You may experience occasional water or electric shortages though usually apartments for rent almost certainly include generators.
Shopping for clothes is ridiculously cheap in Nigeria, especially if you’re an expat coming from the western countries. Quality jeans like Levi’s will cost you even less than 20$, quality running shoes of brands like Nike cost around 50$, while simpler pieces of clothing for summer like short dresses and shirts cost around 25$!
