In a country where the citizens are very docile as to allow the taxes paid from their hard-earned money and those collected from corporate bodies, including oil companies on their behalf to be frittered away by politicians at all levels there is only one reasonable answer:


POLITICS at any level is the 10 highest paying jobs in Nigeria

Sad but true !!!

The Lord forgive all y'all chantin church business.

Oil company is ok. They pay very well.

Me say, aristoring,gigolin.hospitality i.e hotels (try o twn). yahoo,kidnapping.bombing,drug pushing,child trafickn and PIMPING

Lmbao says who?
The pet of a white expatriate oil worker earns more in a day in feeding allowance compared to what a nigerian graduate working in an oil company would earn in a month!
Many animals owned by white expatriate staffs in oil companies in nigeria are rolling in the money just frm feeding allowance.Nigerian graduates earn peanuts in oil companies.

2.) Politics:

Accomplished people in this field: Omisore: High school drop-out, Former deputy Governor of osun-State; Bola Tinubu: BSC/reformed drug baron turn Yoruba leader, Former Governor of Lagos; Evans Enwerem: High School drop-out/former convict,  Former Senate president; Ghalli Na'aba: SSCE (in view), Former Speaker.

The best business model by far in present day Nigeria. Peace of mind, no tax, as long as you have the patience to stay in school and study one of the rigorous science, preferably mathematics. And oh, before I forget, unlike other aspects of our public life, here, Nigerian degrees are actually preferred to the foreign ones. And most careers start on campus.

Majority of Nigerian graduates know its not easy getting a white collar or any good job without the hands of godfatherism.

There are lucrative jobs available in Qatar for qualified individuals from his/her relative field. Nigerian certificates are recognised with your work experience. All you need is a work permit to enable you work legally there. Work permit is normally 5 years and you know what you can make within 5 years of good work.

Men, politics is the main source to mega money in nigeria.
Although there is money in oil and gas, telecommunication.

Venture into politics, make money illegally and be ducked by the anti-graft body, EFCC or the ICPC and you are in for it.

Make use of the opportunities around you, use or brains and make money wisely and legally.

A word is enough for the wise that is wise

Well, it's all about luck and hard work. Most of the people are hard working but some of them get that 'x' factor which luck. Luck comes their way, getting promotions, getting incentives and much more. This rule is applicable in all fields. But to me, doctors and surgeons are getting high pay. This is mainly due to the fact that there is a shortage of quality surgeons in the world. IT people are also included in list of highest paying jobs in the world.

I'm currently in my final year of university, studying Accounting and finance. I have about four months left to finish my degree. My original plan was that when I finish my degrees I'd relocate to Nigeria, but after much research I'm thinking about doing my Masters in a Russell Group university then NYSC. oh btw I'm based in the uk, I'll like to get a very good job in Nigeria but I just don't know how to go about it, yes I have connections but I do not want to rely on ANYONE. Pls give me your advise. And I can't decide on where to do my nysc either Lagos or Abuja bare in mind I'd like to do my nysc where I can get a good job. Ohh also does anymore know about this careers in Africa.?
