Nigeria 🇳🇬 I think 4-5 days is a good amount of time for a first trip, and you shouldn't try to travel too many countries across borders because Lagos has traffic and road travel requires extra time. Also, consider the US recommendations. Currently, the situation remains at Level 3: Reconsider Travel. In the southwest, including Lagos, increased caution is needed regarding crime and nighttime travel.
