My name is Mitchelyn Sio. I am from Philippines. I received a job offer from one of the agency here in the Philippines. My employer and the agency told me that I will be based in Lagos Nigeria. The location is in Lekki Phase I, Lekki Lagos Nigeria specifically. I actually read some article about the place and it is quite beautiful place for me. I just wanna make sure that I will not regret of my decisions on grabbing this job opportunity.

I hope you could give me more of what and how is Lekki Lagos Nigeria place.

Thank you so much.

Hello Mitchelyn
welcome to the forum

its actually safe working in Lagos and Lekki is a good and safe place to live with so much fun activities for after work or weekends.
so it depends on where u will be working, if its going be within Victoria Island then less wahala(problem) for traffic, if its mainland u will only have to contend with the traffic that means u have to live home very early.
asides that, every other thing is ok here.

wish u luck

hi,

Chikky said it all. Its fun staying on the island (Lekki is situated on the Lagos island, you have easy access to the beach, exotic clubs and bar but on the traffic... you can't totally escape it, that is LAGOS for you. If you will be staying in Ajah, lekki, You can't escape the traffic during 'rush hours'.

Don't worry yourself about the traffic, it toughens you. I work on the island and live on the mainland and am still breathing. LOL
