Lagos

Not the Lagos in Portugal!

If your idea of a digital nomad paradise is Houston, Texas - lots of highways but even more traffic, strip malls/clubs, oil and gas, cowboy attitude - but you need 50 times the chaos, you might like Lagos. It's culturally interesting and the local food is delicious, but it's stuffy and hot, traffic is bad, lots of power cuts, no cafe/coworking scene (Nigerian tech scene is decently sized, but unfortunately full of grinders who work at home for peanuts), expensive for anything foreign, quite dangerous outside a few select neighborhoods, poor dating scene - thanks but no thanks. Small parts of Lagos are a playground for the uber-wealthy to drink expensive liquor and flash cash, the rest is an exercise in masochism.
