Nigerians Living In The UK Tops The List Of Big Spenders, With An Average Transaction Of £1,648
Woo...if this report is anything to go by then Nigerians in the UK are truly living the dream...you know, like "living on top of the world".

According to a London SOURCE:
Nigeria's oil industry is boosting the pockets of an affluent elite who are increasingly coming to London to spend that cash. In February last year, sales to Nigerians were up 50 per cent in London shops on a year earlier, while overall in 2011 Selfridges says their spending was up by over a quarter and that Nigerians have been among its top 10 overseas shoppers for the past five years.

On their shopping lists: Suits and formalwear but also jewellery, cosmetics and childrenswear.

Labels include Paul Smith, Gucci, Prada, Chanel and Rolex while Vertu phones are a popular purchase. Although they trust established brands, they are also happy to buy across the price spectrum - hence Debenhams started putting signs up in Hausa, the language spoken by 45 million West Africans.

Their top time to shop: all year round - a consistent presence in our stores.

Average transaction in the West End: £1,648
