Go to VI and/or Lekki Beach

Find and eat Boli, Bread & Ewa Agoyin :noah: Fried Squirrel :ohlawd: & Suya :noah::noah: (all street food)

Proper grub, Pounded Yam ati Efo Egusi/Riro :noah::noah::noah:

Enjoy the nightlife, beware of area boys :whoa:

The visceral poverty can be something else if you're not used to it. Carry 100N to dash to beggars/less fortunate, that's literally cents to you.

t-dot till they bury me
Will do
And you should man

Don't listen to any of that cac media crap you hear.

Only haggle I had was the person searching my bag at custom asking if I had anything for him and I said no and that was it

I'm a black Canadian who grew up around cacs and I'm getting around just fine

Cac media will tell you you'll be kidnapped, robbed and all that hogwash making you think Lagos is like Baghdad Iraq in 2014

The people are friendly as hell, the food is great, the weather is great. Because it's not known as a "tourist" area everything is dirt cheap.

I'm eating at an all you can eat buffet right now for 5,000 naira
Yo scarf you there by yourself or travelling with others? Got fam there?

I want to go so bad :to:

Area boys might be what you'd call roadman or street dudes, they might see you as a lick if you don't know how to carry yourself

VI to Lekki is probably 30-40mins but with Naija traffic might as well allow for an hour+, it's probably the nicest & most affluent part of Lagos (save for Banana Island)

Naija / DMV
What’s run girls? Are they escorts?

Kind of but not really.

The closest equivalent in the US is a sugar baby or "iG model" of sorts. You'll never pay for the actual act but for everything else. Long story short she'll ask for help for things like rent, phone bill, hair weave etc but she'll be like your girl friend.

Run's girls have levels though. Some runs girls be with regular working dudes, some only with politicians.

Funny story, girl I dated in high school supposedly is now a runs girl in Lagos :russ:

I swear Nigeria is such a raw society. No filter

EDIT: Poster below nailed it. Fast girls that look for the fast lifestyle and fast cash. They're a dime a dozen in Lagos and it's EASY to get caught up with them.

My older cousin was running with one a while back. Ole girl was shaped like Nicki Minaj but she was real. Literal neck breaker.
