Benjamin Nwawgazi-Awuja: The food and the weather. I prefer when it’s warm, it helps me train better as a runner. I don’t like the cold here. Also the Nigerian delicacies aren’t much here.

Collins Olatunji: My family and the food. The food is delicious, once you eat it you're always satisfied. The vibe around most Nigerians is great, I miss that too.

Samuel Ebong: My family- especially my mummy. Also the ease of getting ingredients to cook Nigerian food. Here I use substitutes which makes the food taste different.

Shalom Nnadi- I miss being around Nigerians, here I stand out and it’s not always positively. I also miss the weather, it gets too cold here. I would like others to know there is more to Nigeria than what the media shows, we are accommodating and friendly.

  Jahslove Olubodun: The food, its better and healthier. The warm as well, especially as its getting cold here, and my family. I encourage others to come visit Nigeria.
