I actually ordered a Solar Powered Power bank from Amazon that can charge 3 devices at a time and it also has a flashlight/ torch light. I also bought a pop up mosquito net that goes on top of your bed, no strings or tying it up required... also bought this from Amazon.
Bless your heart. , I won't buy any electronics on Amazon. Too much sellers thar are not regulated. Don't want any explosion on my face.
Don’t even attempt that solar power thing. I tried and failed 😞 Best to buy a surge protector and some power banks.
@@afrikanheritage99 that comment made me scream 🤣🤣🤣
Hat,sunglasses ,rechargeable hand fan should be packed as well
Awesome stuff :) I moved to Enugu from Philly and I brought a lot of goodies that are good for camping. Like rechargeable bulbs :)
*your favorite Philly girl 🇺🇸 , in Enugu Nigeria 🇳🇬*
Never been to Enugu. WOW thats amazing that you moved from Philly to Enugu. How are you finding it?
Rechargeable bulbs are a necessity, YES!!! Thanks for sharing.
@@SassyFunke it’s very good but like you said you have to mentally prepare and patience is key the pace is very slow in Enugu. So pack patience.
I never got a yellow card and never been asked and I’ve traveled for past 4 years but whatever 😢 I’ve seen them ask someone next to me who was coming from Liberia
I'm getting married in July in Enugu lol my fiance lives there
I love that you mentioned power bank!!! My goodness I thought it was just my phone that was draining fast! Thankfully I did have one with me when visiting from USA. Also I would pack pepto bismuth for diarrhea because of the different foods.
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Good recommendation
What is d equivalent of pepto bismuth in UK
I love this short video that clearly brings every knowledgeable idea about Nigeria, this is some great advice am Kenyan looking foward to travel to lagos.
Thanks for your videos!
Thank you for the much-needed info, I am Kenyan and planning to come over for a work-related conference in October.
You are really great, and entertaining as well 😀 Your wisdom and experience are appreciated 👏
Thank you Tim for the lovely feedback 🙏🏾
Thanks can't stop watching your videos so informative 🍷🍾
So happy to hear this. Let me know of topics you want me to cover ☺️
Thanks for sharing
First time coming across your channel and subscribed
Great info.
Thanks for watching!
True talk 👍
This is awesome and I needed this video this time round since am planning to visit Nigeria before end of year. Kudos to u sassy.👏👏👏
You’re welcome Annie! Let me know other videos I should do.
What's the latest about international passport
Medication and the proper storage for it. That should be in your carry-on or personal bag (purse). I have to pack sleeping pills for sure. It's hard for me to sleep in places outside of my house.
#sassyfunke....you got it All right💯🤗
Thank you 🙏🏾
I think my number it’s patience!!!!. Cause the traffic just to go somewhere it’s too much and I remembered u did mentioned it before but now I know why. I didn’t even want to go nowhere just to think how long it will take us to get there. But maybe the next time I will try my best. But other than that I enjoyed Lagos and their beautiful people!!
Yes patience is VERY necessary.
Your videos are very helpful! Thank you. Do I need a polio vaccine also??? Please help
Thanks Ms sassy how about mosquitoes repellent, cortizone anti diarrhea medicine
Hi sassy .... I really love ur video ... Am one of ur biggest fans ...
Please my question is this ..!!!
How do I know I booked a window seat while traveling ...or how do I get a window seat while traveling...???
Thank you so much for your awesome advice. Do l still need a visa, if travelling with dual passports? I live in Norway and have always used visas on my travels? Dual passports are allowed now in Norway, so l am planning to travel with both passports. Please do l still need a visa?
is that book @ the library
Patience and common sense are not items to pack.. but I get what you mean
Great job sassy, I'd like to add few items. Deet spray for mosquitoes, pepto bismol for stomach and for get your credit cards if from USA I never found anyone who would take them.
Thanks Janet your sharing your own list 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Deet is dangerous.
Hi Sassy! Great tips! Do logos Nigeria airport has Wifi inside the airport?
Yes but I wouldn't rely on it
@@SassyFunke Ok
I couldn’t connected it when I was there 😔
MALARIA MEDICINE TOO!! IF YOURE NOT USED TO NIGERIA!
When did the yellow fever immunization requirement started? I have been traveling to Nigeria and never asked about this vaccination by either airline or Nigerian immigration.
When was the last time you travelled to Nigeria? I also saw that requirement on the goverment's site in the UK. But your comment drew my attention because i really do not wanna get it
@@jessiejordan7791 it’s not required I got it for no reason they don’t ask for verification of it
It seems that 98% say the yellow fever vaccination is required, but other specific sites, like cdc? say it's only required when coming from a location that has yellow fever. I really don't want to take it. I wish I could get a straight answer.
I don’t understand the yellow fever card thing...is it now required with PCR test again before entering Nigeria now?Thank you Sassy Funke❤️
Not if you have a Nigerian passport.
Funke if you don’t win Lagos person of the year I’m calling the police! 🤣👸🏾💯
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Thank you. Very kind to say 😊
Thanks to you and your subscribers, l am a better prepared traveler. Please buy travel insurance, a converter, pack your daily medications, buy OTC antibiotics and anti diarrhea meds, bandages etc. Have a safe trip.
I love this list☺️
Thanks for reminding us about sunscreen. Those UV rays have no respect for our Melanin🤷🏽♀️🤷🏾♀️🤷🏿♀️
You’re welcome. Yes those UV rays have zero respect 😩
Small naira money? If we have. Just in case u need it inside the murtala airport. 🙄 The officer told me it was 2k if wanna use the trolley. I forgot ...1k or 2k. I said i dont hv then he said dollar is accepted. I walked away
If you had to pick ONE THING to advise for someone to pack for a first time visit to Lagos, WHAT WOULD IT BE? Leave a comment below.
Don't also forget to subscribe and get your sister to 50,000 subscribers bit.ly/3biKEiK ❤❤❤
1. Toilet Paper (most sold in county is inadequate an many areas have little to none, more important than sunscreen). 2. Bed sheets an pillow slip, no matter how nice the hotel or Airbnb, high probabilities of irritating material that will cause rashes. 3. Electric adapters, or universals with surge protectors (this can be purchased locally but buying local will signal you came from abroad). 4. Large denomination currency. (When exchanging for local currency you need to have $100 bills, £50 notes or largest common bills within foreign currency for exchange purposes. The bigger bills get better rate.) Updated prepaid ride sharing account, (Uber used for safe commute from airport for foreign travelers, only way to safely leave airport as foreign traveler if you are traveling alone or nobody meeting you.) SIDE NOTE: People traveling with a Nigerian Passport DO NOT require yellow fever vaccine. It is prohibited by law for you to be denied access to your own country for such a reason, the vaccine is required ONLY for foreign travelers.
@@Naija4K Omoooooooo that toilet paper one, it’s like you have travelled with my mother before 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Pack TWO power banks.
Love this!! Yes!!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Just get a 50000mAh power bank. You should be fine with that
What are all the vaccines required in order to travel to Nigeria?
Sassy's recent video indicates no vaccinations are required to enter Nigeria. But that video only referred to Covid. I wish I could get a straight answer on vaccines required to get to Nigeria.
If you are a dual citizen,and your Nigeria passport as expired is it a must you renew it?
If you want to use it, yes you have to renew it. You may be allowed to use it for a trip back to Nigeria that is it.
Antibacterial solution
Antibacterial solutions attack the good bacteria and immune system.
Is flight moving right now to Lagos we hear that Turkish air is not moving to Nigeria right now what do you say about it
theres lockdown n turkey, plus any nigerians have to quarantine in government facility, check her previous video,
Yes my friend left 2weeks ago
A content suggestion. As a UK citizen who has never been to Lagos before, I am about to start a work contract there soon. What is the best way/place to change money into Naira. My employer will be paying me in dollars via my UK currency account. How easy would it be to get a bank account there with an ATM card? Any advice on exchanges rates and best places/methods would be great as I will be there for at least one year 😊
I filmed a video on changing money locally a few days ago...currently editing. Will be live early next week 😊
Please am planning of moving to Lagos too but will love to secure a job in Nigeria before moving, how did you get your job beforeoving? Any advice pls?
@@titioluwaadun7071 I was offered a work contract in my area of expertise which happened to be in Nigeria, so the work determines my location and not the other way around. Sorry I can't help further.
@@titioluwaadun7071 Titi it’s best that you find your way to Twitter and start talking to locals within your field. Don’t let them know too much about you or that you are moving there. Also see if there are any international organisations that are in the country for your field and offer to intern.
Travelled back and forth to so called Nigeria severally over the years, I cannot recall being asked to provide a yellow fever card upon return on the numerous occasions, I am very sure I cannot locate the card now anyway.
Some airlines actually enforce it. In recent months, travelers from the USA have been rejected boarding flights to Nigeria because they didn't have one. I agree its not requested all the time but better prepared.
@@SassyFunke with so much red tape added costs, travelling into countries and the constanly changing regulations and rules with airlines it maybe time to find alternative methods of travel
True, I’ve lived in the U.K. for over 30 years and travelled to Nigeria almost every year. Not once was a yellow card demanded. Virgin, BA, etc. don’t even bring the matter up.
So called Nigeria? What exactly do mean?
@@SassyFunke Can you be specific here, what airline?
I don’t have passport and Ghana Card🤗😭
Yes really want to understand
If a minor neeed yellow card to enter Nigeria or not
Can we have fresh information
Thank you so much
The minor holds USA passport
Parent are nigetian
Be streetwise Nigerian style.
Agreed!
Planning to travel to Nigeria this year when it's safe. Have had all my vaccines. But because of age can't get the yellow fever vaccine...will this be problem for me??
Call your airline. They will be able to provide more info. The yellow fever card sometimes is waived
@@SassyFunke thank you. Love your videos. Also have your book..❤
Yellow fever vaccine and Covid-19 test?
Sis, can someone enter nigeria without yellow card??
It doesn't seem yellow fever card is required, but everybody says we have to get it. 😖
But from ur own side do u think it's going to be possible until 10th May
whats going to be possible?
Dis Nigeria to Dubai case of flight
@@kelechipizundu5863 Follow traveltonaija on instagram. Any news, you will hear it first there
Please 🙏 help us check I will add u der now
I'm following u der but I'm not seeing any updates
Pack anti malaria tablets or buy and use immediately after your arrival otherwise you will be sorry for yourself - malaria is no fun!
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I agree, however some actually require you to start the medication a few days before traveling.
If you can get to Medchem (Normally in the shopping centres. Ask them for the malaria tablet that you take every two weeks. It’s about 5k and it works.
It’s in a small white box with blue writing. All those European ones that cost £100 are nonsense.
All my life, I had thought Yellow fever vaccine was for foreigners traveling into Africa., that we Africans don't need it since we were vaccinated at one point and we were traveling back home anyway. So, now my question is can I get vaccinated in Europe even if I had it in the past got the vaccine as a kid in Nigeria...
I have had it a few times because I lost my certificates 😞😞 It’s fine to get vaccinated again.
yellow fever $200
But can you use your foreign phones in Lagos?
Yes you can. If you want to use a local sim, make sure your phone is unlocked
When I travel to Ghana no one ask me for my yellow fever
It is not every-time they do but it is an actual requirement, perhaps not enforced at times.
Same with Nigerian too. I am shocked to see this here. I have lived in America for 25 years and travel home every two years, I have never being required by any airline and Nigerian immigration to take this vaccination and never heard of anyone talked about this.
You can't legally demand demand people to take vaccination.
@@SassyFunke But you also said, the airliners won't let you fly without a prove of this vaccination. They don't even demand prove of Covid-19 vaccine.
Hard to believe this.
Yes not being able to board the plane without proof of a yellow fever card is pretty serious, especially if it's not actually required. Mixed information online is so intimidating when trying to go to Nigeria for the first time.
Pack mosquito killer
