How's work life & safety for indian in nigeria

Hi Anu, The place is quite good. Safety .. well it is better to live with precautions than to be sorry afterwards.

The house part depends upon the package, some companies give a lumpsum, others break it down into perks. Overall package CTC is usually same as in other countries for a specific job, so you can calculate accordingly.

Hi, 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.
About saving and facilities all depend upon the company/group.

Thanks

dont come if company is not providing accmodation

it's better if company provides accommodation, at least for first few months. Rent is quite high in the better parts of Lagos and usually you pay up to 2 years rent upfront.

Hi,

I am from hderabad india,may i know how safe nigeria will be for indians.
Also please provide me how cost of living will be in nigeria.

You will need 1000 dollars if you are single and 1700 dollars if you are married with child, per month , to sustain yourself. Plus you would need a fully furnished house and car and medical for family plus school fees for child.

they dont do any Marketing anyway. They just do Selling. So this must be a sales job.
