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. 1 Like |

Except u have other clandestine ways of packing it eg. Freezing it, then you may end up buying palm oil for those customs guys. 1 Like |

paradisewoods: Hello house, pls which of these Items wont be allowed at the airport? I am trying to bring all these stuffs along to the UK. Thanks Basically, all small liquid contents (perfume etc.) should be packed in your checking bags polish perfume indomie shoe spaghetti rice beans garri You can get these quite cheap here, but all your choice gesha sardine soap detergent salt You won't find good/tasty maggi here. Atleast, i haven't maggi You'll pass through with these ones if you're lucky.......Like me But people advice you freeze them. I personally, just wrapped my honey with thick nylons and packed in the checking bag. palm oil groundnut oil 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 ![]() Send us the address of your restaurant when you get here o ![]() 1 Like |

spikesC: Guy abeg ehh a friend of mine used his credit card to help me pay my school fees. And I want to give him 4million in the uk. What is the best way to pay him that money in pounds sterling? |
Re: Nigerian Students In The Uk How Do You Survive? by 3sha4lyf: 3:06pm On Sep 23, 2014 |
spikesC: Search well... We get them plenty. Alternatively, Knorr pots are the bomb. ![]() spikesC: 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 ![]() |
Re: Nigerian Students In The Uk How Do You Survive? by spikesC(m): 9:57pm On Sep 23, 2014 |
GeneralShepherd: 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. |
