My name is Lynne-Marie and I am a Canadian teacher very possibly moving to Abuja next month to teach at The Centagon International School. I am just waiting to have a phone call to see if it will be happening. I have travelled quite a lot in my twenties and then went back to school to become a teacher to give me the opportunity to work and travel. This is a dream position for me teaching my specialty subjects with the added bonus of working in orphanages close by the the school is already involved in.
I am looking for some advice on the state of things there now and to see if I am making a bad decision. I am not coming in with my eyes closed, and believe me I have had my reservations ( and in taking so long to decide to take the position, I may have very well lost it.) If anyone can tell me anything at all, I would greatly appreciate it.
My family isn't too happy about my decision, but are supporting me. I should state that I am a female travelling alone- but I have done that many times and have very good judgement and gut instincts that so far have always kept me safe. :-)
