I am a Malaysian.
I am going to work for few weeks in Lagos,Nigeria for some kind of telecommunication projects for MTN.

I would like all the expat here to advise me
1) Do i request my company to hire bodyguard?
2) Is it safe for me to take the airport taxi to my hotel or take hotel taxi to office?

I don't think i have much time to walk around even at daytime.
I should be quite busy at the office.

What other things i should be aware of?

thanks

Dear All

I am currently living in Taiwan A.K.A Republic of China.

Any opinions will be most valuable to me!
