Things Every Nigerian Traveller Should Know
May 1, 2026 • Ijoba

A few real ones, just from us
✅Your Naira will need to become something else — avoid airport currency exchange desks, their rates are almost always the worst, no jokes. A dollar domiciliary account will save you significantly on conversion fees. And please, stop converting everything back to Naira in your head, just enjoy the trip, abeg.
✅Arrive at the airport early — Three hours before an international flight is not too much. Some of us have the bad habit of leaving for the airport one hour to flight time — one day that flight will leave you behind😏. Security and documentation checks from Nigeria can take longer than expected, don’t learn that the hard way.
✅You will be asked questions at immigration — This is completely normal. Know your hotel address, have your return ticket ready, and carry printed copies of your booking and itinerary. When you book with us, all of that is organised and ready before you even leave your home.
✅Nigerian food will call you, Embrace the local cuisine — That’s genuinely half the experience. But a small stash of your favourite seasoning (pepper, salt, sauces) never hurt anyone. We understand, we don’t judge🤭.
