Sure it will.
twosquare:
Thanks for the reply. I think it has to do with the news of earlier setting it at #650.

I just want to know if it hits naira bank account, it will go through without issues.
BusinessRe: Upwork Thread (Questions/Help/Advice) by Ayomipoe(m): 10:24am On Jun 24, 2023
I saw the rate as 650ish yesterday. Of course, I ignored it.
The whole currency situation is now very unclear. Google rates are $1=823.00, p2p is $1=770, FMDQ I&E FX Closing rate $/₦770.17
So maybe google does not have sense? It still does not explain why Upwork's payout is about 100 naira short.
twosquare:
Please, can direct deposit from Upwork to Nigerian account work since we have a new administration? Also, what's the rate if yes?
BusinessRe: Upwork Thread (Questions/Help/Advice) by Ayomipoe(m): 8:57am On Jun 24, 2023
I am not sure he deserves this response.
You have been spamming the thread with your offer. You could have easily ignored him, and continue to post the offer, it's a free world.
Yes registration is free, yes they will approve it provided you submit the documents required and you will also get jobs on it. it is not mysterious or something only a genius can do.
Chatflick:
You are mad and forever will be. Because you don't need it does it mean others don't? It shows you know nothing about Upwork. Registration is free oya go and make them approve it then start getting jobs. Oloriburuku

This is subjective.
Most of us have different niches, depending on what you are selling, the story might be different.
There is no harm in putting yourself on the platform first with a Nigerian account and seeing how it goes, however, you have to be aware of the victim mentality. It might be easy to conclude that the reason you are not getting jobs, is because you are not using a foreign account.
Lamban2:
How’s it in times of getting jobs? Most guys I know will say foreign account is more better

I am not angry, on contrary I am having quite a pleasant week, thank you.
You can do whatever you wish with what you own.
"Sha don't be using it anyhow if you don't need it", seems like an absurd statement. Although you have mentioned that your phrasing was intentional, I don't know if you meant to jest. However, you doubled down on your statement that the mentality is to blame.

Why are you gatekeeping the usage? You are not the service provider, if he decides to only stream his media and download just for fun or share his wifi password with his street, duh.

If I pay a million naira for my internet, and I decide to share a screenshot to pepper people of how I am living large. Please, please, you aren't one to preach to me if I need to be that exorbitant, my ISP will notify me.
Stanley08:
This mentality is the problem. If he paid 50K or 100K is that now reason for him to "thread softly"? My phrasing is intentional but I understand that fuel is 500 naira and everybody is just looking for what to be angry at.

Not because you paid 1million for internet means you should download a 100GB file you do not need or even want sef lol.

WHAT'S THE POINT?! Because you paid 400K?

This has effectively nailed the coffin for those Shylock traders selling the kit for 550K and above since every Lagbaja and Tamedun can now easily buy the kit with so much ease. Progress!

Even if there is a data throttle, why not simply pay for a higher tier if you use excess data.

gogeekish:
Soonest, there will be data throttle when users like dustmalik becomes too common. Hehehe... I just pray a time to throttle data won't come too soon.

Thank you!
Do you pay tax? How do freelancers handle taxation in nigeria, jackest1 do you have an idea?
pocohantas:
VAT is 7.5%
7.5% of your service fee (Upwork commission).
BusinessRe: Upwork Thread (Questions/Help/Advice) by Ayomipoe(m): 3:54pm On May 19, 2023
Thank you, now I understand.
jackest1:
In Nigeria, the VAT rate is 7.5% of the cost of the service being taxed.
BusinessRe: Upwork Thread (Questions/Help/Advice) by Ayomipoe(m): 7:33am On May 19, 2023
Upwork removed NG VAT tax from my money.
Trying to get the exact percentage.

BusinessRe: Upwork Thread (Questions/Help/Advice) by Ayomipoe(m): 10:49am On May 03, 2023
Since GeegPay verification is slow for you, you can use Wise.

Caveat, Upwork to Wise is slow. When I withdraw on Fridays to Wise, if I don't receive my money by Tuesday, I don't panic, I simply grumble.

That said, Wise also does not send to Naira, it can send to your DOM account, but I have no idea how long that will take (never tried it). This leaves you with sending GBP to your Grey account.
Noones is the successor for Paxful which was closed down. You can use it to p2p, by using Wise to buy USDT on the platform, then selling the USDT for NGN. Sounds complicated, but it can be done in about 20 mins. Ignore all those that say stuff like they buy Wise funds and others, you'll most likely fall victim to fraud before finding someone honest, especially when you can do it yourself.

As for the rates, you can see it in the images attached
$100 USD to USDT == 96.179093 USDT
96.179093 USDT == 71127.33 NGN


Michellasilva:
Please can you explain better? And what’s the conversion rate?

BusinessRe: Upwork Thread (Questions/Help/Advice) by Ayomipoe(m): 6:40am On May 03, 2023
Wise? You probably could do Wise -> Grey or Wise -> Noones
Michellasilva:
They don’t have the virtual usd account anymore, just the GBP, and as for Geegpay they are taking forever to verify my account, that’s why I’ve just decided to look for an alternative
BusinessRe: Upwork Thread (Questions/Help/Advice) by Ayomipoe(m): 6:38am On May 03, 2023
No you can't.

PoliticsRe: Postponement Of Subsidy Removal Disappointing, Says Magnus Abe by Ayomipoe(m): 3:54pm On May 01, 2023
Frankly, I agree on some of the points.
Personally, I don't mind paying 5 times the previous price as a result of a new Government policy. The reluctance and the pain comes from where we know these resources they claim are saved as a result of the hardship inflicted upon me, are mismanaged. The benefits, never reaching the bottom.
I have nothing personally against Tinubu. I believe actions speak louder than words, I will wait and see what he does.
As time does go on, I gain a deeper understanding of this our special nation Nigeria, the supposed Cabal, does truly exist, and their interests will be protected. In the short term, it will be impossible to secure the borders, Bubu's policy of no fuel sold 20km to the border. As long as there is profit to be made, there will be risk-taking entrepreneurs and willing saboteurs.

Tinubu cannot remove the fuel subsidy, at least not in his first term. It will take a brave Govt with nothing to lose.
ben1daEbiri:
We all know thus but our fear is that if subsidy is done in a haste the country would implode. Why do you think Buhari didn't remove it? What will happen will be 3 times of that with the ill-thought cashless policy during the election. Anyone who removes subsidy would have a largesse to look from that's why subsidy removal should only be handled by someone who atleast has some trust with funds — that person is not Tinubu! He's scared he may not be re-elected with the new found hardship and chaos he must have thrown Nigerians into. Would you mind paying #500 for fair that used to be #100? The consequences would be too much, I mean much more than the problem of racketeering of oil products across the border that we're trying to fix.
PoliticsRe: Postponement Of Subsidy Removal Disappointing, Says Magnus Abe by Ayomipoe(m): 12:37pm On May 01, 2023
Actual value of the fuel is between 450 and 1000
chicoMX:
A litre of fuel is sold for over #200..


And them never still remove subsidy! Omo
PoliticsRe: Postponement Of Subsidy Removal Disappointing, Says Magnus Abe by Ayomipoe(m): 12:32pm On May 01, 2023
Bubu, claimed the 5000 is for social intervention programs.
They need to borrow money, we are not generating money. Sooner or later, we would face the decision of cuts. Supposedly increasing the salaries, with no income, CBN stooge is just printing and printing. Inflation will worsen year on year and if they continue down this path, all we would have is worthless paper. I don't even trust the banks anymore (minimal exposure to them, no Naira savings or USD DOM account), I am just living my life with the expectation that all will go to hell and mostly the rich will exploit the situation to their benefit.
michlins:
these are the issues. Until they're forthcoming with the truth, subsidy should remain. If we check well, they're not probably paying subsidy to the extent they claim.

Another thing is why dash ₦5,000 when there are major issues to fix
PoliticsRe: Postponement Of Subsidy Removal Disappointing, Says Magnus Abe by Ayomipoe(m): 12:19pm On May 01, 2023
Fuel subsidy, inevitably is not sustainable. It has to be removed. Yes the ripple effects in the short term would be disastrous for any Government of the day, the instability that it will cause continues to make it a scary disease that we just want to continue managing.
However, it has to be removed. The process is not transparent, NNPL cannot continue to be a regulator and a player in the game. Not to mention that it is the sole importer of gasoline, it's almost as though they are waiting for Dangote to come online then it transitions to a regulator.
It is in my opinion that even when Dangote comes online, it might be cheaper to import than to buy from him. However, Alahji Putin (https://medium.com/@doubleeph/alhaji-putin-s-republic-a07381caec18) will not allow anyone threaten his monopoly. He is after all coming as our fuel messiah.
GeneralPula:
So in your own opinion, should subsidy be removed?
PoliticsRe: Postponement Of Subsidy Removal Disappointing, Says Magnus Abe by Ayomipoe(m): 10:43am On May 01, 2023
Yeah, since it is the Govt itself that is responsible for these fiscal cuts. At the end of the day, it is still the masses that are most affected.
You can argue that our government does not already do anything for us in the first place, it will curtail their purses. However, the future that awaits, even when Dangote brings his refinery online does not seem like a pleasant experience for the masses. Our Nigerian government has show over time that they would rather throw the citizenry under the bus than share the largess with them. Currently they are claiming they are giving monies (#5000) to some certain people, I have not seen even a single recipient.
michlins:
let the government do it's job and curtail smuggling. Honestly we the masses should not be made to take the fall for government wastes.

Many years ago, government was wasting money and doing nonsense until now they're broke, they want to remove subsidy without alternative. All of us were here when this administration promised one refinery a year and it has been eight years with nothing. The signed MoU on revamping old one when experienced people were saying it was better to build new ones.


Like I said, government should borrow and if they can not borrow again, let them cut their big salaries to pay subsidy until they provide alternative
PoliticsRe: Postponement Of Subsidy Removal Disappointing, Says Magnus Abe by Ayomipoe(m): 9:47am On May 01, 2023
I think this is a naive opinion. You should't borrow to pay subsidy on Gasoline, wherein a significant proportion of it is exported to neighbouring countries. Nigeria has the lowest gas prices in West Africa and we are a smugglers paradise.
Soon the borrowing will be impossible without fiscal cut, very steep ones unlike those we have ever seen.
michlins:
Until uninterrupted power supply comes, subsidy should stay. Government should stop pushing its responsibilities to the masses. It's not like they already built enough local capabilities to serve us. They just want to pull the plug and allow the masses to adjust.


If they want to borrow to pay subsidy, they should. Every country pays subsidy on one item or another. Nigeria own won't be different

The Nigeria people will not be the ones providing their; electricity,roads, security, health insurance, and virtually all and anything else
BusinessRe: Upwork Thread (Questions/Help/Advice) by Ayomipoe(m): 5:12pm On Apr 25, 2023
Because it is paper.
They have some requirements about the ID, I can't recall. However, it cannot be paper or handwritten.

Is that the only GOVT ID that you have? Even an expired one?

My advice to you is that you contact support.
Picture attached is the approach I took when Nigeria wanted to kill me because I want to get passport, they verified me with the details and images I provided.

BusinessRe: Upwork Thread (Questions/Help/Advice) by Ayomipoe(m): 10:06am On Apr 19, 2023
No card provider uses the official rate. They would be out of business if they did.

Ps: do they use official rate or the BDC rate?

Bros, this is why I have a Payoneer Card. I don't know of another option you can top up with USD directly.

RoyalPriesthuud:
Chiefs, is there a dollar card that one can top up directly with USD?

I'm looking for a card service to pay for things tutorials and co.

Geegpay card service is currently unavailable and converting first to Naira just to top up cards like Chipper cash's is loses money to fees and exchange rates imbalances.

Remitly directly to your DOM account. If the person is from the US, ACH to GeegPay. I wonder why Wise is being reversed tho, suspicious!

Hi

Please I need some advice and direction.
I want to receive payment from a client off Upwork. I want to know which platform is the best option.
I have actually tried wise but payment reversed back to the client.
I need another option.
I will appreciate a feedback
Thank you
BusinessRe: Upwork Thread (Questions/Help/Advice) by Ayomipoe(m): 8:45am On Apr 11, 2023
Why not use https://noones.com it is simply Paxful rebranded. I migrated my data completely from Paxful and I have already traded Wise several times on the new Platform
beautycrush24:
I hear access bank still works with Payoneer though. And you can easily transfer to another access dom account. I think I'll be going back to that method since paxful is no longer an option.
BusinessRe: Upwork Thread (Questions/Help/Advice) by Ayomipoe(m): 7:32pm On Apr 10, 2023
I mentally track their rates with naira4dollar.
The only reason why I use them is because of convenience, and that UBA DOM account prevents you from transferring with the mobile app.
qtguru:
it's like one will stop using Geegpay, it's 725 compared to 740 rate, that's a whole loss of funds compared to Direct BDC.
