Good luck to the VS crews when they start this route!
Granted, the flight time may be relatively short , but that 6 hours onboard is pretty hellish in the cabin - it takes alot to get used to the apparent arrogance that is directed at You.
The first time I went to Lagos, I was horrified to see an armed guard riding on the outside of the crew bus.
As mentioned before , there is always the threat of kidnap, and i believe over the years this has happened on at least 2 occasions,with crew being held captive in the mountains.
Finally, and importantly,the threat of malaria is ever present in Nigeria, again, I believe since the 767 started operating to Entebbe/Abuja in the last year ,at least 3-5 flight crew have succumbed to this deadly disease <some cerebral> ,and with very few crew taking medication <due to side effects>
,the chances remain high if you choose to ignore this health advice.
The bar is O-K in the Sheraton ,and to most crew is the only consolation for much needed drinks after arrival !!!
Try and enjoy - just take great care.
