Hi Givat, Lagos or Abuja... That is a world of difference! It’s not like choosing between Rome and Milan (also world of difference, but other discussion) Nigeria, is a huge country with different ethnic and religious ‘sections’ in the country.
Have been in Nigeria from 2006 – 2010 so that is my time period I can talk about. Abuja fine, can have a normal daily life there. Lagos, is another story, much more “rules” (safety related) you need to take in consideration, pending on where in Lagos you are based this can mean from stay at hotel… to stay in neighborhood.
Anyway, won’t go there for holidays, but to work it is ok. Preferring Abuja by far over Lagos.
This is not the truth, just my opinion.
