Tanzanian Singer Juma Jux and Priscilla Ojo React to Gala Snack: ‘Unpalatable!’
Popular Tanzanian singer, Juma Jux, is currently in Nigeria ahead of his wedding to Priscilla Ojo, and one of his first cultural experiences has sparked a buzz online. The artist, known for his smooth vocals and stylish persona, decided to try the popular Nigerian roadside snack, Gala, and his reaction was anything but positive.
In a now-viral video, Jux is seen seated in a car with Priscilla. He takes a bite of the sausage roll, appearing unimpressed before handing it over to his fiancée. Priscilla, after taking a taste, did not hold back her verdict, declaring it "unpalatable."
Nigerians React: Is Gala No Longer the Same?
Their reaction quickly sparked a debate online, with many Nigerians agreeing that Gala is no longer the iconic snack it once was. Social media users flooded the comment section with mixed opinions:
Chioma remarked: "E pain me sey you no taste this Gala for Goodluck or Buhari regime. I no just understand Tinubu Gala."
Oyinda stated: "Gala that looks like suffering 😚."
Nicole emphasized: "He’s right, Gala is no Gala again."
Ceila added: "They should have given him Beefie or even Superbite. I can’t even stomach the taste of Gala again."
A Declining Favorite?
For many Nigerians, Gala has been a trusted snack for years—an affordable and convenient go-to meal for commuters, students, and workers alike. However, over time, complaints about declining quality and taste have grown louder. Could this be a case of changing recipe formulas, cost-cutting measures, or simply nostalgia for the past?
Jux’s reaction may have been unexpected, but it echoes a sentiment many locals have shared in recent times. If one of Nigeria’s most famous snacks is losing its appeal, is it time for manufacturers to take note?
What do you think—has Gala truly lost its touch, or is this just a case of personal taste?
