💰 How far does your money go?
A pint in London now costs £6-7. In Lagos, a plate of jollof rice with chicken at a local buka costs about £2-3, a few skewers of suya £1-2 and a bottle of Star beer around £1. Hotels are the exception: international hotels in Lagos are not cheap, so the savings come from food and getting around.
☀️ The Weather
February is the dry season in Lagos. Expect highs of 32-33°C, nights around 25°C and high humidity, with very little rain. The harmattan wind can bring a dusty haze in January and February.
