I don't think that is advisable for her unless she has a good amount of money saved up or has a sponsor or people she can stay with while she is trying to do that.

The SA community in Nigeria are mostly White, the only blacks I am aware of work at the embassy, some banks and some energy companies and don't have any official organizations that cater for their people.

??

and the correct grammer is "If I were"

Well, I want to believe that English is not your mother tongue, but you should stop arguing about what you don't understand.

"If I was sharp..." as used by Zar is correct.

The pronoun ‘I’ can be used with WERE as a conditional as well as with WAS. WERE is the past subjunctive of the present verb ‘to be’, meaning it expresses hope, possibility or supposition rather than stating a fact.

If I were you, I wouldn’t touch that.
(I’m not you, it’s hypothetical – used for the present or future)
If I were a multi-billionaire, I would rid the world of poverty.
(I’m not a multi-billionaire, it’s hypothetical – used for the present or future)

Copied.

If you were sharp upstairs it is easy to make sense of.

Case in point why has there been an increase in SA's going to Nigeria to visit SCOAN, TB joshua church. In a country that cannot even keep its electricity on or pipe born water, 84 SA's killed in a crashed building, any sane person would not travel there for any sensible reason, yet watching or hearing about this individual they are still eager to travel there. What is curious about that motive

Case in point a SA lady who has worked, visited and lived in lagos Nigeria for some time is considering moving back for what she deems an indefinite amount of time. She is familiar with the culture, the lingo and the people. What is strange or curious about that motive?

We can see through your innuendos my dear.

It's tiring this negative energy that these folks are bringing here. Boring actually.

Thanks dear, exactly. It seemed unbelievable to them that a SA'n will want to travel down here. When they couldn't understand it, they began trying to ridicule you and accuse you of not being a SA'n

I still wonder why they bother hanging out here, I used to think it was because they want to know more about our people and culture, I never knew it was to look down on us from their high horses

My dear, I wish you well. You will definitely get a good job and maybe marry a good Nigerian man in the process smiley

Pidgin2 dear, thank you for the good energy. As for Nigerian man, hmm we shall see oo hahah

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

Spoke to this lovely soul Afrikanbabe on the PHONE and I can confirm that she is genuine and really SOUTH AFRICAN (You can't fake a SA accent) for those saying she might be a troll. For the 9jas coming at her for wanting to relocate there, open your eyes to the beauty of your place. I just wish that more South Africans were as open to exploring this continent. We need more of this to put an end to afrophobia. This demonstrates the true spirit of Ubuntu. These borders are man made, we all Africans.

It's not a matter of judgment but different perspectives I guess. Look, I'll leave this right here because it's no point trying to understand everything, until maybe I find myself in the same situation where I fall in love with another country or whatever. For now there's still a lot of questions, out of sheer curiosity & also to try make sense of things. Waste of time so let me back out.

Correct zarzar, very correct.. like you said, 'it's no point trying to understand everything'. You actually don't need to understand everything. It is well
