They are masters in scamming and they can "shashè" the foreign companies, hence, non patronage. 1 Like |

It is risky and waste of time to work as a developer for small or medium size companies or organisation in Nigeria, they pay peanuts. I prefer working for the Global shipping industry. 1 Like |

DSTVee: I left Nigeria in 2019 to join a start up in Berlin as a Lead Backend Engineer. At the time I joined I was the first and only black person in the company but by the time I left in October 2021 they had hired 3 more black engineers and everyone of them was Nigerian. Delivery Heroes (DH) in Berlin is one company that is known to have many Nigerian engineers. There are many such companies here in Germany. Companies only care about their bottom line and if they've hired a great engineer from a particular demographic they are more likely to hire more from that demographic. Most companies would ask their engineers for recommendations when hiring. It use to be that due to Nigeria's bad rap on internet scams, payment related companies were reluctant to hire Nigerian but that is no longer true as I know Nigerians working in Wise and N26. Nigerian engineers are doing pretty well in Berlin because many that came ahead have proven their value which makes it easier to get hired especially if you do well in interviews. As for links, personally I got my first job that brought me to Berlin through talent.io. I got my current job via LinkedIn. Greenhouse.io and indeed.com are some options too. A friend who has been in Berlin now for over 3 years got her first job by applying to companies on the who's hiring thread on hacker news (news.ycombinator.com). In summary: 1. Foreigners don't trust Nigerians: False 2. People will tell you blah: I just listed some sites above 3. After struggling a while...: Nothing good comes easy. Hone your skills. Fortune favors the prepared 4. Our name has spoil...: Bullshit! Just as scammers and drug dealers have spoiled our name overtime a new crop of hardworking, talented and driven Nigerians are undoing the damage done one heart at a time, one company at a time. Be that person that will help make things easier for other Nigerians after you. 20 Likes 5 Shares |

SmartPolician: About time someone said something meaningly. There are a couple of these guys that good wed developers and programmers can work with even while resident in Nigeria. Some of them eventually sponsor you to relocate after proving your worth over couple of months of churning out quality works. here are a few; Honeypot - https://app.honeypot.io/ref/jsJxhatKrjvyptZY4PamAbYp RelocateMe - https://www.relocate.me 1 Like 1 Share |
