hi
I have just returned from my solo trip by motorbike down west Africa. you really don't need to too concerned by Nigeria. I was apprehensive about it but had a great time there, found the people friendly and welcoming and even spent a fun and safe weekend in Lagos. Most important thing is don't go north. I assume you will be crossing via Benin so just will have no need to go further north. I crossed at Seme which is fairly hectic but not as bad as its reputation.
Its worth having a day or 2 stop over in Calabar, beautiful town and a great place to get your DRC visa. I'd also recommend going to Cameroon via the Ikom/Memfe route and then Bemenda down to Yaoundé. lovely route through the mountains and decent roads
you will enjoy Nigeria
