Jollof and Palmie is a Motorbike and Food Festival, this is to give non-bikers a way to socialize with other group members and super-motorbike riders (Bikers) around Africa.
The primary goal is to foster a pleasant, laid-back, and networking environment for everything bike-related, allowing non-riders to gain an appreciation for the motorcycling community, experience different motorbike models, and discover the nuances of riding in general.
Jollof and Palmie is held every third quarter of the year and is free to attend, though registration is required.
It displays some of the most exquisite bikes in Africa and contributes to highlighting the gastronomic brilliance that African food vendors radiate.
Here are some video clips of the previous enjoyable moments of Jollof and Palmie:
ACCORDIND TO EROMONSELE EMMANUEL, THESE ARE THE TOP 3 REASONS TO LOVE JOLLOF AND PALMIE
#1. POP-UP MARKET AND THINGS
Aside from the bike-focused display, you would enjoy the side attractions like food kiosks, clothing lines, and art galleries. The site was supercharged with bikes above 200cc.
I mean, Muri Okunola Park offered a tone of activities!
The air filled with the smell of freshly grilled meat and burning metal from the double exhausts of the motorbikes as they roared upon entry.
Additionally, hardly many motorcycles and cars were listed for sale by wealthy people. I struck into a casual conversation with the owner of a Mercedes Benz E-class who like drifting cars. I quizzed him about his combustion engine while he played me clips of his skid marks around Lekki.
#2. FOSTERING COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
Every year, the B.A.D Gang, an active motorcycle community in Nigeria, organizes Jollof and Palmie, an annual event where new members, both young and old and male and female, are admitted into the club on a large stage.
In addition to the exciting induction, participants engaged in activities including Jenga, Table Tennis, Ludo, and Tic-Tac-Toe and raffle draws.
They made new pals.
The MC occasionally provided guidance on use the hashtags. Yes, content creators and celebrities came together as well.
At the event, I ran across Charlie Boy, Ayo The Creator, and Kaffy.
Everywhere I looked there was a photo opportunity.Once more, the group received medical attention on-site.
If you so desired, you could test your blood pressure and sugar levels, among other things.
Finally, not many riders permitted participants to take pictures with their bikes.
#3. EXOTIC TWO-WHEELERS TO DIE FOR?
I had the opportunity to see the widest variety of motorcycles in one location after more than 20 years of existence.
Likewise, in Lagos? I was astounded!
Every time I believed I had seen the greatest bike, a newer model appeared.
Dopamine-releasing, I assure you.
Fortunately, I made a friend named Ade who knew a lot more about motorcycles than I did. He gave me information on their types, power, transmission, and other characteristics.
A helicopter with a “propeller shaft transmission”—the kind seen in oil tankers—was the subject of one of our main conversations.
It was much more fun because my female buddies Natty and Goody Bag were here again! We chatted, caught up, and took some more pictures with the delicate motorcycles.
Hurry up!
There was a recurring jingle about not letting someone lean on bikes or climbing without the owners’ consent.
At one point, it even felt irritating, but I get it.
I am pleased to invite you to the BIGGEST Motorbikes and Foodfest you will ever attend in Nigeria… and maybe Africa!
The JollofandPalmie Motorbikes and Foodfest on the 4th of August, at the famous Muri Okunola park Lagos.
