I haven't lived in Lagos but from my friends and dad's experience, housing in Lagos can be really expensive. In addition, I know most companies would not let a foreigner live in any location and so, housing would be expensive except if the company would be proving you with the accommodation. There isn't much safety glitch in Lagos just some basic you might have know, seeing that you don't have any experience concerning intentional traveling. This information also applies to everyone travelling to a place for the first time, and that is trying to blend in and not stand out. Well, that would not entirely be possible seeing that you are Indian but it will help if you don't ask too many questions to strangers. Reserve your questions for your office colleagues. To add to this, accept house party invitations as this is the fastest way of meeting new people and making friends.
Secondly in order to cut down on expenses, owning a car would be a cheaper option, would be cheaper if the organization has an official bus that picks their staff in the morning hours. Also if there is some kind of food stuff you know you absolutely can't live without (Joking) make sure to travel with them because foreign food products can be very expensive, unlike in east African countries where some also eat Indian related food. But first confirm from the Nigerian authorities there in Indian what food products can be allowed into the country and which can't be.
Thirdly we Nigerians always like to think of ourselves as the most welcoming and cheerful people. To a certain degree that's true but occasionally we don't all know how to express what we really mean. We might say thing we truly don't mean as well as sometimes be aggressive. Just don’t take any action personally and last of all we are loud people. Not just loud in speech but in our behavior, dressing, how we host our events…. And the list can keep going, but when you truly integrate into to the society you wouldn’t want to leave
