Travel adapter from Brazil to Nigeria

⚠️

Adapter Required

Yes — coming from Brazil, you will need a travel adapter for Nigeria. Brazil uses Type C/Type N plugs, and Nigeria uses Type G, so the pin shapes will not fit any wall socket. The mains frequency is also different (60 Hz vs 50 Hz). This rarely matters for electronics but can affect motor-driven devices like clocks and shavers.
