I plan on visiting Nigeria for two weeks the beginning of this August. And while I'll be met by my boyfriend at the airport (Murtala Mohammed) I'm still a little concerned about travelling in between states. We'll only be staying in Lagos for a night or so before travelling to Enugu. There are, as far as I know, only two ways of travelling, by either getting an internal flight or by going by coach, which is where I ask your advice. Which is safer, cheaper and simply, the easier option?

Any advice would be appreciated, thanks.

email me via cutetotalk at yahoo.com so i will provide u with possible alternatives,

Travel by coach - see the beautiful country side - travel by air - shorter but more expensive. Your boyfriend should give you all the advice you need, you are not alone. I have travelled widely in Nigeria and I see foreigner in almost every city in Nigeria - so loose out the nervousness.

What other alternative could there be?

Thanks for the advice guys!

Alabiyemmy, I would prefer to travel by coach as I hate, hate, hate flying (I'm scared, LoL) but is it really safe? My boyfriend reasures me it is and I trust him 100% but I've been told by others that I'm likely to be "targeted" travelling so openly. Any input?

Saddam, what other alternative ways of travelling are there? I'm travelling from Lagos to Enugu. From what I've looked up and been told, they're the only ways.

Targetted? I dont understand how.

Bus oooo, you people should enter Ekene dili chukwu or any of the buses to enugu cuz that is what I used wen i was going from Lagos to Enugu. You see things as as someone said, alot of foreigners oooo, again, I dont trust Nigerian domestic airlines again, Safe journe, you will have fun

She is talking out of experience
Yes the sights are beautiful by coach but its about 7hrs drive, safe and the fare is cheaper

By Air is about 45mins, NO sights the fare is 4times that of the coach and it is safe.

The ministry of aviation has restructured the industry and are well regulated.
