Planning my first trip to Nigeria. Read through the older threads but wanted to check if info is still current.
My main questions:
1. Best area to stay for easy access to the scene?
2. Realistic daily budget including accommodation?
3. Any areas to avoid?
4. How is the quality compared to Colombia?
5. Any apps to use before arriving?
Coming from the UK with experience in a few different countries but first time in Nigeria.
Any recent reports or recommendations appreciated. Thanks!

Adding my experience: scene has bounced back since pre-COVID. Biggest change: prices up 15-20%.

First time was overwhelming but exciting. Second time was so much more efficient. Experience makes all the difference.

What was your total spend roughly? Trying to budget for mine.
