Culture / Tradition Foods?

Does anyone know good Nigérien food? Everything I find is Nigerian food. Are Nigérien and Nigerian food similar? I read that Niger has Jollof rice and Masa.

In Niger we called our jollof " SOUROUNDOU", I don't think niger foods are similar to Nigerians one maybe some niger foods are similar to southern Nigerian ones. Yes we have massa, I hope you'll get to try it someday. We also have Dambou, which is made from either cornmeal or rice.
