Hello Yaseen, Nigeria is safe. The crisis are actually in the North East. But other parts of the country are very safe and okay for expats.

Yes it is safe, like the godfather said, you just have to keep off the North Eastern states, every other place and location in the country is quite safe and ok.

Well Nigeria is a big country, so where exactly is your destination?

hi Ashok
so i spoke to a colleague of mine who stays in Kano and she confirms Prince hotel is a reputable hotel and its a prime accommodation for expats in Kano. She also said the hotel is in the main city so you have nothing to worry about kidnapping or violence. Just ensure your employers get you an accommodation in a private estate in the city or a house that is close to the hotel.
All the best and welcome to Nigeria 

hope they will give accommodation in side the hotel, please tell me there is Indian expat in kano or other nationality expats,  hope all is well


thank you

Ashok

Are you still in Kano or left? Coming there soon and need tips, based on questions you had in the forum before going there. thanks.
