Since you said for vacation and fun, going by what you said ,Lagos is the best.

True lagos is cool, but it's too expensive to be the best...the very first time I went to oniru beach with my pals , after paying gate fee of 1k each (we were 4 in number), we still had to pay 5k for table and chairs. balling never start, we done already blow 9k. sad I go use that money ball for places like Enugu and still get a decent hotel.

My village in December.

Anyone looking where to visit and relax with loads of fun should simply visit your ancestral village.

There is no better place than one's village except you are one of those who claim Lagos and have never been to their village

Just seeing your love ones in the village, the peace , serenity and pure Love can cure you of any "City madness" .

Only in the village you see someone you don't know from Adam greet you with so much reverence...in place like Lagos if a stranger greets you on the Road you would turn back to check if he's a mad man before you answer... because nobody send you, you can live in typical Compound for years and your next door neighbor doesn't even know your name...Strangers!

Lagos most definitely. Low kidnapping rate compared to the south south, loads of fun places to visit, beach, bars, clubs. Also, loads of events happening, drama, comedy. Its the fun capital of Nigeria.

Next is Abuja, though not as bubbly as Lagos but for people with very high taste. Lots of open air gardens to eat barbeque fish & chips and music at night.
The bolded is exactly what I call fun. Thanks for your recommendation.

Bauchi - Yankari game reserve. Time of the season where you get to meet with the wild animals in their natural form, the kind of weather at present again is condusive for outdoor camping.

Taraba - Gashaka Gumpti National park, for its serene and natural life. Cost of feeding is very economical and security wise its safe


Cross Rivers - Obudu cattle ranch or this other national park. But cost of living is high economically


Lagos - Wispering palm resort Badagry. Very calm, serene, cost of living and going round Badagry is affordable. One stone can be used to kill many birds - many places to visit in Badagry ( Abbas Seriki slave Barraccoon, Mobee Slave relics museum, National museum, first storey building in Nigeria, first translated Yoruba bible, point of No Return, well of Attenuation, Vlakette slave market, Administrative Staff College of Nigeria, French Language Village, Suntan Beach, many private resort, Michael Jackson Amphitheatre, White man grave yard, place of first Christmas celebration in Nigeria, and so many other side attractions)

The bolded noted. Thank you.

Maiduguri! You can view the ruins of the old Kanem Bornu empire. If you're feeling adventurous, you could take a breathtaking safari across the Sambissa Game Reserve! The place is littered with exotic animals, dead bodies and hidden mines. A good tour guide would charge you less than $100 for the thrill.

You can visit Biu plateau. I hear it was an active volcano about a thousand years ago. You can make your way to the top and have a picnic there while watching soldiers battle the terrorists. There's a way the bullets and RPGs paint the orange sky at dusk that words can't explain.

Don't forget to visit the Shehu of Borno's palace and go fishing in Lake Tilla.. Watch out for the crocodiles there



Thank you my brother for this information. I was in Calabar during Donald Duke era. The Ranch is another world of its own. It is about 7 hrs journey. In the North, there are so many things that makes vacation very exciting. Most of these wonders of nature are not known to people.

If Oniru is expensive, then you haven't tried Inagbe resorts. Owned by the Ooni of Ife. Very beautiful and serene environment

You can also visit Kajuru Castle in Kaduna. It's a stone throw from Abuja

Everybody mentioning Calabar like WTF undecided.. What is in calabar??.. Op, don't even think of going there, its not safe..Too many fights and cult troubles...

If you want some peace and quiet, tight security, nice people, delicious delicacies, nature views, good roads, clean environment, beautiful chicks. winkgrin Then welcome to the beautiful city of Uyo.. You can lodge at the LA meridian hotel and golf resort...


DON'T GO TO CALABAR....

It depends on the kind of things your may be interested in. The kind of activities you love etc . If you are a lover of beaches, Lagos will serve you well, there are over 25 beaches in Lagos. Lagos also have some historical places like the first storey building, first school etc. There are probably couple of places to visit in Lagos.
If you want soccer seeing and adventure then do obudu mountain resort. If you live hiking and adventure visit jos , Oyo , idanre hills etc. I could help with a list which will be based on your interests.
