Hi, I am posting a general question to know the current situation in the areas of Lagos/Port Harcourt. Would like to know recent visitors opinions on hotels,retaurants,shopping,bars,local and in/out transportation, as well as security issues.

The reason, I was in the country back in 1995-96 and will be going again in the next few weeks for a long stay in those areas; Thank you for your inputs,all counts.

No special requirements are observed here. In fact, what most of the girls who frequent these places were would make your hair stand attention.

Can somebody shed some light on this??? Is it not advisable to go to a bar in Lagos?
Thanks!

I am traveling to Nigeria in a couple of weeks and I was wnodering if anyone had any travel tips. Do I need to bring any adapters for electrical appliances or are they the same over there?

Hi,
I'm interested in experiencing the local village life in Nigeria. There are several of my group who would like to learn how Nigerians live outside the cities, spend some time with them and visit them in their communities. Are there any travel groups or contacts that can give us some information on how to do this? We decided to focus on the Jos area and take tours of the surrounding area. Where could we stay? How would we find a guide to help us? How can you make contact with village leaders to setup such a visit?

thanks

You mention that people carry large amounts of cash notes with them..You also say that these notes develop an unattractive smell to them. Does this mean that credit cards are not readily accepted? Is cash money the only way to pay for things in Lagos? It is not possible to use a credit card instead of cash?
Thank you for any help that you can give me.

Does anyone have an idea of how much a bus ride from Lagos to Calabar cost? I know the flight is between 16,000 to 19, 00 naira. Please advice.

I will be spending a night in Lagos and i don't know anybody there and i haven't got a lot of cash to spend,please I need a place to lay my head i hear Lagos is very dangerous
Can somebody give me the name of a hotel/motel that costs between 2500 and 3000 naira a night that is clean and has some security please???
Thank You.

Hello VTErs,

I was hoping that one or more of you can recommend an outstanding tour guide and tour company in Nigeria. I realize that tourism is still in its infancy there, but maybe somebody knows a good one.

I am interested in doing a COMPREHENSIVE tour of Nigeria (all relevant areas, north, east, south and western parts) for up to 3 or 4 weeks. I would like to do this with a private guide and driver.

3 questions:

1) When is a good time weatherwise to see Nigeria (I was thinking in December...any suggestions...no mosquito or wet season please)

2) Great travel guide or company in Nigeria?

3) Overall safety for foreigners in Nigeria?

Hope to hear from you.
