^^ Lagos Island (V.I., Ikoyi, VGC) are the poshest/safest areas in Lagos and Nigeria as a whole. If u want to start a business, Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, Uyo are the places to be. |

How long have you been away from Nigeria? If you've been away for a long time, I'd suggest you stay put where you are. Adapting to the lifestyle and the way things are done in Nigeria is not easy for someone who's been away from the 'jungle' for a long time. The endless traffic jams, erratic power supply and absence of some basic and essential amenities can make one go bonkers. However, if you've not been away for a long time, adapting to the rugged life in Nigeria shouldn't be a problem. The decision is yours and yours alone to make. May God help you to make the right one. 3 Likes |

I have actually only visited. I am not a native which is why I asked for advice ... I was born in Canada raised in America. My boyfriend however is from Nigeria but hasn't been back since his teens. He is really wanting to move back home to be with family and extend his business and of course expects me to follow. Anyways thanks for the advice chukxie: How long have you been away from Nigeria?

This lady does not intend to move to Nigeria. Someone has compromised her account information on Nairaland. I'm suspecting a mod or super mod is using unsuspecting members account to write false articles and post to gain traffic. This is not the first occurance on this forum.. Nadia_SA was once a victim. This is serious. 2 Likes |

May God help you to make the right one.You should not be discouraging the poster from relocating to Nigeria like there are people not making it in Nigeria. There are some prominent Nigerians that once lived in the states or Europe but decided make it in Nigeria. Nnamdi Azikwe was once hustling and schooling in America before coming to Nigeria to become a successful business man and later a president when we didn't even have NEPA, Roads or phones in Nigeria. Mike Adenuga was once a taxi driver in the states , MI use to wash toilet in the streets of Detriot. Dbanj and Don Jazzy were once in UK hustling before deciding to make it Nigeria. Even Dangote spend 2 years hustling and schooling in Egypt before relocating to Nigeria. if they had all remain in the West believing Nigeria is bad, don't have basic amenities and a 'Jungle', they probably would not have become successful and rich like they are. There are thousands of people that have relocated to Nigeria from Europe and America and are doing fine. The poster should follow his heart and do a lot of research about the job or business he plans invest in Nigeria. Glad you have been planning to relocate for the past 3 years and I hope you have done a lot of research too. Nigeria is a gold mine for people with foreign degree, foreign work experience, and capital because you don't have to worry about IRS and uncle Sam taxing you and cause of doing business is low. 1 Like 1 Share |
