Well most would think not much at all, but that is surely a sign of being unpatriotic?
Even the most unpatriotic Nigerians international students must miss some things right?
So what did we find they missed the most?
You guessed it . . . FOOD! -Nigerian Food to be precise.
Funnily enough there is access to Nigerian food in the UK, and has been for some time.
Buying fresh Nigerian ingredients can cost up to four times as much as in Nigeria - and you dare not complain, what's you alternative. You undoubtedly must eat some English food to balance costs but nonetheless there are shops and markets available to buy those coveted Nigerian ingredients in almost every town, just ask around, if you don't see a Nigerian or other African to tell you. Indians generally sell African goods in their stores. London is probably the easiest city to find your African goods and you can get stuff from these markets:
- Brixton Market
- East Street Market
- Ridley Road Market aka ‘Dalston Market’
- Rye Lane Indoor Market
- Shepherd’s Bush Market
Can't cook? Won't cook? - Don't worry there are restaurants in London too (also highly priced spend on average £20 for a meal that you could probably cook for yourself with the equivalent of £1 net - but tasty nonetheless - lets hope you have a part time job to help out)!
