About
Suya — spiced grilled meat skewers — originated with Hausa herders in northern Nigeria and has become one of the most iconic Nigerian street foods. The "suya spots" along major Lagos roads represent the cultural journey of this food from northern pastoral tradition to a pan-Nigerian culinary institution. Suya preparation involves a distinctive spice blend (yaji) of ground peanuts, chili, and local spices.
