Hello Nick,

where are you coming in Delta state ?
is it Warri or Sapele region...

Sapele and Warri both places are comparatively not so good as far safety concern.

Abuja is far more safe.

I have spent 2 months in Sapele. i would suggest stay home or dont go out without any good reason.

People in Delta are mostly illiterate and msot of the time we have problem with community guys and union in Delta !

If you have good safe accommodation and you dont have to work late nights. you can try Delta.
i even walk daily on road in sapele and i didnt find any problem.聽 so, its not as bad as rated but yes its not quite safe place !

i hope its helpful for you.

well, i would say make everything clear before embarking for Delta state.

People are illiterate there and its difficult to work in Delta, this is my personal experience.

thanks

well Lagos is a commercial city of Nigeria.
I didn't spent long time in Lagos but Lagos is quite better as compare to Delta state.

Hi, Fawwad. I just like to know if you have idea on working at PORT-HARCOURT in Nigeria. Is safe to work there? safe from man made potential harm and also safe from natural diseases there like malaria? I have an offer there and the Total as our CLIENT.

I will really appreciate to have your insights/thoughts.

Thank you.
