God will bless you my brother. He came to my office and brought tecno poviour 4 (lc8) to replace the board which I did and the panel didn’t work properly. He returned the phone and the panel that I should refund him. The panel was returned to where I bough it and uptill now have not gotten my money back coz I was told expect I will use it to collect another thing. Fourtnate25 paid 20k for the panel and have personally refunded him 17k which I have 3k to balance him. He called me yesterday and I told him I don’t have 3k yet and he said he will surprise me. Only for me to see this post . Pls niralander help judge this matter.

Auskyd:
Bro.

Why not try to tell the house what happened calmly, and see how you can resolve matters without having to threaten him in this manner?

Not saying he did not do anything, but I'm sure some people here could prevail upon him to settle things with you amicably.

Technology being the forefront of this country’s advancement, another thing worth noting is that, aside the government, the people in this country, are constantly working and thinking of ways to improve their lives, they are constantly thinking of solutions to their problems, and they’ve seen that tech has a lot of solutions to their problems so they’ve chasing all tech ideas with alacrity.. and I think this is one thing we should learn as African, it’s time for us to leave religion and tribalism and start looking for ways to better our lives we have so many problems and for been honest, technology would solve 90 percent of our problems, and in turn it would turn so many young minds into millionaires also, all the government has to do for us is give us stable light, and a lot of things would fall in place, we don’t need to rely on the government for so many things, just give us stable electricity and enabling environment.. that’s all we ask for..

The effect of yahoo-yahoo on law abiding Nigerians in America...

1. Around October 8th, I tried to buy a laptop from the US and send it to my cousin for programming practice, the wahala too much:

i. Picker/Shipper will not accept $USD bank transfer though we are both in the U.S
ii. I'll have to pay the cost in Naira to a Nigerian biz account
iii. Shipper will then convert the Naira back to $ through their own method
iv. The exchange rate is N590 to $1

Meaning, it will cost higher than what it should have cost for a direct $ transaction but the fear of illegitimate money transfer and the associated problems with law enforcement makes everyone wary of accepting USD in America.
Even me no deh accept anyhow transfers.


2. In an earlier trial, I tried using a different shipper to send two phones as gifts to Nigeria; circa August 19th was the delivery date to the shipper.
Shipment was held by the U.S Customs, they have to screen and verify yahoo-yahoo electronics are not part of the entire shipment....

I don tire.

If you think criminality has no effect on you, think again.

Alright bro taught of that too. But my fear is that it won't work. Do you know anyone who this have worked for maybe I can get guidance from them or did this work for you please?

MackyNaija:
You are very right! The plan was to chase the same salary I was earning in California or slightly less but it happened way better than anticipated.
Truthfully, I got "lucky"!
***WHERE luck = "opportunity" + "preparedness"

Gist deh:
First stage: HR Questionnaire with over 10 questions on why I am looking for a new job and how my experience fits into each of the job requirements. (very easy, no pressure)

Second stage: Hiring Manager
Asked behavioural and general questions + one rugged brain teaser about light bulb and switches (my head wan catch fire) She gave me a hint and I answered the question. (relaxed $ easy)

Third and Fourth stage - Technical, Wednesday and Thursday: Senior QE (about 8 yrs experience) and Principal QE (about 25 yrs experience).
The 4th stage was more relaxed! Person wey go give you job no go stress you! (normal difficulty for both). I knew that if I passed this stage, I'd get the job.

Up till this point, I was interviewing for the Senior QE role.
The decision to assign you to the Senior or Principal role would depend on your ability - Na then I sense say hot pepper deh wait for me for front.

Fifth/Final stage: Senior Quality Manager and Director of Quality...
I was called on Friday morning around 10 am by the manager to see if I could fix the last video interview for the same day...

***I had previously learned on Nairaland that when an Amer1can asks you "Can you get this report ready before close of work?" (No be question them deh ask you), it actually means "I need this report ready BY the close of work".***

...the Director wanted to go on leave and he'd like to conclude the interview if I was available and the Hiring manager said "you cannot prepare for an interview like this so moving it to prep will not help you, its either you know it or you don't".... Na so our two burst laugh!

The interview: Case Study (very high pressure)
The package holding the question and spreadsheet was sent 10 minutes before the interview (Nothing like take-home presentation). Here, nobody can save you, if you no know am, you no know am and you die well.

It was an excel sheet of data that had to be analyzed: Chai! My bread and butter! Same shi I have been doing almost every day and at a minimum thrice weekly for the last 24 months!!!!!

**I started.. shared my screen and had to say my thoughts aloud so they could access my problem-solving/data analysis skills... Na this kind thing I deh like, interview to separate wheat from chaff. Test of true ability.

In 30 minutes I was done with the analysis and summarized my findings which I sent as a mock email to a VP.

Kai! I struggled to hold back tears of joy on the video call as I knew I had blasted it!

The Director said Excellent! They had used this same data for multiple people and no one had ever analyzed it like this.
Oboy! Cold catch me... That was when I realised the position of Principal Engineer was looking possible.
Principal level is a role that requires 8 to 12 years of pure QE experience but I had dismantled it at roughly 7 total years of experience, - less than 3 as a QE!!!

When I hear the salary on Monday morning as HR call... my brain jam! Wayyyy over $100k. If you know how much G-wagon be, na around that amount be the salary or solve the math below.
If G-wagon = $x , 'Hammer' Factor, Y = 0.95 to 1.15 and Macky's salary, Z = $x * Y
Find Z [abeg forgive my nonsense equation, na over happiness cause am]
I don hammer for this country! An amount I never thought I could earn as an annual rate in my entire career as an Engineer here.
Words cannot express the joy!


The future is bright. We are overjoyed! Paccus, manage this pishure!
Cali Gas price na $4.69, Texas Gas price na $2.49.... Everything go deh on sale for Texas!!!
