Hi all,

Newbie on the Nigeria forum? Don’t know how to start?

This thread is for you ;)

We invite you to introduce yourself on this topic, to share with us your expat story if you are already living in the country, or to tell us more on your expat projects in Nigeria if you are planning to move there.

It will enable us to help you better but above all to wish you a warm welcome.

Welcome on board!

I've been to Abuja, Nigeria in 2006 to 2007 and again from 2010 to 2013. It will take you some time to adapt to the system, for sure. My advice: try to build up SLOWLY a relationship to a Nigerian co-worker to then learn about the politics of living there. Some decisions made by the locals may not be logical to you, but are when you know the background of politics, influence and status of the involved persons.

Hi All,
i have been to Nigeria since 2008, l am from South Africa, my experience there has been very fruitful and pleasant, the people of Nigeria are warm, loving and most welcoming. i lived in VI, where it was very safe, one just has to be street wise, i consider Nigeria as my second home as it own me and i love it there.

Thank you for welcoming me.

Hello! Thanks for the warm welcome. Been here since August 2013; was initially positive about the move but it's taking longer to settle down properly than anticipated and new country blues are now catching up with me.. Came across this forum and thought chatting with others who can relate with that feeling would help... I've lived in several other places so this shouldn't be new but it seems heavier this time... I have 2 small kids and are a stay-at-home (more like drive-around😉) mom with dreams about returning to professional life in the not too distant future... A balanced and interactive life will do for now. Enough said!

Thank you for the kind welcome. I follow my husband's professional move here. It's our very first African experience. Though not very easy in the beginning, we are slowly getting to know the local "way", the "accent" in spoken English, the moving rhythm in daily life, the villages at the outskirt areas, the never-ending construction sites, etc. The first impression of personal contact didn't make me feel welcomed, but much better after a little chat… to warm-up! Hope to learn more from those been here for a while…
Cheers
