Stop it with the Lagos, Nigeria bashing. I've been there several times and have not had any problems there, ever. No, it's not a touristy town, but I have had good times there with the local people, and also with the expat business community.
I am in Angola right now, and it's okay too.
I also have a residence in Houston, which is a wonderful city, and a well kept secret from the rest of the USA. I was raised for the most part in Los Angeles, and prefer Houston much more to L.A., or other US cities I have lived in such as D.C. and NYC.
