Nigeria's purpose-built federal capital (replaced Lagos as administrative seat in 1991) — laid out as a planned city centered on Aso Rock. Central Business District (the Wuse and Maitama sectors) is where most expats and diplomats base; Asokoro is the high-end residential anchor. Nigeria has no DNV; tourist e-Visa applies (with prior approval). The structural draws are meaningfully safer-than-Lagos environment (the security gap is real, not perceived), cleaner air, and central-Nigeria geographic access. The structural friction is high pricing relative to other African capitals and political-security volatility.

Editorial estimates. Not financial advice. The 4% rule is a planning anchor, not a guarantee — sequence-of-returns risk and tax-jurisdiction friction (US-LLC / FEIE / state residency) can move the real number meaningfully. See our expat tax directory for the cross-border side of the math.
