This doesn't make any sense to me though. Are you trying to encourage more people to cross railroad or what? What exactly is the essence of this act?

What is the recommended background color for the passport photograph we're going to submit. Red or white? Or it doesn't matter?

You are in order except for that number 4. You do not need go with your documents if you have done documentation process earlier. Some do carry out their documentation on the day of capturing but I will not advise such.

Thanks for your response! I just want to add step 4 to avoid any sorry story. I have read it here where people who submitted their documents before the capturing date were told their docs couldn't be found anywhere on the capturing day

Hello all, I'm trying to get my passport and I want to be sure I understand the process correctly.

Here's what I think the process entails.

1. Pay for whatever type of passport I want on NIS website and get a capturing date.

2. Get the required documents - NIN, passport photographs, stamped guarantor's form, local government letter of identification, birth certificate.

3. Submit these documents to the NIS office where I'll be having the capturing.

4. Go to the NIS office on the day of capturing with extra copies of the documents above.

5. After capturing, wait for a message to confirm the availability of my passport or track it on NIS portal.

I'm not sure if the above is exactly how the passport application process works, so I'd appreciate any inputs from the community.

Thanks all!

The GP6PRO, might be older....... But it's still a much higher spec, than the GP7......

Plus the GP6PRO, comes with a battery extension pack.......

It's like wanting to buy a Mercedes S class 2022 model vs Mercedes E class 2023 model.......

The S class is more superior.........😂😜

Ohh, I get it. Thanks

Why is the 6 Pro more expensive than this one?

My Opinion..
WHY ARE YOU INTERESTED IN THIS POSITION
I read about your Job descriptions, your company's mission and future goals and it's something I identified with...Since your company( mention the name of the company...It will look like u knew it and what it stands for) aspires to be the world class in customer service ( just take career of your choice to replace customer service and find what the company does) As a customer service manager, I believe in giving the best services, Hence, I want to contribute my own quota to make sure that the goal is achieved. also since your company believed in career advancement, I want to grow with it.

2 WHY ARE YOU GOOD FIT FOR THIS POSITION
Though you may have met a lot of professionals, but I believe that I am a perfect fit for this role. I have a masters degree in ABC and a Bachelor's degree in CDE. My analytical and customer service skills are topnotch, my communication skills have never failed, and I am a problem solver. The ability to figure out what the customer desires and provides a quick solution is the key to this role

Best reply so far. 👍

Politics › Re: Nairaland Presidential Exit Poll: Who Did You Vote For & Why? by Babtunz: 12:35pm On Feb 25, 2023*

Still at the polling unit waiting to vote...
I'm number 256 on the queue and they're still on 80. 🥲

Update: 4:20 PM and I've just performed my civic duty. There's this feeling of fulfilment that engulfed me after casting my vote for the first time. I truly hope we can salvage this country from the ruins we have reduced it to.

I voted Labour Party. Presidential oo, Senatorial oo, House of rep oo. Even though I didn't know the candidates for the last two I voted LP all through.

As to why, let's say I'm gambling on the lesser evil.

I have done my part, now let God's will be done.

Business › Re: Upwork Thread (Questions/Help/Advice) by Babtunz: 8:52am On Feb 22, 2023

wasiubello:
Please guys i need some clarification on Geegpay, i have been using payoneer to make withdraws from Upwork but their charge is much, so i decided to use Geegpay.

So i link my Geegpay Well Fargo account to upwork, and later make a withdraws of $190 since Saturday, and up till now is haven't see the money.

So my question to those that have used Geegpay on upwork, how long does it usually take less than 5: hours for withdrawal to reflect.

Note, i have been making withdrawal from payoneer to Geegpay, and it will take less than 6 hour's to reflect.

I. Don't know if because i made the withdrawal on weekend.

I need to hear from you those that have used Geegpay to withdraw from upwork

You are right. Your transaction is delayed because you made it on a weekend. US banks typically do not process transactions on weekends so you're very likely to experience some delay.

Since you performed the transaction on Saturday I think it ought to have been delivered by now. You can try reaching out to both GeegPay and Upwork's customer support for help, too.

Also, try and check the GeegPay bank details you added on Upwork to make sure you didn't make any mistakes.

I hope you get your money soon.

Hi guys.

Please, what's your recommended withdrawal method for Upwork that does not leave money on the table and is reliable? I thought Wise would be a great option, but I learned they are no longer one. Payoneer is out of the question for obvious reasons.

I'd really appreciate the help.

Please give reasons for the bolded above.

Let me poke my nose.
Yes Upwork to Wise works, you need the USD account from Wise, and it costs 20$( this is not taken from your account, just for verification). It can be verified with a Payoneer card ( at least that's how I did mine, chipper did not work, neither did UBA Prepaid $ card)

You can use Wise to receive funds outside of Upwork, from anyone either using your URL / email or giving out the Bank details.

Advisable to keep your money in Wise? I don't know, but honestly, I don't have any confidence in the Nigerian banking system anymore. I have resolved to keep my money in Wise till further notice. The fact that I can use it to transfer to a variety of countries and persons, without needing to go to the bank
If you wish to receive your funds in Naira from Wise, simply withdraw to either Geegpay or Grey or trade it on Paxful for crypto.
The decision is yours, depending on your needs.

Thanks a lot, Ayomipoe.
I have made the initial deposit of $20 - I used Payday's virtual card.
Yeah, my lack of trust in Nigerian fintechs is why I'm looking to keep my money elsewhere. Thanks again for this information.

Hi qtguru, I figured you're one of the few who use Wise here and I have a few questions I need your help with.
1. Does transfer from Upwork to Wise work? And can you use Wise to receive international funds in USD?

2. Is it a good idea to keep my funds in Wise?

Thanks for your response, chief.

I feel this might be useful for anyone trying to improve their proposal writing skills.

It's both in my opinion.
