For this week’s column, I write about @chishuru , a lovely new West African in Brixton Market. When it reopens it fully deserves our love.

Thinking of this whilst looking at a restaurant that was meant to have 60 people come in yesterday but only 28 showed up.

Some restaurants are understandably twitchy about taking card details but here's a four part story which is illustrative. I never heard from this guy again. Note how his line changes from "what's all this about" to "I was desperately trying to cancel."

@nigeriainvideos The topic needs to be more nuanced. There are tribes in the north and the north east as well that are very marginalised and slowly been pushed out of their ancestral land. A one size fits all solution will not stick.

@fanoniscanon @dj_kere I believe the people of the north of West Africa have similar roots, it can be traced almost all over northern West Africa spanning from Cameroon to The Gambia. A customer came into the resturant last week with stories about the Hausa group in the Sudan.

@Matt_Paice We’ve been getting bombarded recently with calls and visits to the restaurant. One company is especially aggressive willing to pay break fees to transition to them.
