You might emails from different companies regarding job opportunity and asking for some processing fee, you will be promised a guaranteed job application with highly lucrative salary and other benefits but be double sure, and do some research on the offering because Nigeria does not have that strong economic status.

You may get emails from different sources about investment plans with high return on investments and partnership deals with organizations. Credit scams are the most common and easy targeting in Lagos and we have already discussed that in our previous episode of this series.

Riots, Violence, and Law & Order:

When it comes to social security Lagos does not have a good reputation for that. Riots & violence can erupt anytime and anywhere. If you have some local friends then do ask them about the areas to avoid because of bad law & order situation. As a security precaution, keep the doors and windows of your car and home locked. And as we mentioned in our previous post that do make some local friends because in case of any panic situation your local friend can take you to a secure place nearby, else you may lost your way in finding a safe place when riots erupt.
