Just messing you doing lots of shopping an that ? Brightons nice with the beach there Init I'm jelly

yeah ! Its so stressful and boring. Haven't been to the beach, so it'll be my first time.

jamela: Could anyone pls inform me on the best way to transport my tv to the uk? Is it best to use a courier or just tag along with it to the airport and book extra luggage? If I use the second option, do I have to worry abt duty fees at the airport and I hope tv license ppl would not try tracking me to my house as I'm yet to get accomodation and don't want to be asked to provide one at POE.

bring TV into the UK?
unless your TV is worth more than £5k, don't even bother. sell it in naija & use the proceeds to get another one here.

Please, ur palm oil might be seized at the airport. Except u have other clandestine ways of packing it eg. Freezing it, then you may end up buying palm oil for those customs guys.

The main people that will give you problems would be Nigerian immigration. Most people don't get searched in the UK POE





Also, you forgot crayfish and smoked fish

very true your main problem would be the nigerian immigration/customs/vet/lastma and all those funny coloured guys checking your bag

I doubt it's just a restaurant he's launching, be like full scale supermarket with take-away unit

Search well... We get them plenty. Alternatively, Knorr pots are the bomb. . You can get dem from Tesco, ASDA, Morrisons Sainsbury's etc.

If he's unlucky and goes thru the "nothing to declare" and they actually call him for a search, that may be a problem when they see frozen palm oil

You made a mistake o. You should have paid it with your Nigerian card.
Well, if he must take it in pounds, you have to exchange your naira and send it to him through bank.

You can also use the services of individual money transfer and exchangers as they're a bit cheaper.
I know of one here on nairaland, bebe2, i think.

Pls, note that i have never used her services, therefore i am not endorsing her, neither is this a guarantee.

But she has been on nairaland for long and was a regular on this section.

Greetings to the great people here. I have been following this thread for sometime now. Great job oga justwise, spikesC, etc. I came into the UK on monday via Lufthansa after a brief stop at Frankfurt. Lufthansa is cool, will recommendhere. It anytime any day. Brought in some foodstuffs and luckily my bag wasn't searched, both in Naija and at the POE. Brighton is a quiet and lovely city, gradually settling down. Lectures and seminars have been great. Trust God to make the best out of my stay here.
