Really good topic again, it is the dream of alot of us to work back home in Nigeria and in a way do our own part in nation Building but sometimes, the so called Nigerian Employers really take the mick of u

i recently applied for a job in Nigeria (reputable firm in engineering built a very big FPSO recently) and the first response i got was do u want to be employed as an expatriate or do u want to relocate

i replied in asking for the difference and the company's representative (note, i did not say the company becos i belive management would not approve the reply) says WE DO NOT RECRUIT BLACK AS EXPATRIATE,

i recieve a phone call and i asked ok, if i am relocating back to nigeria, what are the benefits, at least my flight ticket should be paid and she goes No,we would not do that and i promptly told her to forget about it,

its not worth going back to generator fumes & noise, ole & agbero, nepa et al for a company that is as crass as that

i think companies shld employ and train people for HR jobs and not just draft in anybody who has a degree

i am still very much interested in going home some day when the company is sensible
