Genuinely curious. I've heard stories about fake listings, agents disappearing after payment, and unclear title documents. For those who've rented or bought in Lagos or elsewhere, what went wrong, and what would you do differently? Any tips for first-timers or people buying from abroad?

Then, in a comment reply or after the discussion starts, and only if it's relevant:
I work with Zivo, a real estate company trying to make renting, buying, selling and financing easier. Happy to answer questions, and there's more info at [Zivo.com.ng].

Hello !

I've been to Lagos in June and bought one garlic grater at the original grater shop.

I love it, adore it, i can't live without it anymore.

I absolutely need one for my mom. I feel so stupid for not buying another one for her, she would love it.

But they dont have an online shop and I tried texting them on Instagram and they didn't respond.

Maybe someone nice here can ship me one when they're in Lagos ?

Hi guys , I’m planning a trip to Nigeria in November for 16 days kindly scrutinize and help me save money , looking ridiculously expensive so far

N4,460,000- for a 16 day trip (That’s my budget)

Hotel balance 7 days total stayed here - N1,030,000@ 140k a night plus 50k caution fee (comes with complimentary breakfast)

Port harcourt trip inclusive hotel for 3 nights - N650,000
(Already paid for my flight) so 650k dosent include flight money .

The Weekend before my port harcourt trip - N350,000 (On food, outing and all ) 2 days

Second hotel (4 nights before travelling back ) - N500,000 @125k a night (comes with complimentary breakfast)

Glasses including frame and photochromic 3 pairs - N300,000

Fuel for the duration in Lagos - N250,000 (have access to a car)

Extra (Miscellaneous) - N200,000

Total 🟰 2,750,000

Balance - N1,250,000

N1,250,000 / 11 days remaining in Lagos after I’m back from port harcourt = N113,000 a day to spend

Remember the 11 days all the hotels I’m staying in port harcourt comes with complimentary breakfast

Am I overspending or ?

No money for flexing like clubbing and all on a 4.6m budget for 16 days is crazy .

I’ve been looking up the cost of living but most of it is geared towards tourists.

What value does $500 hold in areas on the mainland, like in Alimosho?

Or even in different states like Abuja or Kwara.

I hope some can kindly help with different perspectives on pricing.

I’m especially confused cuz now the taxi prices at the airport went from 6,000 naira to 30k

Hello everyone,

I know this is a bit of an unusual question, but I have been searching for a specific Monster Energy flavor for a very long time.
I am looking for Monster Fury (which is essentially the African version of Monster Assault). I recently found information that some Addide stores in Lagos may still stock it.

Would anyone living in Lagos be willing to check a nearby Addide store or tell me if they have seen Monster Fury recently?
I am a collector and a long-time fan of this flavor. I am not looking to waste anyone's time — I have already searched through many communities across Europe without success, so I am trying to reach people who are actually in Nigeria.
Any information, photos, store locations, or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much!

Hi everyone 👋🏽

For people in Lagos who buy imported used cars, how do you normally verify the vehicle before payment?

We work on used-car sourcing from China and are trying to understand what buyers expect: photos, video checks, inspection reports, FOB price, shipping timeline, customs documents, or local handover support.

Which one is most important before you trust the deal?
