I am a Nigerian living in the USA and looking to move back home. I am 28 years old, have my MBA in Strategic Management and a BS in Accounting all from the USA. I have worked in corporate America for about 6 years. My motivation to move back home is to get back into the Nigerian system before I get too old. I would like to gradually settle in - possibly find a job first and then eventually start my own business. I don’t want to be like Nigerians that have been in the USA for several decades and have nothing to show for it. I have not been home in 12 years mainly because my siblings are all outside the country and my dad comes to visit us.

I have a really young family: my husband is Nigerian and we have a 1 year old “baby”. I keep hearing Nigeria has changed, and that I should make more frequent trips home to start getting used to the system again. I am a citizen of the USA so shuttling between both countries should not be an issue in the future.

My question: should I stay in the USA, get my accounting certification and PHD before moving home. Or get a job in Nigeria and move home within the next year or two? I know getting a job in Nigeria could be a nightmare but hey…

Please help!
