Hi! How's the cost of living in Lagos, Nigeria? Is 5,000 USD enough to get a single person going for a month? What's the peace and order situation there? Thanks in advance for sharing infos.

Hi is 5000$ your total package or is it excluding perks house etc.Please note that expenses are very high in Nigeria you could see the reply I posted in an earlier query.The peace and order situation is okay as long as you do not push limits.

Over there you would need about 700$ to spend on food,neccesaties etc..5000$ is good if it includes perks namely furnished house,car,electricity however if the total package is 5000$ it's very redundant
