Why are we Nigerians diaspora calling it a tip for checking your passport and actually the official doing their job. It's called bribery and it's illegal. Having travelled to Nigeria on many occasions I refuse to bribe/tip any official for doing their job. When asked by any official if I have anything for them (with that look in their eye) I simply ask them to repeat it again and they simply ask in a loud voice so others can hear " are you asking for a bribe " everytime I have said those words the official simply hands over my documents and ask me to move on with my journey. Especially as they don't want to be investigated and potentially lose their job. Having travelled extensively around the world Nigeria is only country I'm familiar with, where it seems common practice. And we wonder why foreigners don't like to holiday in Nigeria. It shows Nigeria in a bad light, if your first experience as a traveller when you land in a country is to be asked for a bribe/tip. Please let's stop this bad practice as it enables them to continue this illegal practice. This is not a rant please.
This comment really made me laugh!!! It is soo accurate. The "Oga, what did you bring for us?" line is well worn but I can't believe people still pay them. You're right of course, to pay them is to encourage them!
Yeah, when asked I say no sorry I don't have anything on me. They simply say 'okay then, enjoy your stay'. This was in Abuja airport this Sunday gone though, not Lagos. I got to Abuja from London and was unable to get the QR code before boarding as there was a glitch on the site, but upon arrival a member of staff just registered me manually and never asked for a dime. He also waived me having to pay for the PCR tests there and then, he just said it's okay just take the paper show it to them at the exit and go. Pay at the clinic when you go.It was not stressful at all and rarely is at Abuja airport to be honest, except the taxi people competing with each other for the rides into the city.
I just came back from Lagos and didn't have any issues. I was so nervous because Lagos airport has a bad reputation. Make sure you have all your paperwork so you don't give them any reason to mess with you. Go in there confident and don't look intimidated. If people offer to help you just ignore them. Don't even tell them no because they will keep trying.
Thank you so much! My best friend is traveling for the winter and invited me to go with her. I've heard some not so great things about foreigners traveling to Nigeria. I have been nervous about it and hesitated on saying yes but your videos have been so informative and real, that I feel much more calmer and confident going.
Hi Abayo! Thank you for the insight and information about going through the Lagos Airport, I am leaving in the next few days to stay at Lagos, first trip👍
Each time I go , there is always that bunch that argue and the white man( German) looking at us funny but who can blame them if we can't be respectful and civil around ourselves?! Very sad 😔
Hi, I have recently started watching your videos on Nigeria, which is God sent. In the near future I plan to travel to Nigeria, and I have so many questions, half of which you addressed in your videos, thank you again for being so genuine and informative in your delivery. I am a Jamaican, living in the US, and I see so many similarities between the Jamaican and Nigerian culture which have propelled me to explore more of the culture and the reason for the visit. Your videos seemed to be geared towards returning residents or for individuals who have some form of connection to Nigeria. If possible, can you please compile a video for an individual who has never experienced Nigeria, in regards to the healthcare sector, where to stay, day/night activities etc. I will definitely link you for that Uber driver. Thank you again for your time and effort in creating these videos. Blessings!!!
You are very welcome. I am so glad to hear that. and yes. I have a resource for lagos. that has a lot of detailed information about a lot of things. Check out this playlist. It has 100+ videos about many topics. I do need to shift my messaging a bit. I want to attract black people worldwide in general to come and invest and explore Nigeria. th-cam.com/play/PLFF7xBMJFDe2RqkEWueDs7xkhRo4IC2ZJ.html
Isn't it amazing how you narrate everything without bringing yourself down because what many don't realise is that people will treat you however you precent yourself if you bring your country down for people to see you're automatically teaching them how to treat you poorly' you're raised well my brother.
Interesting. The funny thing is when I've landed in the past recent months, the Nigerians on the plane were very relaxed calm, so I guess it all depends on the individuals. I was actually surprised. As for the tipping or (the ask for money), I agree with Bayo, folks, please stop giving these folks money, it encourages this behaviour, and let's be honest most of these individuals are just distractions from your main goal of leaving the airport. Lastly it is sometimes very hard differentiating between the airport officials, and the hustlers. So if you think you are tipping an airport official, you might be actually tipping a hustler who has been allowed by the officials to operate.
A tip for you all. For less money, you can fly to Abuja airport which on average, takes about 15 minutes from the plane to baggage claim. Then you can walk over to the domestic airport which is more or less in the same building, and board a flight to Lagos. Generally, flights to Abuja from the UK are $100-$200 cheaper, then the flight to Lagos from Abuja is about $70-1$100. FYI, Abuja's corruption is minimal as it's the capital city.
@@thenigeriannomad Its not unlike travelling within the US. The Abuja-Lagos route is popular so there are loads of flights. Once you arrive in Lagos, you just grab your stuff and bounce.
Its just best if you want to be stress free. the city is literally moving so fast that you have to be intentional about occasionally adjusting your pace.
Very informative bro! I'll be going 3rd time in a month, I always say do your research ,have all that required and one should be fine . Thanks for sharing your tips
THANK YOU! This is how i have been able to fly in and out of the airport with not giving money the last few times. A lot needs to change but in the meantime, I want to empower people on ways to not contribute to the problem.
My goodness the scuffling on that flight!😱 I wounld almost not belive it until I saw this. Absolutly shocking. Definately not good. Excellent video Bayo have a good one mate 👍😂
I'm thinking about taking a trip to Nigeria for the 1st from the US and I've been watching your videos. I would love to ask you a few questions..just kidding many questions about the steps to take..your help is greatly needed and appreciated

Some people just don't know how to act. What do these adults teach their kids? Just curious. By the way, Bayo, I always look forward to hearing you say to "remember to rise and let your light shine". I can't believe that I thought it was somewhat corny the first time I heard it, and now I look forward. Lol. It's a good reminder in life. We all need to hear it every now and again.
Thanks I appreciated the border advice. I was reading the entry requirements online e.g. vaccine and testing, and there were so many words I got confused and gave up. But watching this, now I understand 👍
Very well done! Everything here is exactly what i am used to (except for the new covid stuffs). Very brilliant idea for you and anyone to get familiar with coming in and out of 9ja independently.
Hahaha rewarding you for wasting (your) time! 🤣🤣🤣 But seriously the argument reminded me of when I was getting married in Lagos and my Jamaican parents were flying out to the wedding in Nigeria. Boarding the plane my dad waited for the person Infront of him to pack her stuff away to sit in her seat. A Nigerian woman behind started to insult my dad n curse him for not moving forward but my dad showed her the reason why. The woman continued to curse and so my mum took her on! 🤣🤣 On the flight so many people approached my parents and apologized for the Nigerian woman's behaviour. 🤣🤣🤣
Nice video..As an Nigerian your transition is easy. I wish you would have covered what someone who isn't Nigerian can incur. I'm sure it's a different experience.
Bayo, Thank you for sharing the information with us, it was very informative and in clear english. Your behavior looks peaceful and free from worries. 😊😊😊

id love to know what everyone on the plane was yelling about, ive never heard anyone yelling at a plane about anything, are they afraid of their possesions, is it usally problems? it is an advantage to get off the plane first? what is it
Great content Bayo. The experiment of using Uber/Bolt is exactly what I needed to find out if it works.I agree with the independence. Please share your Uber driver's details.
Whatever happened to their economy? Don't think I am interested in paying someone a tip just because ... Excellent video. Heard some of this before, but really learned the why's. Thanks again for the details and especially the way you delivered all of this. What is happening ...
Thanks Bayo. Ok o Bayo stay to your promise o, that you can help to get ride in Naija. I will definitely get in touch with you o.🤣 This information makes me restful enough thanks 💕
Whatsapp me on +2349157402945 whenever you need a trustworthy driver to pick you up at the airport! I've got a few trusted drivers. I hope this helps? Thanks
Could you please do an update since it's been a year since this video? I am planning to fly to Lagos in Oct. Are they still checking for Covid? 7 day test? What is a good answer when they ask for a tip for checking your passport? Could you explain more about using my phone when I get to the airport? So, from the time the plane lands until you can get to the person who is picking you up (with one checked bag) would be like an hour and a half?
Hey, good morning. I found your video very informative and straight to the point. However, I’m planning on visiting Nigeria soon. @18.21 you spoke about the Uber driver and I will like to know if you still have a good relationship with the driver. I will like to know more about him and potentially have him to come pick me up if possible. Thanks
The more you know, the less you stress . because you know what to expect and how to overcome. yes ooh that's just the reality. I just tell them no . I dont even let people carry my bags.
On passport checking, Nigeria is still a military state, one officer is immigration man, while other is SSS officer, checking for the names of the 'enemies' of the Govt arriving in the country. Quite ridiculous.
Your first video that I will watch is this that I really need as am planning to go back to 9ja next year after a very long time and I also have to dot down some points, just wanna ask do u order for the bolt when u get to the airport, was it the app you have been using abroad no need to download another bolt app in Nigeria maybe by the airport and once again thanks so much for this video
Please what airline was that? I’ve never experienced anything like that ever! Ghana must go that big in the main cabin? Anyway I fly economy comfort. There’s usually no stress there.
Fantastic information Bayo, thank you so much! Any advice on how much money to travel with dollar wise. I noticed you exchanged $30 at the airport. I have heard they low ball you on the exchange rate at the Airport and it's better to do it in the mainland. I guess I should ask, why the airport?
You are very welcome! and i think a few $100 should get you by for a week or so till you get settled. and yes they do low ball you. you pay for the convenience but honestly. it it isnt that much. Less than a dollar is what i missed out on. ha. . it matters more when you are exchanging a huge sum of money. I changed at the airport because i didn't want to stop to do anything outside but go straight to my driver. I also needed cash to buy some snacks and food on the way.
Thanks for sharing Bayo. Hope you’re enjoying your stay. Our people with all their arguments, even coming from abroad they still show who they are. Btw- Any good airbnb you can recommend in Lekki area that is located in a very Secured and Safe Gated Estate?
I want to visit Lagos so bad!!! This would be my first visit to Africa. However, people discourage me from traveling to Nigeria. I’ve traveled to India alone. So, with proper planning, I believe I can do it. What do you think? Btw, thank you for this info!!! 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
The Lagos airport is a no-no for me, I have had to use that airport once when I travel to the US, but the experience was not worth it. The international airport in Abuja is way better.
@@didi7680 Well, i leave in Abuja, i decided to use the Lagos airport because international flight tickets from lagos are way cheaper. Apparently it aint worth the stress.
I just bought my ticket I’m going by myself I’m American I’m a little wary now I’m trying to find out how to do this Visa it seems like the website is always down how do I do the visa do I do it on arrival do I fill it out on the computer and pay for it or do I pay them when I get there I don’t live in Atlanta or Washington where I can just going pick up a visa so I’m really confused on how all this works every time I ask any of my Nigerian friends they all have different ways of how they did it and none of them sound easy
Flying to Lagos Nigeria in June from the uk 🇬🇧 but I’m having trouble with registry on the Nigerian international travel portal what do you recommend me to do?
I loved your video but I don’t know if I could take the airport harassment. You are very good. I love to travel but know have difficulty walking, how do the handle wheelchair travelers? 👍🏼
Hi😄 Planning a trip to Nigeria sometime this year for the FiRST time. I’m nervous 😊Please explain time difference from the US to Nigeria when flying there and back, thanks in advance.
Thank you kindly for replying! I will do as you suggest. Your videos are helpful by all means! I see you visited Manhattan KS a few years ago😀 Have you flown to Abuja?

Whatever happened to their economy? Don't think I am interested in paying someone a tip just because ... Excellent video. Heard some of this before, but really learned the why's. Thanks again for the details and especially the way you delivered all of this. What is happening ...
Thank you very much! The economy is just anyhow
Thanks Bayo. Ok o Bayo stay to your promise o, that you can help to get ride in Naija. I will definitely get in touch with you o.🤣 This information makes me restful enough thanks 💕
Whatsapp me on +2349157402945 whenever you need a trustworthy driver to pick you up at the airport! I've got a few trusted drivers. I hope this helps?
Thanks
Thanks so very much Bayo for this useful information.. is it possible to get the Uber guy contact please?
Would be in Naija a week time. Many Thanks
It's over one year. Sure there may have been changes especially with the covid screen. Any updates?
Hey Bayo, good job information us on traveling and investing in real estate in naija, thanks
My pleasure
Great Tips!
thanks
Could you please do an update since it's been a year since this video? I am planning to fly to Lagos in Oct. Are they still checking for Covid? 7 day test? What is a good answer when they ask for a tip for checking your passport? Could you explain more about using my phone when I get to the airport? So, from the time the plane lands until you can get to the person who is picking you up (with one checked bag) would be like an hour and a half?
poker face don't answer
Hey, good morning. I found your video very informative and straight to the point. However, I’m planning on visiting Nigeria soon. @18.21 you spoke about the Uber driver and I will like to know if you still have a good relationship with the driver.
I will like to know more about him and potentially have him to come pick me up if possible.
Thanks
There's never any day stress free in Nigeria airport from A to Z, in or out. What about those begin for money all the time? Very bad.
The more you know, the less you stress . because you know what to expect and how to overcome. yes ooh that's just the reality. I just tell them no . I dont even let people carry my bags.
No, in Abuja it's relatively stress free. Lagos is a world of its own sometimes.
On passport checking, Nigeria is still a military state, one officer is immigration man, while other is SSS officer, checking for the names of the 'enemies' of the Govt arriving in the country. Quite ridiculous.
It bothers me every time so i finally had to just ask for explanation. yes ooh!
Your first video that I will watch is this that I really need as am planning to go back to 9ja next year after a very long time and I also have to dot down some points, just wanna ask do u order for the bolt when u get to the airport, was it the app you have been using abroad no need to download another bolt app in Nigeria maybe by the airport and once again thanks so much for this video
Awesome information thanks a lot🌹🌹🌹
youre welcome
Please what airline was that? I’ve never experienced anything like that ever! Ghana must go that big in the main cabin? Anyway I fly economy comfort. There’s usually no stress there.
Thanks for your tips.. just wondering if it would be the same as Abuja International Airport as well?
Abuja is zero trouble
I think so!
Fantastic information Bayo, thank you so much! Any advice on how much money to travel with dollar wise. I noticed you exchanged $30 at the airport. I have heard they low ball you on the exchange rate at the Airport and it's better to do it in the mainland. I guess I should ask, why the airport?
You are very welcome! and i think a few $100 should get you by for a week or so till you get settled. and yes they do low ball you. you pay for the convenience but honestly. it it isnt that much. Less than a dollar is what i missed out on. ha. . it matters more when you are exchanging a huge sum of money. I changed at the airport because i didn't want to stop to do anything outside but go straight to my driver. I also needed cash to buy some snacks and food on the way.
Excellent video.
❤❤❤
Thanks for sharing Bayo. Hope you’re enjoying your stay. Our people with all their arguments, even coming from abroad they still show who they are.
Btw- Any good airbnb you can recommend in Lekki area that is located in a very Secured and Safe Gated Estate?
yes plenty! Check out my airbnb in lagos playlist. I also plan to acquire 6 - 10 of them soon!
Lovely and God bless
Thank you!
I want to visit Lagos so bad!!! This would be my first visit to Africa. However, people discourage me from traveling to Nigeria. I’ve traveled to India alone. So, with proper planning, I believe I can do it. What do you think? Btw, thank you for this info!!! 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Wish you could go with me I am going in september alone
@@martiroy1769 o really???
Yes ma’am my family tells me same thing but going to do it
@@martiroy1769 I can understand…..just be vigilant.
Hi, when are thinking of traveling to Nigeria?
The Lagos airport is a no-no for me, I have had to use that airport once when I travel to the US, but the experience was not worth it. The international airport in Abuja is way better.
But how far is that airport by car from Lagos?
@@didi7680 Well, i leave in Abuja, i decided to use the Lagos airport because international flight tickets from lagos are way cheaper. Apparently it aint worth the stress.
I definitely will get with you when I need an uber
oh no, not with me. just use the app
I just bought my ticket I’m going by myself I’m American I’m a little wary now I’m trying to find out how to do this Visa it seems like the website is always down how do I do the visa do I do it on arrival do I fill it out on the computer and pay for it or do I pay them when I get there I don’t live in Atlanta or Washington where I can just going pick up a visa so I’m really confused on how all this works every time I ask any of my Nigerian friends they all have different ways of how they did it and none of them sound easy
Thank you so much for the kind words, support and appreciation
Flying to Lagos Nigeria in June from the uk 🇬🇧 but I’m having trouble with registry on the Nigerian international travel portal what do you recommend me to do?
I loved your video but I don’t know if I could take the airport harassment. You are very good. I love to travel but know have difficulty walking, how do the handle wheelchair travelers? 👍🏼
I think they are friendly towards wheelchair travelers. it is just part of the game for now.
Hi😄 Planning a trip to Nigeria sometime this year for the FiRST time. I’m nervous 😊Please explain time difference from the US to Nigeria when flying there and back, thanks in advance.
Hi Aide - Hello. Welcome. I would recommend using google for this. it depends on which area of the US you are residing.
Thank you kindly for replying! I will do as you suggest. Your videos are helpful by all means! I see you visited Manhattan KS a few years ago😀 Have you flown to Abuja?
nice
Question, so when you went to Nigeria, did you need both passport, Nigerian passport and a visa enter Nigeria
you dont need a visa if you have a nigerian passport.
