Here is the list of the top paid jobs in Africa,wholly compiled from forbes list...

#10)MASS COMMUNICATION: This really requires a lot of in-built and self-acquired attributes but onve you got it,you are heading to the top of the money chart.Just being a P.R.O of a public firm will earn you nothing less than #3.4M per annum,working for a reputable TV station will drop nothing less than #1.8M per annum and been a video jockey can worth more than #1.9M annually!!!! #9)ARTISTS AND DESIGNERS: Little did novices know about them but they are one of the best in the employment market.Securing a job in a clothing line can augment as much as #3.3M per annum as income,and also an average nigeria museum pays as much as #2.12M annually.Shunning all pre-claimed jobs and going private could earn as much as #15.4M in South Africa but around #4.4M in Nigeria,been that Nigerians are not too much fans of artworks!!! #:GEOLOGIST: Less people pay attention to the study of this lucrative course in case study but being a geologist in a country trully blessed with natural resources can be profitably alarming.With a worthy annual income of nothing less than #4.3M for a graduate,the amount increases with experience to a grand sum of #12.4M annualy!!! #7)PHARMACIST:Also on the trio of high earnings health
professions is pharmacy. Like the medicine and
dentistry the training and work is long and
hard, but with pharmacists’ average earnings
standing at #6.2M and a huge #11.2M in South Africa, it may just be worth the
effort!!! #6) CHEMICAL ENGINEER: Research by Georgetown University has found
that experienced graduates of chemical
engineering earn, on average, #9.4M, while
a graduate degree holder can earn an
impressive #10M per annum. Unsurprisingly,
working in the field of petroleum is
particularly lucrative. Average salaries in
this industry are #13.9M per annum, while in more advanced countries like South Africa,they range from US$141,000-179,000(#14.1M-17.9M) on yearly basis!!! #5) BANKER: You got to spend money to make money, so it’s
logical that a degree in the art of making
money could be a quick route to any number of
high earning careers. And you can start doing
so from the very beginning. A Nigerian investment
banker’s starting salary is a whooping #5.4M per annum
, while a retail or commercial banker
starts on #3.42M per annum. Get further on, and the
figures can get incredibly silly…. #4) COMPUTER ENGINEER: It seems kind of obvious to say that computer science and engineering
graduates will be in high demand for the
foreseeable future, across a wide range of
industries and functions. Coupled with the
complex and demanding nature of these roles and also due to the advancement of the world into a den of technology,
this implies that the remuneration is handsome. A
new graduate can expect to earn #5M
rising to #8.1M annually depending on the experience
or to #9.8M for those with a master's
degree... #3)LAWYER: Law is of course, one of the most prestigious
degrees out there, and with prestige comes
high earnings. Wherever you go in the world,
solicitors, barristers and judges are among the
highest earners. A company lawyer in Nigeria,
for instance, stands to earn over #9.5M a
year, while a judge can earn as much as #17.8M annually!!!
#2)MEDICINE(SURGEON): No list of lucrative degrees would be complete
without medicine. Whether you choose to be a
general practitioner, a surgeon or a consultant,
those long hard years in medical school
certainly do pay for themselves…eventually.
They certainly do in Nigeria, where a GP
stands to earn between #16.6M and #20.4M. Be warned though, it is a lot of hard
work, the hours are long and it is extremely
competitive and often expensive...

#1) ACCOUNTANT:Topping the chart is the money-affiliated job F.A.M.E (finance, accounting, management and
economics) subjects are largely concerned with
money – and they can also help you rake it in.
For accountancy graduates, a number of high
earning options are available.An internal auditor working in
the financial services industry would be
looking at an annual salary of #3.9M-#7.7M, while a finance director in the
corporate sector could earn #10.3M-#18.5M!!! ****All these sound good but they all do not just come on a platter of gold.Securing any of such jobs in Nigeria(without connection) requires a grade not less than first class or second class upper(lower can still be considered on rare occassions).So keep it locked to your academics and with GOD,dope money Is yours!!!***

Ventures Africa has compiled a list of the 5
richest contemporary Nigerian entertainers.
See it out below:
Tuface: Born Innocent Idibia, the former
member of the band, Plantashun Boyz, is
among the richest artists in the industry. With
two platinum records already behind him,
Tuface (2Face) is speculated to be worth about
550 million naira ($3.47 million). He has had
endorsement deals from companies such as
Guinness, which earned him 20 million naira
($125,000) and Airtel, which earned him 22
million naira ($139,000). He was also rumoured
to have collected 30 million naira ($189,000)
from the producers of the Phat Girls movie.
Tuface has invested heavily in real estate and
stocks, and made big money from it.
He once said his goal was to recover all the
wealth taken from Africa.
D’banj: Apart from his music interests, D’banj
has moved into other sectors. His interests
include Koko Mansion, a TV reality show,
Koko Lounge, an upscale hangout in Lagos and
the UK, Koko Foundation, a charity, and Koko
Mobile. The bulk of his money comes from
endorsements – his endorsement deal with
Globacom telecommunications cost 70 million
naira ($442,000). He has a multi-million naira
endorsement with energy drink Power Fist, a
deal with the makers of the Virgin Colour soft
drink and another huge deal with a popular
jeweler. Another endorsement which runs
into millions is with Chris Aire, with D’banj
acting as the face of his watches. He collects
between 5 million naira ($31,500) and 7 million
naira ($44,200) as performance fee for local
gigs, and even bigger fees across the rest of
Africa and in the US and the UK. Like his old
boss, Don Jazzy, D’banj also bagged a recording
deal with Kanye West’s G.O.O.D Music. D’banj
once said, “I work hard so that money, awards,
endorsements, bookings and kokolets chase
me.”
Don Jazzy: Real name Michael Enebeli, Don
Jazzy, is the founder of now defunct Mo’Hits
and now runs Mavin Records. He is one of the
most sought after producers in Nigeria. As a
child he was a member of Good Morning Kids,
a group created by his father.
He is known for his business dexterity,
building Mo’Hits from scratch to become one
of the biggest entertainment empires in the
country. He recently signed a recording deal
with Kanye West – a move that not only
boosted his reputation as an entertainer, but
also his wealth.
P- Square: Singing and dancing duo Peter and
Paul Okoye won the KORA award for Best
Africa Artiste in 2010, collecting a $1 million
prize in the process. Shortly after, the duo got
an endorsement deal with Globacom
telecommunications worth about 240 million
naira ($1.5 million) for four years. Their seven-
city American tour in 2010 earned them a
whopping $1m and have also built a house
valued at 300 million naira ($1.9 million). They
own Rayfield Hotel, Jos, and two multi-million
naira factories in the same city, where they
built a multimillion naira bakery and sachet
water companies for their parents. The bulk of
their wealth comes from concerts, especially in
Africa, where they charge about 2 million
naira ($12,600) per show. They have sold over
14 million copies of their CDs since 2005.
Banky W: Banky W has become one of the
richest entertainers in the industry, making
the bulk of his wealth from gigs, where he
charges between 2.5 million naira ($15,800) and
3 million naira ($19,000) per show and
performs three to four times each week. A
brand ambassador of Estisalat, one of Nigeria’s
telecommunications giants, he also featured in
Coca Cola-Nigeria’s World Cup theme song and
Microsoft’s Anti-cyber Crime Initiative. An
entrepreneur, Banky W has invested heavily in
various businesses and also doubles as a
philanthropist, founding the Mr. Capable
Foundation, where he provides tuition fees for
indigent and brilliant students. He is also the
force behind EME music which has, arguably,
the Nigeria’s fastest rising artiste (Wizkid)
under the label.

Dear Nigerian Artiste,
It is Christmas season again, that blessed
season of giving, getting…and attending shows
and concerts. I don’t need to wish you a merry
one because I know that by now the state of
your bank accounts has told you all you need
to know about how merry or not it will be.
This seems to be a season of letters, yes I
know, and even more intriguing of leaked
ones. I assure you, this letter is different. If it
ever gets leaked, know I had no hand in it. It
could just be the handiwork of my detractors
and political foes.
You are probably wondering who I am and the
reason I have chosen to write you a letter
rather than tweet at you or send you an email
or a text. Wonder no further, you and I know
you will never reply me. I am not a celeb. I
digress.
So, how many concerts have you signed up for
this period? Your account manager at the bank
should by now be delirious and you already
checking out rides at Coscharis. Bulletproof
BMW 7 series maybe? That shouldn’t be an
issue now, aren’t you all Princesses and
Princes? No pun intended here.
I have a question by the way. How do you plan
to make these concerts rock? Like make them
totally unforgettable, make them headline
grabbing and stuff? Have you been rehearsing
with your band?
Say what? You don’t know what a band is?
So how do you plan to make it worth the while
of fans who pay huge amounts for tickets and
who take the risk of coming to crowded
venues and willingly inhale a toxic mixture of
second hand smoke, mouth and body odour?
And probably get fondled by jagudas all in the
name of jumping up and down to the sound
coming from the loudspeakers?
Oh? You plan to get a DJ to play your CDs while
you lip synch along? Come on! You have to
agree that is unfair, unethical, unprofessional,
mediocre, untenable, une….. ok let me stop.
It will do you a world of good if you read this
letter carefully and take some of the advice and
criticisms that will flow from it under
advisement.
Your fans are getting smarter and more
demanding by the day. A day will come when
they will rather listen to the radio or sit in
their cars or homes and just flip through CDs,
than come to your concert. At least it is you
performing (we hope), and of course cheaper,
more convenient and less stressful, than
struggling to get into VIP at Eko Hotel.
Laziness is the only reason I can think of that
will make you, a professional artiste (I
definitely can’t refer to you with the more
particular title of Musician, you cannot
convince me you are one yet) perform from
CDs at a show. Your counterparts abroad take
time out to have sessions with bands (whether
theirs or rented) in preparation for concerts
and tours. They don’t rely on DJs. At worst, DJs
are a backup. This actually applies to Hip-Hop
artistes too.
Instead of giving a show that will make you go
down in history and be hailed a legend like
TuBaba or be referred to as good concert
material like Asha, Omawunmi, and Waje, you
will rather stand inebriated in front of
hundreds (maybe thousands) of fans and have
the gumption to turn back at a likely equally
stoned DJ, screaming at him or her “DJ track
7…no! no! that is track 6, I want track 7”. Not
good at all. You should aim for better quality.
Imagine if in the middle of you rambling
through a track we all have concluded you
performed in the studio while recording, the
DJ mistakenly pulls a cable and the only
gadgets left working are the microphones and
we (including your dazed self) find out that
you weren’t uttering anything all evening?
That you have instead been busy just throwing
in the occasional “yaw! yaw! Put ye hends up!!
Lagos are you happy??!!!!” Dude come on! How
can Lagos be happy after you have been found
out to be scamming them? Lesser things have
led to concert riots in other places. This picture
I painted recently happened to one of Nigeria’s
top gospel artistes after collecting 500,000 naira
as performance fees from an hapless church.
Is what you collect really a performance fee or
merely an appearance fee. We need to be clear
on this point.
Let me park this letter here. I have had the
chance of seeing quite a number of Nigerian
concerts; either physically or on TV and I can
safely say one more time that artistes of now
are largely a lazy bunch. Your concerts merely
feed on adrenalin that makes it look like the
fans are getting value, not the quality and
sheer artistry of your live performances. You
all need to fix up.
I can count on my fingers the number of
artistes who can actually pull off a concert
with a live band. Many of you very likely don’t
know the lyrics of your own hits and you
many times in those concerts default to
pointing the mic at us poor fans so that we can
help you insert the forgotten words. Too poor!
Fix up else you will have to rely solely on the
number of CDs that Obaino and the rest of the
Alaba gang can make us buy to make ends
meet.
While I believe you will, after reading this
missive, make changes and ultimately get more
professional; accept the assurance of my
highest regards.
Yours respectfully,
Faturoti Kayode
Member, Concerned CD Buyer of Nigeria
