Oh really? shocked shocked

I didn't say you can't hv access to it....but it's not as easy as getting it when you are here in Naijawink

Go to New york, dallas, atlanta, chicago, new orleans, nuremburg, paris, berlin, frankfurt, to name a few, then come back and re type your post. There are a thousand and one nigerian stores abound. You'all need to start going places. Your perspective will change. I promise you.

Very true. Make sure to try Mexican(especially Chipotle), Italian, Indian and the good ole Chinese buffet. You'll love it! BJ's Brewhouse has some amazing western styled steak (anyhow you want it), Jambalaya and fabulous booze from the tap. Thank me later

I cook efo, egunsi, okro, titus stew, ewedu, asun peppersoup with assorted meat and ayamase(ofada stew) with basmati/Jasmin to replace ofada regularly. I get them all here in Canada.

Over generalization.
There's nothing I miss on or off this list that I don't eat whenever I want.
At last now that I've done the needle and married from home grin

That could be true in the 70's. Those time you have to rely on someone coming from home, and there is no guarantee the food will pass thru Custom.. how do I know? I live thru the time. But in this modern time, there is nothing of African/Nigerian food that I cannot get in New York.
There are African/Nigerian stores everywhere importing our foods, and especially if you marry an African/Nigerian woman who can cook varieties of food then you get everything.

Compared to food, Naija sweet pass wallahi. Everything is gotten fresh and still in it organic state while a lot of the ones shipped abroad aren't as fresh and tasty.

Source please. What i'm tracking is the life expectancy of a Nigerian is 52 years and the life expectancy of an American is 78 years. for a european it's 68 years. So i'm trying to figure out where you are getting your facts from.

What has your rant got to do with the source of your claim that western countries have more sickness in their societies?
