Hello! We are a Mexican family with a small child that is seriously thinking to relocate to Lagos for a Job Offer, Not in the oil Industry.
Can someone give us a Real opinion about Safety, health, education, living and general information you think we should consider before making a decision.

Thanks in advance!

Hi Anag:
As someone who grew up in Lagos,I would say security used to be good 25 years ago but now .just like in Mexico,make sure you are in your house by 6pm ,get to know your neighbors,drink bottled water and make sure food is well cooked and you'll be fine .
Nigerian education is great and I'm successful in the US because of it.
I still visit Nigeria almost every year and I'm optimistic Nigeria as a whole will get better pretty soon.

You didnt state any good reason why you want to relocate to Nigeria with your family. If you have no concrete ties with Nigeria, I advice you reconsider your plans. If I am a Nigerian visa consular, I will also the same question.
