| Among the food stalls is the ever-popular Nigerian stand where Obalande Suya serves different kinds of Nigerian food and other delicacies, which were served with the strong Nigerian liquor namely Guilder and Guinness. The Nigerian section is a very interesting area to Nigerians and other nationals because this is the only place you can listen to the Legendary Afro beat music of Fela Anilapokuti. | ||
