 NIGERIA
Visas, Embassies and Borders
In Lome the Nigerian Embassy does not issue any visas to non-residents at all. Plenty of travellers are forced either to ship their cars to I.E. South Africa (about $1000 US) and catch a flight or take the risky route via Niger and Chad.

The difficulty in obtaining Nigerian visas in West Africa may be easing up. I heard that recently they were making it easier. Allegedly for CFA 10,000 in Cotonou, Benin.

Some hassles getting visas, but visa for Nigeria was available same
day (US$34 for Australians, US$20 for South Africans). Chad visa, same
day, two photos and US$10. In Chad, a transit visa for Nigeria can be obtained
- five days US$15, 30 days US$30.
