The question is subjective and relative to a persons own personal preferences.

For me i don't really want to do anything i can do in the UK, so coming home is escape from restrictive conservatism, undue political correctness and the stiff British upper lip it feels like i left prison.

The way we press our horns right from the airport with reckless abandon is sweet music to my ears,it tells me I don land Oh !!!

First thing authentic swallow with real Banga soup, later on Suya and then i have a a whole series of meetings with my guys, social and bizness never sure how to differentiate the two, the beauty of Naija.

Where to go, the choices are limitless. Depending on the which day of the week i might start of with a Church its always good to declare the truth at some Bible study its amazing the extent of distortion, emphasis on cultural traditions, its always a lively debate and somebody always gets loosed from bondage.

Then there is such a plethora of social clubs country, island, boats club, etc. to visit and that's the first night.

My initial time depending on my itinerary will be a series of house openings, weddings, birthdays , a few professional dinners and the weekends day time at the Beach there's quite a few private and public as always don't look too green.

Just driving around will get you frustrated and exhilarated at the same time but you will never be bored.

Nigerians do not know have to have fun. As typical black people we bask in vanity. Fun for a typical Nigerian male is popping expensive bottles of champagne among people who don't even care about you. Fun in Nigeria is limited to sex, drugs and rock n roll.
Where do you take kids to have fun? On the mainland, funplace opebi is not bad and then the usual 3 cinemas and 2 malls, then what else? I took some kids to the Apapa amusement part and the place looked like a crime scene.
Where do you take someone who doesn't drink or smoke to?
Nigerians do not like diversity, when they travel out they are very skeptical about anything foreign especially food.
Most Nigerians who are adventurous cannot wait for their next foreign trip.

For me as an adult male, i would be interested in the following activities in Nigeria:

Camping
Hiking
Rock climbing e.g. climbing famous rocks
Water-sports (jet skiing, speedboats, wouldnt it be nice to have boat trips up and down the Niger or Benue?)
Motorsports (go karting, race track events,
Safaris
Roller-coaster rides
the list is endless

I'm tired of the usual siddon-and-chop activities in nigeria.

My concern as well. Besides eating and nightclubs what can one really do? I can't think of bringing a foreign guest with me because i don't know where to take them.

Overnight camping is great with friends but are there areas on the outskirts of Lagos for that?
I'm not sure of other parts of Nigeria as my focus is on Lagos, but im happy to check up on surrounding areas.
