Has anyone been to Nigeria recently? Looking for the latest intel.
Specifically interested in:
- Current price ranges
- Best areas right now
- Any safety concerns to be aware of
- Apps or platforms to use
I was there last year and had a decent time. Wondering if things have changed.
Keen to hear from anyone who has been recently.
Cheers

Adding my experience: scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more online activity.

Good info. Going during the week is much better — less crowded and better prices.

Also recommend downloading Maps.me before you go. Essential.

Did you use dating apps or find girls at the hotel?

Been there 5 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The friendly atmosphere is what keeps me coming back.

Word of caution — watch out for taxi scams at the airport. Other than that, great destination.
