You can't be serious.
Used to think S.A. people abroad fraternize amongst themselves healthily.
Madjune,

I don't know actually. I guess it all depends on who you know

Some people are looking for how to get out of nigeria and even go to hostile countries while others are willing to leave their own country for nigeria.

God is wonderful

lexy2014:
wow...my impression of south Africans is that they aren't 2 adventurous. u don't get 2c south Africans wanting 2 travel out on a permanent basis. u unique. y do u want 2 leave SA 4 Nigeria?
Hey there lexy2014,

I have to agree with you. The average SA'n does not want to get outside their country, let alone travel up on the continent. If anything, it's maybe our close neighboring countries then maybe the US or Europe (for those with the cash moolah). But there's a special few who are really interested in visiting countries such as Nigeria, Ghana, Senegal, Benin Republic, São Tomé... I could go on.

to be frank with you, I will advice forget jobberman,


anyway it depends on ur field of specialist, there are a number of online recruiters based in Ikeja, and Victoria inland, even gbagada, , Such as PWC,

but don't go through jobberman

. Thanks
Hey do4luv14

Thanks for the advice. Maybe you're right, I haven't had any leads on jobberman yet.
Which online recruiters are based in VI?
Is PWC one of the online recruiters?

Many thanks

How long was your stay last time? And what do you miss the most about the place? Any stashed up exes you wanna rekindle something with? tongue grin
A year. Oh dear, the list is endless.

Gatherings in my 'social circle'
And and and

Stashed up exes... I've decided that once I go back, no rekindling oo. Yes but some good relations was formed.

ZarZar:
What do you mean it didn't work out the 1st time? What happened? You don't need to go into detail, just skim the surface because I'm really trying to understand what prompts you to wanna go back if the 1st time didn't work out. That's if you're comfortable giving an answer to my question though. It's all on you.
Zarzar, what I mean is that I didn't sign up for a good deal. I could've endured but my family was pressuring me to come back home because things weren't in order with the company. I can go into detail via a pvt conversation

I wish my gf while I was in Cape Town had ur mentality, we wld have been happily married and living in Nigeria :-)

Just like someone suggested, Naija job portals are ur best bet. If u have a certification u can defend, u'll get a call back.

Never mind the earlier hostility, I've lived in SA to know they're not all Xenophobic. Please come.
Hi @bisi16
Right on, I bet your girl would've loved Nigeria and probably would be in agreement that it has a great energy (compared to Cape Town). Black folks are struggling in comparison to white folks in the Western Cape. It's sad really. Though CPT is beautiful, hands down. Aluta continua. It is well

Let me push some more on the portals! Thanks

Hi Afrikanbabe,

It is good that you want to work and relocate to Nigeria. Since you said you have lived in Lagos before, I think you should use your social capital more in finding jobs. I once lived in SA before relocating to Australia. And it is good that you are able to approach life from a point that you are not labelling all Nigerians as bad. Good luck and be careful of scammers.
Hello @tosintonero
Thank you for your feedback.
I firmly stand by the fact that not alll Nigerians are the same. We are all individuals and can choose to either be good or bad.
I'm on it, in terms of using my social capital for finding jobs. It's still tricky though as I haven't signed anything yet. I've messaged a lot of people in 'my circle' so I'm just being positive really. My leads haven't been on posts on jobberman and co, but really wanted to get something concrete before relocating.

ZarZar:
Hmmm...and what about family? Will you still come over to check on them? Btw, how do they feel about your decision?
Yes, of course. Home will forever be home. So yes, I will visit.
My family don't know that I still want to live and work in Nigeria. They think that maybe cause it didn't work out before that I have given up. But no. They will have to accept once God provides.
TravelRe: South African Wants To Live And Work In Lagos, Nigeria by afrikanbabe(op): 9:17am On Jun 05, 2017
ZarZar:
OK cool. Look, I'm not against your move. Do what you want. If you've been there & you enjoyed it, then more power to you. Just curious though, is it an indefinite move or just something you feel you wanna do for the time being?
Indefinite ZarZar. Not at all for the time being.

If you can get a company based in Nigeria to employ you, it will help you when you are applying for your work and residence permit

For employment opportunities look online, Nigeria Galleria posts job offers regularly, go to the job section on nairaland, other Job portals exists online too

Apply for a visit visa so that you can do your job interviews, then once you get accepted apply for work permit and residence

Your foreign certificate is a plus if you can defend it, good luck
Hello @Pidgin2

I appreciate your response and advice.
I've been applying at Nigerian based companies and slowly but surely.

I have also searched jobberman, ngcareers, and google like no other. I'll search through Nigeria Galleria as well, thanks.

I believe it will work out. I've been praying

Hello Nairalanders,

I am a South African woman very interested in relocating to Lagos, Nigeria. I've lived in the country before so I'm quite familiar with the people, food and culture. I love the energy in Nigeria despite the hardships.
I would like to find out how South Africans living in Nigeria get their jobs, via international recruiters or friends or how? Also, how easy is it to organize the right papers? I am not looking to marry for green card oo... unless genuine love is concerned.

So any advice or leads, I'd really appreciate. Thank you folks
