Discrete as in "decent", most likely lost in translation.

I'm not a native English speaker. Decent is really what I mean.

Tons of information! Thank you!

I tried to find out the email-adresses and phone-numbers of some hotels, to negotiate the rate and make a reservation. Until now I only found out that the BV email-address is still existing, since I sent my request today, there is no answer yet. Amanda has a home-page but no working email-address. I found Elkan, but no idea if the email is working, just sent my request.

Do Amanda and Elkan have a pool? BV features one on their website, did you ever use it?

Looks like I will not go hunting during my stay in PHC, because my gf won't let me alone one single minute. But who knows, maybe she must see her mother or one of her many sisters in her village. Also my gf is grabbing too much money, these girls think an white man is an ATM. Currently I getting her down to a much lower subsidary. Without feeding all of her family (LOL).

Cheers!

Sorry not to post earlier. PH is full of hotels for all budgets, I would suggest that as PH nightlife is mainly in the GRA Phase 2 area around Woji Road that you try to stay around there. The Elkan Terrace is fine, walk in price about N30K a night, all the services you really expect from a good hotel. The Bougainvillea (BV) on Sani Abacha road is another good option, cost about N20-N25K a night, restaurant is ok, very popular with ex-pats, and weekends they have a live band and loads of girls to choose from. Round the corner from there in Woji Road is the Focal Hotel, about N15K a day, and further down the Amanda hotel (which I usually use) , again about N15K a pop. There are several others all within spitting distance which, by and large, are all of about the same quality. Ok, for N15K, it ain't The Ritz, but if it's just a room and shower you need then you won't go too far wrong. The places I have mentioned I have stayed in, amongst others, and never have had a problem.

Cheers (on Sani Abacha) is good for food and the straight-after-work-for-a-pint brigade, although it can be slow in the evenings apart from Sunday with a live band – again, no shortage of pussy for sale. The best place for a nibble is the Blue Elephant on King Perekule Street, but it's closed on Mondays.

Safety and Security: PH has had a well earned bad reputation in years recent, however, the situation is not that bad at the moment, however, it is the run up to Christmas and even thieves and other arseholes like to celebrate it with an increase in car theft etc, so always be cautious, but don't get too paranoid. If you don't feel too brave then get the gate security to get you a taxi and have him come into the compound. Argue, sorry, 'negotiate' a price and off you go. All of the places I have mentioned above are all within a 200 to 500 Naira fare, but of course the, sorry, driver, will try his luck!

Once billeted and fed, there are not that many places to choose from that I would feel comfortable going to, the BV on Fri and Sat is virtually compulsory! And on any other night it, or Cheers, is about as good as it gets. The Casablanca on Sani Abacha is probably only a good idea if you go with a crowd of girls! Sounds odd, but it is rather 'local content', not really a pussy-palace although I am sure that when money talks there will be takers, and unless you are used to things Port H then it can seem a bit intimidating. Tip: always greet bouncers and occasionally a bottle of Star can go a long way with the gorillas! I would be inclined to avoid the girls that are on the street, some of them look good for sure, but they are pretty rough and ready and are often there because they cannot gain access to the hotels to hunt. Costs: well, this can be a celebration of economics and weird finances as well, generally ask what 'she would be happy with in the morning', and after you've taken a second mortgage or sold the car, about N8 – 10K should do the trick, plus you'll be buying drinks, cigarettes, dinner blah blah blah and, of course she'll have a friend who wants a glass of wine! Tip: BV wine is utter shite, more like the gents toilets on tap, and at N1500 a glass is a fucking joke! $10 a glass? Behave, I beg-o! So beware PH girls have no shame, no conscience and no limits! Even my regular chick there is a money grabbing little tart, dontcha love her!

ATM's, I actually don't use them here, but there's no reason I am aware of why you should not, however, same as anywhere else try to avoid at night and normal caution.

Your second point 'Where to find a discrete girl? ' You kill me with your humour! My friend, it's Port Harcourt, discretion don't go on there! Your business and who you're fucking will be fairly common knowledge in no time at all, however, nobody really gives a shit. Remember this: the Bush telegraph in PH and Lagos is far more efficient than MTN, Glo and Airtel put together! Everyone know everyone else, and the gossip in the witches coven is something to be admired. However, there are some nice girls around and dead sexy too. Real shame that I ain't there this month. I hope this helps buddy.

Cheers.

Port Harcourt which I invaded last week. Hotels: loads of 'them! Focal Hotel in Woji Road I always used, gone downhill lately but still OK, about N10K a night, girl friendly and the Halloween karaoke bar is a right laugh, plenty of chicks to choose from. The Aldgate Hotel round the corner, all you need from a hotel for about N10K a night, girl friendly. Apart from that, I reckon the best value though is the Amanda Hotel on Woji Road, N13K or thereabouts. Bouganvilla (The Boogie) Hotel is always alive with pussy, weekends is a 'you can't fail here' good night out. Cheers Bar, a bit slow these days after the exodus from Porn Hardcore after the troubles, however, there are usually a few birds hanging around.

I got my visa today. And will be travelling to Lagos in December but also stay in PORT HARCOURT for a week. My GF is from a village 2 hours drive off PHC and while she will attend several family festivities, I'll stay in Port Harcourt.

Unfortunately there are no recent news about Port Harcourt, but I hope there is someone in the forum, who can give some advice.

1st: Where to stay and which rates can I expect? What about safety? I presume all the hotels are girl friendly?

2nd: Where to go at night and find some discrete girl?

3rd: Safety first. What can I do and what to avoid.

4th: ATMs. I used them safely in Lagos, what about PHC?

Have any of you guys used the services of a girl named Nad who offers full service outcall massage? She is based in Lagos, is not Nigerian but is from another west African country. Any feedback will be appreciated.

Mr M, why don't you request for a multiple year visa. For my recent visit, I requested and got a 2 year visa? You can then avoid the nonsense with the NIS. Something to think about.

Hi Carlos. I requested a 1/2 year visa this time. There was also the option of a 1 year visa but on the payment site, only 1/2 year was possible.

Next time I'll go for the 2 year visa. Can you PM me the secrets to get it?

Cheers!

[Carlos3000]

The NIS refused to grant me the visa for my next trip to Nigeria, because the person who issued the invitation for me is not respectable enough. LOL: it was the same person who issued the invitation for my 1st trip. The NIS is really SHIT, they are Nigerian officials and as most Nigerian officials they want to show you their power, they want to show you, that you are inferior to them until you kiss their ass or (better for me) bribe them.

I was obligated to stay at ikoyi. And as you've mentioned all the action takes place across the bridge. There is no action at all around ikoyi. Unfortunately I was not able to get a driver and drive all the way to VI. I hit there couple of times with the folks from the work, so not much fun.

I tried some escort agencies and even they refused to send a mate to ikoyi. Kinda dissappointing.

Anyway,

Once again, noted, start point is quite important. Next time I will definitely get a room around VI. Forget ikoyi.

Thanks for the tips.

Happy hunting.

[Desert Sandman]

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 third mainland bridge undergoing construction. You could sometimes spend half of the day commuting between mainland and VI, as I unfortunately did recently (trip report to follow. Been swamped by work since returning and then this stupid hurricane). Most of your mongering will be in VI and parts of Lekki. Just something to think about.

Armi,

Have you decided to select a hotel on Victoria Island? There is a reasonable selection of hotels to choose from. Anyway do have a great time in Lagos regardless of where you stay.

[Scout123]

Do nigerian girls come to Indian?

The main thing the girls say is that Indian men are stingy. LOL

[Carlos3000]

Armi,

I don't know the Wheatbaker but understand that it is on Ikoyi. I am not aware of any mongering bars on Ikoyi. You will have to cross the bridge to Victoria Island for fun. As the other members have already told you do not think of walking. Get a car and driver and head to Victoria Island and sample the delights in the bars there.

Hello guys,

First of all, I've read the FF and many thanks to all the various contributors here. Thats one of the most valuable sources available in the planet when it comes to mongering.

My plan is to stay in Lagos for 6 nights and my intention is to book The Wheatbaker Hotel. That will be for business purposes for sure. I assume its one of the GF hotels around so I hope no issues with hotel.

I only speak English. In addition I'm a bit wary of going back and forth alone since I'm not sure about the safety and others things. Therefore, I would like to ask if there are any club choices or any other places where the action takes place which is located close to the wheatbaker, preferably in walking distance.

Your response is highly appreciated.

Cheers,

Arman

Thanks a lot for the information my dear friend.

For information see my posting from 13th of September 2012.

One more information: Don't dare to walk around at night time, you never know who or what is behind the next Bush.
