Hello Everyone

Hi Ajay,

Nigeria is a huge place which r v diverse in nature. Lemme know whr r u going to b based then i wud b in a better posn to reply.

In all the probability i should be based out of Lagos. Is Abuja (Capital) neighbouring town to Lagos? Since i shall be working for Zain, its head office is in Ikoyi Lagos, so i guess i should be looking for accomodation nearby in some gated community. What do you think?

Hi Ajay,

By air, Abuja is an hour away from Lagos, by road, about 8-9 hours. They are in different regions.

Since you'll be working with Zain, there are lots of cool neighbourhoods in Lagos and there is a HEAVY presence of Indians in an area called Apapa in Lagos, they celebrate holi and Diwali in these places (if this makes you feel any better)

I don't know what your budget is like, but i know Indians like to keep it low. There are expensive accomodations in Ikoyi and Victoria Island. You might wanna try other areas like Gbagada and Ikeja. You will find decent accomodations there.
