Tolismsnk I don't think you have got the message - Nigeria is a squalid ,brutal and dangerous place. It is the only country where I went to work with bodyguards - armed with AKs or Fal automatic rifles.Do not work for a local company or you will get shafted - only ever work for a foreign company and not as a local hire.Pay nothing up front and if your salary is delayed,bail out immediately. Unless you are starving stay away - there are better places in Africa.
