Abuja - Post Report Question and Answers

Morale among expats:

Medium - depends on the day really. Most people are here to do interesting and meaningful work, so that helps. - May 2013


Very low. - Jun 2009


Overall, I think it's really low. I really dislike it here, and the only saving grace about Nigeria are the other Americans I met and developed friendships with. My morale was high when hanging out with friends. - Sep 2008


Low to moderate. In coming to Abuja, there is a fair amount of pain and no real gain. It is possible to be content here, despite some of the things I've said (that's just reality in Nigeria) -- you just have to drop your expectations to nearly zero. - Aug 2008


Very low. Nigerians are a really difficult and unpleasant people to live with. Dealing with rude, pushy, arrogant, abrasive people day in and day out is frustrating, exhausting, and emotionally draining. - Jul 2008
