As promised, here’s a thread on how to get a visa to the Republic of Korea from Nigeria.
Overall verdit of the process: simple & straight forward.
Cost: N20k for a short term visa (less than 90k)
Timeline: 10 -15 working days (depending on how busy they are)

You can apply for the visa from either Lagos or Abuja. For Abuja, you’d need to book an appointment with VFS but for Lagos, you can do a walk-in. I chose to apply in Lagos.
You need the usual documents including proof of funds to show you can afford your trip. I’m not sure of the exact amount but enough to cover your airfare, accommodation and spending i presume. From my research accommodation is most places are relatively affordable.
Once your docs are gathered, go to the office in Lagos, it is on 26 Oyinkan Abayomi (fr Queens Drive). Make sure not to go between 12noon and 2pm because it is lunch break.
The collection officer will check all your documents and would let you know if something is missing. Something was from mine and so I had to bring it the next day. There were no queues on either day.
The visa fees are paid by bank deposit (they will give you a pre-filled teller). If you make a transfer, you’ll need to bring a print out of the receipt when you are coming to collect.
Please note that the 10 days starts to count from when the funds have been received.

Once application has been processed, you’ll be contacted via phone to come pick up your passport. You can also check the status of your application here:

To give you an idea on cost, here’s ticket cost from Lagos. I used a date in July so a date father away might be cheaper. Hotels in Seoul.
For hotels, I’d seen decent looking places for $60 a night.
