Basketmouth said: ” I have always wanted to create something that would be a collaboration between Nigeria and Ghana, and Ghana Jollof is a realisation of that dream.

” From the cast to the crew, everyone gave of themselves to create a show deserving to be Showmax’s first comedy-drama from West Africa.

” We all can’t wait for the fans to see what we’ve cooked up”.
