The lay of the land
With 4 neighbours sharing a border, Nigeria lends itself to chaining. Overland isn’t plan B: it’s often faster and you always see more.

TRIP FILE DATA
No African country has more people, and the second-biggest film industry on earth by output is here: Nollywood releases more titles a year than Hollywood. Lagos is the reason people either fall for the place or never come back.

Travel notes for Nigeria
NG / FIELD NOTESData the moment you land
The eSIM installs at home, on wifi, with no rush, and switches itself on when you land. Plans run from 1 GB to 20 GB, valid up to 30 days, with unlimited day passes for longer stays. It’s the difference between walking off the plane looking for a counter and walking off the plane ordering a car.
Timing your trip
Nigeria doesn’t have four seasons, it has two: dry and wet. The temperature barely moves all year, and what decides the trip is the rain, not the thermometer.
Paying your way
When a card machine or an ATM asks whether you want to pay in your own currency, say no: that’s dynamic currency conversion and the rate is always worse for you. Pay in the local currency every time, and leave the airport exchange desk as a last resort.
Documents & cover
Airlines check for an onward or return ticket at the desk, not the border, and they’ll refuse boarding without one where the rules ask for it. Have the exit booked, or at least printed, before you get to check-in.
Getting understood
Learn four words: hello, thank you, please and sorry. They’re not for communicating, they’re for something else: people’s faces change when you try, and that opens more doors than any app.
