Working in lagos, nigeria

I am a Malaysian.
I am going to work for few weeks in Lagos,Nigeria for some kind of telecommunication projects for MTN.

I would like all the expat here to advise me
1) Do i request my company to hire bodyguard?
2) Is it safe for me to take the airport taxi to my hotel or take hotel taxi to office?

I don't think i have much time to walk around even at daytime.
I should be quite busy at the office.

What other things i should be aware of?

thanks

Good info for the newbie, farrahkhan

I am requesting someone to let me know if there is a hospital named Itohan in Lagos, Nigeria.

Dear All

I am currently living in Taiwan A.K.A Republic of China.
i got a job offer that i might need to go and work in Nigeria; this company is mainly selling car components. How's car business in Nigeria??
In the other hand,i used to live in South Africa for years and enjoyed a lot with the living environment. I would like to know how difference can it be between South Africa to Nigeria???

Any opinions will be most valuable to me!
thank you so much for sharing in advance!!!
