A useful mental threshold: anything at or under NGN 3500 is a normal price for amala and ewedu in Lagos. Around NGN 2500 is the typical everyday figure. Above NGN 3000 you are paying the visitor rate, whether or not the venue is pleasant.
For context inside Lagos itself: of the 15 things we price here, jollof rice carries the widest visitor markup (NGN 1500–3000 locally against NGN 3500–7000), while fried plantain is priced most consistently across the city. Amala and Ewedu sits closer to the problem end of that scale, so it is worth checking before you buy.
