet, which is covered with cooked oil and has an attractive aroma.

As for soups, "Egusi Soup" cooked with fried wax gourd, dried wax gourd, tomato pieces, fish or chicken and "Akala Soup" stewed with minced meat and bananas are more popular, fragrant but not greasy, and unique.
