I have been told yam isn't allowed
. And i been wan carry ogoja yam, Benue yam etc
But we can buy frm there
Congrats Pipis husband. At last! I am so happy for you. Congrats Motivated (we follow each other fa). And congrats to everyone with updates. Its worth the struggle.
Thanks everyone for the prayers and well wishes. It is a good land although the first couple of weeks is (and will be) unbelievably busy- forms upon forms, visiting different govt offices, finding and setting up apartment, looking for schools for kids etc.
I packed beans but dropped it a the last minute. Since Motivated brought beans, I am sure you can too. Since they didnt open bag here, u can attempt ur yam if you can scale Nigerian checks. But there is wheat and okro (we have been eating wheat swallow and okro soup with our dry fish from Naija and having fun!). There is also sweet potato to replace yam!
What I am loving most is the abundance and affordability of all kinds of fruits; the non-existence of NEPA (
) and the way everything is structured. Without a guide, you use google maps to plan your trips and can know to the very minute when the bus/metro will arrive.
Everyone has been welcoming, friendly and helpful. People go out of their way to help you as a new immigrant. So far so good...
