With so many Nigerians and so many Nigerian goods & foods, people often refer to Peckham in London as a "little Lagos" - so BattaBox went to investigate!
"Peckham is a typical jungle city - enjoy it in typical Lagos style!" says one Nigerian woman.
On the streets of Peckham, Nigerians can buy everything they could find in Lagos - form sponges, meat pies, yams, jollof rice, malt drink, chin chin, moi moi and much, much more!
"You can buy your yam, you can buy your snail, you can buy your pepper soup - everything you want is in Peckham," says another Nigerian woman.
Perhaps the most unexpected item for sale was Agbo Jedi Jedi - a herbal medicine for dysentery, piles, backache, piles and even impotence.
London is a popular destination for many Nigerians travelling and immigrating from Nigeria - but if you miss homes, then head down to Peckham!
"When I am here - I just remember home," says one Nigerian woman.

Now I understand why Nigerians love London lol
Peckham is NOT, NOT, NOT!!!! Little Lagos.
3:10 & 0:35 - She is listing of all those Nigerian foods but look at who is selling it!! Asian store owners with only black customers!
1:14 - "There's everything you want here", not provided by other Nigerians.
4:11 - All that hair they will buy will not be from black people.
4:29 - The store on the right is called 'Khan's', what Nigerian is called Khan?
All black people own are hairdressers, barbers and a few restaurants, none of the essential things we need.
Blacks can't go to Chinatown and selling them noodles, can't go to Tooting and sell Indians curry, but ANYONE can come to Peckham, Brixton, Tottenham and sell us Chicken, Yam and Fufu.
The worse thing is, we are not even embarrassed by this! This video is attempting to show this as a success but it's really showing our failures as blacks in London.
This leads to bigger problems, because black men do not focus on putting themselves in positions where they can provide economic opportunities for their children, these areas (Peckham, Brixton, Tottenham) are also notorious for crime by young black men!
Actually I was just wondering, are those shops owned by asian or nigerian people ? Thanks, you answered my question ! In France all the shops selling african stuff are owned by asian people... That's very sad....!
Laitalafraise Yes, the same in France, the US, all over the African diaspora.
Sad
That's not strictly true. There are lot of food, non-food stores, restaurants etc. owned by Nigerians. I live a mile away from the place so this is a first hand account. Stop spouting rubbish.
how far bigaladji10 ? there are plenty of Nigerian business and successes in London o... but yes, we need to make our own meatpies... :-D
Isn't it strange how the Nija snacks/ food is being served by Asians... They've cashed in on our hair products, now it's food. Why don't we run our own business. I'm asking this innocently
I was about to say the same thing, but you beat me to it. Asians don't miss a trick when it comes to making that paper. The question is, will black folks honestly continue over a period of time to support black owned businesses OR continue to line the pockets of these Asians who own several businesses??
Hey +boomnie some of them have owned those stores for a long time, before we arrived... but in other parts of London Nigerians run their own businesses - check out some of our other videos from Mary, our UK presenter👏👏
+Marie Kashlin it's true we need to financially support each other 👏👏👏
nope don't ask it innocently my sister, ask it with the same ferocity that the asians have used to get into our markets and sell it to us and then disrespect us afterwards.
+Glover dragon could part of the problem be that some Nigerian sellers guilty of over pricing and Nigerian customers known for taking advantage, aggressive haggling or wanting to buy on credit. I witnessed all this helping my uncle run his food store. I think was one of the main reason it was unsuccessful.
I love Nigerian food! As an American I can attest to how underrated the African cuisine is in America especially in Texas!
Do something about this ......th-cam.com/video/zNVHinrah7w/w-d-xo.html
Awesome!! Next stop- PECKHAM!!
LOL ABI O !! Oby Nwaogbe
I d'ont like the way Peckham turned out to be !!
Wow, I am looking and seeing the people selling African food looks nothing like Nigerian. Seriously? They will never eat from you but you eating from them eah?? Wow
Nigerians are so busy with trying to impress the people back in their native country that they are neglectful of everything else, it's sad though but it's the reality of the situation.
it is the middle eastern asians and black americans
Black To Grace you should watch how u talk. Im asian, and i embrace all cultures i am around. Majority of my friends are black and I eat at their homes, restaurants & they eat at mine. So fuck you with your small mind thinking
amarachiable read my comment u small minded pea brain idiot. If you actually stopped fucking feeling so sorry for yourselves & feeling like the world is against you maybe you would get somewhere
This video always gives us good memories because i saw my auntie and we both laugh when watching
God gave us our own beauty. Stop buying other women's discarded hair and attaching it to our heads! This wastes our money and diminishes our self worth.
Nice, maybe I will consider visiting London for this area!
Peckham is NOT called "Little Lagos" there are Ghanaian's, Nigerian's from all Tribes, South Africans, Sierra leoneans, Cameroonians, you name it and it's the Pakistani's who are selling African food, Yoruba's of Nigeria like changing the name of a place to suit them.
The one thing that stands out to me the most is the fact that it look"s to me that Arabs are showing us how to eat like consumers, Nigerian? We must stop that trend Mother Africa. And for the daughters leave the fake hair along you are Naturally Beautiful
Good job Rona!!!! I am sure eager to visit when i am in the UK.. Long time as well, not sure if you remember me from Ilori days? My regards to your brothers!
I love this! I wanna visit Peckham so bad!
omg!!! i am totally impressed....
I love malt drinks far more than beers and i'm white and my friend who is from Nigeria was very surprised and he was laughing when i opened my Supermalt can when we were driving home from work :D
I like this little video. Scrolling down to the comments though is just mindless. The traditional food looks awesome, they're proud of it. Food is life.
I miss Oyebola chin chin. I discovered that at Brixton market this past April. 😢😢
+utchgirl Oyebola is still here you cant miss it facebook.com/OyebolaTF
what an eye-opener...
planning my trip down from glasgow already.
will make a dayof it..
Laddie bring a strally
Peckham, also known as the Hood in London.
ざますZamasu There is no hood in London lol, they have certain street looks instead of just having gangsters
@@omzldn6472 ure not from london dont talk about things you dont know
Wet Don I kinda regret posting that comment 6 months ago but I meant it as in the ghettos here are not really that bad compared the actual hoods in countries like the USA. Btw you’re wrong bro cause I acc currently live in South East London
@@omzldn6472 just because you live in south east doesnt mean anything. you could easily live in the richest area and have no other experience which im guessing is the case because of your channel
@@wetdon591 I live in lewisham south east London and intelligence is very low in this area
Now I must visit Peckham!
abi o Queen Derra flash us when you come and we go chop jollof rice together!
Ah, my hometown
I miss Peckham so much!! 😩😩
Love London!
+Ajibike Adeyemo we hope you love BattaBox as well o 😝😝😝
Today, as you go out, you shall be blessed. You shall return with great fortunes. Your coming in shall be fulfilling. Morning will work for your good. orphanage motherless home children's support this orphanage the Lord will bless you with all your need??
I love this, we also have a place like this Called Parliament Street in the City of Port Elizabeth ,South Africa . You can actually get all your Nigerian things there.
oh wow @Segun we should head down there and do a BattaBox story sharp sharp 😝😝
sorry, should you write English subs? ^_^
well im white from Nottingham work in London all the time I would love the chance to go out with a Nigerian woman as long as they are a good person we are all ppl we are made of the same stuff I don't get the racist shit like if you aren't racist
im good looking and only 34 lolz
Ashley Hunt
I am her boyfriend.
you stay away from her white boy or I hack you down Nigeria style!
Lol the woman at 1:25 is my aunty!! XD
Oh ok cool
22kitkatstreet Your aunty is extremely tantalising
It’s not known as little Lagos Lagos Uk is a diverse country with different cultures so they can sell their food
As an American, would it be easy to just find these places and dine in? Food looks amazing.
Well these comments are slightly depressing .lol
i know right?!
jeez!..lol
But truthful
HI SIS REALLY LIKE UR VIDEOS ABOUT NIGERIANS IN THE UK
Thanks o +olakunle olanrewaju we hope you have subscribed to our channel for more exciting videos everyday. Keep watching.
Very nice 😂😂😂
I love these breakdowns of areas! its so interesting, I'vee lived in peckham 5 years and I got more information about how culturally significant peckham is to Africans than I have in my 5 years!
That's awesome. Thanks for watching. And don't forget to click Subscribe to BattaBox TH-cam channel ooo
If it wasn't for 🇯🇲's peckham wouldn't have been a place for Africans to settle
For real, as a student whenever I went to London, I tried my best to stop at Peckham for groceries especially fresh fish, fried fish, plantain and nice hot moi-moi! And the smells are just like your local market at Mile 12 or Balogun. In fact, after one afternoon there you can pretty much say you went back to Naija for the day. lol
Cool .naija in london.peckham .noted.
I have noticed that most mini grocery shops that sell food stuffs catering to cuisine from parts of Nigeria, Ghana & The Caribbean are for the most part owned by people of South East Asian descent and not as one would expect by people of Anglophone West African & Caribbean descent.
These days even larger retailers eg Tesco, found in particular neighbourhoods are cashing in stocking some of these food products at your expense.
The irony is that these same South East Asian owned mini grocery stores. Have the particular food products supplied by suppliers from the mentioned African & Caribbean nations
It's not only in London but other major urban centers of the U.K. within neighbourhoods that tend to be popular with Anglophone West Africans & even Anglophone Caribbeans.
You got to start taking business ownership of what caters to your particular unique interests.
An example amongst the U.K Chinese, Jewish, Polish, Indian, Pakistani communities. Are the one's who own and run businesses that specifically cater to some of their unique cuisine needs. And members from these communities patronise those businesses, no matter how small the business may be.
Wow!!! I won't mind a Peckham in Canada especially where I stay...chai see dundun...
lol Eri ojeikere you can make your own now... just start selling meatpie :-D
Kurt Rustle : the natives are aboriginal canadians. IT WILL NEVER BE A WHITE NATION AS LONG AS THE SUN RISES.
It's just funny how ignorant people on this trend who can't even stand up to talk physically come up here n act rude. So what if we Nigerians crave our food?
+Kurt Rustle Can't Are you drunk? Non whites make up a majority in Toronto and Vancouver aka Hongcouver and aboriginals are a majority in the Northern Territory's . Toronto is the most diverse city in the world Plus whites are new comers its originally Native land get your drunk ass outta here.
Today, as you go out, you shall be blessed. You shall return with great fortunes. Your coming in shall be fulfilling. Morning will work for your good. orphanage motherless home children's support this orphanage the Lord will bless you with all your need??
1. This video re-emphasizes (howbeit unintentionally) our collective failure as Black People:
sheer inability to even understand what TRUE COMMUNITY and FRATERNITY means.
2. We are too easily pleased, and have no long term GENERATIONAL VISION.
3. This is also why Western and Arab colonialism battered us the way it did. A people who love to see others succeed more than themselves. As long as it's not their own Black Brothers and Sisters, no problem.
4. Meanwhile our families are broken, our communities mere colour-spice imagination, our children and youths are lost.
No wonder same Peckham area is notorious for violence.
Unfortunately the younger generation like the three Sistas in the video can't even see it with their two eyes opened.
We need RE-EDUCATION. Badly taught we have been.
You are talking about white ppl.obviously white communities have been pushed out and don't even have a place
Lol, so funny. The woman who said puffpuff reminds her of home and the guy who saw Obalende suya but decides to go to KFC (Kongi fried chicken)
Lol debayous all na for chop o
A los Españoles les gusta este Londres .
Where is this shop please? I'd like to try some nigerian food!
I live in peckham
Some excellent comments here. WAIT FOR THE PUNCHLINE BELOW !!! :)
I was born and raised in a 95% White/British area 2 miles from Peckham and in 1965 when a Black Guy was seen walking along my High Street he was, literally, pointed out and commented on but as African Culture came in then, by definition, the local indigenous White Culture became diluted and, virtually, disappeared altogether. NOW in 2018 Gentrification is taking over many parts of Peckham and 100 other Inner London Areas and the Whites are,thus, returning and NOW it is African people who are complaining that THEIR Culture is being diluted etc.
If you live long enough things go in a cycle..lol
As a black African I could never step foot in Peckham to rough for me
oh yeah? found out you're better than them in Peckham?
We are africans. Who will attack you?
Please tell my uncle to come home. He has been there for 50years. He had all his children there and the first child is about. 35years old. He has 6girls 1boy. And none. Of the girls are
Married. .tell them to come home
+christabeler aku maybe get uncle and his daughters to watch BattaBox they might see one of our fine boys and run home :)
His suffering where he is. Maybe he don't have money for ticket lol.
Do Nigerians like London weather?
Gothic wiccan! Little lagos Peckham abi? Lool
Houston, TX is like this..
👍🏿
Have you been to Peckham? Do you think Nigerians should be looking for Moi Moi and Agbo Jedi Jedi in London?
I am sooooo hungry right now !....llololololol....Nigeria come to Montreal, Quebec, Canada and open some restaurants please.We do not have enough African restaurants in my town:'((
no
Problem with these diverse areas of London is there's no direct tube station to them, and even when there is it's in zone 3 or over meaning tourists just aren't going to pay extra to enter a tube zone above their day ticket limit to risk being disappointed. I have visited Brixton because it's right on a station and only just in the border zone 2, but if I wanted to explore further it's going to damage my funds and I have no guarantee I will enjoy it. It's just not made tourist friendly. Make it easier and more will turn up simple as that. I visited a mosque in Wembley that was easy enough but it has accessible transport links and the people were very affable so no issues. I can experience Nigerian, African and Caribbean culture this bank holiday at Nottinghill that is easier for me. Selling Peckham will be difficult no matter who lives there black white asian brown.......
Transport wise Peckham is hopeless and always was. I lived there before most of you were born. Yes, even when they had trams running from Peckham Rye to Blackfriers and Westminster.
lol!
You should come to Moston in Manchester then.
wetin' be in Moston Layemii ? u get hair extension and meatpie?
***** lol Even more. I mean you could be on the street and you'll hear things like "iya Bola, nigbawo ni kin wa" I'd say the population of yoruba there is something else. Even the Asians understand it.
Layemii I live right next to Moston. Moston Lane is dominated by Nigerians, though the rest of Moston is overwhelmingly white.
Today, as you go out, you shall be blessed. You shall return with great fortunes. Your coming in shall be fulfilling. Morning will work for your good. orphanage motherless home children's support this orphanage the Lord will bless you with all your need??
London Naija people dey enjoy..
What shop is that at the start?
Nigerians in London are enjoying Nigerian food o
there's little Nigeria in the whole world...those people don't prefer staying in their country...and always mess up other countries.
Same thing could be said for the whites and Asians living in Africa. So STFU
You are a village man...
Love my🇳🇬
Did I just Indians selling African food.in Peckham??
Yeah Nigerians hired them. LOL
I Wish we had something like this Germany.
+Ajibike Adeyemo where do u get your stock fish and yam from in Germany?
It's Peckham not little Lagos I was born in Peckham I hate the way it as turned out and I hate the way she's talking about it like it belongs to her makes me sick
+Winx Believe - We created medicine, you created one dance move. White people are the biggest influencers in the world. The top scientists, medics, entrepreneurs, physicians an mostly white. If it wasn't for advancing medicine and technology, you would probably be dead. So you should be thanking white people.
This is Yoruba market in London niceone
hmmm Im surprised by the fact the many if not most shops are owned by non-africans. Here in switzerland if you go to african shops they are also owned by africans same goes for arabs, kurds, (south)asians
I WAS SURPRISED TO SEE ASIANS SELLING IN THAT SHOP BEEN THERE SEVERAL TIMES BUT I THINK IT IS NIGERIAN OWNED AS FOOD IS PREPARED BY NIGERIANS
Yo i'm moving to peckham
@@gstarpittbull9506 lmao
Leave aside the people group selling the food for the min, as long as they have good
customer service , plus if they sell the food now and help it get popular, they will help promote the food to all people groups so eventually Nigerians food will get popular enough for her people to be in the position to sell their food too, however if you get bad customer service regardless where you shop don't go back there, shop owners need to learn to respect their customers support which is what they do when they come to buy your goods, nice day, siJb
The girl at 3.48 looked like cousin it. Most horrible weave. That was just crazy
lol mmeischa1 we hope you're not throwing stones in a glass house ooo - we know how us Naija babes like our wigs & weaves!!
Known as pecknarm
Just £4 to cure impotence 😂😂.
Lol
I wonder if Del Boy would agree....
....(google 'Only Fools and Horses')
Abeg who is Del boy +Jonathan Churchill
its an 80s comedy. he lived in nelson mandella place peckham
It was filmed on South acton estate in west London if you don't know about Acton look it up it to is a shit hole
Looks to me like Peckham is in serious need of diversity. All I can see is black people.
Tweet Protocol. No race or culture is going to live with Nigeriams. Maybe filipinos, thats about it.
You must be white to make that comment 🙄
There's a 9ja owned take away 100 yds from the Asian place, they also sell the same, plus the best suya in London, in yet the presenter chose not to support her own & promote the Asians as if they needed more support.
Black ppl... When will we learn? How many Asian ppl do u c queuing up to buy from us??
Those are arabs making the puffpuff and meat pie lol
Yes na Paul Adetunji maybe they are now Naija Arabs.
feyi ur insecure
No Naija are only africans no arabs.
ok uhhhh this was one of the craziest and saddest videos.
1:00 the lady said you can get FANTA COKE. Not sure what she's talking about but Fanta is an American company that sells a wide variety of sodas.🍹
3:58 these girls are talking about buying weave, hair and cheap makeup as if they were proud of this.💈💇🏿♂️💇🏿♀️
3:00 the guy who went to KFC? How come not a Nandos?🍗🐓
Yellowwood stfu hater
I dey steadily patronize Peckham, Funny thing is that I used to call the place ''little Lagos'' long before now. Biko you failed to mention CHEAP HAIRCUTS for guys. For as little as 7 pounds you can that done with the normal wizkid-David banter or Chelsea-Man U argument in the background....just like in Nigeria.lol
lol David Fadiora we will go back and film the cheap haircuts! where u dey go?
The writer appeared to predict that PDP would win the 2015 elections well he was very very wrong. So much for the expert!
Peckham is mulyi cultural
I love Peckham, along with Brixton, Camberwell and Dalston. It's almost like visiting Africa or the Caribbean with only a travelcard (apart from the weather). Walking along Queens Rd, you can be the only white person for 200yds - feels a little weird but OK.
Some of the comments on here are downright disgusting. It's a small part of South London for goodness sake.
hehe @390h8er we call you "Oyinbo Pepper" in Nigeria 😝😝 and we love all those places! say hi if you ever see us filming!
Although the shop people at the till are Asian the chefs are nigerian
👍🏿
IT WAS NEVER CALLED LITTLE WEST INDIES BY THE CARIBBEAN COMMUNITY WHO WERE LIVING AND BORN THERE IN THE 50s,60s and 70s. 90% of the of the original black Community that was in Peckham moved on by the mid 1980s. The streets look very dirty now, and rundown.
Thank you for your input
Loool peckam is not “little lagos” peckam is not just about nigeria its about other countries in africa aswell so dont put false labels
I just can't stand the fact that so many people other than Nigerians are actually selling and cooking the food, MAMA back home didn't used to have someone asian next to her when cooking, she was a pro cook. she even spoke yoruba language a different type that i didn't even know, all i'm saying is that it won't have that same feel to buying and eating. also the conversation between mallam and customer the banter is just different,
how can we speak broken language to someone who can't even cook the food properly.
lol I noticed that to when I went to Peckham all the shops were owned by asians.But I guess if you are so bothered you should start a shop yourself.
In the 2000's there weren't so many Africans. This is del boy country
👍🏿
It's sad to see all this food being imported, it's better for the environment, the economy, and Britain overall to eat British produce, importing dried spices etc is acceptable but this is ridiculous, imported chicken! SMH, our Government needs to sort this out where any business selling foreign produce must carry at least 75% British stock
No one likes dry British food with no spice or seasoning. Keep crying.
I come to london london is so beautiful country
Don't go to Peckham though
@@gstarpittbull9506 Peckham is the perfect place for an early funeral
Why they make man feel like man will get stabbed goin peckham??
Never been to Peckham, so I don’t really know
Erm why are all the shops selling african stuff are Asian owners?
Na so we see am.
Hmm??
Kwaku Nyame, you Ghanaians are always jealous of Nigerians,why hating ?
U wanna see how kenyans have wrecked NAIROBI.
Enjoy the meals wherever but don't go to shops where the shop keepers have no customer service and are rude e.g drop cash in your hands or throw the change at you or give you dirty looks,regardless of their race if you do you are supporting abusive behaviour, just a thought, siJb
So true.
battabox I havent gotten a reply from the email i sent ooo
Hey Olori Aduke sorry about that. could you please resend the mail to contact@battabox.com
Thanks o.
They looking for a Moi moi "Chief" 3:31
Today is kfc day 🤣
Nigerian diaspora come back
Peckham's a nightmare now, I've been unfortunate enough to go there. It's not England, the English have all left. It's a terrible thing to feel like an alien in your own native land, and that goes for anybody of any race.
We need to take our countries back!
thefinalpurification The English have all left? Most of the people in this video will have British passports.
What you meant to say was "the white people have all left". Which isn't true either. In 2011, there were 55,165 households identified as white British, with only 29,142 identified as black.
I live in Peckham. We don't want racists like you here.
The black south Africans are trying Bro. I know your pain
The British Commonwealth.... Google it.
thefinalpurification the whites shouldn’t have left then
SOMALIA TAKE OVER NAOROBI.
looks like cyprus,thousands of africans come every year to get political asylum.minimum wage is 840 euros but you can get asylo and 1200 euros every month,you could also have 400euros for renting and more money when you have a baby which is usually the case.Africans in cyprus say to their friends in africa,it is paradise. ;) why stay or go to london?
Thank you for your input
this is sickening to watch! my 1st thought was who is the owner of the grocery store? thought it was nice to Nigerians capitalizing off the migration only to be disappointed with seeing the crumb snatching culture vultures. smh
Hello sister. Any single Nigerian female now? I'm looking.
Are you still searching?
@@BattaBox : Are you asking me?
0:37 so many things wrong with that! If you have dysentery GO TO THE HOSPITAL! Immediately! If you have haemorrhoids change your diet and get a over the counter cream, and for your information sweetheart i know lots and lots of important people some on the TV some in the media and news and some from history however if they are having issues getting sexually aroused:-
1. that's none of your business you are a women not a man
2. how could you possibly know if another male was having arousal problems?
3. It's not important it's impotence! stroll on woman, stroll on!
3:31 classic Nigerian style, chief wanted! Too many letters spoil the dictionary!
Most African don't want to be sterilized by white Dr. So better for them to drink this herbs. I don't blame them. Do you know what's inside Viagra? Don't blame the Nigerians. That's why they're very strong 💪 💪. Infact stronger 😂😂
disgusting, how come we got to this point in his country
No English around
all British now mate Africans the new Londoners
All British have fled to Essex.
