You will still face the same recruitment process those with Nigerian certs will face. And if that's the case your ability to convince the interviewer is what will get you the job. If the Nigerian cert holder does that better then you know what that means. Your foreign cert won't save you.

As for me, if I should go outside to study then I don't have plans of coming back or there's a job waiting for me back home.

Yes, i understand your point but getting a job in abroad is getting difficult everyday because of many circumstances, i can't really explain.

Hint:
Immigration law
Nigeria integrity has been tampered with , we have not been given much attention because of Nigeria spoil image.

The simple truth is that Nigerian employers have no preference for foreign degrees. Hence, it's a waste of money on your own part if you're getting the degree to come and work here.

You should really stop spamming people's mailboxes with your messages. You're very annoying. Whatever you sell, I swear, I won't buy. Why not go do something useful with your life instead of annoying people with your name on their mailboxes?

Get a real job, apply to one. If you have a real job, face it squarely and stop intruding in my space.

They actually do.

Just that most employers are skeptical of foreign degree as it means they MIGHT have to pay more. I can't study in the UK and an employer will offer me 60k/month.

Btw, I wonder why people come back to Nigeria immediately after getting the degree. Stay back there and work and if they don't allow you, go to other countries.

With a recognized foreign degree, you have more chances of immigrating to immigrant friendly countries like Canada and Australia etc.

Thank you, I'm getting what I want... I actually finished my first degree in Nigeria and currently pursing my masters degree in South Africa and I will be through by next year, so I'm trying to find out if I should come back for a job or stay back, seriously I really don't know what to do right now...

Bros if u find a means to get your work permit try to stay there but if that did not work, there is a chance for you here in Nigeria as well. Never say Never!
I studied in foreign country, after my graduation I got a job but there is an issue with immigration that time especially with Naija image bcz of drugs trafficking. I returned back to Naija, after my service I got an offer with a private firm, within 6 months on the job without apply for the role, a foreign company where I studied called me for an interview, I got the job the same day.
Tip: try to update your CV on professional network (LinkedIn)
I wish you the best bros.

First, if there is a slight opportunity that you might get a job in SA please stay back for at least two years....but as per your question my Answer is simply yes they do have preference for foreign certification...it all has to do with your protential employer.....and if you serzly wish to come back after your programme start applying for jobs before you fly back into the country.
