Living in Nigeria with malaria risks during pregnancy?
Question by Emily: Living in Nigeria with malaria risks during pregnancy?
is there anyone out there that can assist me. i’ve just received a very lucritive offer to work in Nigeria. there is so many choices to be made but the main concern at this stage is the malaria. My wife and i are planning to have a baby as soon as possible and we are so worried about the risk factors. Any info will be greatly appreciated.

Stay home or leave the wife at home. Nigeria is a very dangerous country for many reasons besides the malaria. Just finding a modern hospital for her to have the baby in will be almost impossible. Money is not worth your safety or the health of your family.

malaria is not good for person ==> very bad to pregnacy.
Leave ur wife home or not have baby while u are there. In Nigeria, not only malaria but also a lot of things u have to worry about, infetious diseases, parasites, living conditions, water, …
It is really your call, but if you live in a place such as the United States of America (USA), I would highly suggest you leave your wife and baby there, so she/he can be born with citzenship. Otherwise, living conditions are not too bad. This may be hard to belive but, there are less dieased people in Nigeria, than many countries world wide, such as the USA. Raising your child in a foreign land will make them smarter and culutrally aware, go for it. Just make sure that you & your wife get malaria vaccines, in Nigeria, malaria is not considered a big disease, more or less a cold that you can get vitamins to cure you with. Only drink Eva water, because Eva is a Coca Cola company. Also make sure you boil all water, and only eat certain foods that are from international companies, that you are familiar with. If your child is born in Nigeria, as they do things explain to them the difference between their and where you are origianlly from. If you go, remember biol water to prevent infections!!!!!!!
p.s. it is your call
Before I go into the malaria talk… I like to ask are you sure the offer is genuine? how did you get to apply for the job, r u sure they don’t just want your money?
There are ppl in Nigeria – even ppl from other countries. They and their families stay in Nigeria. If the job is real and good you too will get by and be very happy here in Nigeria.
