I agree with the "don't bring them here. just pay for the service". As for needing a agent, I think a better word is a "manager". Someone who manages the hiring, overlooks the work and ensures prompt and quality delivery of end product. Most established players won't even need to hire as they already have a buffer of people ready to work on new projects. You just pay for what you get done, without worrying about all the hassles. And its cheaper in the end.

As for currency conversions, I am an Indian in India and talked in US$ so that we have a "common ground". I wont understand if you talk in Nairas and you wont understand if I told you rates in Indian Rupees. For international deals, either US$ or anyone one of the the currency used by either player can be used for contracts. People hired are ofcourse paid in local currency.

And, if you are interested in exploring more the option of working with an Indian organization on this, I work in a similar organization and we can talk about business (the nature of work you want get done, the rates, timeline, contracts etc...). If you prefer talking about it in private rather than on the forum, we can exchange mail IDs.

Yeah - I am a student in my 2nd year coding my head out. What do you want to develop? is it web based? is it a full client server app. let me know the details and I and my geeks can work on it if the pay is right.

Ok just to clarify I wasn't bidding, I wanted to give you an estimate of how much it would cost for a project, generally, indian, nigerian, english, american whatever.
So if he/she costs you less than that then you know you are in for a good bargain. It also depends companies portfolio or request one, their client history etc
Do they take on projects way too frequently (bad) or way to infrequently (also bad).


Not really, it is more expensive to hire an indian I'd presume (exchange rate etc), problem is there aren't that many Nigerian developers to begin with,

Hmm.
