After spending 3 years in scotland, i met my wife here and she(scottish) makes me the happiest man in the world.

The issue now is that i am relocating to Nigeria ans she is worried that she might not get a job and we'll have nothn to do.

Could anyone please advise me on  the job prospects of a foreigner in Nigeria?

First things first what course did your wife study or where does she work?
on a serious note una for discuss this kind matter before marriage. Abi did u just decide to come home all of a sudden?

She'll defin8ly get a job but I'll advice dat u both stay in Scotland! Naija is over populated!

she studied nursing. i finished my mba since 2006 in oil and gas management and there are no jobs in Scotland relating to my field at the moment. i feel i will be better off coming home to get into the industry.

guy y u dey fear. thr is no need for beef. relax keep fasting and praying God will help you in getting ahead, someday.

Teaching helps too. . . .

Yeah, she need not fear,she would get a job as long as she has a nice resumè.
But you sef,among the countries that actually manage oil and gas,you had to go to one that doesn't?? Why not relocate to anoda foreign country that will have jobs for you?
Nigeria really needs a reduction in migration!!

I would advice u to come down with her as u are likely to get a job immediately with an oil firm.
As for ur wife it is not really easy with nurses down here b/c majority of the jobs available are private clinic jobs and they are not even manageable. If she can exercise patient she can get a job in a teaching hospital with time.
This is manageable and this is going to give her enough time to take care of the kids
personally i am a nurse that just left the private clinics league to an oil firm. CHEERS.

unless ure talking of maybe Aberdeen with a course like yours something could come up but with this credit crunch
thats a great profession your wife got, medical people are always in demand. i dont think u guys got an issue as such perhaps just one of gathering courage and coming back home.All d best sha

Foreignor? hmmm. . . Common now,. . . Its easy to get a job in Naija. . . Wait a min. Does she have qualifications and does she have work experiences?

Cause I applied to a few just to try out the job market in naija and believe it or not, I got accepted to all

she's white? she'll get great teaching jobs in all the highbrow schools in Lagos with good pay.

see love

u no complete am now in scotland

spot on even private hospitals/clinics too. better one oh.

Well when you say leave what do you mean?


The end of the marriage or simply until you get settled in Naija and send for her?


Now, the age old - use what you have to get what you want.

If you have friends, family, etc NETWORK!!! Can't stress this enough, use your connections to get informed about possibilities and follow up on any leads

Find out what the requirements are for a non-Nigerian to enter into the Naija work force.

If you can afford it, maybe she can come with you to check things out, that way she's better informed and can make up her mind to move or remain in Scotland

Good luck with everything

Really am surprised to know there are less jobs to do with your certificate in Scotland, am saying this because i know a lot of oil companies here in Nigeria send their workers on training in Scotland.like i know of EXPRO in Aberdeen,so just keep on with the search.i must let you know that if you eventually bring her in while you guys are still young she will remain unhappy so thats the only sacrifice you will have to render for being married to a foreigner.good luck muan

zup bro! u ga hope to get a job(definitely),bt ur wife,i doubt,she read a good course no doubt(nursin)thts d fastest job to make u a billionaire in United State(meh!).Bt 4 naija, sorry,cuz even d nurse wey dey naija dey find way to ja.
Best of luck!!!!!

She'll defin8ly get a job but I'll advice dat u both stay in Scotland! Naija is over populated!

LMAO!!
Naija can never be over populated!

She'll find a job in naija. They will be more than happy to hire an 'oyibo'.

Poster, you should leave your wife in her country so that you could phock other ladies in your birth country
