| Nairaland General › The Lives Of Lagos Security Guards - We Are In Trouble by prettyG(op): 11:16am On Jun 30, 2013 |

Bassey Udor is one of them. He’s a guard at a hotel in Festac, Lagos, and earns only N10,000 a month. ”Normally my job is to open the gate for cars to come in and go out, but I want to leave this work soon: the pay is too small and the risk is too much because robbers usually target big hotels like our own,” he said.
