What you can look forward to:

• reviews have "improved" in recent years, but let's not get carried away there are still problems
• apparently it is now "clean"
• you may need to pay some bribes
• your passport is retained to be photocopied
• false accusations, murders, robberies, fights, rumours of passengers being mugged on the tarmac
• Don't drink the water
• Overflowing toilets
• You'll want to read these reviews even if you are not travelling to Lagos.  These will make you appreciate your own "horror" stories a little more.

"I visited Lagos Murtula Mohammed International Airport recently flying in from a regional destination and flying out a couple of days later back to Europe.  The airport has improved enormously and is tolerable in itself. However as with the rest of Lagos any travellers primary fears should be towards personal security with Taxi travel to and from the city. Taxi's are a serious problem - and some 80 percent of violent crime perpetrated against foreigners occurs in Taxis. My advice would be to either have a local friend collect you or to ask a Nigerian official to help you find a cab. Once found, make sure you take down the taxi numbers, and number plate and leave with official at airport. Make sure the taxi driver knows you have done this - as then he/she will know they can be caught should they try anything, as carrying guns and knives is very common."
