Returned from 5 days in Nigeria. Exceeded expectations.
Accommodation:
Mid-range Airbnb near the main area. $58/night. Good location, basic amenities.
Scene:
Quieter than I hoped but still good. Prices were in line with forum reports.
Quality:
Generally good looking with good service. Had 3 encounters total.
Logistics:
Transport was easy — Uber/Grab works well. Food was cheap and delicious.
Safety:
No issues at all.
Overall: 8.5/10. Good destination, recommend for first-timers.
Happy to answer any questions.

Word of caution — do not carry too much cash. Other than that, great destination.

First time was overwhelming but exciting. Second time was 10x smoother. Experience makes all the difference.
