Not bad but I will introduce a visitors toilet downstairs possibly by the ante room and make the current communal bathroom ensuite. By so doing you future-proof the house in situations where the elderly relatives (e.g parents) are visiting and can't be bothered with climbing stairs or when you are old and gray or can no longer be bothered with climbing stairs, just colonise the downstairs room jejely.

I will also introduce a technical room downstairs for solar gadgets like batteries and inverter. Upstairs is not bad.

Square the kitchen at the back and introduce a sliding door leading to the back of the house with a back veranda (sit out) Kitchens should have exit doors. And introduce window(s) to the left wall of the kitchen. Not enough windows in the kitchen.

Biztech05:
You can create a space for V.T Maybe in the veranda area or under the staircase

So sorry.
You know am a public servant.

Unfortunately no, my Lagos contacts are unreliable

Fadelex:
It can still be recalled before production, all they had to do is ticket the file and iris will work on it to do the correction before the passport is produced. Once the passport is produced, you're looking at spending 100k to correct it and you'll have to go to Abuja on top of that

Fadelex:
They can correct it before they produce it, but once they produce it you must go to Abuja

Fadelex:
It will pop up... you'll have to do change of data in Abuja

GAZZUZZ:

Hello
I know someone selling his used Big Baby Toyota Corolla Sports 2007 for #2.5m
Very neatly used
You can see it for yourself.
Reason for sale,he just got another

Dayordee4:
If he can raise it to 3.2m, I have a 2011 corolla I'll be selling sometimes in early August. You can reachout if interested

Ps: it's firstbody and just one user. An oven bake is recommended and you're good.

9icetoo:
3m won't get him a decent naija used 2011 unless he is lucky.
3m won't get him a toks 2007 sports

Ofemmanu1:
How can a MAN with 3m looking to buy a Corolla?!

Haa!!

Anyways, Corolla sad-boys will comment later.

Henix:
If it's Golf 3 that his budget can comfortably accommodate, then let him go for it, than buying headache with his money in the name of car. Alternatively, if he can wait and make up the money for the 2011 model, let him do so. Car no dey finish for market.

Meanwhile, why must it be this overhyped and theft prone Corolla? Why not talk to him to use the same budget and get another decent car that can give him rest of mind

Ashimiuamuda:
Have you now clarify what you wanted to clarify ?

CaveAdullam:
Maybe you have an introverted personality, hence, your inability to express yourself within and outside your family circle.

Extraversion is one of the big five personality traits: Conscientiousness. Agreeableness. Neuroticism. Openness. Extraversion.

Kids high on extraversion trait are always social and friendly. Those low in extraversion are the opposites. However, for introverts, they are less narcissistic and neurotic unlike the extroverts.
Since you fall on the later side, you must endeavor to exhibit the positive side of extraversion - learn to meet new people, talk and make friends. It will not be easy for an introvert because they are able to spot that most humans are average and dumb, and it is not wise wasting time with them; extroverts simply don't care! They are the opposites.

Make your decisions and let it known. Don't fret. Be calm. Talk when necessary. Just have fun. Improve on yourself and act more masculine. And by the time you are done with all these, you'll not only make your dad proud, but you'll be transfigured into a better self.

Education in all ramifications is very sacrosanct, if parents knew about child psychology, effects of genetics and environment on every individuals, many of them would have done better in raising their children. Alas, here we are, we must help ourselves.

Thanks.

How's the written assessment like?

Tech twitter has been on fire this past few days. First was the new startup law being passed that will see the government taking one percent of startup revenue especially fintechs and the second was the closure of accounts belonging to fintech companies like risevest, investbamboo, and trove. This is just 2 months after the crypto ban.

I predicted this will happen a few months back but some people as usual called me a pessimist. Now, this has happened. They came for gokada first citing stupid reasons yet okadas are still in Lagos driving anyhow. They blocked remittances and made it very difficult to receive money. If you work remotely in Nigeria for a foreign company, you can attest to how difficult it is to receive money. I know people who have lost their jobs just because the companies they work for could not figure out how they could pay them in Nigeria then add the epileptic electricity supply and the bad internet.

If you are a programmer, trust me you are amongst the elite. Walai every day I regret not discovering the tech industry earlier. There's a fucking huge demand for programmers outside the shores of Africa. Latin America, Europe, and Asia. A lot of people think japa and will be thinking USA and Canada. Getting a work visa to these countries as a Nigerian living in Nigeria is almost impossible. It has happened for some people but its not the norm and you should not place your hope on it. The USA has a cap on the amount of work visas that go out every year and those visas most times go to OPT candidates (people who have schooled in the US). Canada doesnt have a cap but they prefer permanent residents or citizens to processing a work visa from scratch for an outsider. Australia same thing.

There are other countries that exist that do not have a cap on work visas and are desperately looking for programmers. These countries can be used as a stepping stone to your final dream destination instead of wasting your life in Nigeria looking for a US or Canadian visa. Countries like portugal, spain, brazil, mexico, vietnam, japan, south korea. The list is endless. These are countries desperately looking for programmers and their work visas arent difficult to get. Their governments are even encouraging tech migration to prepare for the next industrial revolution. As a Nigerian you have a serious advantage getting there. You speak English. English is the unofficial defacto language of the IT industry. If you go on linkedin and search tech jobs in this countries, you would find out that one of the requirements for most of these jobs is professional english proficiency. Their citizens dont have it and a few who have it are headhunted to countries like the US and Canada leaving a huge gap for skilled third worlders like Nigerians to take advantage of. A japanese programmer who speaks english really well can get into the USA easily. Japan has a visa waiver program with the USA and is one of the few countries that shares a working holiday visa with the US. Brazil has one with germany. Uruguay has with sweden. These are countries you should target because their own people are leaving presenting a very huge gap. Once you can get into these countries, leaving to your dream destination isnt too difficult and even if you dont want to leave, these countries have a lot of opportunities for you to build your own tech business. Their governments are very progressive. Their people arent poor or getting poorer and are very open to using technology. Theres another way of getting to the US via L1 company transfer but how many american tech companies exist in Nigeria and whats the size of the engineering team? These countries have as much 2000 to 3000 size engineering teams. You can move there, switch jobs to an american company and request for an L1 company transfer. The possibilities are limitless.

I myself started testing this theory out and I have gotten ten interviews from companies in Ukraine, Poland, Belarus, Vietnam, and Chile. I am in the mid way of 3 and I really hope one goes through as I want to leave the zoo fast.

You might say stay in Nigeria and start a tech business. Well with what the government is doing to startups and the purchasing power of Nigerians reducing everyday, I dont know how that would be viable. NIgeria is so bad to the point that to eat food is a problem. Growing up, Nigeria was never at a level where food will be a problem. Festival periods and we would have food from all our neighbours even the poorest. Now thas not done and the worst is yet to come.

You can say stay in Nigeria and continue remote. Trust me remote work is sweet in your 20s but a sponsorship job is better as you would be provided insurance for, pension plans and all of that which remote work wont give you and remote jobs arent stable especially with small companies. You can lose them anytime and you need to start looking again. Its not bad in your 20s but will you be doing this at 40 and above. Will you be applying to remote jobs at 50 when your mates who migrated are CTOs for fortune 500 companies earning millions of dollars every year while you are looking for scraps in remote.

Make haste o.
