hahaha. Omg! You can visit if you want to. Naija won't bite you. I see you are so curious. That is the spirit of a tourist.

Some day tongue I heard it's very hot though. A friend of mine visited with her man about 3 years ago & she said the humidity was too much, it was unbearable. Which time of the year isn't too hot?

Hey Mayflowa,

I've lived in a Naija actually. Hahah. I know Naija no go bite me, at all

I know that dear. I was actually referring to ZarZar that kept prodding you. I guess you know she is your South African sister. By the way, you Don sabi the pidgin english, which is delightful.

Anyway, one way to get a job is through linkedin. There are lots of vacancies on the webpage. The good part is you can connect to the people concerned. Goodluck in your search.

The raining season isn't that hot. That should be from April to September. You can as well enjoy the evening and night life which is cool. One thing is certain. Nigerians just love foreigners. Everyone would fight over pleasing and defending you.

In the day, the average to rich folks move around air-conditioned rooms, office and cars. That is what I do when I am in 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.
but in your case u ain't visiting u are relocating. Y??

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



GLAD U LOVE NIGERIA.
HAVING A JOB AS A FOREIGNER IS EASY.
I'LL SUGGEST U TRY UP SOME N.G.O.s
ICRC, MSN, ADAM SMITH, FHI 360, PFD, NEI, TSHIP, UNICEF..

OR ALTERNATIVELY U CUD MAKE DO WITH MTN, DSTV, SHOP RITE...

JUST WALK INTO ANY OF THESE NIGERIAN BASED SOUTH AFRICAN FIRMS, PRESENT UR CASE, AM SO VERY SURE U WILL BE INSTANTLY CONNECTED.

NIGERIANS ARE WARM AND WELCOMING AND WE ALL LOVE FOREIGNERS SO U WILL BE HIGHLY CONSIDERED..


U CAN START BY MAKING A SIMPLE CONTACT BEFORE HAND .

GETTING YOUR IMMIGRATION PAPERS IS QUITE EASY AND DIRECT..... BUT JUST DONT FALL INTO WRONG HANDS ELSE U WILL REGRET TAKING THIS DECISION.

ALWAYS DOUBLE CHECK ALL UR CONTACTS. AND THREAD WITH CAUTION.


BUT IF ITS A JOB, AM SO SURE U WILL EASILY FIND ONE.

LAGOS IS A SWEET-BUSY TOWN AND DIA ARE JOBS ON THE GO.

I WUDNT NO UR PROFESSION, QUALIFICATION, SKILL AND EXPERTISE ELSE I WUD HAVE GIVEN U SPECIFIC INFORMATION.


MEANWHILE, IF U WANNA BE IN THE CAPITAL CITY OF ABUJA I CAN REFER YOU TO AN AGENCY THAT CAN PUT U TRUE, I DONT NO MUCH OF LAGOS.



ABOVE ALL, PRAY TO GOD FOR DIRECTION, SINCE U HAVE DESIRED IT, IT WILL SURELY COME TO PASS SO EASILY.

Hello dear,

Thanks so much for this. I will surely look up. I prefer to be based in Lagos rather. Also, my field is in media and communications.

Bless you

@ africanbabe

You can live and work in Nigeria if that is where your heart is. I have met a couple of South Africans who feel the same way you do and after lengthy discussions with them kinda understand the reasons for it.

I would presume that you like the hustle and bustle of the city life in Lagos and have fallen in love with the culture of Nigeria.

Some others like you I have come across have also intimated to me that there is a sense of freedom they feel being in an "all black country" and a sense of "racial pride" and communism they feel when they are in Nigeria albeit of course other issues like electricity problems, infrastructure and somewhat casual arrogance of the average Nigerian. Something they say is absent in South Africa at least in their personal experiences.

I say go for it, you have absolutely nothing to loose. I know a South African lady who works in Abuja now as an interior decorator and in the past five years I have known her, she has only been back to South Africa twice on short visits.

Pls take the advice of this person i quoted. Much tax isnt paid in Nigeria. I would advice you to start up a buisness if you have the capital.
