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.
