Nigeria

MadSkillZ,

You were honest and to the point.

Monger22,

Scams (financial, immigration) involving Nigerians are of global concern. I get e-mails asking me for assistance to transfer huge sums of money to my bank account! Hope you won't be the next victim or accomplice. These may be individual acts but your antennae must stay sharp.

Like MadSkillZ advised, the best place to get Visa Info is the US Embassy or Consulate in their country. Visas are given or denied based on information provided by the applicants.

Jamis Plumber, Monger22, et al,

The following is an example of one of those emails that Jamis mentions. I first encountered this scam about 12 years ago while working in Nigeria in those day's they used the postal service. Oddly enough, the letter had been mailed to the cousin of a colleague who was a banker in Germany. The details were slightly different, but the general idea is "I have a huge amount of cash that I stole and I need your help laundering it. All you have to do, is come to Nigeria and set up a company so that I can use you as a conduit for getting the money out of the country." They generally want you to give them bank information as well. Remember, it is a SCAM. If you follow through, the best that will happen is that these scammers will steal money out of your bank account, or worse, if you actually go to Nigeria and set up a company, you'll probably wind up in a Nigerian Jail.

Here's the example (please note, that I seriously doubt that this actually came from Mrs. Abacha):

"Dear Friend,

I am Hajia Mariam Abacha the wife to the former head of state the Fedral Republic of Nigeran Late General Sani Abacha.Following the sudden death of my husband General Sanni Abacha the late former head of state of Nigeria in June 1998, I have been thrown into a state of utter confusion, frustration and hopelessness by the present civilian administration,

Come on Guys!

Nigeria is the Giant of Africa, and from what I can see there are plenty of women, so where are the pics??

I have to say that I am guilty, for I went to Nigeria a 2 times, but each time I really didn't take any pics worth seeing, but regarding the women, particularly in the Delta where I was staying, Daaaaamn!! The girls were pouring into our compound, just to hang out with my friend and I.

Me being African American, and He being a Native born Nigerian, I must say, that we had a complete blast!! I slept with some of te most respectful and exotic women on the face of the earth and trust me, I will be back for more.

It was like clock work, when one would leave, then another would enter, my partner had them lined up and believe me bro, these were top of the line chicks.

Fellas, I just have one request, Please Please Please post some pics,

Bye.

Hi Guys,

I am going to Abuja for a week next month for a friends wedding. What is the mongering modus operandi there and prices per hour and all nighter.

Also mugg free accomodation for me to do the deed, as side from my permanent accomodation (Sheraton) would be really helpful.

But more importantly the street action in different locations as my desired preference. A detailed breakdown would suffcie. I am told the joints are usually more expensive.

Feel free to PM as well

Cheers,

The Sheraton is the place. The Elephant bar after 10 and from midnight it moves to the disco. Sheraton allows the girls back to your room. The girls have to leave id at the security near the lift. Its discreet and no big deal. You will find more girls than you know what to do with. Rate is $20 short time, from $30 to $50 all night. Only problem with Sheradon is no safes in the rooms, so lock valuables in your suitcase as girls have to return to security to collect their id.

If you want to get out take taxi to Grand Mirage after 9. Its outdoor with a bar, barbecue and live music. Disco opens at midnight. Plenty of girls and they will approach you. There will also be girls walking up and down outside here and they are not shy. Rate at GM is usually $30 all night. The girls prefer all nighters as they often live a distance outside town.

If a girl approaches you that you do not want, give her a few Nire and she will go get any girl you point out.

There are a number of other discos in town but a bit intimidating if you are new to Nigeria, ie security carry Kalashnikovs.

Sheraton and Grand Mirage are totally safe (I prefer GM myself).
PM me for anything else.

Thanks Jettlagged,

For your prompt and useful response.

Locals inNigeira say the Sheraton and Hilton Disco's and indeed most disco's are tourists traps. They say the best girls and variety is to cherry pick on the stret seen, like Zone 4 redlight district and it is fr cheaper.

The problem is there are no other areas I am aware of to test the waters, does anyboby have any experience of these other locations.

Thanks

I sent you pm but for benefit of others - Hilton is major tourist trap but it is the best hotel in Abuja (probably in Nigeria). Girls there usually hold out for $100 per night. The Hilton restricts the number of girls getting in.

The Sheraton is ok with more girls than customers so about $30 on average. Sometimes the Sheraton excludes the girls for a few days. Usually if a customer is robbed or something.

The Grand Mirage is almost totally frequented by locals or ex-pats living in Abuja. Its unknown to business people just flying in and out. For me its the best place in town and a must see.

Weasel

P.H. Is the best to go. There are three flights a week from Paris. Much better and safer than Lagos.

Cap'n!

Yes definitely, Port Harcourt is the best place, it is relatively safe and full of girls waiting for you.

Damages would be between 3000 to 5000 niaira depending on circumstances ( Busy night, good looking girl, etc).

Ask also if the girl is a trouble maker to somebody used to the place.
You must also know that in PH, the action moves every night from one bar to another. As far as I remember, best ones would be Cheers on Wednesday and Barracuda on Saturdays.

And you would not believe how many girls are there, may be 150.

I was in le Meridien and there was no problem to bring the girl back to the room. However, earlier I tried the otherbig hotel, president or ambassador hotel (I forgot° and the girls told me that security was asking money to let them go out, as they cannot do it when you bring the girl to your room with you.

I know that a lot of Nigerians and non nigerians are traveling home (i.e. for nigerians) and have been for a while pls post somthing. Where are the pics. Where are the best places to go and what clubs whould you recomend? which cities should one go to? How about places like Warri, Lagos, PH? Which clubs will you recommend?
I know that there are other cities that are nice and safe for guests both in the east and also in the west and in the "south south".
I hear that the university is a good place to go? How do you know who is available and who is not. What are the going prices?

I will appreciate any information on this.

D Life,

I'm not Nigerian, but I did spend a lot of time there between 1988 and 2000. Unfortunately, most of my time was spent offshore, so I only know of a few bars. It's been a few years, so some (or all) of these may no longer be there.

Lagos:

Coco's - not too far from Ikoyi. It's an out-door bar on one of the rivers. There were short time rooms available there and usually had girls hanging around.

Ikoyi Hotel - generally had girls hanging out in the bar or outside, in the garden area.

Warri:

Auntie's Kitchen - I've been told that you can actually get some good food here - I never tried it, stuck to Gulder (beer) and Girls. Auntie's husband is (was?) allegedly from Scotland.

Beachcomber Bar - I've seen food here as well, but again, I stuck with Gulder and Girls. One of the girls once told me there was a shack or something behind the bar to take care of business - I never tried it, always took the girl back to my room.

Port Harcourt:

Years ago, there was a bar called "Uncle Sam's" and I think there were one or two other bars that were stumbling distance - all packed with women. I only went there once and that was about 10 years ago. I rarely had enough time to do any mongering in P.H. I would generally just drink beer at a restaurant near my accomodations - I'm pretty sure the waitresses at most restaurants could be talked into accompanying you back to your room.

D Life,

See my report before yours.

You have the name of the bars, the rates for Port Harcourt.

Any girl in those bars (cheers, Barracuda, will do.

Do not go to Warri, I think it is the worse place to go now, lots of problems with our friends of the communities. Many companies pulled out of Warri.

Thanks in advance,

You will be in for the time of your life. There are so many girls of different shapes and sizes. You will meet so many street walkers. The normal price should be about N4000 naira for all night. $100 is N13000. All you need to do is just ask a taxi from the hotel to take you to where you can pick some girls. He will be glad to do so for you. YOu can hire him per hour. It is about N500/hr. You should not have any problems bringing her back to the hotel. there are several hotels. I stayed at Land mark hotel. It is a little bit pricey. About N8000/night. There are several others that are girl friendly. The normal price for a hotel room should be about N7000-N1000 depending on what you want. There are many that are higher but it really depends on what you want. If you have any more questions PM me.
