It's great, apart from the Traffic police, they stop people for stupid reasons but it's best not to back chat them or you'll be there all day. Although a lot of the people are poor and roads are bad, they are all very happy and know how to have fun. It often makes me think why do these idiots in the west complain when they don't have any reason to. There are internet cafes etc. but the access was a bit slow when I was there.
The food is great! Very interesting and nice to be washed down with Nigerian Guinness (has a different and stronger taste to Irish Guinness.)

Nigeria, officially the Federal Republic of Nigeria, is a country in West Africa and the most populous country on the African continent. Nigeria shares land borders with the Republic of Benin in the west, Chad and Cameroon in the east, Niger in the north, and borders the Gulf of Guinea in the south. Since 1991, its capital has been the centrally-located city of Abuja; previously, the Nigerian government was headquartered in Lagos.
The people of Nigeria have an extensive history, and based on archaeological evidence, human habitation of the area dates back to at least 9000 BC. The Benue-Cross River area is thought to be the original homeland of the Bantu migrants who spread across most of central and southern Africa in waves between the 1st millennium BC and the 2nd millennium AD. However, the Nigerian state came into being on October 1, 1960 when Nigeria declared its independence from the British and at present consists of 36 states and the federal capital territory. Nigeria re-achieved democracy in 1999 after a sixteen-year interruption by a series of military dictators. From 1966 until 1999, Nigeria had been ruled (except the short-lived second republic, 1979-1983) by military dictators who seized power in coups d'état and counter-coups.
