if you fly a plane as a pilot,why worry about the dangers in Nigeria ?
... and you get to your hotel/housing how exactly

There have been no flights in Nigeria since before 0900 as the NLC general strike has paralysed the country and at least 2 fuel subsidy protesters have been killed by police in Lagos and Kano.

There are mass protest on the streets of most large towns and cities.

Yesterday 20 people were killed in Adamawa State and it is suspected that the increasingly violent extremist group Boko Haram was responsible. As a result the government has imposed a 24 hour curfew.

Christians living in the north are fleeing south as the level of violence is increasing and increasing numbers of Muslims, afraid of a Christian backlash are moving north.

Crews have been shot whilst en route to the airport in the past, but none for the last couple of years, so be very sure what level of security your company will provide here.

Life continues and most people survive in Africa's most populous nation, but it's not a place for the faint hearted or those of a nervous disposition.
