2_ Accommodation: You will need to know which type of accommodation is more suitable for you.If you are more than 2 persons traveling or  wish to have a kitchen where you can buy your grocery and cook,then a rented apartment.If you will be eating outside then a hotel room will be ok for you.Make sure you make a budget for your accommodation because hotel bills climb up very easily

3) Location: Which part of Nigeria you will be visiting is very important.You need to know how close your embassy and clinic is to where you will be staying to make your movement
easier.

should also find out how long it will take to file the  necessary documents for full custody of your child and what documentations your embassy will require.

5) Safety: Your safety is very important.The southern part of Nigeria for example Lagos is very safe to stay ,live and work.
