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 mixed time. Wondering if things have changed.
Keen to hear from anyone who has been recently.
Cheers

Been going for years. Scene has shifted a bit but still good.

Did you use local sites or find girls at bars?

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

Word of caution — some online profiles are fake. Other than that, great destination.

I was there in last month and prices were about average. Spent about $150/day all-in.
My tip: avoid weekends.

First time was a learning experience. Second time was so much more efficient. Experience makes all the difference.

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

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