For some it served as the perfect venue for a date. If you wanted to impress a girl in the late 90s and early 2000s in Nigeria, Mr Biggs was your spot.

Mr. Biggs and Sweet Sensation would always be a point of reference for every first date. I remember when I was young and foolish. I had my first date at Mr. Biggs, Ogba.

I bought her 2 meat-pies, 1 scotch egg and a bottle of coke, then bought only water for myself.

For some Mr Biggs served as motivation. Most Nigerians, especially millennials can certainly relate to this fact. If you were born sometime around 1991 to the year 2000, you may be familiar with the bribery tactic that our parents employed to get us to do stuffs, holding us to ransom over a promise of a treat from the ever elusive Mr Biggs.

This was the driving force behind the motivation that propelled a lot kids back then to put in the work and make our parents happy, be it at home or in school. The mission was always simple; do whatever it takes to secure a tasty treat from Mr Biggs.

I have never said this but Mr Biggs meat pie motivated me to come first in my class several times.
