These Houston Nigerian Chefs Are Bringing West African Food to Your Home | Eater Houston
"I learned that Safari, opened in the early 1980s by Ukegbu’s mother (a Nigerian native and Texas Southern University graduate), was Houston’s first Nigerian restaurant at a time when many in the community weren’t receptive to Nigerian culture; Ukegbu remembers her mother cooking spice- and seasoning-laden foods that often left a smell on her clothes and teachers even stowing away her mother’s rice and stew on International Day because they didn’t know what it was." - Brittany Britto Garley
