What If?
Out of the blue, I applied for a job in Nigeria and I've been wondering what if ever since. What if I get the job? What next? It's something I would totally LOVE to do but my life would take a 360 turn hopefully for the better but then again, it could be for the worse. What do I know about living in Naija after having been gone for so long? What would it be like? Where would my future kid go to school? Would I have to go to the market - ew. Would life be more fun with family and friends? Where would I live? Can't really live with the folks and we don't have a place of our own in Naija. Wait, wait, DH is NOT in Naija. I'm assuming he would move at some point. This is still me in the la-la stage. I haven't heard back from them but would LOVE, love, love to get that job. It sounds like a great opportunity. This is verrrrry forward of me but hey, sometimes I like to dream.

Girl you are lucky, you actually dont have to go to the market, there is shoprite(kinda like walmart). Good luck.
I HAVE A FEAR OF FEELING COMFY AFTER BEING AWAY FROM HOME TOO, BUT THE FULLNESS OF LIFE IS ACTUALLY BETTER THERE IN MY OPINION. GOOD LUCK I AM CONTEMPLATING MOVING HOME SOON TOO, WE WILL SEE, I AM PRAYING AND LOOKING TO GOD FOR HIS GUIDIANCE.
I am looking forward to and also dreading going back to Naija after my Masters.There are many positives but there are more negatives-the level of crime is my greatest fear.By and large i am excited by the prospect of moving back home
I think what I would be worried about more is the lack of security. This scares me a whole lot more than going to the market, NEPA/PHCN's non-performance, lack of fuel, etc. When we were much younger my father was shot by armed robbers, he is okay - still living in the house he was shot at - but I think we were all psychologically scarred after that and knowing that over two decades after that it is not any better...that is pretty worrisome.
my dear trust me you will do fine in naija...no worries
I have been on a job search for months now. It is not that easy(in my experience to get jobs in naija) I acctually have a friend that packed up from Boston and went to lagos to search for work there...... I do not have liver like her so I keep doing my internet searches and keeping my bum in NYC.
