@Bkain the story looks genuine. However, be wary of anyone asking for payment- whether fees or anything else. If a company is negotiating your relocation, they automatically sort out every nitty gritty. Nobody will ask you to pay! Please be ... Read More

American Food by StrayDawg

I know it willl be a bit of a culture shock moving to a different country. I am sure that the types of food Nigerians and other foreign nationals eat is quite different. Are there any places there that serve an international or american type food?

Hello Poster, Yes! You'll find loads of places where you can eat American food. From pumpkin pie to mac and cheese. The cuisine may not be as fine as what you'll get in your home - but be rest assured that you'll get American food. Read More
