Please I need your candid advise on this issue. I have never been this confused on what to do. I have been working for some years as an Assistant lecturer in a Private University with a gross pay of 113k per month. I completed my PhD last year and got 3 other offers in Nigeria, the highest was of 177k per month as L2. I had already filled the agreement form to resume there by March 1st, which is just about 4 days from now. Just as I was about moving out my thing yesterday from my current place of work to the new place, I got an offer from another African country to resume 15th of March for a Government Academic job of a monthly salary of 1000 USD which comes with a monthly accommodation allowance of 100 USD and nothing more.

I am lost in the pool of consideration & don’t even know which would be the best for me in my career.

NB: pls don’t mind my grammar o; my PhD is in Computer Science and not in Linguistics and languages.

Thank you in anticipation

Go and pray

Congratulations, take the job with the African University. But don't forget to aspire for better jobs.

The way you dey ask for advice ontop this simple matter make me dey doubt your PhD oo.


Tell us the truth, you get PhD Tru Tru??

Go for the one that pays in dollars, as the Nigerian economy keeps getting worse by the day. But put the new country into consideration. Does it have a promising economy and the institution employing you, does your background check show them to be genuine and has a long operation expectancy?

Congratulations.
Every body is advising u to go to the African country, without knowing which country it is.
Pls, advise yourself accordingly and stop seeking advice online cos you'll end up being confused.

568k before allowances... Bros go and pray, but on the surface, I will choose the African country.

A friend who is a PhD student in Spain went to Netherlands for an opportunity to collaborate internationally.

So, take the opportunity.

I sincerely thank all of you for your words of advice and encouragement. God bless you richly. A word is truly enough for the wise…

TCD:
Which african country is this? Better to specify so we can advise you better before you leave fry pan enter fire

True talk, if it’s South Africa where they hate their fellow African brothers and want to kill them for suya, better to think twice o!

Brother, I used to be a lecturer in Nigeria, a federal university for that matter but I left and I thank God everyday for giving me the courage to leave that job that is seen as extremely lucrative.

Spread your wings and fly before it gets too late!

The Op is just bragging because he knows exactly what he wants for the following reasons

1) He is well educated person and cannot be in any confusion
2) The salaries are not even close
3) The opportunities for career growth are miles apart.

elasticlala would pick the dollar job.

West2019:
hope is not Togo dollar

Even if na togo make him go

Go!

Your black market salary is 570k, what then are waiting for my brother?


Pls,be fast.

If it is a French speaking , then just go, learn french and run to Canada

Ddonoflife:
Ask God to direct u

God has already built in us sense of direction and the will power to chose, develop and use it and stop thinking like trees & plants

I will recommend you go for the offer that pays in $. However, check the standard of living there first ooo. Some countries have high cost of living, like Angola.

Dude, no fall hand. If it's Togo or Benin, then that's good. If it's Angola or South Africa, then it's bad. Depends on the African country.
But then, bros, you are a computer science PhD. You should try applying to remote jobs that will probably pay you more than $5k. Why haven't you done that yet?

why are you all so negative about Nigeria?

Aplaudez:
I like the fact that we're in the same field, please and please go for it, and leave this zoo called Naija.

Seriously? Paid way through PhD obtained from the prestigious Obafemi Awolowo University? A PhD research supervised by two Professors and defended before 7 Professors ? U are really not saying anything sensible here. … I don’t want to say more pls. Read the post and if u couldn’t understand what I wrote up there, simply ignore and keep mute.

dawnomike:
I see no dilemma here... Go for the one that pays you in dollars as your salary increments over time will still be in dollars

Africans too like dollars
I knew someone will definitely say this
