Hello everyone. I am coming to Nigeria April - July 2014 and could really use some referrals, and resources. I am building a very unique gourmet coffee and tea business there. Would love to meet with locals in Lagos so they can take me under their wing so to speak and show me the ropes! My email is [email protected] or skype is bajalife01 Thank you so very much in advance!

Its a good idea to speak to locals and get the to assist you with advice to get your business of the ground in Abuja/Lagos.

Nigeria has quite a unique and complex business culture and I would recommend you take a look at the Doing Business in Nigeria page to get you started.

Is there an online community of Expats in Nigeria...people I can connect with and talk with people that are there? Where would you direct me. This site is great but I want to connect with people as I am leaving next week.
