Yes I actually worked there and in Port Harcourt in the east back in the day. Great memories. Your staying in VI the affluent area but I was housed on Banana Island but office was in VI.
P.S Check out Eko Atlantic while you are there. That man made island with Marina and infrastructure sounds promising.

oh wow, I've heard that Port Harcourt is quite a dangerous area. I will be staying in VI, but will be moving around the mainland part as well.
Is there anything to consider? I have been before to countries like Iran, Pakistan, Kenya, Zambia etc. so I assume Nigeria is the same where you just keep your eyes peeled and maintain some︀ level of streetsmarts and you will be fine.
Have you ever run into any sort︁ of trouble there?

Nothing will happen especially in VI as its rich folks place. But be alert if going out after dark on your own I guess.
I was there many years ago and things will have changed. Never had any issues. On VI︀ you will see a lot of affluent expats, businessmen as they and politicians are really︁ only ones that can pay extortionate property prices and rents on VI 😕. Makes London︂ seem cheap by comparison.

Check out the local stock market. I just read this interesting article about the bargain value of African stocks:

You need a local brokerage account to trade, so you might be able to open a local brokerage account while in-country.

years back I had a friend who went there, he was dump enough to bang a hooker, nothing bad happened but then he went over a river, when he came back, he got into the hospital and had some strange worm in his intestines. I can tell you he does not go through a river in︀ Nigeria again 😀
