HI, As long as it is Lagos, it is safe zone! But there is a lot of fraud about overseas offers, particularly with Nigeria. Let me know the Company name. I will enquire with my colleagues or friends over here.

By the way, I am working in Nigeria more than 2 yrs now.

Take care...........Bye!

Dear all, I am working in Lagos, Nigeria from last 2 years. For childrens very good school is available here www.ilslagos.com , Life is also overall good though not charming. Shopping complex and cinemas also availbale to spend week end. Only thing one must confirm before coming to Nigeria is about the company and its credentials. If company is good and if you r not much ambitious about career, life is overall good. About safety one must be careful and should avoid night outings.Many Indians are working here in lagos.
