It suddenly came to me to write this book about how to cope when you first arrive in Nigeria. Having been abroad myself for the past 30 years; re-adjusting to the Nigerian environment was very perplexing, and I thought it must be even more so for foreigners. So this book is targeted not only at Europeans and other Africans who may be visiting Nigeria for the first time, but also to Expatriate Nigerians who may or may not have touched our soil in decades, and who definitely need a refresher course judging by my own experiences having returned to Lagos in 2010.Even though Nigeria is an English speaking country previously a British Colony the unofficial accepted language is Pidgin English and as such the use and translation of simple English words in Pidgin English differ widely and have meanings that would baffle you.....!Hopefully this book will help to dispel any confusion in communicating locally and make your stay a vibrant, enlightening and enjoyable experience.

The most populous nation in Africa and one of the world's most populous nations is Nigeria, which has a population of over 200 million. With such a large population comes increased competition for few opportunities and resources, which results in the survival of the fittest. Hard labor has its rewards, which cannot be understated. Laziness promotes mental poverty, which results in failure and the inability to perform anticipated obligations and responsibilities. Whatever job you have, you must put in a lot of effort. If you don't put in a lot of effort in the face of increasing competition, you'll eventually lose out in the race for survival to others. Please Get a Copy Now!
