It's okay if you are not after luxury. That said, avoid rural and undeveloped parts of every state(they are mostly a haven for all sorts of criminals:bandits, kidnappers, cattle rustlers etc). Avoid travelling from one state to the other by road; most of the highways are a death trap. By the way, where are you coming from?

From Australia my friend hahahaha

Danielomisco:
Yes it will,Come to Jos Plateau State .
Its the north central region connecting all other states and I live there.We can pivot from there.I have friends in almost all the northern States we can stay wit for days and be introduced to their culture properly.
Mail me danlamigarba366@gmail.com

Thank you my friend I will contact you

Hey, I've posted here before about coming to Nigeria. I want to stay for around two months to get a good feel for all of the country, particularly the north.

Will 1.5 million Naira - about 3.5k USD - be enough for two months?

I absolutely do not need luxury and will try and stay with locals, eat Street food and travel by local transport.

Let me know!

Any time u are Ready to hit the road to North Nigeria hala at me, I will show you round

Mashallah brother I will email you now

donbachi:
Good people.

Do people tend to be friendlier in the north or the south? Are both the same?

Pls don't miss dog meat peppersoup..

I've actually had dog in North Korea, it's not too bad

I'm from Australia and want to come visit when our borders open. What should I not miss in Nigeria? I'm not talking about tourist stuff, but actual places/events which will give me insight into the country. I'm particularly interested in the north, but I'll spend time in the south too. Be as general or specific as you please.

Modupeoluwa123:
Tried sending you a mail but I dunno what’s wrong.

Hit me there

Modupeoluwa123:
I’m a lady actually.

Apologies

Pheo:
Why maiduguri?? there are other interesting places to visit in nigeria asides that.
tho there some areas safe in maiduguri but you'd need someone that understands the terrain to be your guide

Yeah for sure I will visit Kano, Lagos etc as well. Anywhere in particular you recommend?

Modupeoluwa123:
Hello, i am a storyteller and documentary filmmaker here in Nigeria. I have interest in documenting the northern part of Nigeria before exploring the world, I could be your host as well as work with you if you don’t mind.

Hey brother! Send me an email on my nairaland profile let's get in touch

[quote author=heendrix post=94640102]what you need the journey for if I'd ask??

let's say you publish it and ?? [/bquote]

I want to make a name for myself so I can investigate more places in the world and bring awareness to people in my country. People in Australia have no clue what's happening in the rest of the world and I want to inform.

heendrix:
It's delusional to think you'd be safe being a White man Boko Haram doesn't know the difference between a White and a black guy you'd get the worst treatment being a white guy even. But well, if you're immune to bullets....then you got my pass stamp buddy

Yeah that's what I mean I thought I'd obviously be more of a target being white

I'm a foreigner, tell me: what are these people really about? I know quite a bit about the taliban and they seem relatively reasonable, fighting a defensive war etc.

But what the Bleep is up with Boko Haram? Is it literally a group that the mentally ill join? They don't seem to be able to be reasoned with at all and will kill at random. The taliban applies strict sharia but what the Bleep does Boko do? Is it literally an excuse to run around and do whatever they want? Is it funded by someone? Why are they insane?

RemoveKebab:
OP State your mission

1.Gun runner
2. Mercenary
3.Or Humanitarian service/war reporter

Because any foreigner that want to visit a warzone have either of this missions

Yeah #3, reporter. Making a documentary about Boko. Would Boko kill me simply because I'm white? I would live as a muslim while I visit.

OP here. Am I unironically more likely to be kidnapped than not? Is my chance better than 50%?

Hey. I'm from Australia and I travel to politically interesting places and make documentaries about them. I'm independent and not with any organization. Tell me, realistically how safe is Maiduguri for a white guy if I was to have a local with me? What about lake chad? Is it even accessible? What about Kano? I'm not worried about a bit of danger, I've been to war zones before, but I need to know about accessibility and stuff.

Also is crossing the border to Chad feasible?
