    Although not sure about Nigeria, are slippers and flip flops like expected to be worn or just available?

    In my (limitted) experience, its expected. When I visited a friend who was Nigerian, they offered me slippers to wear in the house, and they felt uncomfortable going barefoot in my (Canadian) house.

    Edit: Talked to my Nigerian friend, shoes off is expected, and slippers are just a personal preference. The map is just wrong.

      Yeah that’s probably why it’s labelled as shoes on then I imagine and why Canada is labelled shoes off since any sort of foot covering is expected / not expected.

        Correction: asked my friend, and shoes off is the normal expectation in Nigeria. Slippers are just a personal preference, so the chart is just wrong.
