Have you ever tried so hard to register both on Upwork and Fiverr with your Nigeria account and get rejected over and over again? This boil down to the reputation we have all built as a country and as individuals. Many are skillful as graphics designers, writers, artist, building sites and many more.
The problem is that many who have defrauded foreigners with their Nigeria account has ended up killing the hopes of Nigerians becoming successful in these platforms.
Smart we are though, Nigerians have resulted to using foreign accounts in order to get jobs from these platforms and these has been working over the years.
So how do we resolve this problem? Many have wondered.
Over the coming week, a group has be created and we will be sending useful information to these platforms to help them grant Nigerians more opened access to gaining jobs on these platforms. On the other hand, all in Nigeria making use of foreign account illegally might be affected.
We have collected a few accounts that has been used to scam Nigerians and we will be forwarding this to them, such accounts will be used to trace other account running in the same way. We will advice them to ban such account and make the platform available for Nigerians again.
Many Nigerians have been scamed by their country men who also work on this same platform. If we will make Nigeria better in the online scene, it starts will us.
More updates will roll in when ball is about to be kicked rolling.
Security operatives will also be informed about this development as we have contacted few operatives to make the move official.
The fight against corruption starts with each one of us.

The upwork/fiverr issue isn't a question of getting access to the platform..You are probably ill-informed to than that is the main issue. I have a Nigerian account on upwork created and approved and I don't get the Job's that I apply for..the reason for this is simple.. I am not a native English speaker....it's the same reason people from India, China and other Asian countries might find it hard to get jobs... Most clients believe that a native English speaker will do a better job and ask specifically for that in their job descriptions. SO even if ur Nigerian account has been approved, you will still have to get over that personal barrier to land any Job.

Bottomline is that while you efforts are laudable..I don't think it's d definitive solution to the issue on ground..u will only be solving part of the problem and creating some new ones in the process (I don't want to talk about this part)
