InvestmentBeware Of This Loan App ( 9ja Cash )...... I Just Fall A Victim Of Thier Scams. by fnep2smooth(op): 6:04pm On Jan 06, 2022
I wish to air my view about this loan app. I will advise everyone to be careful because you may be desperate to take that loan hoping to clear it within days but sh##t happens that you didn't expect. I took a loan from this app 9Ja Cash 8,000 naira to pay 12,800 within 2weeks around the first week of December 2021. after 2 weeks of the said date I discovered that my loan will start counting 120 per day, when it's not stated on the app.

They started calling, threatening me, the next thing they started messaging my contact on WhatsApp. Since there is daily interest why are they calling, they deducted 7,000 from my account and my balance with them is less than 7000. I then took out time to go back to the google play store to check their review, I found out that they buy rating and the people who comment does that with fake name with what they are saying not relating to the services the app is rendering.


I will pay then their balance when I get the money. But guys be careful. I just fall a victim
my fear be says they have my BVN, ATM Details, and my PIN, with this kind of attitude can I trust them with my bank details

CareerRe: "How To" - Find A Remote, Well-paid Job In IT by fnep2smooth(m): 5:39pm On Dec 20, 2021
OAra:
Given that some people asked me how should one go about to find a well-paid IT job, I wanted to put down some of my experiences and thoughts, so that it might be of use to you all

Preface - I am not Nigerian but Italian, so my experience in this field might differ from yours, but given that I work remotely for foreign (Western) companies, I feel that at least some of what I write will apply.

I - What to learn, aka finding a niche
I don't mean it in an entrepreneurial sense, but in a literal sense: you need to choose what you wish to specialize in.

Make use of websites that are commonly used in the West when looking for work - examples could be Linkedin, TheLocal, Monsters, Indeed, etc - and apply the filters that apply to your wishes. For example, in this case we'd apply the "remote job" filter (however it is written on the website you've chosen), and then whichever filter related to salary/etc you want to.

Once you have done so, make a list of job ads - you need to find out what are the most in-demand skills that you think you could learn.

Once you have a list of 2-3 skills - which could be anything, from a SAP module to a programming language (Javascript, C++, etc) or even other things such as web design -, you need to seriously sit down and think what you could learn.

II - Where to learn
Websites such as Youtube, or Linkedin, are your best friend here.

I spent a good month and half trying to learn what I could from Youtube tutorials and other specialized websites before sending my application for a "boot camp" for SAP. If you wish to learn how to program, there many good websites that are also free (e.g. if you wished to learn PHP, you could use https://phptherightway.com/ - found within a few minutes of googling "how to learn php" ) .

III - How to stand out from the competition
Once you have a solid base, you need I'd check if you can earn a certification to distinguish yourself from your competition.

This depends heavily on the field you've chosen - for example the multinational SAP offers certifications on its own, whereas if you chose web design, you could try to put up some websites that you could then link on your CV (to serve as proof of your skills); if you chose to learn a programming language, I'd advise to simply throw anything you programmed on a free-hosting website such as GitHub (and use that as proof of competence).

Again: your goal is now to stand out.

Bits of advice that could be useful in this regard, drawn from my own experience:
a) Make sure to list all relevant work experiences you have. This seems obvious but make sure to follow it - you never know what might catch the eye of a recruiter
b) Make sure your CV is never longer than 1 page.
c) Remember this is a numbers game, so send your cv around, but remember that this is also a matter of targeting the correct company. If you are an aspiring programmer and you send your cv to a cleaning company, they ain't hiring you, simple as. If you learnt programming, send your cv to IT companies that deal in programming, for example.

IV - I got the job interview, now what?
If you managed to land an interview with a company for a remote job, congratulations. Sincerely.

Now comes the hard part - to make a good first impression. European work ethics is different from American work ethic, remember that - we are more relaxed, but also more "on point". Don't try to sugarcoat or sweet talk your way through the interview - you are applying for a technical job, where your know-how matters much more than your personality.

Be polite, be punctual, be on point.

That simple.

Notes on salary: working remotely will likely require you to maintain a flexible sleeping schedule, which could conflict with your usual day-by-day schedule. Having said that the average Nigerian salary, as given by google, is 339 000 NGN. The average IT salary in Europe, at least in my field after 4 years, ranges from 1,852,266.15 NGN (4000 Euro)/month in Germany to 2/3 of that in Italy, and over 6000 in Sweden.

You will be offered less than that. Due to you working from abroad, the companies will be able to get away with it. Having said that, even a quite low salary / entry-level salary (1500 Euro - 694 599.81 NGN) will likely be compensated by the lower cost of living compared to Europe.

Let me make this clear - it will take a lot of efforts to find remote work abroad without migrating, but I know from experience that it can be done given my current employer is an American company.

Feel free to ask questions, I'll answer if I know the answer.

Do you understand what the op said? Why are Nairaland boys acting like they no all. You build website according to the client budget. I gave my qoute and I expect you to do same. Why are you so obsessed. Some Pakistan do website for 20$ to 50$ and you are here talking nonsense.... How old are you self?

Why are some programmers this stupid? You'll build a functional e-commerce site with domain name and hosting for 40k?!! You dey craze? How much is a dollar to naira? Now convert 40k to dollars. Kai. Some people have poverty mentality built in their DNA.
Go on Fiverr and see what India and Pakistan are charging. 40k is about 70$ which is cool for a small e-commerce website. What's your problem.
