Hey everyone, I just placed an order for a particular 'cheap' drone I found on Aliexpress, and will like to know from the experts what requirements I must obtain to fly one here.

It's a toy quadcopter between I don't think those laws of acquiring a licence before flying a drone works here

There is a recent law against drones usage in public places in Nigeria. Google for more info
I'm sure the enforcement isn't serious if you're not around military facilities and airports, so be guided appropriately

Videos are crappy usually wobbly during mid air flight.. They are not usable for cinematography as the drone doesn't have gimbal "2 axis / 3 axis". Depends on what u need the videos for, then it's ok. If u flying for fun then u good to go also note that this drone doesn't support satellite positioning as they use GPS for flight calibration.

Enjoy your Drone, but try to eventually get a Phantom 4 Pro. I used to use the standard Phantom for videos when camping outdoors in the wild. The standout improvement I enjoy is the Phantom Pro’s camera. It also uses all-new hardware with a 1-inch image sensor — which is four times the size as what’s used in the original Phantom 4. On top of that, the camera can shoot 4K video at up to 60 frames per second, and still images at up to 20 megapixels.
aperture control and a mechanical shutter. No matter how you look at it, the P4’s new camera is bigger, better, and more customizable than ever.
