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.
