When you keep voting for selfish undead village men, how will your country get any global respect?

If I tell you the beginning of your solution start from voting for Sowore, you will still go and choose APCPDP.
Admit it, you love the suffering and the backward state of things.
It gives you something to complain about.

So many are not computer programming related. I got a client that needed me only for email communication. All I did was respond to emails of aggrieved customers @8/hr for 40hrs/week. On the very first day of work, they were so condescending and insulting, I wondered if it was because I am a Nigerian abi that is their nature. I almost developed hypertension in those few hours, so I told them to end the contract and they did the next second.
how is the pay like and is their still vacancy?

Lol. I already stated the pay was $8/hr after Upwork 20% deduction. Which should give N179,000 a week as at when it happened. I don’t know if the position is still open, I never checked back. smiley

YES, or so I think.

After answering the followup questions containing disclosure of nationality et al, I got no feedback.

Followed up and found out they eventually hired a South African.

Wow! Now I'm curios.

I think I'll need some really good tips from you.


Just be good at what you do. The world has the cyberspace as it's mirrored existence. There's definitely something for everyone. Start small, be consistent, scale-up

That's the secret. Currently, my employers" Americans " will never hire a non-Nigerian easily. I made sure of this. I worked on my deliverables in such a way now that the platforms i get projects now automatically direct projects to me without me even seeking for jobs. I managed to climb to the top ranking in my service filed( As a Nigerian ), and on the global scale, i rank extremely high

If I may ask, what’s your Job?
DoctorOlasDesk:
I lost out on a $1200 per week job few months ago because i mentioned the word, Nigeria. I was supposed to earn roughly $5,000 monthly and the project was to continue for a year plus. I eminently qualified for it cause I met all the requirements they sought for.

It happens we move. I ended up getting a replacement with the same figure sha. Today I work with three major firms, One an Asian firm and two American firms. With the quality of projects I've pushed over the past year with them, they will never hire a non-Nigerian again. I made sure i over-deliver with every project to reinforce this narrative

Yes, I remembered working for a popular Canadian website community with over 200,000 members as an SEO expert. I worked 2 to 3 hrs per day from Monday to Friday, and I was paid $200 per week back then. The CEO complained that he can't pay a Nigerian that much because the minimum wage in Nigeria was barely $70. He later terminates the job after 2 weeks because he feels I am earning too much as a Nigerian.

The guy Na confam racist

Hahahaha. This is how they behave o. The moment they see your earnings and how it's rising as a Nigerian, they force a condition where one gets sacked. It's always this way, always

I can’t refer you to the client, but email communication jobs come up every time. You can always apply for them and attach samples and certifications (if any).

True. If not for remote jobs, the whole country would have been up in flames from the hardship bestowed on the citizenry by the ineffective government
