Nigerians accounted for four percent of shopping in the United Kingdom in February, spending an average of 628 pounds per transaction.
The Nigerian share of UK’s spending may on the surface sound insignificant, but it has shot Nigerians ahead of Russians.
The Nigerians according to latest statistics by Global Blue were the third biggest spenders after the Middle East Arabs and Chinese. Russians now occupy the fourth place, though they also account for an average of four percent of UK shopping.
Russian spending in British shops fell by 17 percent last month compared to February 2013, according to tax-free shopping statistics out today. Spending by Nigerians however declined by 8 per cent in the month under review.
Visitors from Russia spent an average £669 ($1,103, 800 euros) per transaction, according to Global Blue, seeing them overtaken in third place by those from Nigeria compared to 12 months ago.
Spending by Russian visitors was up 16 percent for the year in 2013 but fell in February 2014....culled

ReplyDeleteNigerians spends money shopping anytime they travel abroad. We are one of the biggest spenders all over the world , even in Dubai.
ReplyDeleteInsecure Nigerians spending ill gotten wealth abroad, as if that will give them respect. The British are "yimu-ing" us all the way to the bank.
ReplyDeleteNigeria stands out as a sore thumb amongst the other spenders (middle east, China & Russia) because in those other countries they have solid well developed infrastructures, health and social services. China has 152 billionaires, Russia 111 billionaires, even tiny Turkey has 24 billionaires.
When will we learn?
