funnyDM: @bolded, Quoted to keep the post for others that may want to read it in case you delete it. Though personally I think it's just a load of bullshit and motivational hot air being blown, rather than practical ideas. But still, keeping it here in case someone finds it useful. Though I doubt. 2 Likes 1 Share |

fadamay: It's part of what you'll learn as you proceed. You can start with what you have, since you already have a laptop, then when software are recommended in the course of your learning that require specs higher than your laptop, you can then consider upgrading your laptop or upgrading individual components. Bottom line is to start learning it ASAP, so you don't allow getting a better laptop to delay you. |

fadamay:Youtube, for free. Skillshare, for courses you can learn with a cheap paid subscription. You can check out Ali Abdaal's video editing course on Skillshare. And I think the first month or first 2 weeks is a free trial, so if you're fast, you might be able to learn it for free in that free trial period. |

k2fresh: Go to bank and get a dollar card. GTB offers a dollar mastercard or Visa card, just got mine though I haven't used it yet, and I think most banks do. For some of them, you'll need to open a domiciliary account to get the card, like GTB. And then you'll fund the card from your dom account, as they link the account to the card. But I think some other banks may not require a dom account. Like UBA used to have UBA Africard that didn't require you to have a dom account, you simply fund it with dollars across the counter. But I don't know if they still have it. You can go into a UBA bank and ask. I guess a few other banks may have similar products that do not require having a domiciliary account to get a dollar card. Just pop into a few banks and make enquiries for their dollar card options, I've given you a few examples above. |

megamindmaster: How do you withdraw your money from Wise as a Nigerian living in Nigeria? What are the options to get money paid into your Wise account, into your hands in Nigeria? Cos I believe since they banned transactions to Nigeria, you can't withdraw to any Nigerian bank, whether with a regular bank account or a domiciliary account. So how do you get your money out of Wise? |

Sports / Re: MTN DATA-FREE PIPUL TV by DonX001: 12:46pm On Aug 02, 2021 |
PiperPP: Ok, thanks for the clarification. So for TV, how much does the Pipul TV set top box cost? And is that cost a one-time fee or there are recurring payments for the box in addition to the regular monthly sim card subscription. (Just asking to be clear as I cannot assume anything.) Also does the Tv box work with all mainstream brands of TV (LG, Samsung, Sony, etc) as long as it has a HDMI port, or there are specific brands and models of TV it works with. |
Sports / Re: MTN DATA-FREE PIPUL TV by DonX001: 12:33pm On Aug 02, 2021 |
PiperPP:So how exactly is this used? You've basically just being saying come and get some without describing how it's used after the sim is gotten. For phones, is it just slot the sim card into phones and download the app and that's all? What of for TVs, how is it used on TVs? Cos I'm not aware you can slot sim cards into most TVs. Or is it just for use on mobile phones and tablets alone? |

Hi Bukasint, this is a quiet section of Nairaland almost nobody comes to. Drop your phone number or email here let's talk off Nairaland (my PM email isn't working). Mention me so I know when you've dropped it, and once I've noted it you modify your post and take the number off. |

zabimaru: Lol, this is just it! You got it 100%. For me, once I see they want to start that their scam small talk, that's the exact moment I'll come and plant my eyes in front of the meter and make it very obvious to them. Most times, the guy that was forming friendly will just keep quiet and start selling fuel....no more fake friendliness, lol. I learnt from experience once, by the time I realized I had already gone far and couldn't come back cos I had a pressing appointment to meet. Since then, never again. 2 Likes |

aycorporat: Wow! Congrats for keeping it running this long, that's no mean feat. I can imagine all the challenges you've been through, e no easy o! Great you were able to diversify to include other things, that's good thinking. Well done and wish you all the best as you proceed. |
Investment / Re: Setting Up A Football View Centre In Pictures by DonX001: 7:48pm On Apr 26, 2021 |
aycorporat: Hi Aycorporat, great job on taking a bold step and documenting your steps along the way. Was an interesting read. Any current update on this? Is it still running, or was it swallowed up by the vicissitudes of running a business in Nigeria. And have you been able to recoup your initial investments? I've always been a bit skeptical about the profitability of running a viewing centre, I just think it's difficult to get the numbers to work out except in rare cases. Cos I estimate you must have put in at least 400k to set this up from your posts. And I'm wondering, if you're charging N100 per person, how many people will come to watch in a day, and how long it will take to recover your initial investment, ......since you probably won't show matches everyday but only on match days. And especially as you'll still be paying staff and paying for maintenance and other running costs like NEPA and generator. Plus other expenses like settling police or area people or any other potential taxers. And still keeping an eye to ensure your employees don't steal from you which is very likely (wonder how you can even prevent this). So it seems to me that it will be difficult to get the numbers to work out towards profitability. What has been your experience in these 3 years+ of running the place? If still running, is it profitable and how are you managing to keep it so given the above? If closed down, what led to its closing down and what are your lessons from it? Either way, I think there's a lot to be learnt from your experience. Thanks. |

How can you "gawk" yourself like that?? You're even considering it! No even think am!! That's the oldest scam in the book, even if the account is verified and as old as Methuselah with 5,000 5 star reviews, no think am at all! People can build accounts up and then use it to scam people because they've gathered credibility, happens everywhere. They just message a lot of freelancers with the same message, pack plenty money from the gullible ones, and disappear. If you go dull yourself, your money flies through the window. Report the account with evidence to the freelancer platform admin. I'm surprised people still fall for this in this day and time. Or are even considering falling for it. Imagine! 18 Likes 1 Share |
