A Nigerian doesn't need to add " man" to it. Poor presentation

This post is for vacation which is means pictures are expected but the ever asking Nigerians don turn am to visa forum already. Expect more questions coming your way...I give up.

Glink2018:
Okay, nah your money?

no but there's something called giving back. It is reason you were able to afford malaria drugs at one point. Same reason you got polio vaccines.

Now were they your money? But here you are acting stingy with money that's not even yours. Who knows? You might not get rich with that mentality.

Hello Nairalanders,
I am compelled to share my experience with Google and also find out if anyone has had a similar experience.

Friday, Sept 21st, Google invited me to participate in a remote User Research, with a promised of a $125 Perks gift.

On Oct. 5th I was ebullient to take part in assisting #Google in providing valuation information to improve the usability of its cloud technology. The meeting lasted for 60-minutes. I love #GCP.

Surprisingly, on Oct. 10th I got a gift code of $50 (instead of $125 as promised). I was curious so I sent an email to the Team.

The Team replied me, "How Google does it is they convert the perks amount to a 'localized' amount based on the buying power of that amount in particular countries."

Being more curious, I sent another email asking the Team: Since Google doesn't consider local purchasing power, and poor countries pay the same amount as wealthy countries for their products like GCP Exams, Cloud Services, etc, why would it be different when receiving benefits.

I didn’t get an answer again from the Google Research team. So I throw the question to you: Is it fair to give people less than you should simply because of where they come from?

Thank you in anticipation for your responses!

OP, I am sure you are the victim here ? If yes, can you send me an email and get the photos of your replies and email you sent to google? I will publish this on Medium, this should be a collective fight!

DeepSight:
Many thanks.
So basically you think this is a banks authorization issue?

That's worrisome if true because so many much smaller and seemingly more backward countries are enabled on GPay.
Also, I was told Nigerian cards were previously on G Pay. Is that the case? If it is the case what could have changed?

There might be some regulation I think, I am not aware of but the space is so 1960s. Do you know that our POS still use edge? I mean 2g!

DeepSight:
Elucidate please.

from my observation, banks have to work with Google or apple for some sort of authorization. For instance, if you want to connect your card with Gpay, they tell you they will contact your bank...this is done automatically.
There are some banks that aren't even working with some payment forms in the US. Google has a long list of banks that are working and you might be able to find out.
Up till now we still don't have contactless cards, that should give you an idea of how backward our banking space is.

I don't know why we use WhatsApp. It is the most redundant messaging app out there. Lack features that other apps have. Try viber and see.

I don't watch people's status as I have them mute. Good for them.

By the way, the link to your story is dead.

Please take this story to Quora and medium! Believe me, Google is already in hot soup. Don't let this die.

DeepSight:
In addition, Google does not feature Nigeria on Google Pay. Can anyone explain why this is? Could it be related to our propensity for fraud?

Banks.

Do you see how trade and competition works ? Just slug it out without tampering with other's businesses. The one black man that I know would have run to the Govt to crippled their rival's businesses.

We still have a long way to go, we don't know business about jack. Not in politics, life, or even in business.

That's why companies like glo can't even appeal to poor Nigerians.

Justin Bieber is a product of rape

And so?

I mean who keeps a rapist's pregnancy? Girl is not telling the truth.

Slikbae:
Mumu, forming tough will not help you in life and showing emotions doesn't make you a weakling. It shows you're human.
Ode.

go baff jor. Otobo!

chijokz:
Under Buhari, Nigeria has never denied any foreigner visa..I've 3 friends working @ 3 diff consulates who told me this.

lol

JuanDeDios:
Anything, in particular, makes Latina women challenging to live with?

Some of the most dramatic women on this planet. I kid you not.

emerged01:
So he should abandon all the projects because he didn't start them or he should neglect the uncompleted projects and start his own project that he may not finish? As he done anything wrong completing the projects he met on ground? I don't understand your point o!

No. The Erats are making it look like nothing was on ground until Buhari came in. Like Bubu came in and buikt on his own blueprint. Are these supposed to be the things to campaign with? If not for our backward way of reason. Aren't we entitled to these things as they are basic humans needs.
Much of the US campaign is always about economy, security, and social security for the people.
These things arw suppose to be our right but the BMCs makes it look like APC is doing us a favor. This is sad.

seguno2:
Are you sure that you know what you are talking about

them go hear word! These inept buffons that couldn't add a single mega watt on power are claiming to be investing in railway.

Oblang:
Which ones were completed b4 leaving?

was it not your current minister of transportation that echoed to the whole country that he didn't know railway existed while he was riding one at that time? Maybe you should ask him na. The only new thing here is Lagos Ibadan railway which is a narrow gauge , in 2018!

ikennaf1:
Lol, you must think highly of Nigeria. But bro, sorry Nigeria is a visa free country

Don't say what you don't know.

miqos02:
this sadness is the more reason why Nigerians will continued to be denied visa. We see visa as a do or die affair. Visa to any country is not a birthright but a privilege

How come you are so smart ?

Slikbae:
Keep quiet. No one said he was entitled to a visa. If you've been denied before you'd know how painful the experience is. Plus,
everyone has been giving him hope saying he should try again. So far, not one person has said he was entitled to a visa.

I have been refused visa before. You weaklings come here to type trash. An adult should know that disappointments are part of the life cycle. Abeg go play with sand.

Ogaga87:
Gushhhhhh!!! I can feel there is tsunami in your temper but you have to take it easy...

No, far from it. I don't have one but truth should be served and it not pleasant when served but one gotta face it.

From all over the world, people are denied visas. No skin, country or personality exempted. Unless you are in govt or well known.

homirefacuny:
Guy you no get joy o

Adults should know facts. He's acting like he's owed.

Wtf. Why is everyone making this guy feel he was entitled to get a visa ? Is it your country ? Anyone has the right to deny you visa or entry and you have no right, I mean single to wail about it.
Did the embassy promised you visa ?
Na wa o.
You are sad, ehen! So what? Do you think Nigeria don't deny people visa ?

That's the game of visa, you no get, you go house go relax.

Laird:
From my little knowledge, not experience China has excess population and China government detests blacks who are from Africa and not skilled footballers or short terrm businessmen or Students

Stop this nonsense of blah blah detests blacks. They have a lot of population that are capable of doing the menial jobs. Why should you a foreigner, take it ?
If you are skilled, I'm sure you will get employed especially with tech companies.
If we go by your miseducation, they actually detests the human race because they tend to sort themselves first before anyone.

theoldpretender:
The above two people I have quoted are part of the problem Nigeria faces today.

Instead of them to complain about the racisim issue, or even the issue of alcoholisim....they are busy looking for tribe.

You guys should rent and share a house together. Am sure you would enjoy living together.

everything for una eyes na racism. Pathetic.

sehin79:
how come its the girlfriend that as something to leverage on... why would you send your nudes and the girl does not send hers too.
bad bizness.i bet if the video contain both of them involve in sexual act i doubt she would leak it.

Man lost his mind. Never seen a thing. Like this. Confirms the gilr was the one on control.
