'Nigerians are ordering pizza from London and having it delivered by British Airways' Nigeria's minister of agriculture says wealthy Nigerians are ordering pizzas from London and having them delivered back home on British Airways flights.
Audu Ogbeh's comments come as Nigeria tries to cut down its reliance on foreign imports, which is seen as a status symbol. Ogbeh said the imports were harming local farmers. "It is a very annoying situation," he added, "and we have to move a lot faster in cutting down some of these things." Ogbeh doesn't name the Nigerians who allegedly make the orders, and it's not clear whether they personally fly to London for the pizzas or get someone else to do it.
