- Nigeria ↗Check visa and entry rules for your passport with the Nigeria Immigration Service or a Nigerian mission; most visitors need a visa arranged before travel.
- Nigeria ↗Governments advise against all or all but essential travel to a number of Nigerian states; check your own government's advice for each state on your route.
- Nigeria ↗Check the yellow-fever vaccination certificate rules for Nigeria before you fly; carry the certificate with your passport.
- Lagos area ↗Check your government’s advice on Lagos State and on the roads you plan to use; keep to the areas and routes it allows.
- Lagos ↗Do not take an unbooked taxi at the airport or on the street: arrange every ride through your hotel, host or a ride-hailing app, and share the plate with someone.

- Lagos ↗Keep a low profile: phones and cameras out of sight, no walking after dark, and no displays of cash or jewellery.
