Nigeria, accounting for 36% of total livestock production. Emezie-Egwuonwu (2019) states that from east, 

west, north and south to virtually every corner in-between the country, there are a plethora of spice-rich 

flavourful dishes that tie Nigerians together. Maziya-Dixon et al. (2004) showed that whilst there is some 

variation across Nigeria the staple foods that are available and affordable do not vary significantly. The core 

foods are: rice, cassava, maize and yam: of these maize is the most frequently consumed staple with 20% of 

the population consuming it more than once a week either as green maize or as maize grain processed to flour.
