I am Nigerian who living in the U.S.A for the last 30 years. I have not been home since 1990. I do not have my Nigerian Passport. I have a U.S passport which is current. I need help with these issues: What do I need to know about Airport workers, immigration,etc? Are my bags safe or should I bother taking more than a personal bag? Do I need to obtain a Nigerian Visa? Renting a car in Lagos for 2 weeks- what to expect with driver's license, driving and payment method? Cell phone usage -accesibility, etc. And any advice you can share with me. Thanks a million guys. I must say I am a little apprehensive going home.

i am an american and just arrived in Lagos for the 1st time. If you are a Nigerian citizen, its probably a good idea to have a nigerian passport- it is cheaper than obtaining a VISA and the lines will be faster at the airport. I travelled with lots of bags and there was no problem witht hem being stolen or tampered with. Buy small locks to put on the zipper of all your luggage.

This place is amazing! I was also afraid(more nervous) but the people here are warm and friendly - and there is so much that is probably different from when you were here last.

I was suprised to find out my cell phone works here - 3G network.
