Nigeria's comedian and event compere, Wale Gates, has described Nigerians as the biggest spenders in the world especially at Heathrow airport.

He stated that Nigerians do not buy what they need in a shop or wherever it is sold until they get to the airport before they start buying whatever they want and spend their money unnecessarily.

Wale explained that though he is not an intelligent fellow, in order for him not to pay duty charges, he simply buys chocolates and table water while he goes to the free section of the perfumes to test all what they have and hops into his flight.

Nigerians are the world's biggest spenders at Heathrow airport. I never see the fascination with duty free shopping its hardly cheaper.

In his words;

If you really want or needed that Rolex watch or expensive bag surely you wld have bought it b4 you got to the airport. Waste of money.....

Na una Nigerians dey shop pass for Heathrow, na una dey buy PJ & Range Rover like pure water but dey pay pesin N3k, N5k salary a month.

I'm not an intelligent person so I use this simple logic for Duty-Free Shopping...."the item can't be cheaper because the shop rent isn't cheap"

The only things I buy at Duty-Free sometimes are chocolates & bottled water. But I go to the perfume section & use ALL their free samples

After spraying 15 testers on myself I get on the plane smelling like roasted corn dipped in bleach & methylated spirit.
