This is a review I read on http://britishexpat.com/expatforum/country/ about relocating to Lagos. I found it funny more than anything else. What do you guys think? How true is this?

Hi all,


my first post too.

I'm about to move back again to Lagos. To be honest, it's a pretty dreadful place. From a distance you can be fooled into thinking it's just a regular city; impressive skyline, size, mass of humanity.

Once you get into it though the truth becomes obvious. There has been little or no public works carried out for many, many years. the roads are very dangerous just to drive on, not taking into account the totally erratic and, frankly, stupidly dangerous, behaviour of the local drivers.

Getting around the city is a nightmare by any standards (and I've travelled to, and lived in, many of the world's most notorious places) and the police are an ever present, corrupt, malignant force. You can bank on being asked for a gift by at least one policeman at an impromptu roadblock at least once a day.

Having said all this, I'm going back (again) when I swore I wouldn't (again). I don't have a family to take (again) and I'm pretty sure that if I did, I'd leave them somewhere civilized and safe, like Iraq.

Regards

I will contact you then. Thank you.
