Unfortunately the visa entry process for Nigeria is very d manding for US and EU citizens.. I know of this first hand and could never ask for this seriously.. but it does speak of very strained relations and many issues that do need to be considered.
@lordjames mentioned S Africa.. but it’s too far for most as well.

For WA, think Ghana would be the most viable choice based on language, visa, safety and getting tech through customs considerations.

yup just ask @mcsamm and @desmond41 and @blackman @masterroshi Americans and EU citizens will have no problem flying to Ghana, and honestly Nigeria should be no problem either they wont turn down western tourist visas, you just get a plane ticket and they stamp ur passport, u usually get a month or two or 3 sometimes 6 but honestly Ghana is where we need to go its the safest and most business friendly and all the Ghanian steemians are just waiting for us

@surfyogi man its really sad ,i made use of same agency too ,i was sponsored by @dimimp but sadly the process failed ,hopefully next year would get better .
