Nigerian Independence 3 Course Meal A Glass of Bubbly Supper Club-West Norwood

Let's celebrate Nigeria's 65th Independence Day where food is not just about eating — it’s about community, celebration, and heritage. Join us for a delicious meal making food central to social and cultural life.

Nigeria at Independence: A Legacy of Resilience
Nigeria, the giant of Africa, carries a history defined by struggle, resilience, and triumph. At its heart lies Independence Day, celebrated every October 1st — the moment the nation broke free from British colonial rule and embraced self-determination.

The Road to Freedom
Before colonialism, Nigeria was a tapestry of kingdoms and cultures with rich traditions of governance. The British gradually imposed control, but by the mid-20th century, inspired by global decolonization, Nigerian leaders like Nnamdi Azikiwe, Obafemi Awolowo, and Ahmadu Bello spearheaded the demand for self-rule. Their vision culminated on October 1, 1960, when the Union Jack was lowered and the Green-White-Green flag rose — a new dawn for Africa’s most populous nation.

A Day of Unity and Pride
Each year, Independence Day rekindles that spirit of freedom. Parades, cultural displays, music, and reflection transform Nigeria into a living canvas of patriotism and diversity. It is a day not only to celebrate sovereignty but also to reaffirm the nation’s collective strength and future aspirations.

Egusi or efo Stew with Amala or pounded yam with beef, fish or chicken

Egusi is one of Nigeria’s most popular and beloved soups, Ground egusi (melon) seeds, Palm oil, Blended peppers, tomatoes, and onions (for the base)
Efo is a rich, flavourful Yoruba-style vegetable stew often cooked with spinach in the UK

Amala is a staple food in Yoruba cuisine and one of Nigeria’s most popular “swallows."
It’s a dark brown smooth, stretchy dough made from yam flour (elubo), cassava flour, or unripe plantain flour, and it’s called a “swallow” because you typically swallow it with soup rather than chew it much.
Pounded Yam is one of Nigeria’s most iconic staples and a favourite “swallow” across many regions.
Made from yam flour or boiled yam that is pounded or mashed until it becomes smooth, stretchy, and dough-like. Known for its soft, elastic texture, which makes it perfect for scooping up soups.
