Cargo delivery is a major hassle in many metropolitan areas of Lagos, and is usually a painful process.
Hoodlums known as “AREA BOYS” extort money from delivery crews and can take up an inordinate amount of time before negotiating “fees“. Areas Like Ijora and Lagos Island are particularly difficult as the “boys” can ask for up to 50k Naira before permitting any delivery in their area.
The Police are not necessarily a major harrasment.
Traffic in Lagos add a significant time overhead to operations, so make allowances for road delays.
