Aus! Would dese immigration guys accept 3cartons of noodles, 4 ziplocks of beans 2 ziplocks of garri 5kg of semo 3 small pieces of poundo yam, frozen palmoil and a paint of yam flour?
I doubt they will allow you especially the palm oil. You can carry small quantity of some of those items as you can find all of them in the UK. The airport charges you may pay in Nigeria may not make it cheaper than buying here not minding the extra weight. Trust me you always want to travel light.

Forget o. I left in Naija and came into Aberdeen with indomie, garri, egusi, ogbono, knorr cubes, suya pepper, crayfish, bitterleaf, groundnut, iru and even native ogiri sef. I just couldn't be stopped mehn. I just gave the customs folks at naija the sweetest smile and told them I'm a student and the woman let me go like that (still can't believe my luck). Then my bags were not even checked in Aberdeen. I just picked up my bags from the baggage claim and left the airport like that. grin

So, if you can carry them (except for the palm oil, that might be pushing your luck too far), by all means go ahead.

She would be allowed all of those things except the palm oil, as long as she's withing her baggage limit.

Getting in palm oil might be extra headache for her if they decide to search her bag at Heathrow.

Nope. Most times they don't search, but if they do, and the person feels like, they would just take it from you and bin it.
That's all

I don't think any is of the better. both racism and tribalism are brothers of the same mom, and I condemn the either when I see.
