How's work life & safety for indian in nigeria

Hi Sanjay

That's good job offer. Please dont hesitate to take the job offer if they are paying you good salary i.e. local allowance + Dollar remitted in India. There are mixed notions again n again am repeating that if you are good to your co workers, employees under  you, driver and house help. Nothing to worry at all. You can certainly plan to bring your family also. We have an Indian School in Ilupeju and you will find Indian grocery easily available here.

Just keep open mind and be alert and all is fine. Try to take accommodation in Ikeja or Suruleru as they are bit more safe area than Ilupeju, Ikorodu, Ojota etc.

All the best to you and welcome to Nigeria.

People here are very friendly if you reciprocate it properly.

Regards,
Briju

Hi Briju,

Thanks for your comments. I will be paid around 54000 USD to Indian account and 36000 USD in local Nigerian currency. I think that is a good offer.

Do you anything about globacom and its working culture? Will they pay us what they promise? I have heard a lot of negative against the company.

how long are you working there? Is your family with you?

Thanks
Sanju

Hi Sanjay

That's good offer. I have no idea about the GLOCOM as none of our friends or known people work there. We are in Nigeria since last 2 yrs and with grace of god nothing has happened to us. I am with my dad and he works here.

Regards,
Briju

Hey Briju,

Thanks again...I will consider it seriously then...

Is there any Indian association there? how effective is the police out there? wt abt the climate and overall life standards?

where is your native in India?

Thanks
Sanju

Is the amount after tax or before tax, are they paying for annual flights home??
First you need to calculate how much it will cost you to live in Nigeria. For cost of living www.numbeo.com  Then subtract this from your monthly salary.  The amount left over is what you have to send home.

How are you protecting them. Just saying not to come because it is too hot is not the sort of information the OP is looking for.

please tell about the company called " stallion Group"?

what is the salary is being offered for automobile sales manager ?

Far East Merchantile is a known and big distribution house in Nigeria. They have operation pan Nigeria and have deep knowledge of Nigerian market.
They take care of their employees in terms of accommodation, transportation, kids schooling etc.
However, depending on position in organization, they place of stay, amenities and salary (USD) and local allowances may differ.
Suggest, go through the fine prints in details too for all these things too.
As far as Lagos is concerned, its quite safe and peaceful.
Also, Ebola has been efficiently contained unlike other countries. In fact Nigeria never experienced Ebole till Mr. Sawyer arrived.
Welcome to Nigeria.

arebee1810, Anu posted in 2010 ... this thread is obsolete !

I guess we should start a new thread

Thanks,

Ah thanks

I am Akin and I live in Lagos although thinking of relocating yo Australia.
Some of the things you need consider are:
Accommofation- Safest place to live in Lagos is Lekki which is an Island in Lagos, vehicular traffic to and from this place is tough.
Other areas on the Mainland are Ilupeju which is where majority of Indian with medium income live.
Other considerations for u are proximity to basic needs like feeding, clothing...
U can contact me for further enquiries;

Hello Akin,

Thank you for your participation on this thread. Please note however that the OP is from the year 2010 as Julien pointed out. I invite you to create a new thread about life in Lagos on the Lagos forum.

Thank you,
