I came across your channel while researching tips for visiting Lagos. I’m coming from U.S. Please keep the advice coming for folks like me. It will be my first trip abroad. I feel it is important to respect your “home” Lagos,Nigeria. Please please please keep me informed. 😊
Steven, to your first point of no nos, it is very unlikely for an American or UK citizen or resident to drive on the wrong or opposite side of the road. They are already accustomed to obeying traffic regulations in their host countries, so seeing the chaos on Lagos roads is actually horrifying. I agree to avoid any confrontation with the police. The truth is though, the police department is beyond corrupt. The idea that they are out there trying to do a job and enforce the law is laughable. They serve no useful purpose to society if we are to be honest, and they should called out. However, thanks for the tips.
@@kevinbell475 The young man is trying not get into trouble with police. However, your description of the Nigerian police is on point. By the way, most Nigerian institutions are actually beyond corrupt to be frank.
Happy Friday beautiful people! I hope you enjoy this episode of "Lagos Travel Guide". Leave me a comment below if you did. If you have video requests for the series, leave them below. For BUSINESS/sponsorship enquiries, email sassyfunke@gmail.com ❤
Good points! Most of the time it’s you people living in Nigeria that don’t stay in line, e.g in the bank, grocery stores, not visitors coming from another country.
Thks so much Funke. I traveled 🧳 von Germany to Lagos Nigeria and following ur videos has really helped me because I had an appointment for my corona test for 96 hours b4 my flight, then I got a video notification from u and after watching the video that it’s 72 hours 😳I just called my doctor and it was changed . So I want to appreciate you videos and Tipps in Travelling. Greetings from Lagos Nigerian in my beautiful hotel.
Thank you for this video but I happen to disagree with some of what was said here. Foreigners never drive on one way, Nigerians in Nigeria do. I saw the most irresponsible driving in Nigeria.Also, police corruption is not a myth. It’s for real. I experienced it right from the airport when I arrived
Everyone in the airport outside of the airport will try to get money from you the police doing traffics will try to get money from You I just came back to the US yesterday form just trio to Nigeria
“One way driving” is Southbound traffic facing northbound traffic. That’s how to describe it to an 🇺🇸 at least. Stephen it’s not accurate that your police ARE trying to do their job, they drink on the job, are corrupt and frankly most of them are not fit to be in law enforcement.
Great you talked about these 7 things we should avoid in Lagos. You talked about night life. Is it wise to go out past 6pm especially when there is incessant kidnappings in Nigeria?
I am visiting Nigeria and do not want to drive or rent a vehicle. Question wil you post the information for hireing a uber or taxi drive . Any information will be ver helpful. Thanks
I’m also planning on entering the tourism industry soon . Just a question, how to you remain positive in this industry despite the challenges of Corona virus ?

Hi Sassy You have become my defacto guide for visiting Lagos. Would you recommend a hotel in Ikoyi or VI? I am trying to decide which is best place for locations on the island? Cheers
:) @defacto guide for visiting Lagos. Hope you have bought a copy of my book? 😊Both are great tbh If you want a quiet vibe, Ikoyi - But VI is closer to most of the popular restaurants (and happenings).
@@SassyFunke Much appreciated Sassy. Keep the content flowing and stay safe. I would recommend you cover restaurants that serve great local (Naija) food. The irony of living abroad is you are craving for good Naija food. It is the old adage - you don't know how good something is till it is gone. Stay safe and wishing you the best.
It depends on where. I would advise you always go out with others and be careful at traffic lights etc. You should watch this video on safety: th-cam.com/video/rALSD3kekoo/w-d-xo.html
@@SassyFunke Thanx so much. Want to visit for the first time in August. I have the Covid Covid vaccination card. Do I still have to do Covid test on arrival at the airport??? From Ghana
I remember some Years back i put on a tee shirt 👕 that's camouflage under my shirts, there was a military trucks by left side how they detected my tee shirts , they just parked by the side two came down and told me to get in the truck and explained why did I wear camouflage. I told their boss it was bought from boutique,he said no way am going to see their boss at ikeja cantonment. I got to ikeja explained to their boss how i got the tee shirt ,at the end he said i need a permit before i put on any military outfits in the public.
Ok I get some of the points but...you say Nigeria is a conservative christian based country so don't dress inappropriate like a mini skirt...are you srs??? In warri all you see is boobs & legs and butt if they bend over even a lil bit in the dresses they wear( if they're not so skin tight that is) everyone could see everything front and back...in family restaurants on the streets everywhere...I was in shock by the way they represented Nigeria after seeing how the ladies dressed and not only kids but almost 30 yr old ladies...oh but thanks for the heads up on the camouflage cuz here in America it is very popular to wear here for a few years now we all have several pieces in our wardrobe I would've had no idea...Many more of these types of videos need to be shown...Great job!
Aunty, I wish the information you're saying is right. People who applied for passport in 2020 still have not received it TODAY. The Nigerian Immigration should make things easier and faster for those outside Nigeria.
I disagree about not driving in Lagos. Apart from the crazy traffic jams there is nothing to be worried about. My attitude is when in another man's country adapt to his ways ( Lawfully ). Lagos with all due respect is over hyped. Scratch the surface and you will understand what I am saying. The jumping of the queue is nothing peculiar about Nigeria or Abroad....it all boils down to BASIC HOME TRAINING. If you are a bush man in London you will be a bush man in Lagos, New York or any city in the world. Basic manners and common sense.....
@@mrchetachukwu6979 Wow,when you get there you will know.I don't want to let the cat out of the Bag but,I can assure you that your life will never remain the same again
In the USA you can take pics of anything and if people wish not to be captured in it then they move out of the way! We don't ask or tell or inform them in any way! Our vacation pics here have all kinds of strangers in them...just the way we roll!
All this sugar coating is rising my sugar levels , but of you , you both have a platform use it to shred light on the wrong way we do things and you know it's wrong .
What's so inappropriate about her dressing? Some people are so lame and self righteous. You are more concerned about what she is wearing than what she got to say. Remember that she has traveled wide and more educated than you and knows exactly how to conduct herself. I am sure her husband loves how she dresses. Concentrate on yourself and let others be. SMH.

Hi Sassy
You have become my defacto guide for visiting Lagos.
Would you recommend a hotel in Ikoyi or VI? I am trying to decide which is best place for locations on the island?
Cheers
:) @defacto guide for visiting Lagos. Hope you have bought a copy of my book? 😊Both are great tbh If you want a quiet vibe, Ikoyi - But VI is closer to most of the popular restaurants (and happenings).
@@SassyFunke Actually my wife did! :-)
Can you suggest any particular VI hotel? I am using the Wheatbaker as a benchmark that is supposed to be quite good.

You'll do it even with 4 covid cert.!!
Lols i was lucky. Nothing happened when i wore my stylish army tshirt visitting nike art gallery and lekki conservation
I remember some Years back i put on a tee shirt 👕 that's camouflage under my shirts, there was a military trucks by left side how they detected my tee shirts , they just parked by the side two came down and told me to get in the truck and explained why did I wear camouflage.

I got to ikeja explained to their boss how i got the tee shirt ,at the end he said i need a permit before i put on any military outfits in the public.
That must have been scary 🙁🙁🙁
Good 👍

Yes I'm from Delta State warri is pretty safe as well
Yay the real estate guy
Aunty, I wish the information you're saying is right. People who applied for passport in 2020 still have not received it TODAY. The Nigerian Immigration should make things easier and faster for those outside Nigeria.
Why can they make it easy for everybody??
Don't dress inappropriately! hmmm! Catcalling is real in Naija
