You'll apply for a work permit

Send CV on company website or arrange appointment with HR managers

Send your cv in on Nigerian job portals and make sure you get an offer before coming down. Searching for jobs in Nigeria can fustrate your dreams at times.

Well Kamardiran, I'm not necessarily leaving forever, I plan to return to the good Ol' USA but I have never worked outside the US before, and I think I should take that venture. Plus the majority of my friends are Nigerian born and raised, a lot of them are going back. So I figured if you travel to a foreign country, go somewhere where you know someone.

Nigeria is a cool place to live, we only plague by bad leadership.

I have not visited the country, will be in August to see an old friend, but what I have heard that Nigeria is actually cooler, temp wise, than the part of TX I live in lol. So that is already a bonus smiley
