Hello All,

I am planning to visit Abuja, i have a job opportunity with me.
one thing is really making me confuse is security and criminal activities.

I hear (not sure, its true or false) Expat cant move freely and they always have fear to get trapped, looted or kidnap.

Native Nigerians are suppressed people. so, they target Expat for money and stuff. how true is this !!!

Although when i talk with few Nigerians from Abuja, i found them friendly and they respond my queries with good respect.

please comment and share your experience.
I would appreciate if some Native Nigerian may also comment.

THanks

So unfortunate you heard but perhaps have you come across anyone been involved in any of such mentioned by you? Well, Abuja is a safe place for everyone including expats. Before coming try get a good guidance on places you go to and people you meet. Moreover, this is the step everyone uses in places never been to. So, let your mind be at rest. cheers...

Hello judenum,

thanks for your kind words. well, i have no one who experience it by himself :) this is what i hear from people or from media.
this is the reason, i want to hear from some native person like you to get the real facts.

I hope i will get good friendly people in Abuja.


Cheers!!!
