Coffee shops? There are no cafes in Lagos? That seems incredibly unlikely to me although I've never been there and couldn't prove it.

Until a few years ago, in India, there were road side coffee shops, but they were sold as quick drop-in, drink and go back type of thingy. Not like you go there with friends, spend an hour, have a good time. Now, coffee day has filled the void. I am guessing there is no coffee day/starbucks in Nigeria.

That's not entirely true. Indian Coffee House chain has been around since the 60's. There were also Irani/Parsi cafes in some cities for even longer.

Crazy. As someone who has traveled pretty extensively, I always thought of cafes as near universal in large cities.

I can say there is only one or two in Haiti. There are a few fast food, but most people cook at home or only buy dinner out.

There are numerous coffee shops in Lagos, and Nigeria.
