Op...here are some resources you may find useful as an Indian in Nigeria.

http://www.expatarrivals.com/article/interview-with-anvaya-an-indian-expat-living-in-lagos-nigeria
https://www.internations.org/nigeria-expats/indians
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hinduism_in_Nigeria

Apparently there are over 200,000 Indian expats in Nigeria. There are also some Nigerian born Indians same with the Lebanese.

Op to be honest you set the tone for what you experienced here. It is not bad to ask about safety but if you are going to place you should have some respect for the people there.

Nigeria is just like anywhere when it comes to safety. I stayed a month in Abuja recently alone and was fine even though I am a female also. Is there bombing yes, but while I was in Nigeria Paris was bombed, my hometown London has been bombed many times over the years. There are many Indians and other Asians in Nigeria especially Lagos and Abuja. There are also lots of Indian restaurants where you can eat your home food. There are also Bollywood movies too. I find Nigerians to be warm and friendly but they switch if they feel you think they are beneath you.

You are not the only person that has come and asked advice about travelling to Nigeria but they had a respect for Nigerians and Nigeria in their questioning.

If you go to Nigeria you'll enjoy it and be welcomed.

Thank you

Indiabwoy ....salam namaste

You have just been baptised with the Nigerian spirit
Alot of indians live in Nigeria from Kaduna to Lagos to Enugu all the way down to calabar and no one is using their head for nkwobinkwobi so don't worry ...just avoid the north east before we will watch DEVDAS 2

IF YOU are coming please get me some bluray copies of my name is khan and pk
I watch Indian movies so much that I even imagine myself getting married to SRK. (HAHAHAHAHAH).
He made me cry so much in Kal ho na ho and how can I ever forget Veer Zara, Devdas, before they started acting thrash buh ma name was Khan is a hit!
Re: Is It Safe For Indian Like Me To Visit Nigeria by gustav25: 11:20pm On Mar 07, 2016
Since 2013 srk have been releasing just commercially successful movies but not movies we know him for that captivates heart .....but I have a feeling that his next movie FAN will just be it because an srk+yashraj films combo is just like srk+dharma or srk+bsanlai ......it can never go wrong ....my most anticipated movies this year are fan and dangal by aamir khan.

Srk is the king of bossing hearts of millions both male and female worldwide .....he is the reason I got to know much about india.Before I used to hear from people that India movies are just about dancing but around 2007 when I watched ddlj and tararumpum,my opinion change and I was welcomed into a world of soulful captivating awesome stories translated into movies and I have watched all his movies from dewana to paheli to pardes to veer zaara to hey ram to anjaam to darr to baazigar to yes boss to dilwale of 2015.
He is the No1 movie star in the world as of today and the second richest

I love SRK .......my name is khan is my best movie ever and honestly it deserved an OSCAR for the story and srks superb acting

Sis you are not the only girl ooo....ever his co female actors would love the cherry but he sticks with the woman who was with him before fame

There is no such thing as a fatherland. It is the mother that gives birth and nurtures everything on it. The people, the plants, the animals , the land must always be a mother.

SRK's days are over. His career is downhill after he made some anti-national comments.

His last movie was a flop coz ppl refused to attend.

Hi its my dream to visit Nigeria since childhood. My top destination. but my parents didn't let me go because they feared for my life. They thought I'd be kidnapped or something like that or else exploded by a bomb.

I wish to visit Nigeria but can I be targeted for my nationality and held at ransom or something like that?

Also most Nigerians hate Indians, even though they like our movies (I hate bollywood btw. rubbish.) or our hair.


hi bro. I apologise if u weren't given a suya me answer. Nigeria is still a safe country (provided u dont visit deep north)
2. Nigerians don't hate Indians. but they might not like them too.

Hindus don't eat cow and the mostly are vegetarians(thanks Bollywood)because cows are reverend by the hindus and this led to anarchy last year when a Muslim man killed a cow
