JOBS IN NIGERIA.I AM A NIGERIAN, AND I HAVE LIVED IN NIGERIA FOR OVER 30 YEARS BEFORE MOVING TO THE UK FOR STUDIES.
I WANT TO SINCERELY WARN THOSE WHO ARE SAYING THAT THEY GOT A JOB OFFER AND THEY ARE ASKING THEM TO PAY MONEY FOR VISA. DON'T EVER GIVE ANYBODY MONEY FOR VISA.IT IS COMPLETE FRAUD, CALLED 419 IN NIGERIA.IF THE COMPANY HAS SO MUCH MONEY TO HIRE YOU FROM ABROAD, THEN THEY SHOULD HAVE MONEY TO PAY FOR YOUR VISA, WHICH IS USUALLY VERY CHEAP WHEN COMPARED TO WHAT YOU GET FROM THE DEVLOPED WORLD. AND A FAR CRY FROM WHAT THE FRAUDSTERS ARE ASKING YOU TO GIVE. PLEASE DON'T GIVE.
IF YOU HAVE GOT A JOB OFFER THERE ARE THINGS YOU SHOULD DO.
1. GO TO NIGERIAN EMBASSY IN YOUR COUNTRY, TELL THEM ABOUT THE OFFER.
2 GET INFORMATION ABOUT THE COMPANY FROM THE EMBASSY AND CALL THEM.
3. IF IT IS AN INTERNATIONAL COMPANY CALLED THEIR OVERSEAS OFFICE.
4. THERE ARE HUNDEDS OF THOUSANDS OF OTHER NATIONAS LIVING IN NIGERIA (ESPECIALLY INDIANS AND PAKISTANIS), SO GET IN TOUCH WITH FELLOW COUNTRY MEN WHO WOULD GIVE GOOD ADVICE.
HAVING SAID THAT, NIGERIA IS A VERY GOOD COUNTRY FOR THOSE WHO HAVE GOT GENUINE OFFERS. EXPATRIATES ARE WELL PAID ABOVE THE LOCALS. MOST EXPATRIATES LIVE FAR BETTER THAT THOSE IN DEVELOPED COUNTRIES(US AND OTHERS). FOR INSTANCE, IF YOU A GOOD ENGINEERING OFFER, YOU MAY BE ENTITLED TO GOOD SALARY (BOTH DOLLARS AND LOCAL CURRENCY), HOUSING, CARS, COOK, GARDENER, E.T.C.
ON SAFETY, NIGERIA IS RELATIVELY SAFE JUST LIKE MOST PARTS OF THE WORLD, WITH ISOLATED VIOLENCE. BUT THIS LITTLE VIOLENCE ARE USUALLY BLOWN OVER BY THE WESTERN MEDIA. THE PEOPLE ARE VERY FRIENDLY.
MY ADVICE IS, IF THE OFFER IS GENUINE, TAKE IT, YOU WILL ENJOY.
BUT REMEMBER DO NOT GIVE ANYONE ANY MONEY.
REMAIN BLESSED.
