Hi
Your offer will work provided all accommodation and transport is covered by your company
Check transport as this is expensive and erratic
Try negotiating the local expenses up a little to 150,000 - 200,000 Naira per month
I assume your numbers are monthly
Typically a meal will cost Naira 1,000 in a chicken type shop with African food
Spend would be N5,000 per day which is 150,000 per month
Keep USD1,000 - 2,000 in store locally for flight or evacuation

You spend #5000 a day? eating what if i may ask?
Dont tell me you eat at an intercontinental restaurant morning, afternoon and night.
Now to the question, if you get a cooker in your home, you cant finish half of that amount that is eating breakfast and or dinner at home and eating in a fancy restaurant in the afternoon. But it depends on your taste
