Business › Re: Banks Have Stopped Giving Dollars. What is Your Experience? by Ayomipoe(m): 6:43pm On Nov 22, 2022
To be honest, i don’t know if you are being intentionally naive or you just want to be adamant about this point you are making and refuse to see where the problem lies.
The problem is demand and supply, low supply equals high demand and prices.
The idea that scarcity should not then be absurd is honestly a petty, tantrum-like notion. Humans will continually evolve and seek better arbitrage where there is one to be gained. It will be when you wish you buy power bank 10000mah and you hear the price at 20,000NGN for a used one and you say the merchant is a thief, remember lack of electricity should not be absurd sir. Have a fine day.
LegacyB:
So scarcity should not be absurd then . You can’t eat your cake and have it.

Now, you'll probably have to use SWIFT or maybe get a GBP card, then use TransferWise to collect your own money.
My fears about saving in a local bank don't seem far-fetched at this point. God 'safe' us.
MT:
I deposited pounds sterling into my domiciliary account last year. I wanted to travel and decided to withdraw part of my pounds, to my shock, at GTB they told me that there was no pounds.

So, what's the point of having dom account when I could not withdraw my own money from the bank where I keep it?
Business › Re: Banks Have Stopped Giving Dollars. What is Your Experience? by Ayomipoe(m): 4:34pm On Nov 22, 2022
Yes, but what happens when I want to pay for a service in USD.
For example, import a Car? Since my requirements for it is not of paramount importance to the Govt, I am left to source the USD on my own.
I can't buy the car in Naira, can I?
zomoears:
Expect more of this in the coming days.

You cannot be spending foreign currency in Naija like that,it should be regulated.
Business › Re: Banks Have Stopped Giving Dollars. What is Your Experience? by Ayomipoe(m): 4:24pm On Nov 22, 2022
It is idiocy for me to exchange my money at the Govt rate when I know that the value that the Govt has pegged it is absurd, worse even if I cannot buy at the supposed rate they are pegged it at, why do I then sell to them at that rate?
LegacyB:
Bro my opinion will be different here am not gonna join the band wagons. Tell the Bank you want to exchange at the official rate you’ll have your money . But the issue is most people want to sell to Black market and still blame the Bank for scarcity. This is Nigeria and we spend NAIRA qed....... so if dollar is scare it’s no issue. Bro look into the mirror.
Business › Re: Banks Have Stopped Giving Dollars. What is Your Experience? by Ayomipoe(m): 3:58pm On Nov 22, 2022
I want to hope so. I still feel very reluctant, just maybe the lack of trust in the system. I already have significant challenges in accessing USD on demand locally. I am not sure Emefiele will be there by this time next year, I will be surprised if the new administration does not fire him.
Dexyity:
Just the news alone will collapse all Influx on dollar into the country. We wey already have fx issue, they will now say they want to automatically change Innocent lying USD in domiciliary account.

Our economy is healthy, forget the current exchange issue. Emefiele can never try this shit. Check the influx of dollar into the country every month, now imagine if CBN tried such policy you mentioned! Those influx will stop and problem will loom for the country.

That is why CBN never even attempt such, rather, they are dealing with other loopholes that encourage frauds, black market exploiters etc.

Yes, you can open UBA Freedom DOM online with just BVN. It has its limits though.

Can I open domicilary account online.

You are the lucky person then. UBA don show me pepper

Business › Re: Banks Have Stopped Giving Dollars. What is Your Experience? by Ayomipoe(m): 3:40pm On Nov 22, 2022
Speculation for me o, but I spent a weekend thinking about it. Seems highly improbable, but this is Nigeria, and it scares me that a new Policy will force me to change my USD at Govt approved rates only. Then I see the Lebanon situation and think wtf.

YoobaNesan:
Is this a beer parlour report grin or a financial speculation?
Do you work in the financial sector? I never doubted this as I know the situation of the country as regards dollar shortage.
I want you to talk more on this.
Business › Re: Banks Have Stopped Giving Dollars. What is Your Experience? by Ayomipoe(m): 3:36pm On Nov 22, 2022
I fear this too. Hence my reluctance to save in my DOM account.
OP, the major problem is scarcity and maybe because you don't know someone. UBA does not allow me to transfer USD with my app, so I have to physically go to the bank to withdraw (This is a nightmare, I assure you). I heard Access and GTB allow you to transfer with the app.
What happens when I still used to go to the bank was that I would collect a recipient's account that used UBA as me, and then the FX guy would debit me and credit the guy. However, I noticed something weird. He would always cancel the sender name that I wrote as mine and write "self".
Now, I use Geegpay and USDT.

HAH:
. Very soon savings in dollars will be banned, Physical Dollars cash may also be banned, Naira value is getting eroded because people now use dollars like is our local currency, when travelling abroad you will have to buy travellers cheque from your bank.

Soon all your FX in dorm account will be converted to Naira, there are over $20B dollars in dorm accounts, if this is converted to Naira dollar can be less than 200 Naira

NO! A computer with 1GB of Video memory can push graphics-intensive tasks, albeit slower than normal.
If you just want to start, I'd advise you to probably go and learn Corel Draw / Photoshop from roadside stores that design covers and other graphics stuff, or if you can get a school for Corel Draw (I have no idea why people underestimate those folks).

Maybe because of the Spec of the System you need to have.

Do one need basic graphic design experience?
Career › Re: Please I Urgently Need Advice by Ayomipoe(m): 6:27pm On Oct 04, 2022
My fellow Big Man, the only relevant data you have posted is the "Resources - Low".
Remove that CGPA from your mind.
Where you need to go now depends a lot on that "Resources - Low". I will advise you to pick something in tech and give it a try, you will need a laptop ( it doesn't have to be the best, you can prioritize battery life over other specs) and a regular data subscription.
A lot of things are not as we'd wish them to be, so it will be in your best interests to look within and see if you already have some skills that you are underestimating its value or you are currently doing for free, monetize and use it to invest in the skill you want to acquire. If you have relatives you can still "story", story them and get those resources you need.
In whatever path you decide ultimately to try, remember that failing, is merely confirmation that the idea you tried did not work, try another.

ankiboy:
Hello. I am a 24 year old student. I am studying electrical engineering. I am in my 4th year. I reside in Abuja with my Mum. I just finished my IT, during which I didn't learn anything. I need advice on what lucrative skill I can acquire during this strike period. I've considered programming, but we don't have reliable electricity.

Some relevant data:
CGPA - 2nd class lower
Resources - Low

Thanks.

Lol. It's common sense. I just hope the tech space doesn't become saturated soon with every Tom, Dick and Harry going there.
Pareto's distribution - To those that have more, more will be given.

I also doubt that tech Jobs will be oversaturated, for tasks that involve getting something basic done, sure. There will always be a demand for niche skills and unlikely combinations of stacks.

pocohantas:
Those are the reasons. Your fellow Nigerians that are charging those rates also started from the bottom. They faced the challenges you are currently complaining off. The cycle would break with just one job. This job would boost your confidence level and you would see a reason to push further.

Also be sure you are applying right. I have read many proposals/profiles of fellow Nigerians and they are TRASH.
Thank you for the motivation. I am quite proud to have broken that cycle. I’ve been full time on upwork so far for about 1 year. It’s been an amazing ride for my confidence and self so far.
So I agree it is possible despite the reputation that fraud brings to Nigeria and our governments inadequacies.
Jobs/Vacancies › Re: What Are The Best Remote Career Options For Graduates? by Ayomipoe(m): 2:25pm On Sep 21, 2022
I am not honestly sure these are the reasons.
I also cannot preach about what method others use to break the cycle of getting rejected.
But if you check freelancers by country, you see our fellow country men charging $3 to $100 per hour and they have jobs on their profile to prove they are being hired.

LienwaltAbel:
Because your fellow Nigerians have made it made it impossible. It's either the government dishing out terrible policies that will harm freelancers or your average idiot running scams online. There's honestly nothing good about being a Nigerian.

Nodejs is not JS?
JS = Language i.e python, c#, c, ruby
Nodejs = Runtime engine i.e jre, deno
Both of you know what you are talking about, why are you arguing about the english.

Depends.
C# Blazor.
Python has brython
Rust Tauri

Programming › Re: Is Python A Good Language For Backend Web Development by Ayomipoe(m): 5:52pm On Mar 03, 2022
@op
If you are just starting, I'd advise you to not be bogged down into wanting to learn the best language or whatnot. Your mind at this stage just needs to take in the concepts and understand programming problem-solving.
You'll most likely learn and use multiple languages over the course of your programming experience.
Don't let someone else's flavour of code make you feel like another language is not good enough. Personally, I'd go with Python because I feel like it reads like English and curly braces are annoying sometimes.
I will also suggest looking at Javascript/Typescript/Node is not also a bad choice as it is close to the web and the knowledge you gain can easily translate to the frontend.
I've not used Php before, but Php devs will swear by it. Learn anyone, the main thing here is that you learn.
And don't let anyone delude you to the fact that there is no market for it in Nigeria. Why are you limiting yourself to Nigeria? People from the weirdest places even, need your services, crazy fact is that the only job I've ever gotten in Nigeria was an unpaid internship and several rubbish interview experiences.
Crime › Re: Mkpulummiri: The Dangerous Drug Destroying South East Youth by Ayomipoe(m): 9:53am On Nov 09, 2021
To be honest @OP, the drug abuse wave is not choosy of the tribe that it has found its abode. In my opinion, it is purely driven by profits.
You may observe the phenomenon better in your environment, but to be honest, it's everywhere and it will get worse. Why? Profits.
As far back as 2016 (https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/meth-super-lab-raided-nigeria-4-mexicans-arrested-n538496) Mexicans have already been arrested trying to cook the stuff in Lagos. It used to be expensive, hence you had to be super hooked or rich to come in contact with it.
This has evolved with more labs and more quantity. You can buy 1 gram of (ICE) for about 1k-3k in Ogun state now. I suspect that and inflation is what is moving boys from Agege to wait on major bus stops *begging*/harassing individuals.
It's not something that is stuck to your region only. It's a serious national problem that we are failing at woefully.
TM, both 100mg and 225(Tomato), Royphnol, Diazepam are being sold all around us in Lagos/Ogun/Kaduna by Hausa peddlers that have a small kiosk where they sell medicine, they are the frontmen in charge of this trade. Weed and different strains of cannabis selling gangs are not restricted by the tribe to get supply, unlike TM, Rev and Diaza, to start that up you mostly just need to know where to get supply from(Idioro, Alaka, Agege). I suspect Molly / Ecstasy / Heroin and Cocaine will be from those places too but waka never carry me to try those, so that's speculation on my part. Codine was in rave before, the cost per bottle/scarcity has discouraged consumers.
So @OP, it's the one that afflicts you that you see. It is already a national problem.
PS. Sorry if you find it offensive that I wrote that a tribe was responsible for a section of the illicit trade, it is merely a practical experience on my part that since 2013, I have only interacted with them when attempting to buy TM/REV every time, in 3 different states with the same Modus Operandi, it is not a coincidence that it is organized crime.
Travel › Re: Kaduna Immigration Office Has No Booklets: The Nigeria System About To Fail Me by Ayomipoe(m): 9:39pm On Dec 14, 2019
Just 3 weeks?
Mine has been in the Kaduna immigration office since beginning of August. First they said it was Hajj they were prioritizing booklets for, then story story till now. Ay at Kaduna office you are mad o.
I'm tempted to say it has misplaced so I can just goto Abuja and get another because I'm already tired, I sometimes even forget I have a passport sef.
DrJossy:
Alright, so myself and two other persons are slated to represent Nigeria in Israel at the world Bible Competition this year. This is after a rigorous process of biblical knowledge display. This post isn’t for this sha. I’ll share about it on a later day.
.
My joy of traveling and representing the country, networking and doing every other thing I’ve had in my mind to bettering my life all along is about to go down the drain, as the Nigeria immigration, Kaduna Head quarters has been unable to give me my passport nearly four weeks after application.
.
The reason is one of the stupidest I’ve heard in a long time: they do not have booklet to print my passport.

While I’ve been quiet about this all along, today I am out of patience. I’ve used all the strings of relationship I have to sort this out all to no avail, the story still remained the same, the entire Kaduna command ran out of booklet for printing passports and have been expecting resupply for over four weeks now. Four terrible weeks.
.
This morning one of the personnel there still made an attempt to make it all my fault saying, since I knew I needed my passport someone in my capacity should have had one before now and not come to be pressuring them now.
.
This is for something that is supposed to just take three working days. Something I've tried getting last year and had to abandon it since I couldn't keep up with their lackluster attitude and was in Kano already.
.
Surprisingly, the booklets seemed to have been exhausted even before I went for my documentation. Why they still went ahead to run my documentation knowing that they don't have booklets for printing is something I'm still unable to decipher, shey I would have gone to Kano àbí Abuja for the documentation.
.
This morning they were still running documentation for some other persons and one of the personnel was promising and telling them to come pick an ‘audio’ passport on Tuesday next week.
.
My team and I are slated to leave Nigeria on Tuesday, 17th, chances are that I may not make that trip if I’m unable to get my passport via a miracle.
.
I need help from anyone with capacity to help me. It wouldn’t make sense that I’m about to become a victim of this failed system.
.
Moderators please help me share this, .someone might be of assistance when it's on front page.

I need redress.

Everyone will swear by their own stack. But it really depends on what you want.
But my own take is that you learn JavaScript.
I don't know JS myself and I hate the fact. But JS Object oriented programming (oop) makes it easier to learn other C style languages easily.
I love python personally and I always seek a python first approach to solving clients issues. But learning python first? It's syntax makes it harder to learn other languages rapidly. But that's my own brain sha.
Js or python your fine. If your preference to pick python is because of data analytics and ML/AI. I'm very sure most popular libraries will support JS so don't worry.

The State coordinator was around yesterday on SAED inspection, and was on ground when the incident happened.
She addressed the issue. Calling a meeting between the camp management and Otondos, to avoid mob action and rumor carriers.

Please don't assume.

After clicking submit, the page does not ask me to log in again, it just simply stays on that same page with all the data i entered removed.
When starting the link ends with something like ?lnk=register after clicking submit for the first time it goes to a register . php page that essentially the same with the ?lnk=register page. it does not ask me to login again, just a blank page to fill in the data again. i have tried like 20 times.

I sent you a whatsapp message sha

I don't think I understand this quite well. The page refreshed and what happened? All you've uploaded vanished and you're to restart? Well I'd say log in and try again,don't worry too much over that.
