Peerielass: Hello, I’ve been to Nigeria with my daughter who is mixed race and her Scottish dad yearly except for 2020 when Covid was rife. We returned in July 2021 and also visited last Oct.
We usually stay in an Airbnb in Lekki that's centrally located, secure and with all the modern day facilities to make their stay comfortable and we’ve had no issues (touchwood) in any of our previous stays. Most of the Airbnb accommodations have the Cway water dispensers so you would need to refill this from time to time.
The best thing to do regarding vaccination is to visit your GP or local travel clinic. The travel nurse will tell you which vacs are compulsory for travel to Nigeria and which ones are just recommended. Your hubby would definitely need a yellow fever vac for sure. I’m not sure about your son but it will depend on if he is travelling on a Nigeria passport. I think they may ask you to get tetanus, rabies etc but some of these jabs have long validity so you don’t need to get them that often. I find that the most expensive element is the anti malaria drugs as they tend to push for Malarone which is very dear. In addition to the Malarone, I use to buy jungle formula/deet creams for use but always end up not using them and haven’t had any malaria incidence.
For food depending on what your two year old fancies, I usually take a lot of food with me, mainly breakfast stuff and snacks because my daughter is fussy. This last trip I took a polystyrene cool box full of Aberdeen Angus steak, fresh haddock, sausages and salmon. It was still very frozen when we got there. I used to just buy from shop rite but my daughter and hubby always complained that the steak was too ‘toug’h’, chicken too ‘hard’, too much ‘bones’ in the fish and sausages tasted ‘funny’ so I resorted to taking my own.
Last October, my daughter and I ventured to the East for the first time in 10years while hubby returned to UK. He didn’t feel brave enough but said he will come next time after the elections. You will need to be vigilant and take all the necessary precautions you would normally take when visiting a foreign place.
Also just to add to what Chreze said about boundaries, be prepared to see people come up to you in the mall to stroke your child’s hair/face etc. You just need to shine your red eye for them and they will run away. They will also constantly ask your spouse for money in the airport.
Get travel insurance too.
Let me know if you have any specific questions you would like answered, Thank you so much for your comprehensive explanation. I am very grateful for sharing your good experience with me. I actually do not have any specific questions yet but would definitely reach out once the time is nearer We move in 2023  |

NiceTheDev: Na you get am pass boss. This is my case. Im an Agric Science/Animal Husbandry and Vocational studies Teacher and I have a B.Agric Tech in Ecotourism and Wildlife Mgt Now i have a PGDE (Agric science) and fully registered and licensed with TRCN...over 2 years work experience too. I just dey patiently wait for February 1, walahi money for processing necessary stuff go komot. I was made for this.
It's not hard to understand. Agric science is not part of the UK secondary or primary school curriculum . My best advice is for you to enrol for a course in home economics, chemistry or Biology science |

Idaytesj29: The BSc will always have a subject specification. PGDE is an Teachers educational course. I rest my case!!

Jobs/Vacancies › Re: UK Opens Door For Nigerian Teachers by STENON(f): 2:07pm On Dec 15, 2022 |
BSc(Ed) or BEd, then TRCN
Naija Teachers should go and apply for TRCN first as that is going to be the most important requirement. |

@Humility101, Marriage is not determined by how long the relationship last, but how best you both happily live together after wedding.
The same Nairalanders advising you not to marry her are the same set of people who would go behind you and marry her.
Please marry her and start the life journey with her. |

I think some "African Parents" still have a lot of work to do with children upbringing in this country. We are always quick to talk about Racism when it involves white people, but what do we call the attack from a black person to another black person? I took time out of my full time job after 3 years of working with the same employer to give more time/attention to my Baby and now working as a supply teacher by going to different schools to work based on my availability, but the abuse, gross disrespect and bad behaviour I have witnessed over the past few weeks from black children is really shocking to me. They just instantly look down on you and would never want to follow the instruction from a black teacher, no proper home training or morals from most of these children.
Dear African Parents, apart from working back to back shifts, Please take time to discipline your children and teach them good virtues. |
