@Filthy:
Has anyone here ever been to Nigeria? I just got word that I am to go there in January…
A couple of friends are Nigerian, and I can ask them if there's anything you need to know.
I was just basically wondering of it is a dangerous place to go to. I have a meeting with the company Monday and I guess I can ask them.

I'd check with the US State Department about travel advisories and current political climate

Boko haram sounds fun.

Anyone tried Mack Weldon tech cashmere? I got a set on the way. I know their 18 hour knit underwear is pretty great. It feels pretty luxurious under a pair of Iron Heart jeans…
I was happy to see they shipped my order within one hour of ordering. I like the navy heather color too.

I've got a feeling that kidnapping is a big risk, particularly if you're seen as being a rich foreigner.
A couple we know went back to Nigeria at the beginning of the year to get married, and the groom's cousin was snatched. Fortunately they got him back in one piece.

I have been to Lagos, not in a hurry to get back.
The main thing is to only eat at hotel restaurants and not wander the streets after dark - it wasn’t much fun but it didn’t appear dangerous in the daytime when sticking to the ”business areas”.Context: I’v been living in Jakarta which for many is awful but I really enjoy as it still has that sort of an untamed frontier-town feeling to it; anything might happen on any given day and very often does. In Jakarta not many things work but Lagos seemed like thatˆ2 and the atmosphere was altogether much more sinister.

@Filthy Given the current dangers of Nigeria, is there any way you could tell the company that you won't go? I don't know of any job that's worth risking your life for.

unfortunately, no. Not unless I quit. They tell me I am going to be staying at a compound with other workers and there are armed guards. So it shouldn't be any more dangerous than when I have to work in other dangerous places.

I'm pretty stoked to get my stuff. Cashmere/ merino wool long johns sound pretty excellent.
