For Lagos

> accommodation prices - 3/4bedroom =Average rent on the island - N2.5M to N4M per annum; Average on the mainland N750,000 to N1.5M. Deal with the right agents, make sure you see the property before you pay; issue only cheques never cash; ensure you dont issue dud cheques, its a criminal offence and you could be arrested. i could assist with sorting out accommodation issues
