But I think it is worth travelling down to Naija to write the test, because jobs are really scarce everywhere, even in these developed countries where the recession has really hit them hard, their youths are now really struggling to find jobs. Have you noticed that it is even difficult for international students to get temporary/part-time jobs here these days, unlike before, not to talk of even permanent jobs? Their economy has really been affected, so now the little jobs they have, they are reserving it for the Brits...look at the decision to stop/limit the post-study work visa... Besides, this is NNPC we are talking about, its one of the best jobs one can get in the country with competitive salary at international standards. When you take all these factors into consideration, I think going down to Nigeria next week is definitely worth the sacrifice.
