🇳🇬 Nigeria Business Trip Survival Guide

Just spent a month in Nigeria for work—here’s the real talk to save you stress! 🛬 ARRIVAL HACKS: • Visa on Arrival: 30-60 mins at airport (follow the crowd!). • Avoid "helpers": Exit FAST—baggage checks = bribe hotspots. 💸 • Wi-Fi: Connect to FAAN WiFi (no password!) at Abuja Airport. 📱 NETWORK & MONEY: • Local SIM ASAP (MTN/Glo)—your int’l card won’t cut it. 📶 • Cash rules: Mostly naira (₦); USD rarely used. ATMs/POS widely available. • Tipping: ₦200-1,000 for services. 🏡 STAYING SAFE & SANE: • Accommodation: We splurged on a Maitama villa (₦30k/month) with pool, gym, 24/7 power—worth it. • Transport: Uber first, then negotiate ₦3k-5k/hour with drivers. Save their WhatsApp! 🚗 🍳 FOOD & WATER: • Cook at home: Buy meat (cheap!) at local markets, Chinesefor spices. • Water: Bottled ONLY—even for teeth brushing! • Eating out: Western meals ~₦4-500 for 3. Street suya (skewers) = must-try! 🔥 ⚡ UTILITIES REALITY: • Power cuts: Daily in most areas (Maitama = rare exception). • Wi-Fi: "Slow" or "glacial"—manage expectations. #NigeriaTravel 🇳🇬 #AbujaLife 🏙️ #AfricaBusinessTrip 💼 #ExpatHacks 🛠️ #SurvivalGuide 🧭 #NoSugarCoating 😅
