White, British bloke, spent a month in Lagos, keep your wits about you and you'll enjoy your stay, do not go around looking well off, do not go out alone after 9pm, be polite, found locals to be Intelligent, friendly and hard working, use your common sense and smile slot.

It’s unfortunate the bad rap Nigeria gets because of lazy good for nothing scammers. On the whole, Nigerians are industrious and hardworking people. The country unfortunately has bad leaders who have siphoned the great resources of that country. Corruption needs to be tackled for the country to progress.

Abuja is way safer than Lagos. If you want to visit Nigeria, go to Abuja or Benin City, Not Lagos.

PPle with differents opinions.Lagos is a safe cities,like most cities in the world there are slums and ghettos in Lagos and you cant live in ghettos and espect no crimes(places like Oshodi,Agege,Agbado,Ajegunle,etc) but move to other places like Ajah,Lagos Island,Victoria Island,Lekki,etc you will find these pl,aces to be very safe. Even some of the ghettos has a very low crime like Agbado(i live in Agbado).And about pple assault you physically bcos of your skin color it's not possible instead we blacks are the victims of racial discrimination.
