I found the Nigerians I was working with to be great. The service in the Sofitel was also very good. All were very courteous. These are nice people, and I look forward to going back. Lagos is split up between a mainland portion and island portions. The islands are Victoria and Ikoyi. The islands are where most of the foreign businesses are located. Lagos is very crowded, and the traiffic has to be the most congested in the world, even more so than Bangkok.

The security concerns are a bit overdone, and I think the picture that is painted of Nigeria is exagerrated. The concern is anti-crime, not anti-terrorism. Nevertheless, a good time can be had for the adventurous type provided caution is exercised. Mainland Lagos is not for the weak.
