thanx david, but do u think i stand a chance? i mean, i come from a poor home that doesn't have connections in high places. this is what scares me about home, having to know people before one gets anything. i really need to pursue this career.africa needs help and yet young educated people dont have the opportunity to utilise their full potentials. let's watch and see. but all the same thanx for the advice |

UNICEF, UN or WHO employs people of your skills set. You hit the nail on the head when you talked about connections. Don't be discouraged, keeping knocking and a door might just open for you.

Hi Toshmann, u r a lucky chap, Dauda is perfectly right, u guys are in hot demand in W.H.O, i recently did Ad-Hoc assignment with them, and was advised to pursue a career in MPH if i aspire to work with the organisation.
So my guy, dont be scared, the world is a global place n even from UK u can log on to their website n check out the vacancies n send in your application. UN is a world body and u dont need to be in Nigeria to work here.
All da best ma bro, I'm just a Bachelor's Degree holder and will soon start my Masters degree.
Take care.

Give it a shot toshman, a degree from the UK already gives you an edge over others. Best of luck.

Guy, with your Masters, you can work anywhere for Naija. As long as you know your way, you can even become an engineer. No be naija.
