Ahh My*** marrawian***. forgive the jokes. I know a lot of Malawians find it hard to pronounce their L's and R's.

Once you get to Naija or before, you can contact the church they will give you logistics on how to get there.

If you are going to be trying out a lot of dishes, you will need that Peptobismal or gaviscon, trust me

I hear you about exploring, I have enough stamps on y passport but haven't ventured into West African territory yet.
Nigeria will be my first (tempted to visit Ghana whilst I'm at it, no visa but cash and time limitations).

I love, love Egusi soup.....it's 10/10, I could eat it everyday....with lots of ponmo in it.
Looking forward to trying it on home turf, since the fine skimp on palm oil and bitter leaf, they use spinach imagine lol ha ha...
I want to try the famous Suya etc.

I have a to-eat list....yes, I'm a proud foodie

Thanks for the best wishes.

Wow, good you love egbusi, be careful with Suya though. It has pepper.

And I know you guys from the South don't like pepper.

I once cooked a soup meat with Nigeria grounded pepper, then my female neighbour SA ate some. She kept crying "I don't believe you can do this to me" after taking just one bit of peppered meat.

Since that day she never asked to eat again.

Hope you can eat pepper cos we Yoruba people love pepper and em Suya has pepper also.

Goodluck!

Veron265:


My bros....you're such an idiot lol haha
Abeg 'Malawi' is never 'broken' regardless of one's L and R syndrome status.
I'll have you know.....even the Chinese and Thai folk suffer from it......and our cousins in Zambia, our vernacular uses the L and R interchangeably at times.

That said, will try to contact them for the logistics.
Thing is, I've filled in the questionaire and followed up with the fone call.
I didn't like that I was told there's a long list and I should consult an 'agent'.

I'll makw my way up and see how it works out....I'm dedicating 14 days to it.

Gaviscon will be packed....that's a familiar brand.

You seem very conversant with Sadc and it's ways....noice

All49ja:


Wow, good you love egbusi,

jayriginal:


Why on earth do you call it that? I thought it was a typo the first time. Lose the "b".

All49ja:


Lol forgive my tone. Sorry boss.

Perhaps varied dialects etc......

Update

It turns out my southy friend has departed last night's flight.
I'm curious and excited to hear how it will go, how she'll like it etc.

True to what you folks said, the SA-9ja based companies are willing to lend and ear.
LinkedIn has done wonders, plus her known contacts etc.

As for me....I await a few pieces to come together

@ Afrikanbabe
How is the job hunt going?
Is it not better you're on the ground in 9ja rather than here in mzansi?

I ask this because.....your story is a tad similar to mine....I recently relocated back to Mzansi....being here doing the search feels better. Although it's all web-based applications etc.
One interview thus far.....

Sure, I did all my schooling here and couldn't wait to head back and conquer MW...gave it a go and I think I'm better off here....

So I know this need to want to secure something prior to arrival.
But sometimes, one must take the leap of faith.
You know the turf, you have connects there....gather enough cash and tsamaya....we can go to SCOAN together if you like.....what will you have to lose right? Yes, no, maybe?

The job hunting is going dear. Slowly but surely.
I guess sometimes being on ground works better... hmm. To tell you the truth, I'm seriously considering that route - to be in there..

I've been watching emmtv of late and maybe visting scoan could be an option.

Let's connect

morpheus24:


Good for her. tell her to send you video and pic updates if she can so you can see for yourself.

Good luck

Veron265:


I've seen pix of the trip she took to the fish market.
Fish i haven't seen before....
(Malawi and it's stocks fresh water fish only)

She's fascinated by the 'gate-man, maid, driver' life....but that too no be new ting for me..... it's common place for the ROA I guess....

I'm awaiting more fotos.....July seems too far oo

@Pidgin2. She's sorted with accommodation etc. But I'm sure she can't be hosted forever either.

@Afrikanbabe she's got some job talks lined up ....I'll tell her you're looking for a marketing position...

Hello Nairalanders,

I am a South African woman very interested in relocating to Lagos, Nigeria. I've lived in the country before so I'm quite familiar with the people, food and culture. I love the energy in Nigeria despite the hardships.
I would like to find out how South Africans living in Nigeria get their jobs, via international recruiters or friends or how? Also, how easy is it to organize the right papers? I am not looking to marry for green card oo... unless genuine love is concerned.

So any advice or leads, I'd really appreciate. Thank you folks

afrikanbabe:


Well well.. what do fellow Nairalanders think of being based in Nigeria via a Niger wives visa
