Hello OP. I observed you just registered on NL for the purpose of this inquiry, meaning it must be important to you. I don't have answers to all your questions and will leave that to those who do. However, 1) for mobile plans, I would advise that you find out what network you'll be calling the most (a.k.a partner's number) and get a sim card from the same service provider. Calls to same service-providers are generally cheaper. Sim cards can be purchased, registered and activated within 12hrs. 2) I do not live on the island, but lagos is generally secure for movements. [s] Except you're a criminal, in which case you should watch out for our law enforcement patrols [/s]. Just kidding Provided you don't plan to keep late nights (11pm/12am) you should be fine. 3) souvenirs. That's no problem. You can easily ask around the local markets. Lots of things you can buy. [s]Or if you can pay good money, I can rob my village shrine for you.[/s] 4) there are more superstores than you can count. And yes, there are also a few shoprite outlets. 5) local dishes? Don't worry. Just visit the restaurants here and ask them to "surprise you" They got you covered. 6) two weeks should be enough to learn about the We'll be glad to have you in our wonderful country. I hope you enjoy your stay. All the best. 3 Likes 1 Share |

waelgaber: Victoria Island is Ok and reasonably safe for night crawlers. You'll get everything you want from shopping malls, clubs, cinemas, beaches to art galleries. Some of the hotel have pavillions where African sourvenirs can be purchased, Eko Hotel i know. |

Hello, I believe you will be impressed while you visit Nigeria. Am based in Lagos and I know for sure that Victoria Island is one of the coolest and safest areas of Lagos. You can get everything you need from shopping malls spread around. You definitely will be lodged in a decent secure hotels so you can always get more informations from most of the hotel staffs who are always absolutely friendly. I have rendered concierge services to various company staffs and international clients coming into Nigeria so just in case you need a unique service in regards to pickup from airport, hotel reservation and general errand services kindly keep me informed. Thank you. |
