a "small" city, niegrian way that is over 100,000 habs. Nive heritage city near the border. Very nice people, traditionnal music, rich history.

You like it or hate it. There is no in between. Good music if you know where to look. When Felerason Kuti was still alive they had the best music in Africa. His son has taken over the business. Good music, but the rebel is gone. Lagos is loud agressive and you need to be streetwise to survife and have a good time. They have an incredible public transport system that no foreigner can understand. It is based on thousands of small enterprices instead of a state run transport system. It works, although it looks like chaos. We used to go restaurant hopping. Every cource an other restaurant. We ate some wonderfull fresh grilled sole fish and even food ice cold beer. The Lagos Hilton Hotel is an experiance, since it is not a real HILTON hotel as we know them. They do however have some very cold beer and some very good hot and spicy suya (meat on scewers) and some real mean goatseye pepper soup ( the dogs down the steet love the goat eye when you throw it over the fence) I could never bring myself to eat the eye. You should try it, even if it is just for the fun. Atleast you have a story to tell your Grandchildren.

The people of Port Harcourt which are the Ikwerre tribe are hard working people who are heavily enshrined in their local customs, especially by their way of engaging in traditional dances and music;you will mostly find them performing the tradition in funerals and traditonal occations like marriages and wrestling festivals. they are very accomodating that's the reason for the peace and conduciveness of the environment within the city.

The best way to get around town is using motorcyclists called 'bikes'. You can call one by waving your palms facing downwards or by simplyb saying 'BIKE'. Typical fares start at N30. When you give your destination, the bike man could name a price from N70 - N100. If he says N70 take N20 off and ask for N50. If N100, take N30 off and settle for N70.

Kano was exciting for me.i stayed off hadeja road....by yankaba ,red bricks and hospital muritala in city.kano indigenes are not too friendly with women.nightlife is better enjoyed in sabon gari.......you can eat local delicacies like chicken gwagwa.weather...when its cold...its cold.when its hot...its hot.i prefer their private hospital to their general hospitals.accomodation can be expensive.things are quite cheap...food is really cheap.i never went out when its 1..prayr time and i had to watch how i dressed.its better to do your shopping in kori market for clothing materials...you get the best deals.i was a sweettooth and suya lover...try halal meat and oasis bakery.be ready to take biks in kano cos the bikes are more than the cars.

Dont even go there! not safe in the slightest. you wont see poverty like it again.

Benin City is a place to rough it in Africa. No grand hotels or restaurants. Food is pure Nigerian, or southern Nigerian. Pounded yam, or fufu as they call it in Ghana, rice are the staples.

When travelling any place in Nigeria, it's safer to have a local with you.

1. Lagos in a busy commercial city. 2. Life in Lagos is fast.
