aamandani,
If you are willing to pay for type, go ahead and do it. You will most likely get the job. I believe at the moment they will not type because of the exodus mentioned earlier.
For the rest of the guys, you cannot change people's perceptions or opinions. If they feel Lagos is not for them, fine. You cannot resort to childish arguments about living conditions in lagos.
Lagos as we all know is not for the fainthearted, you either take it or leave it.
Trust me many have decided to stay away, that is why there are still job openings there. For those who can hack it, all the best.
Fly safe.
