Flying from the UK (I'm in Scotland) to Nigeria and vice versa is ridiculously expensive and it seems that it's only Virgin Air and KLM who do the journey. It's not that far, but requires about £700 or more for an economy return that's not even direct. I could literally go to the other side of the world for less. Why is it so expensive? Does anyone know of a cheaper airline or route to get there?

I think that since not many people do that journey, it is not in high demand and coyld be out of the way for some pilots, which could explain the costs. For a cheaper fare, i don't know if i can help you there. On orbitz i found a London-Frankfurt-Lagos for 655 USD.

Have you checked out the price of jet fuel lately? Maybe if you bought a row boat it wouldn't cost you so much to go there.
Have a nice day!

Now why would you want to go there? Flights are expencive because there simple arent enough people travelling there to make a profit...lets face it Nigeria isnt really a holiday destination!
