It's not about a threat. It's about an new disruption and That's what a community as this is all about, so we can discuss about trends in tech.

Have you been to a startup peach before? Do you know what it takes to get funds from VCs?

Check all Nigerian Tech Startups, their funders have extensive experience in the filed at which they later built on. From Flutterware, Paystack, Paga, Kuda, etc.

This is a developer thread, and the aim is to have discussions on our Field.

Hello chief, what is a startup peach? Do you mean pitch or it's me who's unfamiliar with the term?

HI, I am so sorry, I have been moving around a lot lately and have not been able to sit and edit the tutorial, however, I went online to find something similar and I found this one, it is basically almost the same thing, maybe a few changes on the website tho, but it is nothing much. Please follow this and let me know how it goes.

It's all good! But I can't find anything attached to your message. Can you try sending it again? Thanks.

Cutezt:
It is both for individual and businesses, as long as you have an NIN, I did mine in the evening and got it the next morning, totally online and free. Would have made a tutorial on it today but today was a busy day for me and can't start doing anything, but hopefully tomorrow.

Hi Cutezt! Still looking forward to the tutorial.

I've got plans to go to the FIRS office in my state but my week has been hectic so far. I'm also partly stalling because of the tutorial; I'm thinking the tutorial is all I need and I may not need to visit their office to get this done.

I hope you send it in soon. Thank you!

Hi Cutezt! I'm thinking you missed sending the tutorial or probably you had a long day today? Feel free to send it in at your convenience. I appreciate it!

Amazing. Looking forward to the tutorial!

Cutezt:
Everything can be done online and in less than 24 hours. I will make a tutorial on it soon.

Ah, that would be awesome! But I thought online registration isn't meant for individuals. Am I wrong about that?
I already sent the FIRS branch in my state an email on the whole process, hopefully they get back to me soon so I can get this over with.

pocohantas:
I don’t encourage anyone to use false information anywhere. It is better to get one ASAP, hopefully it isn’t expensive.

I didn't know that could count as false information. Thanks for letting me know.
Will try and get one ASAP.

pocohantas:
You have to get one. I heard they get it through FIRS. I think any “individual” that has worked a 9-5 in a reputable organisation should have one.

Geez. Thanks, but I haven't worked a 9-5 before. Can I use someone else's?

Hello all, please how do I go about TIN verification on Upwork? I don't have a Tax Identification Number and I read it's mandatory for non-US residents to provide their tax details. Has anyone here without a TIN been able to solve this yet?
I'd appreciate any help I can get as regards this. Thank you!

Why won't Naira be useless...

Here you go

Nah rich people thread be this one

grandstar:
Does the Geegpay virtual card work with paypal? I need to make some payments using payal

I haven't try that before so I really don't know if it does.

pocohantas:
Can someone educate me on what is soup and stew to Yorubas. The guy said he gave her money to cook stew and she cooked soup. Except my eyes are not working, what I see in that pot is STEW (omi obe).

So, what is stew to Yorubas, please?

This can be very confusing at times.
My neighbor and I once argued over which one is stew or soup.

To me, omi obe is soup. While stew is the type you eat with rice (ata dindin).


That's what I call them since time immemorial

Hello everyone, Please i’m new to freelancing
Any help with my profile, i am grateful y’all

https://www.upwork.com/freelancers/~0191310dd17413e5ef

Bosses in the house i need help.

Hi, I'm not an Upwork expert but I have a few suggestions that might help.

You need to work on grammar and punctuation on your profile. For example you use I an i interchangeably. You should stick to the capital letter. And there are spaces in places where they shouldn't be.

Bapy:
Thanks, boss.

So I should Set up a payment method using “Direct to U.S. Bank” , right?

Yes boss

This is impressive, OP. Keep up the good work.

I'd advise you get some digital drawing tools so you can maximize your potential. All the best!

Bapy:
Thank you so much.

I just created a geepay virtual dollar account.

I can use it right?

And what does “Checking” means where they wrote account type?

Yeah, you can.

Bapy:
Please does grey.co virtual USD account works too?

I don't think so. Grey USD doesn't support ACH for now.

Courz:
You used it with Upwork? Does their USD balance support ACH transfers? And what is their rate?

Just thought I should help.

1. Yes. Geegpay works with Upwork as long as the name on your Geegpay Virtual USD account is the same on your Upwork profile.

2. Yes. Geegpay supports ACH transfers.

3. As at today, Geegpay's rate is 691/$ (I think they have the best rates around).

Courz:
I tried this method using grey.co USD bank details by selecting the bank transfer from to US to US option in Upwork but the transaction failed. I was told the USD Balance in grey.co only supports wire transfers which is very expensive. If you still have Payoneer funds, is it possible to add the USD bank details from grey.co in order to transfer the Payoneer funds to it? Will they support that transaction?

I don't think that will work. Grey.co doesn't support ACH transfers so you'll need to convert your Payoneer funds to GBP before sending to Grey.

I haven't tried Upwork to Grey but someone said it doesn't work anymore.

qtguru:
Adora's Wolfprogram on her Slack channel , I just use it as a guide for study

Is it paid?
How can I join? Thanks

qtguru:
Contribution , this can help at least break it down for you

What program is this, please?

ZaRed:
If you submitted NIN during registration, you should be fine.
They rarely review funds sent from reputable companies/platforms like Upwork, Fiverr, etc.
If possible, you could also try connecting the USD account from geegpay directly to Upwork if you're using your real details, it should work(don't know much about Upwork, I use Fiverr).

I can attest to this. Withdrawal from Upwork to Geegpay works and the funds took about ~2 days to arrive.

And if you go do mistake, put head, your own is finished.

If by some miracle you're able to complete the job, them fit still bone face give you 3.5 stars.

As per na their moni so they can do as they please.

If you value your mental health, bruv...

If 90% of Upwork clients are Indians swears I won't be there.

Some times when I read a job description and price the client wants to pay on Upwork, I don't know how I always end up saying "you're mad". Especially those Indians

U make sum money in tech what kind of advice do u need again

Making money is one thing. Keeping and using that money is another thing entirely. Not knowing how to do the latter can be very disastrous.
