why isn't nigerian food continental?

When you go for an international buffet, you never get to see Nigerian delicacies, and i've always wondered why. Isn't our food sweet enough? is it too spicy? or is it just beneath world-class standards? Why?
I actually discussed this with my sister and she was of the opinion that while you can say Italian food and think pasta, or say Chinese, or Indian, or even English breakfast, there is no generally accepted Nigerian food.


If anyone is thinking rice right now, please forget it, rice isn't originally Nigerian. So i'd like to know, why do you think Nigerian food isn't continental? Also if we were to name a particular meal 'Nigerian Food' which meal would you suggest?

    We've got interesting cuisine here in Nigeria, obviously the reason why it can't be considered a continental one is that we don't our food, we consider them too heavy and crude.
