I've worked in Nigeria and it's an interesting place. We paid a local company to take care of our people and us westerners weren't allowed out without our local minders/drivers.

Armed guards aren't as effective as you might think. We had a mini-bus hijacked despite having an armed guard on board. The attackers put several rounds into the bus then forced the driver and guard out of the vehicle. Fortunately, there were no passengers on board at the time.

I've not been to Pakistan, but I understand the there are serious security concerns in some regions.
