Uber from Lagos airport - any experiences?
Anyone tried it/is it easy?
[I've got a local SIM already and have Ubered in Lagos before without issue, it's really just logistics of finding the driver at the airport]
Thanks

Done it twice. The last time two weeks ago. The main problem is getting a suitable meeting point especially if you have luggage.The best description for meeting is what is called "under the First bridge"' This is under the overpass to the departure drop stage to the left as you exit arrival. The location is usually chaotic and extremely difficult to identify your ride. You have to maintain constant phone contact with the driver.
I usually avoid this problem by using the car hire service Verite located just as soon as you clear customs. They have cars parked near the "First Bridge"
