Hi All

I am heading to Nigeria soon and would love some ideas on what I should see and do over there?

Ideas on:
sights
taking in the culture
clubs
places to eat
etc

Thanks

Do you intend to travel around Nigeria or will you be restricted to just a city or two?

@OP

wat is ur main aim of coming here and
whom are u coming to visit?

SHALOM

I am staying with a friend who lives there and I am planning on spending my time mainly in Abuja but I will have time to travel around. I am sure my friend knows where to take me but I thought if I knew of a few places then they wouldn't have to stress on what I might want to see.

make sure you visit lagos

@candylips
is there anything specific in lagos. Like a really good club? or place to hang out? or attraction wise?

Lagos. . . . Center of excellence ? Haha, u need to ask? Da BEST place to club, fun. . . . .name it! I advice u Visit lag.

@Tamita
I know I sound very naive but you will be amazed by the lack of tourist information on the web.

And i didnt want to do the whole Lonely Planet thing and look like a REAL tourist

Guess I will venture to Lagos and go with the flow

Thanks nanidee

This the the problem with 'tourism' in Nigeria, you get this just go there where exactly? what are  the buildings, areas to look out for, where to eat?

@Goddess

just browse through all the blogs you can find and perhaps lonely planets too but dont follow it religiously
Good thing you are going to Abuja

Aso Rock

Zuma Rock both in Abuja

Millennium Park

Everywhere in Lagos is a center of attraction, even inside the molue, you're looking for fun? you'd get loads of it anywhere in lag.

Naaah. . . . its better you go to Abuja first. . . . . After you've stayed sometime, then you can do Lagos. Lagos is quite chaotic. . . . but its the most fun place to be in Africa. Going to Abuja first would make it easier for you to assimilate Nigeria positively, after which you can spread out and have as much fun as you wish.
Nigeria is vast and diverse with strikingly different cultures and so many fun places. You would definitely enjoy your stay.

I'd advice you get the Timeout Magazine for Nigeria. It's very detailed with info on all the best places visit.

Make sure you 'd visit Lagos!!

Tell her where to go and hav fun and stop asking those scaring questions

@Hamsters
Thanks so much for the link I will definitly take your advice on the magazine. I think when I land in Lagos i will probably jump straight on another plane to Abuja. So I will end up in Abuja first. The rock formations in Abuja look amazing! It sounds like Lagos is pretty full on so maybe I do need to venture back south after some time in the North and then hopefully drive back up.

@Suxes & @Justwise
I dont mind the questions, I can handle them , ask away

@justwise:

Wat do u mean by scaring questions?
Anyways, Poster, it depends on d type
of person u are.

Lyk u av been seeing and reading here,
Lagos is chaotic and Abuja is kinda quiet.
Just went there once though but u will
see lots of beautiful stuffs in Abj

I think scary's the wrong word. It's more the way you asked your questions, they sounded very interrogative, brusque, almost rude.
