There are plenty of them in bury park and inside Luton Shopping Mall. There are plenty Shops that sales African food ingredients in Market inside shopping Mall as well.

Another place to buy 100% Nigerian food ingredients is in high town road. There is a Nigerian shop called Abam foods. LU2 0DD, number 63.
High town road is at the back of train station. Walk through the train station-out to high town road.

If you want to eat Nigerian food then head to Victorian kitchen not far from Abam as well.

Pls when you go to Abam, be ready for their terrible customer service.

Oh really? Been there couple of times with my mate with no particular issue apart from waiting a bit too long for payment.

Yes, the waiting is ridiculous. They spend too much time talking to customers after serving them.

It's just crazy.

Give them the middle finger bro...
1.) It's unrelated to your field of specialization...
2.) It's unpaid!!!

You bring thousands of pounds into their economy and a year after....they still want you to do unpaid work?
Are you a philanthropist? Or you run a charity?
How will you survive here with unpaid work? Even those in paid employment scratch....so how will you do it?
I'm only here until I write the CFA exams in December.... I will definitely leave 2 days afterwards!!
cold people, cold country

Posh job title - No wage attachment !!! It might have been a good preposition if a wage was attached.
Something to add to your cv for future interest.

Go for it if you can since its business related. The experience and reference are priceless.

It's an added advantage on your CV.

Valuable work experience IMO (if you can afford it) something for your CV and networking- fancy title too
Ask for travel/lunch expenses if you can

it's not compulsory, He applied for it
many students applying for studies in the UK especially after the cancellation of the PWS visa ARE (should be) aware of working limitations in the UK/EU

He sought opinion… I gave him mine….
He already has cognate work experience from Nigeria… and its safe to assume he wants to return to Nigeria to work.
If you're suggesting he stays back in the UK to do "charity" work; … Factor in the cost of living and the fact that he could actually land a paid job in Nigeria when he gets back…..
well… what can i say…it's his decision to make...
Was he aware it was unpaid work before he applied? If the answer to this question is yes; then id say he's made his decision already…

What i'm saying in essence is; there are other factors to consider before he takes an informed decision; not just the fancy job title...

Bro you are massively underestimating the value of work experience especially when you have it on your CV from both side of Atlantic.

It's not always about money

The way i read his post, he's finished with his programme, probably has some few months left on his visa...so not necessarily staying back..just filling in with some real work experience...

Wish you luck as you decide
