    An Msc requires less work experience than an MBA. Imagine that ur fresh out of school, ur Mba is not Pan African Mba, U r lookin 4 work. Everyone will tell u that ur overqualified for entry level but not qualified for the next level. I excluded Pan African university because they have a program in place to place their young graduates in organisations.
    With an Msc, u can decide to go for a PHD but with an MBA, u will need to still do an Msc before going on to do a Phd.
    Alternatively, u can run a prt time Mba program while u work. It depends on what u want to do in life.
    Cheers
    God is good

    @zinwa
    are u aware that MBA are of two pedigree,MBA executive and MBA academic.the former.the later requires a considerable on the job experience and does not qualify for PhD,but the with the former u can proceed to PhD.U GET TO PAY A WHOLE LOT OF MONEY FOR MBA EXECUTIVE AT LBS,PAN AFRICAN UNIVERSITY WITH A JOB PROVISION AS A FOLLOW-UP SUPPORT.

    @Chinexannex
    are u a fresh graduate,if yes,go for Msc or if no gain experience up to middle to higher level mgt before applying for MBA executive.

    @Mac MIT
    ITS QUITE SIMPLE CONSIDERING YOUR BACKGROUND AND DEPARTMENT.GO FOR MBA FINANCE,DONT EVEN THINK TWICE.IF U FANCY A LITTLE BIAS THEN GO FOR MSC FINANCE(UNILAG REQUIRES 2 YRS EXPERIENCE FOR ADMISSION)

    casim is also right and his post should be adhered to
