Sorry, didn't know Nigeria was a volatile place to be! But just out of curiosity, what's wrong with Saudi Arabia? One of my friend visited Jeddah a year back and she only talked about the places she visited and didn't mention about facing any problem.O ya she did say there were strict rules on clothing. But other than that, have things changed there recently?

Saudi Arabia is too restrictive on filming and if a f/f or homosexual team raced in that country, there would be problems. Also Saudi Arabia is very Islamic and officials would be unhappy if many places like the airports, government buildings, and religious sites were filmed. Also The US State Dept has Saudi Arabia on their travel warning list. So my advice to anyone who is about to post their wishlists, do your research online to make sure that country you want is safe and stable.
