Awesome stuff :) I moved to Enugu from Philly and I brought a lot of goodies that are good for camping. Like rechargeable bulbs :) *your favorite Philly girl 🇺🇸 , in Enugu Nigeria 🇳🇬*

[@SassyFunke]

Never been to Enugu. WOW thats amazing that you moved from Philly to Enugu. How are you finding it? Rechargeable bulbs are a necessity, YES!!! Thanks for sharing.

[@KellysYoutubeAccount]

@@SassyFunke it’s very good but like you said you have to mentally prepare and patience is key the pace is very slow in Enugu. So pack patience. I never got a yellow card and never been asked and I’ve traveled for past 4 years but whatever 😢 I’ve seen them ask someone next to me who was coming from Liberia

[@janet9070]

I'm getting married in July in Enugu lol my fiance lives there

Thanks can't stop watching your videos so informative 🍷🍾

[@SassyFunke]

So happy to hear this. Let me know of topics you want me to cover ☺️

[@henryomede2181]

What are all the vaccines required in order to travel to Nigeria?

[@mountainwoodcamp1638]

Sassy's recent video indicates no vaccinations are required to enter Nigeria. But that video only referred to Covid. I wish I could get a straight answer on vaccines required to get to Nigeria.

[@anniemarjorie3210]

This is awesome and I needed this video this time round since am planning to visit Nigeria before end of year. Kudos to u sassy.👏👏👏

[@SassyFunke]

You’re welcome Annie! Let me know other videos I should do.

What's the latest about international passport

[@abiolafernandez8974]

I actually ordered a Solar Powered Power bank from Amazon that can charge 3 devices at a time and it also has a flashlight/ torch light. I also bought a pop up mosquito net that goes on top of your bed, no strings or tying it up required... also bought this from Amazon.

[@afrikanheritage99]

Bless your heart. , I won't buy any electronics on Amazon. Too much sellers thar are not regulated. Don't want any explosion on my face.

[@ladyn5273]

Don’t even attempt that solar power thing. I tried and failed 😞 Best to buy a surge protector and some power banks.

Small naira money? If we have. Just in case u need it inside the murtala airport. 🙄 The officer told me it was 2k if wanna use the trolley. I forgot ...1k or 2k. I said i dont hv then he said dollar is accepted. I walked away

[@samueloluwatosin1709]

[@michaelfarmhand]

Pack anti malaria tablets or buy and use immediately after your arrival otherwise you will be sorry for yourself - malaria is no fun!

[@SassyFunke]

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@abiolafernandez8974]

I agree, however some actually require you to start the medication a few days before traveling.

[@ladyn5273]

If you can get to Medchem (Normally in the shopping centres. Ask them for the malaria tablet that you take every two weeks. It’s about 5k and it works. It’s in a small white box with blue writing. All those European ones that cost £100 are nonsense.

[@Ama_ladybird]

I don’t have passport and Ghana Card🤗😭

[@uplayitIlisten]

yellow fever $200

[@thatwakandaboy]

All my life, I had thought Yellow fever vaccine was for foreigners traveling into Africa., that we Africans don't need it since we were vaccinated at one point and we were traveling back home anyway. So, now my question is can I get vaccinated in Europe even if I had it in the past got the vaccine as a kid in Nigeria...

[@SassyFunke]

I have had it a few times because I lost my certificates 😞😞 It’s fine to get vaccinated again.

[@ladyj54queen98]

I love that you mentioned power bank!!! My goodness I thought it was just my phone that was draining fast! Thankfully I did have one with me when visiting from USA. Also I would pack pepto bismuth for diarrhea because of the different foods.

[@SassyFunke]

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Good recommendation

[@eunicesolanke1567]

What is d equivalent of pepto bismuth in UK

[@graceazuewah]

MALARIA MEDICINE TOO!! IF YOURE NOT USED TO NIGERIA!

[@afrikanheritage99]

When did the yellow fever immunization requirement started? I have been traveling to Nigeria and never asked about this vaccination by either airline or Nigerian immigration.

[@jessiejordan7791]

When was the last time you travelled to Nigeria? I also saw that requirement on the goverment's site in the UK. But your comment drew my attention because i really do not wanna get it

[@breezy1906]

@@jessiejordan7791 it’s not required I got it for no reason they don’t ask for verification of it

[@mountainwoodcamp1638]

It seems that 98% say the yellow fever vaccination is required, but other specific sites, like cdc? say it's only required when coming from a location that has yellow fever. I really don't want to take it. I wish I could get a straight answer.

[@queenbrownrux1823]

Hat,sunglasses ,rechargeable hand fan should be packed as well

[@madedochampagnie2424]

Tell me about patience. It begins with applying for a visa.

[@shadebabalola7941]

I don’t understand the yellow fever card thing...is it now required with PCR test again before entering Nigeria now?Thank you Sassy Funke❤️

[@Naija4K]

Not if you have a Nigerian passport.

Funke if you don’t win Lagos person of the year I’m calling the police! 🤣👸🏾💯

[@SassyFunke]

🤣🤣🤣🤣 Thank you. Very kind to say 😊

[@Akakatang]

Medication and the proper storage for it. That should be in your carry-on or personal bag (purse). I have to pack sleeping pills for sure. It's hard for me to sleep in places outside of my house.

[@ericaalexandrovnaadebayo4392]

Yes really want to understand If a minor neeed yellow card to enter Nigeria or not Can we have fresh information Thank you so much

[@ericaalexandrovnaadebayo4392]

[@oluwaseunadebayo5767]

Sis, can someone enter nigeria without yellow card??

[@mountainwoodcamp1638]

It doesn't seem yellow fever card is required, but everybody says we have to get it. 😖

[@margaretadegoke7151]

Yellow fever vaccine and Covid-19 test?

[@minervavaz9887]

I think my number it’s patience!!!!. Cause the traffic just to go somewhere it’s too much and I remembered u did mentioned it before but now I know why. I didn’t even want to go nowhere just to think how long it will take us to get there. But maybe the next time I will try my best. But other than that I enjoyed Lagos and their beautiful people!!

[@SassyFunke]

Yes patience is VERY necessary.

[@Africanbloke]

Pack TWO power banks.

[@SassyFunke]

Love this!! Yes!!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@msjudith4598]

Just get a 50000mAh power bank. You should be fine with that

[@user-144k]

Travelled back and forth to so called Nigeria severally over the years, I cannot recall being asked to provide a yellow fever card upon return on the numerous occasions, I am very sure I cannot locate the card now anyway.

[@SassyFunke]

Some airlines actually enforce it. In recent months, travelers from the USA have been rejected boarding flights to Nigeria because they didn't have one. I agree its not requested all the time but better prepared.

[@user-144k]

@@SassyFunke with so much red tape added costs, travelling into countries and the constanly changing regulations and rules with airlines it maybe time to find alternative methods of travel

[@michaelfarmhand]

True, I’ve lived in the U.K. for over 30 years and travelled to Nigeria almost every year. Not once was a yellow card demanded. Virgin, BA, etc. don’t even bring the matter up.

[@afrikanheritage99]

So called Nigeria? What exactly do mean?

[@afrikanheritage99]

@@SassyFunke Can you be specific here, what airline?

[@jddixon4524]

Thank you so much for your awesome advice. Do l still need a visa, if travelling with dual passports? I live in Norway and have always used visas on my travels? Dual passports are allowed now in Norway, so l am planning to travel with both passports. Please do l still need a visa?

[@anneyemoleydjieagu496]

When I travel to Ghana no one ask me for my yellow fever

[@SassyFunke]

It is not every-time they do but it is an actual requirement, perhaps not enforced at times.

[@afrikanheritage99]

Same with Nigerian too. I am shocked to see this here. I have lived in America for 25 years and travel home every two years, I have never being required by any airline and Nigerian immigration to take this vaccination and never heard of anyone talked about this. You can't legally demand demand people to take vaccination.

[@afrikanheritage99]

@@SassyFunke But you also said, the airliners won't let you fly without a prove of this vaccination. They don't even demand prove of Covid-19 vaccine. Hard to believe this.

[@mountainwoodcamp1638]

Yes not being able to board the plane without proof of a yellow fever card is pretty serious, especially if it's not actually required. Mixed information online is so intimidating when trying to go to Nigeria for the first time.

[@abbysotomi2457]

Thanks to you and your subscribers, l am a better prepared traveler. Please buy travel insurance, a converter, pack your daily medications, buy OTC antibiotics and anti diarrhea meds, bandages etc. Have a safe trip.

[@Naija4K]

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.
