BUYING

The following are places that I believe sell AFRICAN (it's hard to limit a search to just Nigerian) food and/or ingredients (wholesale or retail, store or by mail, etc.). I am not affiliated with any of these locations, so if you have any questions, please contact them directly, but if you find an error please let me know.

Most of the stores listed are out of Africa, but then again, if you are IN Africa, you probably don't need this list much.
