And you showed "High" for being subject to a physical attack because of your skin colour, ethnic origin or religion, in Lagos. This is a farce.
Is anyone lives near this above address? Pls let me know. I need help.
Kindly advise....
I am samy from India please share lagos cost of living.
regards,
I was just working there and had to leave quickly due to the strong threat of kidnapping. Regardless of my situation that occurred, I would not recommend going there. It was interesting to see but the conditions are terrible along with the crime. you can't drink the water or eat any food that is washed in the water (unless it is cooked afterward). The power goes out at least a dozen times per day and for any type of a decent life, it's very expensive. If you do go, I strongly recommend to have an armed security guard and driver and NEVER travel at night. As for me, there isn't enough money in any company's wallet to lure me back. I will never return to Nigeria. Good luck and hopefully more than the President by the same name.
Although there is no statistical data but I can tell you the kind of development happened in last so many years and safety measurement has been taken is remarkably well.
I would advise others don't compare apple to orange. Don't compare Lagos to Dubai It's obvious dubai and is far -far better.
But If you see growth and the kind of government imitative - Wonderful city, wonderful people
Didn't you understand that the information and statistics collected on that page is actually collection of the peoples opinions that have visited and voted on that page, in other words "social opinion". My opinion is that instead of going to lawyers you should consider going back to school to train your logic and maybe some social/soft skills.
I am personally pretty satisfied with the information I collected from here and as I've been living in Nigeria for many years and experienced various dangerous situations over there although I consider myself as a careful person then I can confirm that level of crime: "84.09" is pretty adequate - especially for a foreigner.
For instance can you or somebody else tell me the phone number of Ambulance, Fire service or Police in Nigeria, Lagos? Although everybody has a handy or two in Nigeria, nobody knows those numbers because everybody knows that they are not going to help you anyway in case of emergency. Cannot really state the same for Detroit or Philadelphia...
IS it possibile to list safe zones in Lagos a place were you can mingle and get to feel the real life of Africa, since this one nation with a billion things to do. Also is there options of adrealine sports available along side to enjoy the pure bliss of this marvelous country, the above crimes are more common today in major developed and developing cities, but how often is it repeated and high risk areas is what I would love to know.

As far as safety is concerned, Nigeria is not exactly a prime example, especially for foreigners. Kidnapping of expats unfortunately is very common, as the perpetrators can often expect large ransoms from international companies. Muggings and theft are widespread, and home invasion is a near-constant threat, even in guarded compounds.
Again, expats are a lucrative target for criminals, as they are, in general, likely to be wealthy. It would generally be wise not to wander around on your own, especially at night. Some areas of the country should be steered clear of completely in order to avoid problems with criminals or the Nigerian authorities (see below). The horrendous road conditions are, of course, an additional cause for concern.
The dangers of traffic in Nigeria are not limited to those we mentioned on Transport and Education in Nigeria. Carjacking is common, so please remember to keep your doors locked and your windows closed at all times. Because of the opp
Thank you for your information.
By the way, I should say that, it seems you have the same problem with some people, always looking for someone to 'seek for legal action' and especially when they 'play the race card' of perceived prejudice. It seems as though 'fringe lunacy' exists in nearly every part of our world!
Perhaps your relying on a newspaper's survey will do u no good . If you are so sure of what you are doing, you should be able to prove and provide a more logical source of info not a politically instrumented mechanism such as a newspaper . Before you publish any of such info online, you should have your free unbiased survey done.
Anyway, expect to hear from us.
Babs.
Perhaps you can take a legal action against Tribune:

http://tribune.com.ng/index.php/features/48046-lagos-where-the-hunters-now-become-the-hunted
They said: "The increasing rate of criminal activites in Lagos, the nation’s commercial capital city, seems to have taken another dimension as armed robbers and other hoodlums now lay siege to the state."
BTW, if you think these information are not correct, you can contribute your perceptions about crime to the website.
The similar surveys are done by government officials in some cities and if you think you can prevent shadow statistics at the Internet I think you are wrong.
Does your terms of use guarantee your snagging of a race , nation or tribe?.
Beacause as far as i can see you are snagging my own state and this is what i call racism at the highest level. Mind you, this is a global age and informations published here goes far.
FYI , am taking a legal action against this publication, expect to hear from me soon.
please look up at "terms of use" link at the bottom of the website.
i have very serious concerns on the level of safety info you have published here and am curious to know how you have arrived at this statics.

i will also like to remind you that i will seek legal advice if you cannot prove the source of this info especially with regards to Lagos.
thanks,
