Way to go!

When you get it done give us know how you did it.

I'm definitely interested. Too much visa hassle.

Nigeria now has visa on arrival for certain countries.

Check if your country of residency is one.

Nice report DV.

As already mentioned earlier, Taxify is a pretty good alternative to Uber at a fraction of the price.

For bars, Troys has a great selection of 9 & 10's.

There's also pretty...

Mozam man,

Kudos on the great information. Very useful info. Should be in Lagos in February.

PM me for contact info on a very reliable driver. Myself and some expats use him.

Glad to answer your questions by PM. Will be in Nigeria next week.

This post, especially #2, should be required reading for any monger contemplating a longer term relationship with an African woman. If you are new to the continent please leave Nigeria alone. Happy...

Armi,

Unless you absolutely have to stay in Ikoyi, I would suggest you book accommodations in Victoria Island. It is a royal pain going from Ikoyi to VI most of the time, and now more so with...

Lagos is not safe especially for westerners. It is one of the most dangerous cities in the world. It is very easy to be kinapped, robbed and killed. Please do not underestimate the danger in Lagos.

Mr M, why don't you have the friend you are visiting get a Nigerian passport and then invite you. With the right amount of money, a Nigerian passport can be gotten in two weeks. Something to think...

I would suggest carrying a combination of cash (USD or Euros are fine) and credit card. There are ATMs all over and there might be one in your hotel. ATMs mostly dispense Niara. There might be ones...

Mr M,

I would not recommend taking a taxi from the Airport; too many scams and the possibility of kinnapping. Ask the hotel to send a car for you. A lot safer and could be cheaper. Use cash,...
