lol. just a worker  

Any senior engineer with over 11 years experience from the UK or USA , having worked with major blue chip companies on up to $1b customer contracts, must be mad to accept less than 2m without house and car allowance.

you act like people owe you some money, it is theirs to give. if you cant accept it you simply dont. why not remain in london if you are concerned about the worth of your curriculum vitae ?. the fact remains that if you are not in charge of controlling the actions of men to achieve a common goal, then you are simply a worker. its the truth.

So , how much would you suggest that such a person as described in my earlier post should earn, without taking into consideration car and housing.

Tell me

Hello fellow Nigerians.

abegi patriot ke, cameron is making things hot for foreigners. don't give us any bull about patriotism. just say long throat 

2m per month - oil co workers and BIG ogas

mind you , outside of oil co's most other companies that pay that kind of money take their pound of flesh.

I love my country,

A big Joke

A big Joke

its like everything else in this world, those who got in early are the lucky ones. just like during the IT boom in england in the late nineties to mid 2000s. you could ask for as much as 60 pounds an hour and get it. those who got in early got paid. now the market is saturated.

same thing in nigeria. the foreign graduates who got in early got paid. now every nigerian and his mother with a foreign degree have all flocked to nigeria. the market is saturated bruh. the price has dropped.

If you are really that skilled, I dont see the reason for you to move to naija. You could be be contracting forever on ridiculous daily rates in UK.

Thanks for the advice.

As I will be coming on my own, if any trouble ensues after the elections, I will make a dash for the nearest British Embassy

Companies that advertise through KPMG, Careers in Africa etc , do they pay Well ? If yes, in what region are we talking about.

Yea, most of their focus is top management they pay well. .

oh by the way google needs a country manager for Nigeria, you can give it a shot also

It is possible o. Oluomo earns more than that. Tokyo earns more too. You will be called 'chairman'.  

And, Adedibu never worked in his life. He was a multi-millionaire.

Na Naija we dey talk nau.

its a depressed economy in naija o

plenty layoffs, salary slashing etc.

the meltdown is also biting over here

the grass is brown everywhere

I think the OP is looking for work as a professional, not as a gardener

At poster - I would tread carefully

A Friend of my mine recently got a job in Nigeria as an Executive director for Starcomms and  his salary was 21 Millon Naira and was also given a 3br flat in Lekki and an official car the guy is back in the U.K after about 5 months in Nigeria.  Working in Nigeria is different ball game  - Your integrity will surely be tested and your fellow workers  will always ask you to compromise  in all matter.  for example My friend was expected to be part of team who rigged Annual general meeting shareholder votes and at some point their office was raided by EFCC

If you are spiritual type and dont want to go to hell  - ol boy stick your contracting in the U.K at least your invoices get paid on time.

@ poster,if u think naija problem lie only in d north,then u must ve another think coming ur way.

Hmm, I think this might be a problem for me, as i cannot under any circumstance compromise my integrity either with the company I work for or the police.

This is food for thought.

Naija is inn d league of pakistan right nowNmore sophisted than somalia and i don't think it will go away so easily

Thats what I get lectured on by friends working down in Nigeria. I got served a mouthful just some weeks ago when I asked a friend of mine to use his connections to get us some contracts. lol

The greedy are never satisfied

Those pictures don't do the figures you quoted any good oo. None of those in the pictures looks like they are worth close to $100,000 a year, let alone $300 000 a year. ROFLMAO!!!

I am not saying is all!!

i dey lauf ooooh.
what did u guys think happ. to the GREAT banking shares and stocks?
if you think  only pastor erasmus of int. cont. bk  is corrupt in 9ja., well rethink that.

Unfortunately my dear NLder you can not work or Last in Nigeria   The typical Nja worker is corrupt to core.-  The other alternative will be start your business at least you will be lord and almighty of your business without compromising your integrity.

well in nigeria you have to factor in the sun. but do you really want to know how they are the upper echelon and cream of the crop in nigeria ? do you see all the stars amongst them ? all the celebrities ? even 9ice doesnt look too good in those pics. if your company launches a product and all nigerian celebrities fall in to join the celebration, thats like a fortune 500 company in nigeria. those people you see their are on 40 to 50 million naira per annum. maybe the white ones are on even more. maybe 100 million naira per annum. you know how arabs like to give money to white people because of some kinda complex.

I don't do star worship -- I compare what I am told with what I see. What stars? The Nigerian beauty queen in the picture? The other one dressed like a busboy? The ladies in the black scarves, dressed like Deeper life women, looking more like they couldn't find anything else to wear? The big lady in the flashy green getup? The man wearing the horrible hat to the formal? No, I mean the DIRECTORS who are supposed to be worth a lot more than they even look. And do not blame the sun. I know people in the same Nigeria who do not make $30,000 a month but when they show up for events, you know they at least make enough to dress well for it. None of the "directors" looks to be worth even $30,000 a year.

40 to 50 million (~ $ 300,000 a year)? Na wa oo!

Meanwhile with d level of ur education and experience,u should be thinking of creating jobs not searching in a virgin land

thats because you do not know the value of suits when you see them. most of those guys are wearing custom made saville row suits. thats at least 1000 pounds. you have to look at the subtle things. not the faces. look at the accessories.

One thing u guys must realize is that going back to naija is a sacrifice that d future generation might benefit from.

Yes, that would be the only way for you to explain away this one -- claim I do not know the value of shirts at all. Please do not assume all those you meet online are mugus! Accessories now? ROFLMAO!!!

Again, the pictures do not do not help the figures you have been throwing on this at all. Even the companies website caused me to initially question the existence of such a company to begin with . . .  Again, I am just saying, the info is not helping at all.

Was thinking exactly the same things.  Why do Nigerians with all the experience and training not create jobs for other Nigerians and carve a niche for themselves in the process?  

Are we that afraid of entrepreneurship?  

Who will create the jobs that folks with all the degrees will return to?

Just wondering. .

I am not going to Nigeria to start wearing expensive clothes, speak big grammar or even attend multiple big parties.

I am going to do a job, a professional one at that, get paid and take care of my family.

One major trait that puts me off Nigerian elite is the show off , big manism attitude, the pomposity and arrogance.

We British come from humble backgrounds

a company that reports billions of dollars in profit is a company you are trying to judge just from looking at their website ? now i can see how you judge people just by looking at them. here have a read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emirates_Telecommunications_Corporation
