I have a great friend who is traveling to Nigeria in a few weeks and he wants to know where to go what to do. He's an adventurer and loves to have fun. he's also cultured and likes to experience different things. (He's Indian-American). He'll be interested in places where the locals and also definitely where the expats/foreigners go.
He wants to go to great places to tour, shop, eat, party, and just experience. He will be in Lagos, Ibadan, maybe harcourt, and also in rural areas away from cities visiting villages.

any great suggestions. ( also suggestions of areas to stay away from)

tell him to stick ti the ikeja area and also victoria island he can't go wrong

OK THanks! Are there specific nightclubs, shops, restaurants, eatery, etc he should go to?

I've heard of Bacchus, Club Do It All, La Casa, Volar, 1145, Motherland, J's Palace, and Club 21. What are these places like? Thanks in advance all.

Take a look at this site by Expatriates in Nigeria for foreigners new to Nigeria, you will get all the info you need from their perspective.

@ poster, your friend should also try and visit Olumo Rock in Ogun State. There's a good bit of history and, if you get a good tour guide, it's quite informative.  All of my friends who have visited Nigeria have been there and have enjoyed it.  Also Lekki Conservation Centre is a good place to visit. 

Just let your friend know that Nigeria doesn't cater for tourists like Ghana or many of the East African countries.  As for the oyinbosonline website, personally I find that site questionable.  Not the best advertisement for Nigeria.
