All this happening just a few days after a supposedly Head of State announced that no coup will happen ever again in West Africa.

I find it very annoying when people speak pidgin in official settings or public institutions. In my school (a university), Pidgin English and local languages are the lingua franca there among students and when people see that you don't often speak Pidgin like they do they see it as a form of arrogance or whatever. It's a shame.

It's a wise move on Davido's part to delete the controversial video and assess the backlash he received. Social media is a powerful platform, and public figures should always be mindful of the content they share. It shows that he is willing to take responsibility for his actions and not perpetuate any harmful or offensive messages. Taking feedback from the public and making changes accordingly is a sign of growth and maturity. Hopefully, Davido will use this as a learning opportunity and move forward more mindfully in the future.

This sounds like ChatGPT talking.

I've applied but yet to get the TIN.
How long does it take for them to send the TIN to my email?

Thanks!

I think it depends on your state and perhaps luck too. I applied for mine since Dec 2022 and only received it July 4. That's 6+ months.

KyleJason:
Guys,

What do I fill in the Tax Information displaying TIN (Tax Identification Number)...I don't have any.

It seems they'll demand the electronic ID.

What's the way forward before I can be paid on Upwork?

Visit https://tin.jtb.gov.ng/TinIndividualRequestExternal to apply for one.

But other fintechs do. For some of us, we keep dollars on Geegpay, convert to naira, and then send to workers. And it was one of their selling points when they started.

Oh, now I'm understanding from your perspective. I can only imagine how tedious that would be for you. But IMHO, I still think the pros outweigh the cons by far.

ArticleBeast:
Well, I don’t need that need safety. Why haven’t local banks initiated that option if it is for safety.

Well, you have a point. But you can't compare traditional banks with a Fintech like Geegpay. If things go south, traditional banks have better chances of helping you recover your lost funds, but with upcoming institutions such as Geegpay, not so much.

Heyf:
Funds released.

By Upwork or the client?

ArticleBeast:
They said one cannot transfer from geegpay to another beneficiary with different name

Yeah. I know it sucks but it's for the safety of your funds.

Babtunz:
I give him three months max. You'll soon hear of his misbehavior again.

It's more than three months already and there have been no single act of misbehavior from Portable in the news.

I take back my words.

folake4u:
I've used all except boat/ship.

Have you used this one yet? It's fast, efficient and eco-friendly.

Good news for the beneficiary gender

Damn. The replies on this thread

D. The question doesn't specify whether it's before or after midnight.

Hello everyone. For some reasons the price chart for local stocks on Chaka is not displaying properly. Anyone else experiencing the same thing?

FreeSpirited:
This looks like a citizen obstructing and interfering in the discharge of the duty of an officer of the law. Looks more like disrespecting the police
I don't think any celebrity has the duty to regulate the police. O wrong now

What about cases where the police don't respect themselves? This one might be of them.

Lol, funny story. But according to Wikipedia it was nothing but a mere rumor that his genitals were severed. So whatever is in that bottle must belong to someone else.

Nazgul:
It's the fuel subsidy removal effect. Coupled with the ever rising inflation we've been experiencing on a monthly basis. It shouldn't be more than 25 or at most 30k.

Yeah, I guess so. I'm kind of getting averse to buying heavy electronics from online stores nowadays. Especially Jumia. They hike the price of everything as if there's no tomorrow. I'm pretty sure the price will be way cheaper in physical stores.

Worriedwife:
It is good. The problem is we do not trust the government to plough back this money into the betterment of the country. That is why we would rather have subsidy as the only thing the common man gains from Nigeria

I beg to differ. Subsidy is for sure not the only thing the common man gains from being Nigerian. There are a host of other benefits we enjoy, for example, the freedom of misbehavior.

Nazgul:
Ken star. I bought it 19k last year. I don't know how much it would be currently.

Thanks! But it's currently #50k+ on Jumiawl, which I find really absurd.

Nazgul:
If you work from home, I'll suggest you get a laptop with very strong battery, that way you can still remain online for hours after power outage. Also, get a rechargeable standing fan. The one I bought lasts up to 7hours when fully charged. This would help you at night so you can preserve your fuel and won't have to put on the gen if the weather gets hot. That way your gen would only be put on when you want to work and have low battery. With the new fuel price, one has to adjust in order to survive.

Please what's the name of the rechargeable fan and how much did you get it for? Thanks.

Nasolabial folds or smile lines. They can be removed surgically though.

Safe travels. I'm following too.

Good riddance.

Draslo:
Designer babies.
Very soon they will be able to make babies without any physical defect. Like for example if you want blue eyes on a black kid, or a super brain or if you don't want him to be ever interested in penis enlargement. Like there's almost nothing. Very soon, they will give expectant parents a catalogue to choose what they want and don't want from their child.

I love the name. Designer babies.

I don't see a problem here, as long as you have an active contract on Upwork and you are getting paid on the platform, you are good.

If any issue arises, they will reach out to you and ask for prove of work.

I once had a client I worked with for about 6 months, the job was customer service and there was nothing to "submit" on Upwork.

Oh really, thanks! This has calmed me down.

Hi all, please I need your inputs. So there's this client I'm working for at the moment, we agreed they'll be paying me by milestone for the contract.

However, the work I'm doing for them is totally off Upwork and is not something I can submit.
I basically do my work on my PC and push it to their version control infrastructure (think GitHub).

Since the contract started, they've released payments for two milestones so far. And each time the milestone is approved, I do not submit anything (reason above), just a simple message to maybe say thanks.

I'm worried Upwork might think there's something off - that I'm being paid without doing any work (which is false) - and could lead to them suspending my account.

What do y'all think I can do about this? I really hope I'm not breaking any of their rules.

Thanks for your feedback! I appreciate it.

I give him three months max. You'll soon hear of his misbehavior again.
