Nigeria

Money matters:

Bring Visa or Mastercard. AMEX will not be accepted.

Money withdrawal from ATMs is easy but you will get only the official bank exchange rate which is "quite bad" - better bring cash (USD or EUR) and exchange.

It either in on the "black market" or e. G. In the Four Points. Just an example:

1 EUR via ATM - 331 NGN, via Four Points - 384 NGN and via black market - 410 NGN.

Many times even my Master and Visa Card didn't work ("transaction declined") . So better bring enough cash to exchange.

Uber:

It works and it is safe, the drivers were friendly and polite and drove decently.

However, there are sometimes not so many cars available. Especially at late night when you maybe want to head back from a club to your hotel with.

Your "catch of the night". Regular taxis are then the only choice but you will need to negotiate very hard to get them even close to the Uber price.

Four Points at Sheraton / Victoria Island:

Girl friendly!

Extensive security checks on entering.

Every day there are a some WG in the lobby or in the hotel bar (1 to 5 girls. But only 4's-6's).

Hard Rock Cafe:

Close to Landmark Center in a little bit deserted area close to the sea. Next to it is another restaurant / longe called Shiru.

Nice terrace and even a small beach.

Went there once but couldn't spot any WG there. It is more a place where the Nigerian middle and high class goes for making party.

Shades:

Bar / Lounge close to the Radisson Hotel. But in a dark side street.

Star beer is only 700 NGN.

Lots of WG. Lots of stunners (9's to 10's).

Wechat and Tinder:

I can recommend Tinder. Lots of girls, lots of matches. And many girls already make it clear in their description that the why only look for hook ups.

Wechat was OK, but less selection.

Prices:

I was quoted from 20.000 NGN for short time to 200 USD ( 65.000 NGN) for long time. Anyway, I always stayed my grounds and offered 15.000 NGN for long.

Time and was always successful. Maybe 15.000 NGN is still too much. But I had a good time with the ladies and I din't regret it afterwards.

Security situation:

You hear a lot of stories about kidnappings and problems for white people. But I was feeling comfortable. Well, I didn't walk around at night but.

Always went by Uber. But this was always ok. During the day I was walking around even in the CBD on Lagos Island. I felt like I was the.

Only white amongst millions of black people. But still I was feeling comfortable and I was not hassled at all.

This was my brief feedback from my stay in Lagos in May 2017.

Cheers & happy mongering.

Based upon your report I started to use WeChat. Lots of contact from local girls as soon as I uploaded a photo and I hooked up with a young teacher from Ghana and had a great evening with her. So thanks for the tip.

Hi all, I have never used WeChat. Can anyone explain in more detail how to use WeChat to find women looking for 'work'?

Has anyone used Tinder to find providers? I read an article that said that this is common in Nigeria.

Thanks!

I found this newspaper report about the low end of the pay for play market in Lagos. Makes depressing reading and shows the benefits of always being covered up!

I feel you but none of us are going to these places. There will be low end product in any trade or market. We here at ISG aren't vouching for these low standards or unsafe practices.

Thanks for the information buddy. The other issue is I don't know the budget hotels or short time hotels in VI / Ikeja. I do frequent night clubs but don't know where to go after that so have to return high and dry since am with the official driver. Will try uber for sure. Is uber safe never tried in Lagos. Have come across only outcall girls. Would prefer incall so that can be discreet. Any suggestions.

Sorry to ask so many things as am still learning Lagos and certainly want to catch the fun part of it and enjoy the hots of Lagos.

Have you considered renting a room for the night above one of the bars that the girls go to? Both Churchill's in Lekki Phase 1 and Long Bar in VI have rooms above the bar that are available to rent. I do not think that you can rent short time (couple of hours), but you may be able to rent for one night if they have a room available. Then it is easy, just take a girl from the bar up to your room. Afterwards return the girl back to the bar and look for another girl. The Step Inn used to have rooms above it but I do not know if they still do, and not many girls seem to frequent there now.

As Traveler04 mentioned, Uber is safe, economic and hassle free. The cars are clean, have AC and you won't need to worry about haggling prices. Uber should be your bread and butter for transportation.

As per short time hotels in Ikeja and VI, this is one I can't help too much on. Usually I ask the girls if they know any spots for ST. Usually it maybe a friends flat or room in a flat, often times not the most comfortable. I'm a Nigerian so the level of comfort doesn't really bother me too much. 8/10 times I usually bring them back to my place.

I caveat following them to their place because you want to ensure you have control over the situation. You also don't want to go to places you don't know.

My best advice is to plan ahead for a night of hobbying, if you have that kind of freedom. Look for a relatively cheap hotel room in some of the hotspots in VI and Ikeja. Book the place for a Friday night and use that as your base for the night. You can see multiple ladies that night if you wish and by Saturday morning you head back to your actual apartment. That'd be my best plan of action for your situation.

My last advice is what I did in Port Harcourt which is not as safe as Lagos so I didn't want to follow the girls to their incall locations. I got a relatively cheap room not too far from the clubs. Went to a beer garden close by, got a lady had ST at the room then sent her off. Did that 3 times over the course of the night then I left.

Gottta have the stamina I should say.

Direct more questions my way.

I used Uber to get from the Radisson Blue Hotel to the Domestic Airport in Lagos and got picked up on time and in a BMW. The cost was a fraction of the cost to go by taxi. I have friends that use Uber all the time in Lagos and love it. Good luck.

Ok cool, as an Asian I'd say work out of clubs mostly until you get comfortable moving around by yourself. Right now the Christmas period will see a huge influx of providers but prices will also rise. It's a bit of an anomaly.

I'd say use Uber. The service works very well in Lagos and is hassle free. Don't take the company drivers just for discretion.

Also, find out where the expatriates go to hangout. Beer gardens, restaurants, lounges, etc. Usually you can find female semi-pros. Let me know what other questions you have and I'd be sure to direct you as best I can.

Thanks dear Mozam.

I am an Asian and is still new to Lagos night life hence some tips would become handy.

Are taxi services reliable as we are not allowed to drive and taking official drivers becomes embarrassing.

Some info would certainly help.

Cheers.

My man, read the forum and you'll get an idea. Frankly, it also helps to know if you're white or black and your level of comfort in moving around. But generally, I say work out of clubs, it's a good selection, good vale and safe environment.

Hi seniors,

If any one know of cheap and safe hotels to have a good time please advise.

Also let know the best places to get diamonds. Lagos is a great place but don't know where to go for hotties.

Anyone please advise.

Cheers.

Thanks for the informations.

Now I know a bit more about the trip.

I will stay in Lagos one night, then travel 200 km outside to visit a company.

My main concern right now is how to make a phone call??

My provider told me the coverage from his partner is poor.

Any information if its possible where to buy a prepaid phone card for WiFi access?

Thanks a lot.

Peek.

Peek, sim cards are relatively easy to get. You simply buy one on the side of the road and register it (essentially ID yourself to that number, picture, paperwork and a fingerprint). It's a straight forward process but can be time consuming. One thing you'll notice in Nigeria is that it takes time to settle in. Running errands, while straight forward, takes a lot of coordination. You'll have to plan well, but once you're up and running, you're good to go.

[Po Pimp]

I do not know the answer to your question but maybe one of the other board members can help you. The days of being able to buy a new sim card at the side of the road in Nigeria ended a few years ago. Nowadays network providers require that you register and have your finger prints recorded in order to get a new sim card. The only other option that I know of would be to buy an already registered sim card from somebody here. As I said, maybe another board member knows more.

Last month I went to an Etisalat and bought a SIM. Yes, I had to do the registration thing but they didn't go so far as take fingerprints. Others have told me they had to submit biometrics (fingerprints). Don't know why I didn't have to, maybe their fingerprint scanner was broken or something.
