Hi all,

some help needed. I have an offer to work in Lagos, as a site manager assistant by one big European company.  Basically my job would be a combination of quantity surveyor and quality control.

The offer is as follows: Net salary of 950€ per month, accommodation paid by the company in a guarded compound, as well as health insurance, two flights a year to Europe.

After reading a lot of forums I find the salary proposed to be ridiculously low. Please give me an advice.

Thanks

Thanks Costner. Do you have any idea what would be appropriate salary?

The money is ok

Ofemidele where are you from?

Nigeria

The money is pretty good in Nigeria

If you're Nigerian and this is your homecountry the money is ok, otherwise think twice! Being send away from home normally rises the price! FAR TOO LOW!!!

Dear croat 82 ,
                Let us consider the following situation which i got from internet, and think @ urs.

             the cost of living in Nigeria... a bit of an odd question as
90% of the population lives on less than a dollar a day but
expats  generally stay in overpriced hotels or rent overpriced appartments. You can pay $500 a night for the best hotels but no guarantee of a working aircon or water supply, hotels generally have their own generators and as long as they are working you get power ("light") most of the time. Appartments may rely solely on NEPA plc (Never Expect Power Again please light candle- the government supply) or have a gen. that runs sometimes, relies on a diesel supply. Water will be from some nearby borehole/ delivered by truck and not potable.
public transport is a bit dodgy. I have seen many crushed bodies of either okada (motor bike taxis) drivers/passengers and mangled minibuses outside Lagos. But using hotel taxis in Lagos is relatively safe because traffic is usually moving very slowly or not at all.
Food prices- yams and cassava are cheap but if you want to eat western food or buy imported goods generally double the price in Europe.
Health insurance? if you get ill make sure your insurance pays for you to be medivacced to SA. Take prophylaxis for malaria to avoid dying.

expat schools/ rich Nigerians either send their children to boarding school in Ghana/ Abuja or to saint Saviours in lagos. Not cheap.
lots of good restarants expect to pay $60 plus per head.
Energy prices ...sling a line over on overhead cable/ buy your own gen and diesel/ rely on Nepa and pay not  just your own bill...
Internet. You might be with a company in whose interests it is to use a good ISP. Most are intermittent.
DSTV for those that have the satellite. Lots of cafes and pubs where you can enjoy a beer or coffee. near christmas avoid such places near a bank in case you get caught in the cross fire of an armed robbery
Cinema is the best, enjoy audience participation like no where else in the world.
Don't go to Nigeria for less than $400,000 pa if you are with a family and paying for everything. If your company provide secure accommodation/ schooling/ transport, $200,000 would make it worth while. Or for a bachelor $100,000 if you want to enjoy an enriching cultural experience.
I left lagos a few months ago. Quite miss it!
p.s. if you go to Port Harcourt / Warri, in fact anywhere in the south of Nigeria you need round the clock armed security. Kano and Abuja are relatively safe.
