Safety & Scams
Exercise a high degree of caution; avoid all travel to the north-east due to terrorism (Boko Haram); kidnapping and armed robbery are significant risks in many parts of the country including Lagos and Abuja; always use private transport arranged by reputable companies; avoid walking alone at night; monitor local media constantly; healthcare is adequate in private clinics in major cities but limited elsewhere; malaria prophylaxis is mandatory.
Getting Around
Domestic flights (Air Peace, Dana Air) are the safest way to travel between major cities; 'Danfo' buses (yellow minivans) are the iconic but chaotic mode of transport in Lagos; ride-hailing apps like Uber and Bolt are popular and safer for foreigners; rail services are improving, notably the Lagos-Ibadan and Abuja-Kaduna lines.
Cultural Etiquette
Respect for elders is paramount; greetings should be enthusiastic; hospitality is a source of pride; punctuality can be flexible (African time); ask permission before taking photos; remember that Nigerians are very expressive and loud conversations are normal.
Internet & Connectivity
Digital infrastructure is booming; 4G/5G is widely available in cities like Lagos and Abuja via MTN, Airtel, and Glo; fiber internet is increasing in business districts; some outages can occur due to power instability.
