Practical tips for Nigeria
- Nigeria operates primarily on the Naira (NGN); keep crisp, newer USD bills for exchange bureaus, and carry cash as card readers can sometimes face network timeouts.
- Use ride-hailing apps like Uber or Bolt for safe and predictable pricing in major cities like Lagos and Abuja instead of hailing yellow Danfos or street cabs.
- Always greet elders first before starting a conversation or transaction, and always give and receive money or food with your right hand.
Fun fact about Nigeria
The southwestern town of Igbo-Ora is known as the 'Twin Capital of the World' due to having an unusually high rate of twin births, celebrated with an annual festival.
