We either enjoy the good governance together or bad governance together.

Like we have been enjoying Buhari's bad governance for the past 7 years.

I was always thrilled with the idea of being visual artist, I really had a passion for it.

So I started learning Adobe after effects I bought an online course worth 20k. The initial stages of learning was fun I did small projects for friends that fetched me little funds (made me proud).My aim to become an expert and enroll in upworks, But as i got deeper it became more challenging mehn that program has a high learning curve to be an expert u need to learn intricate details.

So sometime last year I got a new job and slowly I began to push learning After Effects aside to focus on other things.
Its been a year since I have touched the application now.

I hope God gives me d strength to pick it up again as I really have a passion for

At the beginning of the year, I had this idea of selling themes on Envato. It seemed like a nice way of making some cool passive income.

Paid a designer to design me a theme and I went to building. Building the theme was taking all of the time I had after work but i felt it was for a good course. A friend of mine had spent a year earlier on building a project to sell on Envato and after 3 months of review after he submitted the project got rejected. That got me to thinking damn. Even when I finish, after all the time investment this could get rejected. Aside that, I would need to do some marketing if the theme gets accepted to even make sales.

It felt like running a whole business from scratch and I completely wanted no part of that and scratched that idea and just focused on leetcode. I figured that at the point i was in my career, a year solving leetcode questions everyday would pay me much more than trying to put out digital products on Envato. My theme is unfinished buried somewhere in my hard drive

Started an online marketplace for market women
Found out that it will take more resources and time than I thought
Then decided to advance my career rather than wasting time and money on a project which might not survive

So I get the point you are trying to make although your language is a bit strong. But I like to think of OP’s assertion along certain lines. Think of Ronaldo and Messi (if you are a football fan). Messi is miles ahead of Ronaldo on raw natural talent. But Ronaldo completely eliminated the difference by constantly sharpening whatever skill he had to a point that he could compete with Messi. Think of it like a boxer. An excellent boxer who doesn’t regularly train to sharpen his reflex will never be as sharp as an average boxer who spends hours and hours sharpening his.

Constantly coding will sharpen a kids problem solving capability such that he looks like a genius because he has regularly “trained” his problem solving reflex.

Dear friend, source of migration is a pointer to who some of them were. Like I said earlier this explains why Okrika is linguistically different from Kalabari. It explains why some parts of Okrika were igbo speaking. Why former Kings in both Okrika and Kalabari were igbos. Ijaws migrated eastwards from the western delta, okrika migrated southwards while Kalabari migrated westwards from Calabar. There is a reason why akwa-cross tradition is found amongst the Kalabari.

It's refreshing to see your submission on these issues. Especially at a time when ignorance is rife in today's society. Considering ethnic composition of rivers state, it isn't just a case of igbo/ijaw dichotomy. Most tribes/groups today are a blend. Igbo blends are observable with Ogoni around Eleme as a group formerly known as Mboli. Andoni were originally Obollo people of today's Akwa-ibom who later had some igbo as well as ijaw elements. Okrika ancestors confirmed they migrated from Afam to their present location and today they have largely mixed up with ijaws. Kalabari/New Calabar were people who origin left Calabar(probably Efiks) axis in today's Cross River state and were led by the Aro to isiokpo before they eventually resettled in today's location. Today, there is a more ijawcentric campaign amongst them than efik/igbo.
These are some of the reasons why Okrika and Kalabari don't see themselves as same people even though IYC keep claiming them as ijaw. Most of these historical facts are well documented, unfortunately we do not read anymore.
Communal clashes and slavery were some of the causes of serious migration back then. A whole lots of tribal blendings occured that resulted in today's ethnic groupings.

Opobo is NOT Igbo .
Remove Opobo from your list.
Opobo is ijaw.

More like saying Nigerians are British for speaking some English.

Opobo is ibani ijaw

Hey.
My account was suspended yesterday but it just got approved and I realized the problem was from my end. I didn't use the right location on my upwork profile but I later did so and my account is finally verified.
Make sure the contents of your NIN slip match the contents on your profile. If they don't match, your account will be suspended.
Also use 'Others' instead of 'National ID' when selecting the category.
Lastly, don't send them a soft copy of the slip. Make sure you snap it. Don't crop it too.
Just send it to them like that.

Tranquill:
Oga please withdraw this your comment and speak for yourself.

Rivers people don't classify citizens.

SAMBARRY:
but such inflammatory statements especially as it pertains to security aren't jokes neither do stakeholders concerned (police) takes it as a joke

Humorme2:
When did you submit yours? Was your account placed on hold? Were you still able to message your client?

DrLevi:
1. I used my NIN and it was accepted

2. Can't remember what I picked but it should be National ID
