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 last year and had a decent time. Wondering if things have changed.
Any recent trip reports would be helpful.
Cheers

Also recommend downloading Google Translate before you go. Essential.

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

Did you use an agency or find girls at bars?

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