Recently CBN through the banks circulated emails regarding commencement of cashless policy in some states.
Nigerians reacted on Twitter about this new policy and its effect on the masses. Other bodies of the government also reacted but the truth is that we have not passed the right message.
My personal opinion, the cashless policy is good. Even before enforcing this policy, I have benefited from the opportunity offered by new way of banking /banking transactions and same for every Nigerian.

Easy access to funds
Transfer to other accounts
Purchases via POS
Online transactions
… and many more

The only issue with this policy, is that it is one sided.
Our reaction should focus on making a balanced policy that will favor both the bank and the people.

The other side of the cashless policy should state.
1) If banking transaction via any electronic means fails, and causes a debit without immediate reversal of the same amount to the payer’s account, the payer should be paid total amount of the failed transaction plus 3% of the total amount multiplied by the number of days the total amount was withheld by the transaction company. i.e. (0.03*total amount) * days taken to return the failed transaction to the payer.
2) Inter-bank ATM usage should be free, not limited to only a few transactions.
3) Banks should mandate all hers customers to setup unique account for electronic transactions, separate from their main account. Customers can only do intra-account transaction on their main accounts. This will help secure customers’ accounts in-case of fraud.

I strongly agree with the op as freelancing the way to reduce unemployment in Nigeria.
If a lot of people can be trained on how to offer digital services, the rate of unemployment will be reduced drastically.
I've registered on Fiverr for some time now, but I haven't gotten any sale.

javaRookie:
You mean you cant download the videos for offline view? Did they issue certificates?

The videos are downloadable....
If you watch online, Laracast keeps the record for you, and accumulates the points..
Although the main focus is to learn, but having the right to comment on the completed videos etc is also important.

About Certificate, they do not issue certificate, unless they started it newly...

Since i started web programming no company have ever asked for my certificate......lol

You will make sale,
My other account actually lasted up to 3-4 weeks before first sale...

javaRookie:
Nice. Thanks man. How did you get Laravel videos. From start to finish. I want a good video with high quality. Can you recommend some?

About Laravel Training Videos.
My First year with laravel, i registered at Laracast, the price then was around $84 or so but now it is $99/year...
The video quality is very OK but only issue is data/internet speed. Internet speed here is worrisome..
If you have very good internet speed, you will enjoy it..

javaRookie:
bro which niche do you base? Also how often are request submited by buyers in the buyer request with respect to the niche you'd mention?
I havent got a single sale since o. My profile name is nicolesmokes. Also how do you make your gig rank high. I have tried virtually everything i can. Also what niche is the most indemand. I have some basic skills of graphic designing, writing, transcription, whiteboard anime, song writing, audio editing, podcast mixing e.t.c which do you recommend i go indept?

My Niche: I'm into programming, Laravel web application development, wordpress plugins etc...

There are a few information i would like to pass...

1) You can create about 3 gigs one each for three of your best services....
2) Fiverr is a global freelance website, and top buyers are usually from developed countries..
Most of the buyers are looking for ways to improve the quality of their services and make sales, you can capitalize on this.....
3) Buyers search for sellers that are currently online because they may want to make more inquiry about your services etc So you may need to adjust your time schedules, login and stay online late in the night (if you are in Nigeria) to get buyers from Australia, USA and other countries with wide difference in time zone..

4) Buyers look for sellers with good rating and nice comments...
You can deliver quality service to your first customers to get best rating and you continue from there ....


More points to come....

javaRookie:
audio/podcast editing nko? The graphics niche is highly saturated up to 20 pages.

I don't really know how well other categories are doing but i know in all categories there are top rated sellers...
The first step is to be very good at what you do, being good will help you retain customers...
When you retain customers with good rating, you will get more customers...
And you will surely climb to the top...


Hint: Ensure you offer services you love .... do not just offer services just because it is highly profitable...

snrman:
Please how can i go about this cus am interested

Learn any digital skill like graphics design, Marketing, web programming etc...
Learn the one you like most....

(i'm into web programming...)

If you already have a skill, i would advice you open an account on Fiverr or any other freelance website...

I broke my record in Fiverr, earned over $X,656 in the February… Then I started thinking fast….
Freelance can be the automate solution to unemployment in Nigeria. On several occasions I have read articles on diversification of economy, but most of the articles are always pointing to agriculture as if agriculture is the only way out…
Information technology, teaching and mentoring young Nigerians to sell digital services through the internet can reduce the rate of unemployment and also boost the economy..
e.g if 1000 Nigerians each earn $1000 per month through online based services, that’s $1,000,000 (1 million USD )added to the economy each month.
100,000 Nigerians = $100, 000,000 every month..etc

Only if our government can think in this way, create enabling environment, and engage in training etc, unemployment will reduce…

Exactly 4years today. My ex wife burnt all my documents: all certificates, receipts, every important document at my possession at that time....


When I saw this post I was like......

wakabobo:
A Nigerian Photographer has expressed her views on church wedding, in her words

"Church wedding is not compulsory ooo. It's fine if you do it if you love the glamour and the whole experience of a church wedding. It is not a sin to do church wedding. In fact, it is an opportunity to have your brother's and sisters in church celebrate a great day in your life.

Now, it is also not a sin to not do church wedding. It was not commanded by God. No Apostle mentioned it. Jesus did not recommended it. It's just one of those things the church decided to start doing.
It means that if you do not like the drama around Church weddings, you may opt out. If you do not have the financial strength, you may drop it. Don't make life harder on yourself.

That established, the bible fully acknowledges a marriage between a man and his wife in the presence of family, friends and well wishers. The pastor may be invited to join them and pray for them. Also, the marriage needs to be registered at the Registry with the government and that's all to give it legal backing.

Don't kill yourself over what God did not send you. Do what you can do and move on. What the Bible disapproves is cohabitation and sexual relations outside marriage."

What do you guys think?

wooh u spoke mind.... We need to return Africa to Africans

Development is in progress

http://shamelist.org.ng/

While the project is in progress, lets keep watch on this thread...

braine:
This is good. It's short. Please let us know if you need assistance. I can help with some graphics if you need help with that.

This is a great idea and I am completely in.

We need logo. Can you work on that....

Domain is ready...

Incredibleme:
Why not use nodes.js? I think it has a larger bandwidth

Thanks for your suggestion...

bb6xt:
This repository is private. I recommend making it public so that more people can contribute. Any particular reason for picking bitbucket over github?

The main reason for picking bitbucket, is because of the private feature which is available by default.
We can decide to make it private and allow contributors post their username before they can be added to the project...

I suggest Laravel for the project...

Expecting more input in support /against..

ShameList Project development Draft

Basically the program flow will be like this

There will be “complainant”

Complainants are those who add new suspect/candidate. Apart from adding candidates, they also open new cases. Anybody (Nigerian/non-Nigerian) can be a complainant.

Voters (Any Nigerian)
Voters will vote on “cases” with documents(photos, texts,videos,links etc) in support /against listing a candidate on the shame list.
All votes will be publicly available in “Joe Doe” names

Vetter
They will review the publicly available data
Their Identity will not be publicly available....
Note: There are Nigerians that have never been to Nigeria but hates what is happening in Nigeria. When facts are presented to these individual they will review and make appropriate input.
Since the votes and supporting verifiable documents are publicly available it will be almost impossible for their vetting to be partial.


Candidates/suspects profile will be like this

Names
Gender
Birth place and date
Educational timeline (from nursery to .....)
Work timeline
Cases : With votes

Etc

Repository started

We need to start git project, and seek for contributors...

I support this. List corrupt politicians, down to the ward level sef.

Let's start with a befitting domain name.

Thanks for your contribution
Shamelist.org.ng
shamelist.ng

I'm so concerned that I won't mind getting these domains today

Over 50years of independence, mixed with military and democratic government, there has never been true voice of the masses on political/socio-economic development of the country.
Nigerian issues are totally caused by the corrupt political class, where same individuals keep repeating and representing political interest of over 180 million Nigerians.
How do we stop same group of corrupt folks from hijacking the political system? How do we represent the voice of the masses, the voice of average Nigerian, the civil servants, the poor artisans, the students in striking universities, the traders, the NGOs with interest of the masses, etc
Suddenly an idea came to mind (Why can't we have shamelist)
What's ShameList

ShameList is list of all corrupt Nigerians that will never hold any political office or head any organization either by election or appointment.
Generating ShameList

Each name on the list will have verifiable information collectively posted by both citizens and non-citizens of Nigerian. The information will be vetted by an online group before being posted on public domain....
Purpose of ShameList

Shamelist will be consulted by national and international bodies when making political /developmental decisions that concerns Nigeria.
INEC and other related bodies will make reference from this list before making their decision.
Availability of ShameList

ShameList will be a web application, developed by Nigerians, hosted offshore.
Note
I'm actually a concerned Nigerian, and I believe there are people in this forum that cares about Nigeria.
I need constructive critics.... How can this fly...
