hi folks,
looking like i will be taking a job involving a month in nigeria. i know there's a few working photojournalists lurking about so i was hoping if any of you have experience within the country you could drop me a line.
looking for info re; visa requirements for photojournalists, travel visa requirements, fixer contacts, safe travel tips, lodging info and anything in between.
i appreciate any and all input!
cheers

i am indeed aware. i will be working for an ngo who is already operating within the country and there is existing budget and infrastructure for security.
i don't think the french are the only folks saying "stay away"... it seems fairly unanimous.
thank you for your well wishes richard.

ps. i'm glad you're back. (did you leave?)

Richard, with all due respect, your link is for Niger, not Nigeria. Nigeria is even worse

still on the hunt for any contacts within the country! i know a few of the old press grunts might have a tip or two...
as well, looking for an online back-up similar to digital railroad? was about to set up with photoshelter but thought i'd go fishing for suggestions and/or idea's?
