abuja is a very nice place to stay in nigeria. The cost of living is high compared to other states in nigeria expecially in the area of housing. Food stuff are relatively cheap. You pay as much as $10,000 per annum for a very decent 2-bedroom apartment while serviced 2-bedroom apartment goes for like $15,000 per annum

Hi,
My name is Olu, and I have been hearing a lot about Lagos and NIgeria as a country from most of you foreigners. You all talk about lagos with scam robbers and all that, let me ask you, IS YOUR COUNTRY CRIME OR SCAM FREE? Tell me which country does not have alll that, and I will tell you the country that has perished in crime, scam, and corruption. Common guys, we are all grown up, and there is no where you won't find all this things around the world. Nigeria is the best place to be. I convinced a friend to come down to Nigeria a year ago after she told me of what people and countries said about Nigeria, this was someone i met online, and I never knew before. She came to Nigeria for the first time, and when she came, I was her tour guide, and I made sure that, SHE WAS SAFE THROUGH OUT AND SHE WENT BACK TO CANADA healthy and safe. I just wanted to proove to the world that Nigeria isnt what they think it is... Nigeria is not what you people think it is, ok. You guys should stop spoiling our country for us. If you dont like Nigeria, then why plan to visit.
Thats all I have to say for now, and for the record, I can be anyone's tour guide...I can take you anywhere and safe..So, if any foreigner is planning a trip to Nigeria, a safe and healthy trip, please don't hesitate to contact me on cute_ray_4u@yahoo.com

Nigeria is this, NIgeria is that blah blah blah. If you don't find trouble, then trouble won't find you.
Please inform me before you leave your country, and don't forget to check with your embassy when you come into the country. Goodluck

Could anyone share the information about Kaduna safety and social life there. I am an Indian and coming to wok there for two years and wonder if there are any Indians there. Thanks
Anyone concerned about whether their salary in Nigeria will be enough to cover basic expenses, should have a look at the Expat Arrivals Cost of Living in Nigeria section. It tells you what to expect when it comes to financing accommodation, transport, food, healthcare, schools, etc.

Evening all, i'd like to post a comment on common sense. I've travelled to nearly 80 countries on this planet and i know what "perfectly safe" means and comments like "if you don't find trouble it won't find you" are only made by people who are truly naive or better yet scammers themselves.
When domplomatic offices of over 40 countries post official "warning, essential travel only" or "highly risky territories, inform embassies of your whereabouts" this is not done lightly or for no reason. Yes crime exists everywhere, true, however when crime is made into a business like kidnapping and brutalities are routinely carried out on a day to day basis then its more than just occasional, its habitual. Unless you're taking up a post for an embassy or working for an oil and gass or support engineering job, stay away from risk prone countries that have been war torn for decades.
I got job offer from kawararafa university, wukari, taraba state. friend I want to ask you, how is place for family living. I am asking about safety and security. your reply is valuable.
I have not heard of any university in Nigeria with and the name you mentioned, this might be a scam. Foreigners with white skin are advised to stay off Northern Nigeria at the moment, it is not so safe.
Generally I will tell you all that nigeria is a safe place, not every where is bad in nigeria, so as in other country, if you are having job offers in nigeria, ensure it is well clarified so as to avoid scam. please if you need information about part or states in nigeria you could email me : geraldoprah@sify.com, or call :+2348066238425.I will be happy to give you the assistance you desire.
Hello I am new to this forum. I have been offered a job in the security field with Seplat Petroleum. They are offering 17000 a month. along with benefits. Can anyone give me some insight into this company and if it is a safe place to work. I haven't signed the contract yet. I need so info.
Abutcher, I would like to know how you got the job offer in order to avoid being scam, do you know the location of the company, so I could help u do further research about the said company.
gayakwadpm, not sure what sort of information you need but here is the Orange Drugs Ltd web page with the history of orange drugs http://www.orangegroups.com/profile.html
GRA is an acronym for Government Reserved Area. Theses are usually the areas where the company housing compounds and private housing complexes are located.
I have friend Nigeria he is trying to leave the country an they r telling him he needs a BTA is that true what i have being reading its a scam if everyone knows what to do an to talk. To me let me know thanks he has been away from his boys to long
BTA stands for Basic Travel Allowance. BTA is NOT in effect in any country in the world, the man is highly likely a scammer, if he requires money for BTA.
BTA is sometime known as PTA Personal Travel Allowance also a scammers device to obtain money
This man probably has no children, does not look at all like the photos you have and has no intention of leaving Nigeria as long as he can scam money off foolish women.
Hi.My boyfriend is from Benin City and we will visit Benin city in summer,but I'm a little nervous about it. Can anybody tell me some info based on their own personal experience. Thanks
I also showed my colleague, a Nigerian woman your post and she was appalled that you would even consider travelling to Nigeria. she also asked how well you knew your boyfriend. There are cases were the so called boyfriend is really nice but his real self comes out in Nigeria and some women have even disappeared.
In my life I have travelled to many places but I always put my safety first. they say love is blind but in your case it appears you may also be deaf and dumb
Thanks for your answer. My boyfriend and I are over 10 years together. I am only worriing about the situation in Nigeria. We bought our tickets already, but i am still worried.
I'm Sabitha Venkates from India. I got an offer from Shell Petroleum Development Company, Logas, Nigeria with decent salary($ 7500 /mo) package. I'll be provided accommodation in the company's staff quarters. What I want to know is, how safe is Logas, Nigeria, as I'm hearing a lot of conflicting crimes a day and day. As a single women, is it safe to be alone and to stay for 2 years in series? I hope to hear the genuine reply, to overcome from my confusion state. Thanks in advance.

Nigeria is not a place for a female traveling by your self
I have my husband here. I have to go everywhere with him for safety and other wise you will be harrased constainly
Have freinds arrange a reliable taxi man with a good vechile
I have asked my husband to ask our taxi man here as he is really reiable and felt safe with him. If he argees I will post his moblie number
Just be aware that traffic here is exstreamly bad so be prepaired that transport does cost a packet
Also note that is polite to supply food and beverage for your taxi man as well
Can you look at this last posting as this is a service which could be danagerous if any one takes it up
To the Pulbic and other members here
Please be careful of posting that state they are a service to you or offering things especially from Nigeria
Please be careful if you take up the offer from posting above
