Expenses in Lagos, Nigeria?

Dear Friends, A big hello to you all at the outset … I am a Senior Indian HR professional with close to 20 years of rich corporate exposure. Recently, I am being offered a job in Lagos, Nigeria. Well, I have no question about the organization as it is known to me and it is indeed a big MNC, widely reputed. Friends I am also aware about Nigerian Social infrastructure and other unwanted disturbances may cause trouble. I would not like to bother you to raise those issues. My enquiries are as followings: 1.Please let me know what would be the monthly expenses behind food per month for 2 adults? I can understand this varies depending on individuals. But to have a standard daily living what is required? 2.If we plan to go out inside Nigeria for 2-3 days what could the cost? 3.If we need to dine outside in a good restaurant once in week, what would be the cost? 4.What could be the cost of garments? I mean, any idea about shopping (minimum, as again it depends on individual) cost, if we do shopping once in month, I am talking about purchasing garments. 5.What is the cost of petrol/diesel out there? 6.Any idea about cost of electronics goods? 7.Monthly electricity cost 8.Monthly Gas Charge 9.Monthly mobile charge 10.Well, if an employer provides all required in a month (like, Furnished House + Car with driver & oil + Maids + Electricity + Gas + Water Charge + Laundry + Journals, periodicals + may be all others), then also how much USD or Local currency is required to have in hand on monthly basis? Thanking you in advance.
