TravelRe: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 2) by avalon7(m): 1:22pm On Apr 13, 2022
HELP! I just read on the uk immigration site that Freelancing is not allowed for people with a student visa (tier 4). Please does anyone know if they enforce this and how? I have fairly successful gigs on Upwork and fiverr and I'm curious as to if this would count as self-employment/freelancing and what will happen if I'm discovered to be earning money on these platforms while studying? THANKS FOR YOUR RESPONSES

ProgrammingRe: I Want To Learn Programming. Which Language Should I Start With? by avalon7(m): 12:00pm On Apr 08, 2022
Which laptop is the best specs for coding?? Within budget of 100-150K pls
Hp. But I don't think you can get a good laptop for 150k except you can get a good fairly used one. If you're serious with programming, your laptop should come with at least an intel i3 processor or better, 4g ram or better, 1355x768 screen resolution or better, and good battery life. You can get a regular HDD laptop if you're just starting but if you have the extra bucks you should get an SSD laptop. SSD laptops are 3 times faster than their HDD counterparts but cost almost twice as much

That explains your hatred towards the female gender.

One thing I have observed is that male children that grew up without mother's parental care and love tend to turn toxic to the female gender.




You are just a bittered soul feeling rejected and worthless cos you have been deprived motherly love, that you choose to vent your frustrations on the female gender under the disguise of redpill movement.


You feel like you are not worthy and can never be loved by a woman and the only way to make yourself feel better is adhere to the 36 LAWS OF POWER;, Disdain what you cannot have.

You are simply a misogynist!
I hate when people use buzz words carelessly.
What part of this post suggested that he hates the female gender?
You can say he's a bad son, probably hates his mother you can say he's a bad person in general
Absolutely nothing in this post suggested that he harbours hate towards the female gender but you had to bring in your INTERNAL BIAS, bringing up misogyny and red pill to a post that had nothing to do with it.

PoliticsRe: When Jonathan Was Called 419 Over ₦140 Fuel Price (Throwback Photos) by avalon7(m): 12:39pm On Mar 03, 2022
Roger3D:
The value of N140 in 2012 is not the same as the N140 in 2022. Taking into consideration inflation ad other economic factors, Jonathan was most likely asking us to pay an equivalent of N350 per liter in today's money so the protest back then was justified
False!

N140 in 2012 is not equivalent to N350 now, stop being silly and also who is to blame for the level of inflation? The irresponsible government borrowing money, devaluing our naira and doing nothing with the money borrowed.

who brought plenty? Nigeria had plenty when the whites were here, even after the whites left we were cool, dont even think it was PDP that brought plenty

who took plenty corruption, issurgents, tribalism, terrorism, partisan, religion differences, secessionist agenda
Stop moving the goal post. You came to this thread talking like Johnathan was to blame for the poor economic condition of Nigeria that this current administration brought about. " Time of plenty and time of lack". All stats show that buhari has spent most of our foreign reserve and yet seems to have done nothing with it, worst than any previous administration

Why are some people always eager to defend this buhari led administration when it is clear that it has failed!
PoliticsRe: 2023: Tinubu Remains Our Choice Despite Shaking Hands – Jibrin by avalon7(m): 7:36am On Mar 02, 2022
Deadlytruth:
If you think Nigerians genuinely care about age or health status of candidates, then you obviously never followed the issues that surrounded the candidacy of Yaradua who, despite having been confined to obscurity by terminal ill-health for eight years even as a state governor and in addition even collapsed during a campaign after Obasanjo imposed him on PDP despite the availability of far better, clean, dynamic, current and more forward looking aspirants for the PDP ticket; Nigerians justified Obasanjo's choice of him and went ahead to give him bloc votes and till today still regret that death didn't allow him to continue ruling the country in that seriously I'll state of his and his directionless government. As an expert in public psychology, I can bet it that those raising dust against Tinubu's candidacy on health and age grounds are only using it as a more presentable subterfuge in asking for their pound of flesh for exercising his freedom of association in 2015 against Jonathan their beloved choice. Let PDP give her ticket to Atiku and watch all this talk of age and corruption fizzle out with the speed of light. Or let a medically certified terminally ill person clinch PDP ticket and watch I'll health vanish from the narrative.
Sadly our bad leaders are a mirror image of the Nigerian people. Quality men who can move this country in the right direction will not be able to get a ticket in any of the top parties and even if they did Nigerian people will not vote for them because most of us are driven by greed, tribalism and ignorance.
But out of all the bad options for 2023 presidential election i think tinubu is the worst

Oya name your own choice here and now and tell us their path to Aso Rock. Simple.
There are a bunch of people that i would gladly support if they decide to contest but they are yet to do so and there is no point in mentioning them until they do.

The fact remains that tinubu is a horrible option maybe even the worst possible option. It's hard to imagine a worse choice.

I don't need to have a candidate in mind to know a bad one. No forward thinking Nigerian with morals should be supporting a candidate like tinubu. This man belongs in a home for the elderly and not aso rock
BusinessRe: UBA Sets International Spending Limit To $20 Per Month by avalon7(m): 6:56pm On Feb 25, 2022
Ammishaddai:
Fraudulent activities and illegal money laundering schemes. That's why PayPal and other payment methods don't operate in Nigeria anymore. It's also one of the reasons why your spending is limited on International transactions with all banks nationwide
People are always in a hurry to blame "yahoo boys". The truth is that all these companies stop providing their services in Nigeria because our government is corrupt and irresponsible. Banks are putting limits on international transactions because there's no dollar i.e foreign exchange, your politicians are transferring all the wealth we have to other countries. You should actually be grateful to these so called yahoo boys because they're to thank for a huge portion of the forex entering Nigeria
Jobs/VacanciesRe: 1.5M Monthly In Nigeria Vs 4k Pounds Monthly In The UK by avalon7(m): 3:15pm On Feb 24, 2022
Golan007:
The idea is to compare a guy earning 1.5 million Naira a month with one earning 4k pounds.

If the 4 k pounds guy has to avoid Netflix, then he's definitely worse off than the Naira earner.
I get what you're saying but you have to look at it holistically. Even tho the same amount of money will do more for you in Lagos than it would do in London, you have to consider the difference in standard of living and the state of this country. You would find that it would cost almost the same amount of money for someone in Lagos to maintain the same standard of living as an average person in UK. Plus with the rate of recession in this country the value of that 1.5m could be halfed in the next couple years ( assuming he is getting paid in Naira)

Let me tell you one thing, except he's living in a village in Derbyshire, he'll most likely live in a small flat whilst spending 1k pounds on that alone.

Car - 300 pounds a month

Phone, broadband, Netflix - 180

Council tax - 200

Electricity - 120

That's already 1800 pounds without even paying for fuel and clothes and feeding.
This one d include Netflix for expenses. You sound like an extravagant person, no offense lipsrsealed

Toks2008:
very true.

He said 4k after tax so lets say he pays high tax of 40% since he will be earning over 50k per annum i guess that will come to about £5500 a month which is about £90k a year.

But right now the highest tech salary is within the range of £65k a year.

So this story is lamba.
You are obviously not into tech. Some entry level position in tech pay that amount.

1.5m in Nigeria could be gone anytime as there is no job security in this country or any sort of security at that.

ProgrammingRe: How Much Do You Charge As A Web Developer? by avalon7(m): 6:09pm On Feb 18, 2022
qtguru:
Method 1: Deels

Client pay me there as contractor

method 2: DOM Account

They send to my DOM and I sell to BDC

Method 3: Wise

I send to my Wise and sell to a friend who sells the cash on Lemonade

Method 4: Bank ( Only do this if you are desperate)
My DOM can convert to naira except that this uses official rate.


My Advice

Get a DOM Account
Try and get a Wise Account

and find people who you can sell to, trusted friends. I have colleagues outside the country so it is easy for me
Which bank do you have a DOM account in? I have a zenith DOM account but it is quite limited.
Why do you sell your wise funds? Are you unable to withdraw from your wise to your dom account?
ProgrammingRe: How Much Do You Charge As A Web Developer? by avalon7(m): 6:00pm On Feb 18, 2022
XploraBen:
What about using Payoneer?
If you are a freelancer you definitely need a DOM account even if you have Payoneer. If you withdraw from your Payoneer to your dom account you can withdraw the dollar cash then change it at 565+ at BDEs but if you withdraw from your Payoneer to a naira account Payoneer will use 406/dollar or less to convert for you
