Ask more detail questions on what you want the this forum can help you. You will definitely need a car and a driver though. I have both, a driver with his own car and a second car I bought cash and a driver I hired. SO, you can do either depending on what you need and how much you are willing to spend. Good luck!

I agree with you however because she will be living here alone it would be safer for her to live in a compound that is close to the new campus like 5th settlement or rehab which has alot of foriegners and markets inside with security all the way around it... virtually no crime rate and she wont have to pay so much to go to college if she gets a taxi or car I believe from rehab to the school will be about 30 le max... because it is so close... if there is no traffic it will be much less. anyway i just thought i would share this
