Haven't been to Nigeria in a while, but have been to Asia.

The usual recommendation is to take a course of anti-malaria medication at least 3 weeks before travelling to any country where the malaria virus is present.

You're also recommended to take it whilst in the contry, and continue taking for at least 3 weeks after you've returned to your country, in your case, Germany.

I've never had any side effects, other than not contracting malaria!

Good luck, and safe journey.
