Lagos - Post Report Question and Answers

Is it easy to make friends with locals here? Are there any prejudices or any ethnic groups who might feel uncomfortable here?

Yes, they are very welcoming and encouraging of participating in their culture. - Mar 2024


I tend to stay in the expat bubble, but have colleagues that have mixed very effectively with locals. - Aug 2020

Others find it harder as they live in an expat bubble where their only interactions with local staff are colleagues at the Consulate. - Jul 2020
