The Nigerian Army: The Army recruits maximum number of the people from among the three disciplines. The Army recruits almost one lakh people. There are two divisions in the Army that is the armoured division and the composite division that recruit people.

The Army can be used to maintain peace and calm in regions as the peace keeping forces as had been demonstrated through out Africa but can also attack if required. A life in the Army requires people with high discipline who are made into dignified officers for the rest of their lives. The officers of the Army are trained in battalions as well as fast attacks.

The Nigerian Navy: The Nigerians are trained in Navy as well as the western coast lies in the Gulf of Guinea. The Navy has about seven thousand officials associated with it and there are still opportunities for people to join.

The Nigerian Air force: The Air force of Nigeria has about nine thousand officers right now. The Air force too provides great opportunities to people.

The people who are most wanted in such jobs are the Geophysicists, Geologists, Petrophysicists, Geoscience experts, Geoscientists and the Explorationalists. The Geologists, Geophysicists and the Geoscientists are the people who deal with the science concerning the history of the Earth and the life in it. In order to be able to discover oil and petroleum resources, such professionals are highly sought after in Nigeria. These are people who are paid adequately and work on site basis that is if the work on aparticular site is done then they may move to the next site.

The oil and the petroleum industry in Nigeria is huge and hence the employment opportunities here are found in abundance. Workers are also required for digging, excavating, extracting and monitoring the petroleum refinery sites. Chemical technicians and engineers are also required to maintain the steam engines, turbines, motors and steam boilers. Even today there are almost eight thousand vacant jobs in this industry in Nigeria. In spite of having a huge population in the country, The problem is that here are not enough skilled professionals or people who have enough knowledge of engineering and geo physics and hence the companies have to recruit professionals from abroad. Thus this industry offers tremendous opportunities which can be utilized by people from any country.

The Agriculture industry is also highly prominent in Nigeria as most of its people are traditionally farmers. Crops such as corn and maize are often cultivated here. Groundnut, Sugarcane, coconut and other citrus fruits are also grown here. But the Agriculture Industry received stiff competition from the oil and petroleum industry and hence wasn’t doing well recently. Thus, the country which used to export a lot of food started importing food to make ends meet. Now, the Government has made reforms to rejuvenate the Agriculture Industry in Nigeria.

The cities of Lagos, kano and Onitsha are the homes of several industries like the Cotton, Textile, Garment manufacturing as well as the Leather industry which thrive in these cities. It is also the home to the manufacturing units of some of the big names in the Car manufacturing industry like Peugeot and General Motors. Apart from being a major manufacturing sector, Nigeria also is home to making T shirts and processing food.

When we talk of the Nigerian economy we can not ignore the role that the oil and petroleum industry has to play in it. Almost half of the Gross Domestic Product of the country is sue to the oil and the petroleum industry. The OPEC that is the Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting countries is formed of twelve oil exporting countries. Nigeria was one of the founding nations of this organization. Nigeria is currently the eight highest exporter of petroleum in World. Agriculture is also one of the main sectors in Nigeria and more than half the people in Nigeria are associated with this sector. But, the Agriculture sector has not seen any growth in the previous years and urgent reforms are needed to bring the Agriculture sector back to life. What used to be once the backbone of the Nigerian economy just about manages to be a contributor to it. So much so that once Nigeria was used to grow food on its own and in fact used to export a lot of it, but now it has to import stuff from other countries. Textile, clothing and the leather industry are some of the other industries in Nigeria that are doing well now.

But Nigerian economy has also been strong because it was able to pay off its debt entirely that it owned to the Paris club. The debt of about $30 billion was paid off in the year 2006. No other African country before Nigeria had been able to fully pay off it s debt. The Nigerian economy is now witnessing economic growth which augurs well for the people residing in Nigeria.

Oil and the petroleum industry has been one of the key reasons for Nigeria to have a dialogue with the other countries of the World. Since Nigeria was rich in these resources, it became one of the biggest exporters of petrol to the World and hence the association with the other countries began. Nigeria was one of the founding nation members of the Organisation of the Petroleum exporting countries in the year 1971. Most of the big nations in the world like the United States of America and the People’s republic of china are involved in oil trading with Nigeria. The oil resources are one of the most important reasons for Nigeria to being able to attract Foreign Direct Investments.

Nigeria is also a part of the Non Aligned Movement or the NAM as it is popularly known as. Over the years when the Nigerian economy wasn’t doing well, brain drain started affecting Nigeria and most of the people of Nigeria began migrating to other countries in search of jobs and a higher standard of living. The United States of America was a preferred destination and it has a large population of Nigerians in the country.

Currently, there is a national health policy in the country that helps take care of the Primary sector of healthcare, secondary sector of healthcare as well as tertiary sector of health care. Thus the National health policy is aimed at providing health care to all people irrespective of any religious or nationality barriers. People who are trained in the Medical field come to Nigeria and join hospitals and nursing homes and begin treating patients. Hospitals are located in all the major cities of the country like lagos, kano, zaria and jos.

There are many medical colleges as well that teach young budding students and help them become doctors. In the medical colleges also doctors are recruited. So if you are from the medical field and are also interested in teaching, then you could be fit to teach in any of the many medical colleges in Nigeria. Some of the famous medical colleges located in Nigeria are Abia State University, University of Jos, University of Lagos, University of Maiduguri, University of Nigeria, University of Port Harcourt, University of Calabar, Ahmadu Bello University and the Danfodiyo University. These universities house colleges for studying Medical Sciences.

There are many government as well as Non government organizations which work for the betterment of the health of all the citizens. A few of these organizations are International Committee of the Red Cross: Nigeria, International Women’s Health Coalition: Africa

And the Association of Nigerian Physicians in the Americas.

There are about twelve Internet service providers all over Nigeria, all of whom are engaged in providing internet connectivity to all parts of this country. Apart from these major twelve, there are about twenty six more providers but which are not very active.

In days when Brain Drain is affecting Nigeria, there are many opportunities being offered to work on the internet in order to stem that drain. Thus fresh graduates as well as working professional can sit online and make money wherever they are that is whether they are in Nigeria and abroad. You may work from home or use the online job as another job that gets you another income. Or even college going students can use the internet as a source of jobs that can easily offer them enough money which can be used for pocket money or even to fund their education.

In schools and colleges, teachers are required to teach subjects like history and Geography. English and English literature are also commonly taught. Teachers are also required for teaching subjects related to Science like botany, zoology, biology, physics and chemistry.

In the Nigerian capital of Abuja and the cities of Lagos and Sokota, there are many schools coming up which offer jobs in teaching. Also teachers for specialization courses colleges are needed. Since, Nigeria is a developing country, there are many Medical, engineering, Management and Arts colleges coming up. Generally, for specialization courses, the students used to travel abroad for higher studies. But now that institutions are coming up, there are many job options for people in the Education sector also.

In the year 1976, Education was made free at the primary level. So, the Government is making efforts to provide free education to all young children. Though the literacy rate is not very high and is about 50%.

The famous institutions in Nigeria are the Ahmadu Bello University established in the year 1962 and the Obafemi Awolowo University in Ife. Other institutions that provide education are the University of lagos which is located in the most populous city in Nigeria and the University of Nigeria in Nsukka. Professors teaching higher education subjects are required in these colleges as Nigeria has a very high population of young students.
