I am currently working as a lawyer in London but eagerly want to move back to Nigeria. Tired of UK life and want to be close to family. Could someone advise me on how I go about trying to get a job in Nigeria. For example, is there a good place I can register my CV?

I have a First Class, Distinction in Masters, Distinction in Law School, plus 5 years plus work experience from two of the biggest law firms in the world so have something of a golden CV so there must be something somewhere back home for me but don't know how to go about making it happen. Doesn't necessarily have to be a law job as would consider a career change if the opportunity is right. Would have to be something that pays well enough to make it worth giving up my job for though given that I am on £123k basic. Don't expect that I will be able to find anything that pays that kind of money but considering I am paying 40% tax and things are much cheaper in Nigeria even something much less than that may still live me with similar disposable income.

Interesting! Please send your resume to me - biosoftng@yahoo.com and we can start to discuss from there. Regards.

And you want to come back to Nigeria, ?

I am a lawyer with 3 years experience and a masters degree from swansea university,i am currently in the country job scouting and my advice to you is to set up your own firm then draw clients from your link in the UK who have matters relating to shipping and other such areas in africa cos the best paying law firm wouldnt even consider paying you 5 million naira a year.Law firms dont pay well in nigeria so your best bet would be to use your experience and get a well paying job in another sector that is if you must come back.
