TO be frank as long as you are a Nigerian, you are at a big disadvantage; the way i do is that on Facebook WordPress groups and others i help people freely and go all the way; its when they realize am a Nigerian they doubt it because i have been of great help to them. frankly even here where i was working an Indian dude who is my good friend claimed am the first Nigerian he knows that is honest, because he was duped by one in the UK. people here on NL will quickly abuse the Australian but the truth is no one trusts Nigerians heck even i don't trust Nigerians myself. so you see you have to work extra hard to get people's trust. what you should do is join a community and get a good reputation so that they don't see you as a Nigerian but a talented individual. my honest advice; also get used to racist jokes like being called a scammer, or identified with terrorist i experience it but in a way that you can tell its not personal; my colleagues use it as jokes just as the same way i use their vices against them. but as a Nigerian you are already at a disadvantage.

There are bad eggs everywhere @ OP. It's not all that's about trust, some were borne out of discriminations against colour or race what have you. Next time, try to work smarter, there is nothing wrong being a Nigerian , what matter most is how you go about your things. What matter most is first impression you give people about yourself; make friends with them first with time they would grow to learn how to trust you.

Nothing stops you from having a means of receiving payments for your job outside homeland, you can find a friend our relatives who is trustworthy and who can always help you with receiving payments, you don't have to tell them your in Nigeria but not saying you should deny being a Nigerian. There are differences between the two, it's not just about working hard alone but smarter too.

All the best!

It is not about you, it is about them. Someone hates Nigerians because A SINGLE Nigerian duped him.
And you tell me he is sane? you tell me he is rational?

Tomorrow, go back and tell him that Spikes says he should Fck himself wink

I didn't say the word "hate" but he was a bit cautious when he's around Nigerians because he hears of the 419 issues and he suddenly becomes a victim, but yeah he's flawed for thinking that way; but you would see some NL promoting such saying the Nigerian is a sharp guy. i think we are the ones who shoot ourselves in the leg, we destroy Nigeria reputations with our hands.

You don't have to defend your friend. This comment says it all

pc guru: ...frankly even here where i was working an Indian dude who is my good friend claimed am the first Nigerian he knows that is honest...

Your friend made a very huge irrational exaggeration. I don't take such likely sad

Nevertheless, we have bad eggs in our midst. We ourselves promote it in our society just like you said.
But racism is the main reason behind their hatred for us. The scam shlt is just an excuse. A very good one at that if i may say.

Well i don't have to defend him, but i understand what you mean because sometimes i let him know that kinda thinking is flawed and that once he meets others he would see all are not like that;

Dont accept defeat. Go ahead and build a website for him even if it means you doing it for free.its shoudnt always be about the money. It about the name, the integrity and impression.If he likes it he would recommend you and probably pay you

This is so true, I have always been a victim, but OP seriously you sounded desperate, though the guy was not even ready to deal with a Nigerian but you sounded Nigeria and you couldn't even convince him.

I am not teaching you how to relate but, if I was the one I believe I could make him trust me.

Wish you the best OP

I think you it'd be better if you can join a respectable online programming community n build your portfolio n integrity. That way, winning the hearts of the whites will make them vouch for you if someone you wanna deal with will doubt your sincerity.

I still believe we can correct the wrong perception people have about Nigeria some day smiley

Bro, keep calm and never give up.

Keep doing the good job, it will pay you really big time. There is nothing to worry about, I can only say that the job is not yours, if it was really yours, you will get it.

I am a living testimony for this, I have a foreign partner i do work with, they contacted me over the internet to work with me in which i agreed, though they got skeptical but they made the gamble and played along, I introduce them to invest into Nigeria for some business, lo and behold it paid off.

They made me their contact man, i got many recommendations from them where they recommended me for their partners in other country, it have been a blessing to me, so just keep working hard

Hey bro, that's a bad move. Programmers are not meant to be hungry. Stop building free stuffs to impress people who does not like or want you. No need to prove that you are not a scammer.

To win the heart of whites is the same as wining the heart of African dude. Be original, joining stackoverflow or others just because you want to build portfolio to be trusted by people is waste of time because people who visit programming community are mostly programmers facing some issues with code or concept. No programmer (Real Programmers) will tell you because you are Nigerian he/she cannot partner with you when he knows you are a programmer and you can prove yourself with things you have done.

If you want to develop a system for non-programmers (Business people), you have to be professional when dealing with people. You don't expect some one to trust you when it's just you and not as if you are represent any firm (Maybe your firm as a freelancer) use the word "we" not "I" and if you prove that you are capable of doing it(the system) then it will be yours. #ThinkProfessional

In conclusion, we Africans or Nigerian should stop impressing the white or other people just because we want something from them. Be natural and professional and every other thing will fall in place.
