I think an MBA from LBS is well regarded in nigeria dont know about other countries though
But i suppose with good extensive experience your colors will shine through once you are in

@ pak good thing your post didnt show up, sounds like a joke!

The import of this ranking is that :

1. LBS is the second best business School in Africa
2. LBS is only bettered by 4 out of the roughly 100 business schools in the UK
3. LBS is better than every business school in Germany
4. LBS is better than evry biz school in the whole of eastern europe save one
5. LBS is better than every biz sch in the whole of asia aside those with affiliations in other parts of the world

Can anybody in the house tell me which schools run MBA programmes in Abuja. Thanks.

simple question:
which will employers in nigeria go for 1st:
Ba(hons) , MBA + 2 yrs work experience overseas
Ba(hons) , 5 yrs work experience overseas + couple of professional certificates
I'm asking this because everyone 1 know is either looking to go for their MBA or already got it(even ppl with very good jobs in nigeria) I have a friend who was working in Intercontinental bank and was paid well, he left his job to come and get his MBA in UK. I think he was with the bank for 3 yrs. So i ask myself,why would anyone leave his good paying job to go and study (get Mba or Msc) only for to return to nigeria and start looking for job again 

I think the MBA was a global fad, not just limited to Nigeria.

It's a bit more difficult in Nigeria, as there are no clear job requirements for any job per se. At least we know that Ivy League MBAs were in demand in the US financial, primarily as some sort of marketing tool. You know, Goldman Sachs or Morgan Stanley like to posit to their clients that they have teams of Harvard or Wharton grads managing their money. It may have also been some sort of elitist raising-the-bar sort of thing, making the stakes to join these companies higher.

In Nigeria, it was more of a follow-the-trend sort of thing, given the gross unpreparedness of the average Nigerian graduate for work. I mean, the average Nigerian graduate usually needs to be trained in every work skill imaginable. The foreign MBAs came with a work-ready perception that they would not require any serious re-skilling, and could even be put into supervisory positions. As most employers have found out, that was largely not the case.

When you say 'work experience overseas', what kind of work experience? If we are talking finance, if you were an ACCA or CFA with relevant work experience and a good bachelors degree, I doubt that anybody would turn their nose down at you. The problem usually is that people compete more with certificates rather than experience. When it's like that, it becomes a case of 'may the best-looking resume win'.

^^ Nice post AjanleKoko

Really, at the end of the day it's what's in you that matters.
Most of us in Nigeria just join the bandwagon.

We keep acquiring certificates at all cost even if it means buying them.
I just wish we could de-emphasize paper qualifications

The most successful people in the world ain't the ones with the most qualifications.

Not in Nigeria these days . . . its best to get all the professional certificates you can

Says who? Nobody even requires half of those things in Nigeria.
Except someone is just sorry for you and decides to help you with a job, they don't really mean much here.
