Working in Lagos, Nigeria

Azul,


I don't suppose you would mind posting an update of the current situation in Lagos - once you have settled in, of course? From time to time, my husband receives calls from agencies re. contract work there. Each time that happens it appears, to me anyhow, that the temptation to go increases. Frightens the life out of me TBH. Thanks.


And good luck to you! Return safely.

Sounds like a good decision!! I have a friend who has to go there for work, she hates it!! They have armed guards to take them to / from the hotel, even the hotel with its armed guards is not safe - one of her colleagues was robbed in reception, seemed the armed guards on the door were corrupt!! Needless to say no one saw anything!!


Tough decision is money life changing but for "OK" money forget it!

    • I’m not a Southwark council stooge I’m a city drone working for the man in the square mile… I’ve been an East Dulwich resident from 2007. I lost access to my previous account  my new account is from 2012 as mentioned.  its unbelievably narrow minded to think that there is no local support for the festival. I would say that 8/10 of my local friends do.  OK they/we are the types that like a party. The two that  are mildly annoyed are dog walkers who do moan about having to use the other side of the park… but again they don’t hate it.  I take the point that although only 3 days of noise,  access to the park is restricted for longer but there is another mooosive bit of grass right next to it that people can use … ie the Rye common part of the park.  I feel London’s open spaces should be for everyone EVEN  those that like to listen music and dance in the open air. AND those that want to use it for quiet contemplation.  I would also like to highlight that nightclubs and venues  across UK are under pressure and closing at a shocking rate. A large event like this not only supports the artists playing and the  ‘scene. ’  It also provides traffic and income at local south London venues used for pre and post events/ drinking.  We should all be proud of the musical culture the UK  has to offer  and in particular it’s leading contribution to electronic dance music. There needs to be more  support for the reducing number of venues and events.   
    • I'm sorry to hear about your little puppy being bitten. I hope s/he is ok. On another note I would be grateful if people generally don't use the name Karen negatively in posts. This Karen finds it rather hurtful.
    • A perfectly healthy looking tree in our road was recently removed, and apparently it was because it had diseased roots. Who knows how this was discovered!
