This building, nestled in the north end of the Ifako-Ijaye district, is a throwback from the old British occupation days. It is a spartan stone building that lacks many modern amenities, but its solid construction has lost none of its charm from its early 20th century origins. The building itself would look right at home in Manchester, although most people living in the area would not be able to appreciate its architecture, given that it is completely surrounded by a stone wall spanning the block around it with rusty cast-iron spikes protruding around the top of the wall.

| - They don't hunt humans. They hunt ghouls and other infected. I know this because I was involved in one of their hunts. They needed a local guide who also could perceive the Astral Plane, and who also happened to speak both English and French. I was uniquely qualified for the position. They tracked a group of sasabonsam straight into Abuja lands. By group, I mean over 100 ghouls strong. They wiped out the ghouls to the last individual.
- I've been doing some digging, and the historical membership includes many former African bigwigs, including native son, Wole Soyinka, the first African Nobel laureate . Apparently, he enjoyed hunting.
- And monowire. Don't forget the monowire.
- I heard that they hunt humans.
- So these hunters are good guys then?
- I do not think so. Our hunting party was 10 individuals at the start of the hunt. During the hunt, we took 3 casualties. All 3 were put to death soon after they were injured, in cold blood. My guess is that the hunting party did not want to risk ghoul infection. I did not say anything, for fear of being put to death in the same manner. We are all just potential sport or prey to them. I will say that at least one prominent Lagos Ares corporate headhunter was among our ranks.
- Seriously? Really? Why is it that every single "Hunting Club" in this blasted data haven has a comment stating "I heard that they hunt 'the most dangerous game'"? Isn't the joke old by now?
- Wait, they wiped out 100 ghouls? They must have been carrying some serious mojo or milspec equipment. I'd like to see what the Hunting Club armory looks like.

| - This building, nestled in the north end of the Ifako-Ijaye district, is a throwback from the old British occupation days. It is a spartan stone building that lacks many modern amenities, but its solid construction has lost none of its charm from its early 20th century origins. The building itself would look right at home in Manchester, although most people living in the area would not be able to appreciate its architecture, given that it is completely surrounded by a stone wall spanning the block around it with rusty cast-iron spikes protruding around the top of the wall. * And monowire. Don't forget the monowire.* One-Armed Bandit. Prominent bronzed Gothic letters indicate that this place is the "The Lagos Hunting Club". Faded markings indicate when the place used to be the "Royal Niger Company Hunting and Smoking Club". Inside, you'll find an interior that exudes old wealth and trophies of days gone by. Many heads are mounted on the wall, as well as gilt statues and cups that represent hunting competitions that date back at least a century. In some areas, you'll find honest-to-Ghost old photographs of previous hunters who have used this building as a staging base or a home away from home. * I've been doing some digging, and the historical membership includes many former African bigwigs, including native son, Wole Soyinka, the first African Nobel laureate (for literature in 1986). Apparently, he enjoyed hunting.* Captain Jack Raptor 'The best pirate you've never met!'. Most hunters arrive via ground vehicle, and the Hunting Club runs an exclusive daily shuttle to and from Murtala Airport. The Hunting Club also has a helipad for people who do not trust the Airport (naturally, given the condition of the Airport). Although it must be said that the Hunting Club seems to attract people with a "roughin' it" mindset, so the helipad sees little use. The Lagos Hunting Club has private, closed membership. It is rumored to be invite-only, and that the invite is screened by the current members. If you aren't of the right "pedigree", any other member can blacklist you from joining. The membership is anywhere between 50 to 100 members from all over the world, with only about 30% of the members living at least half of the time in Lagos proper. The support staff for the location is around 20 to 30 members, and they live and work on-site nearly all the time. * I heard that they hunt humans.* Zoraff. * Seriously? Really? Why is it that every single "Hunting Club" in this blasted data haven has a comment stating "I heard that they hunt 'the most dangerous game'"? Isn't the joke old by now?* Snopes. * They don't hunt (meta)humans. They hunt ghouls and other infected. I know this because I was involved in one of their hunts.
