Well, I would say it depends on the course you are studying and the career path you want to follow. You have to bear in mind that some secctors are not fully developed in Nigeria while others are saturated. So I guess the first step is stating ur course and the career path you want to pursue.

If you want to start your own business, you might enjoy Nigeria better.  Otherwise, you should stay in the UK and earn your Euros well.  Please don't come to Nigeria to start looking for jobs.  Do that in the UK!

Seun am curious as to why he should not go back to Naija to search for a job.
@gbeborun
My suggestion would be to stay in the UK and get a job with a company that would pay for your ACCA.ACA/CIMA or whatever qualifications you want to get. I don't know what your status in the UK is. But if you need a work permit, your options are somewhat limited. Companies that recruit international students include KPMG, Pwc, Ernst and Young and Deloitte. If you have a residence permit, there is a lot of other places you can apply to. There are loads of opportunities available out there and you have execllent grades so I'll say you stand a very good chance of getting a worthwhile job. After working for say three years and your qualificatiosn done, a move to Nigeria might make sense then. I think KPMG or one of these comapnies encourage that, work here with them for three years and go back to your home country and work for them. Any other questions you have, ask away. I'll be happy to answer them.

I am starting a website that would provide information for careers in the UK for international students. I thought it would be ready by Sept 1st but been quite busy with other stuff. When its up and running, I'll provide the link and you would be able to get great advice from there. Goodluck with your career.
