Nigerian restaurants in London (1)

Inspired by Lifehacker’s How to Eat Ethiopian Food, I decided to find a comprehensive list of nigerian restaurants in London. The information was scattered all over the place, I resolved to put together a page on nigerian restaurants in London. As for how to eat nigerian food, don’t let my grandmon catch you using fork and knife. Just ask the waiter/waiteress for water to wash your hands.

Nigeria not business-friendly (0)

A recent survey by the World Bank has ranked Nigeria as one of the least friendly countries to do business. The full details of the survey on Nigeria can be found here. The survey concludes that it is relatively easier to set up a business but enforcing contracts is very difficult and if you thinking of registering a property - it takes 21 steps and 274 days with the cost of the process equalling 27.1% of overall property value. However when it comes to firing and hiring, we do very well as you would expect (27 out of 152).

Nigerian ad on CNN (0)

Has anyone else seen this ad featuring Obasanjo on CNN? It is supposed to promote the tourism industry in Nigeria. I have not seen it but reviews particularly from local newspapers in Nigeria are pleading that the ad be stopped.

Due to low quality I hear (it seems I can do better), even the fruits and vegetables are off-putting. Perhaps a few jobless actors/models should have been hired rather than the president for the ad shoot - every little helps.
