Hello everyone,

Is there anything you wish you had known before moving to Nigeria? For example, transportation, internet speeds, types of housing, aspects of the culture or social life.

In your opinion, what's the most important thing to know about Nigeria?

When would you recommend someone should begin planning their move to Nigeria?

What were the most helpful ways you found to get organised? For example, did you use a checklist, were there any particularly useful websites or apps?

What advice would you give to future expats preparing to move to Nigeria?

Thank you for sharing your experience.

Hello Priscilla

Nigeria is a country that has experienced a currency problem for a number of years now.

It would not be a good time to work for a local company.

Main thing to ensure is that a visa is included that allows multiple entry. Other forms of visa do not聽 comply with anti slavery laws.

It is easy to get trapped in Nigeria and not many other places will value experience in Nigeria.

Negative international reputation for a number of reasons.
