Forget all the drama, what we miss most about Northern Nigeria is the food: masa, akara & pap (all over Nigeria), kilishi, kunu, danwake, tuwon shinkafa, fura da nunu, suya..you name it, we miss it!
I miss seeing the roadside suya sellers, I don't miss my sister getting food poisoning during the Christmas hols years ago due to a shady suya seller my dad purchased from. Anyways, I miss seeing the women frying masa in those cute masa tins. I miss the smell of roadside akara walking home from the store. The Fulani women selling fura da nunu was interesting too.
Here are pictures of some Northern Nigeria delicacies.
CAUTION:
If you're hungry, look no further :P
