British-Nigerian content creator Oluwademilade Abimbola, popularly known as Miss Demz has made a strong claim about Nigerian food.
While speaking on the Lagos meets London podcast, Miss Demz claimed that Nigerian food being sold abroad tastes better that the ones in Nigeria.
She defended her claim, explaining that the vendors in London that sell Nigerian food operate in a more competitive environment.
“I feel like the Nigerian food I’ve had in London sometimes tastes better than what we get back home, the consistency, presentation and hygiene are just on another level.”
Her statement quickly stirred the conversation surrounding authenticity. Many Nigerians stated that her claims are untrue, noting that Nigeria is the home to flavors and unique cuisines.
