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
- Best hotels near the scene
I was there a while back and had a decent time. Wondering if things have changed.
Keen to hear from anyone who has been recently.
Cheers

Also recommend downloading Grab before you go. Essential.

Been there 10 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The consistency is what keeps me coming back.

Adding my experience: scene has bounced back since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more online activity.
