The safety situation here has deteriated some. There have been a string of robberies on Victoria Island and Ikoyi, normally safe places. Criminal gangs have been hitting restaurants, small hotels and apartment buildings.
One of the buildings occupied by employees from my company has been attacked. The other day a gang came in and tied up the guards and went from apartment to apartment tying up the people before robbing them. My building has not been hit.
But other than that things are fine.
I've finally gotten Skype working so I can make cheap phone calls to the states.
