Come into my house with shoes on and you'll be lucky to leave alive

Canada is labelled as shoes off but we also have slippers.

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

For me I have slippers which are worn often but it's not expected that anyone inside wear them. Most people just wear socks if they come to visit. And myself I go barefoot unless my feet get cold then I grab the slippers.

    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.
