In Nigeria there's really no distinguishing meals that go for breakfast, lunch or dinner, basically anything goes for any time of the day. I will be listing a few popular Nigerian meals eaten as dinner. Most times there's no food timetable in a Nigerian home but whatever is eaten as dinner largely depends on the money a particular family has. Some healthy conscious Nigerians would stick to meals that are light and healthy but for the rest anything at all goes as long as it's easy to make. Some meals listed seem too heavy for me but maybe not for you so just choose what works for you and your family.
1. Custard or Akamu (pap)
This meal is usually accompanied with fried akara or moi moi and can be said to be a perfect Nigerian dinner. It has a lot of health benefits like regulates blood pressure, lowers cholesterol, good source of energy and others.
2. Moi Moi
This meal is made from grounded beans that has been washed and peeled, it is usually combined with pap. The likes of fish (mackerel), eggs, cray fish, tatashe are included when moi moi is being made.
3. Fried rice
This is a very popular meal that might not be eaten quite a lot for dinner but instead is more common in big celebrations or parties. It's not so easy to make and is quite expensive because of the various vegetables that in included.
4. Yam porridge
This meal is made and served as night food a lot in Nigeria because it is quite easy to make. As the name entails, yam is a major ingredient in yam porridge it wouldn't be yam porridge if yam was missing.
5. White rice and stew
I can say that this is the most eaten meal in Nigeria as dinner, almost all homes have rice and stew at least three times a week. The stew used to eat the rice is dependent on the family but most people use tomato stew. Vegetable sauce could also be a type stew used to eat with white rice.

more meals to come
they're everywhere😂
it's amazing how one meal is so recognised
