🇳🇬 My First Week as an Expat in Lagos, Nigeria

Just landed in Lagos for my overseas assignment – and guess what? It’s better than expected! Here’s the lowdown: 🍚 Food Scene • Street food? Risky for your stomach 🚫🍢 (but grilled fish at proper restaurants = 🤤🔥). • Chinese food? ¥70-100 for noodles?! 😱 A full meal for 4 can hit ¥1,000+. Stick to local spots (¥15-30 meals). 🏠 Housing • Company housing = safe, but… ⚡ Power cuts (pack a power bank!). 🦟 Malaria watch: Nets + vaccines (yellow fever, meningitis, etc.) = MUST. 🛒 Shopping Struggles • Toothpaste? Chargers? Bring extras – local stuff = pricey + low quality. • "Supermarkets" = sad fruit selection (hard pears 🍐, sad bananas 🍌). 💰 Why Africa? • That expat $$$ 💸 (worth the adventure!). • English-friendly – if you’re fluent, you’ll adapt fast! #ExpatLife #LagosLiving #NaijaHustle
