From the very onset, I knew you are a "she",but I'm really having doubts now if you are real or not.

I don't understand , real as in how.?

Phema:
You actually need a visa to Naija as a British passport holder.

So because I have a British means I don't have a Nigerian passport. Kmt

Philadelphia:
I thought I was the only one noticing it. I quickly informed everyone, and that idle folk @btasha was insulting himself (herself). You want to rent house, must you tell everyone how much the rent cost? You schooled in UK, you dey find work for Naija. Lol. No be only work you go find you suppose find visa enter Naija too. I sorry for you. UK ko OK foods ni

Very narrow minded!! I'm looking to work in Nigeria because I like the lifestyle there, all my friends are there and they love it. I was to,d to come experience it but I'm not just going to pack and leave that's why I wrote on under this topic.

walearoy:
Aiit,
Wish you the best as you choose and pray you make the best of choices.
Really wished I was in your shoes though!
I'm also on the island, we could meet if you wouldn't mind

Lmao, Looooool ohh lawrd, so saying the price is wrong, I don't need visa, I have a British passport LOOL so asking for an advice is a crime, very bias!

walearoy:
Boko fit strike anywhere jor,
However, your aunt is right too.
If you believe you can cope with lagos wahala you are welcome, I'll be waiting to welcome you.
Could you mail me?
Walearoy@yahoo.com

Well it's been a while since I've been in Nigeria, to what I plan to do is visit both Lagos and Abuja during summer for a week or two each then decide, although Abuja is much cheaper for me. I have a house there my aunt lives there so I can always go over to her for anything tbh, but in Lagos the house I have there is too far so I'd need to rent a place on the island which is about 1.5 million and I've been told it's not a good look for a single young lady to live alone in a rented apartment.

Emasel:
I'll say Abuja,Lagos is too crowded.Though Lagos has more business and job opportunities but it is very stressful.And if you'll be serving in CBN,Abuja will be most suitable,because you'll have a good chance of being retained after your NYSC.CBN is one of the best places to work in Nigeria,there is career progression and job security,and the pay is also very good.



BTW,I sent u a PM,pls check ur mail.

Okay you're saying abuja, I do believe Abuja is nice but my Aunty doesn't want me to go there she believes it's not safe due to all these random boko haram attacks. And yes I have place in lagos to stay too but it's really far from the island. Although I never thought that was an issue but my friend that just visited nigeria said that was a major issue, because majority of the companies are on the island. Honestly I prefer Abuja tbh with you it's much convinent, I'm coming back to nigeria I don't want to spend all my money on island rent nor on transportation.

. Firstly I think Wale has furnished you with some good information just like some others here. My take is this, Be it for NYSC or Job, Total is for me a better place to be, the exposure, the packages and incentives are all mouth watering. But in any case if that fails CBN aint bad either and would still do as a good place. While most people would pray and wish to have one of such offers on the table, you've got two, and I've got to say, that's being blessed.

Not only total like my other sister she helped her into oando, in lagos. Before she started working at total she use to work at nnpc. I'm counting on both opportunities, although they are my aunties you can never be too sure. I'm still praying about it.

walearoy:
If you got accomodation, pls take abuja.
I'm in lagos now and I keep going crazy daily, pls don't come to lagos PLS.

Have accommodation in both places, in abuja garki ii and lagos on the mainland some where not sure of the name its my Aunty's house. But the thing she doesn't want me to go abuja simply because of boko haram

walearoy:
Yes it is.
I'll take the total if I had the option.
Help give one of your contacts my resume abeg

Walearoy@yahoo.com incase your response is in the affirmative.

sorry one last question, where do you think is better to relocate to Abuja or Lagos?

Philadelphia:
You all should please ignore this btasha of a person. That guy/ babe is not in the UK. S/He is just messing around.

Do i sound like a jobless person that will just come online and chat bare shite. ohh please aint nobody got time for that!

WOW, firstly SHE not he.

Emasel:
Well,I recommended those firms because I feel they will suit you being an accountant and also because their recruitment process is purely merit based,though very competitive.

You've been out of Naija for a quite longtime and so may not really be conversant of the system here.

The most lucrative industries in Nigeria currently are Oil and Gas,Banking and Telecommunications.
And getting a good job in these industries sometimes, takes more than being witty and smart,you need to be connected too.

Although,people still get good jobs in Oil and Telco companies without connection,It all depends on Grace and how good the individual is.

You could also arm yourself with a Masters if you can,before relocating back to Naija; it will also boost your profile and help you, especially in the multinationals.

I wish you the best!

Thank you so much for your advise i really appreciate it. yes i will do my masters before relocating. i will try my best in getting a job to get experience before coming down. My aunty works for Total in Abuja so she has connection in the oil and gas industry, although she offered to help but i also want to have another option. Also a family friend offered to help with a job in CBN but i don't know much about these industries and how they operate in Nigeria. Working at CBN is it classified as a good job?

Emasel:
You've got a very good result! A First is a big plus especially in entry level jobs.

Like you said,you can fit-in and work in any industry as an Accountant.

Hmmmmm........ I can't really advise on which industry is best as regards career progression and salary,but for an accountant like you,for a start,I'll recommend the Big Four consulting firms(PwC,KPMG,Ernst and Young and Delloite),starting your career in any of these firms will help you a lot. You can also keep your options open by applying for other jobs.

well i studied accounting and finance, but i don't want to work for an accounting firm i was thinking of working for a business and doing their accounts.

Emasel:
To get a decent job in Nigeria,you'll need NYSC Certificate,unless you are above 30,then you could get exemption.Getting a good job in Nigeria depends on so many factors,

First, are you a fresh graduate or you already have some working experience?

If you belong to the latter,it will be relatively easier for you,landing a good job as most employers here would love to hire someone with foreign qualifications and experience.

But if you belong to the former,you'll have to go through the rigours of tests and interviews that other graduates go through for entry level positions.


Cheers.

well i have been here for the past 15-16 years, i do not have any experience. I graduated with a first class in accounting and Finance degree. Okay i don't mind doing NYSC. which my degree i can literally work for any industry, but i don't know which industry is best in Nigeria in terms of career progression, salary and solid experience and how to get into the industry.

Also if i do my master will that help?

poundsmaker:
I don't understand you because moving back shouldn't be hard, it's either by bus, ship or plane. So, elaborate it to enable you get a good advise.

well i live in London, but ill really like to relocate to Nigeria but i don't know how to go about it in terms of getting a good job what to expect, how long it takes to get a job, can i get a job from UK before coming.? Do i have to do nysc?

Please I need your advice, I want to move back to nigeria but I don't know how to go about it.?

kelechi50:
my advise to u is to stay and complete ur masters program,if possible phd before coming back for ur nysc

thanks for your rep,y, yes I am doing my masters before comining I decided that a couple of days ago, also I have a question is there a way I can get a job in Lagos from London?

worry359:
Why set your sights so low only looking to Nigeria?
Unless you "know someone" you will not get a good secure, well paid job in Nigeria.
With a masters from a good university you can look for a job anywhere.
Companies will come to your uni looking for people with good results to employ.
Go for masters in Uk at one of the schools you named and go forward into the wide world.

It's not as easy as you think, uk is competitive, and the life style isn't ideal for me, I don't want to spend the rest if my life working working.

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.?

oluwashegunfunm:
Brother, most jobs in nigeria are not always announced, and if it announced you have a 20 percent chance to get the job without a God father.
I will advise you use that CONNECTIONS of yours, the nigerian economy is rapidly getting worse.
With your discipline you are most likely to end up in one the top banks or insurance companies in naija..

How are the insurance companies in nigeria.? My Aunty is a close friend with the deputy governor of cbn, and he said I can serve with them. But I also heard they don't retain corpers. Apart from CBN and all these oil and gas companies, what other industry pay well and provides career progression and job security.?

londoner:
Yes, I've heard of them but haven't checked their site for a while now.

Was wondering if you think it's a good idea for graduates to attend such events.

Thanks for replying, yes I will research the website. Have you heard of career in Africa?
