🇳🇬 Nigeria Dispatch: My First Week as an Expat 🌍

Just landed in Africa a week ago—reality check incoming! Here’s the unfiltered scoop: 💻 Work Life: Expect the Unexpected • Internet? More like intermittent-net 📶 – Zoom calls with HQ = glorified lottery. • Power outages mid-meeting? Classic Nigeria. Cue: "Sorry, let’s reconnect… in 3 hours?" 😅 🏠 Housing: Survival Mode • Company housing = safe, but… ⚡ Blackout bingo (pack headlamps!). 🦟 Malaria watch: Mosquito nets + vaccines = non-negotiable. 🍜 Food: Wallet vs. Stomach • Street food? Russian roulette for your gut 🎰 (I’ll pass!). • Chinese food: ¥70-100 for noodles?! 😱 Local joints (¥15-30 meals) win. • Pro tip: Jollof rice + grilled fish = budget hero. 🐟 🛒 Shopping: Bring It All • Toothpaste? Chargers? Pack extras – local stuff = pricey + flimsy. • Malls? More like "meh-lls". 🛍️ #NaijaReality #ExpatDiaries #AfricanWorkLife
