Detailed Guide on food items to pack, when traveling from Nigeria 🇳🇬 to Uk🇬🇧 .
When my visa came out, and I was to get ready to travel abroad, I knew packing foodstuffs was a necessity. However, I didn’t know exactly what foodstuffs to pack, or what they would refuse me traveling with.
Hence, the need to make this video, to serve as a detailed guide on what food items to pack, when traveling to the Uk.
