I took this route through Nigeria at the end of November
Hello,
I took the route from Niger-Nigeria-Cameroon via Madiguiri at the end of November with no problem. I was travelling with some Dutch people in a Land Cruiser at the time and it was all fine (except for the Land Cruiser getting stuck in a bog!).
We crossed from Niger to Nigeria at Diffa, (no problems or bribes). Then crossed Nigeria via Madiguiri and entered Cameroon in the far north (sorry, can't remember the name of the entry point).
You can read more about it on my website (address below) on the Africa Journal page; but basically it was all fine. Cameroon entry was a bit chaotic and we had to buy very expensive insurance, but there was nothing untoward.
Also, another Brit on a bike came through that way not long after me, and it was fine for him too.
Cheers,
Lois
