Thank you so much dear

kayc0:
Thank you so much Sir, for your input. I'm grateful!

Please stop with the sir. You can always reach out if you have any questions and I would be glad to help

kayc0:
Lol. You are please
Sorry for inconveniences. I've followed most of your posts here on nairaland. I noticed you freelance on upwork..
Please I need to get a few clarifications to that regards.

1- Do you advise using a foreign account verified and from Nigeria?
2- Any chances of it being banned while I operate it in Nigeria? Do I need to use a VPN?
3- I'd like to leverage on upwork because of numerous reasons, what are the chances of getting hired this period?
4- Do you have any niche suggestions for an amateur who wants to get started right away?

I would greatly appreciate your response Sir!

Sure. Yes, you can operate a foreign account from nigeria. You may not have to use a VPN. If you have any relative abroad that trusts you, you can use their details.

It would not be banned as long as you have the details to verify the account.

Chances are very slim now due to the virus. But you can get into the system and try your luck. Understand that you may have to spend money buying connects. Also look into fiverr, you don't have to buy connects there. I would advise you to learn a reasonable skill that's in high demand. Do not go looking for writing jobs as they are tons of writers on the platform now.

Good luck mate.

Hi Chief, please let talk briefly here.
Thanks

Hello bro...howfar man..please am no chief..

kayc0:
Hi. I've followed some few posts of yours on here. Please I need to discuss something important with you, business related. Please let me know how I can reach you.

Okay bro...quote me on a dead thread so we can talk

[quote author=Coolberry post=89556909]Emekusboy9
Please try to talk about the negative things about Ivory coast.

Keep up the lord's work. [/quote

Please emeka,

Discuss the negative stuffs there to prepare our minds.

Thank you.

emmaodet:
I believe so.
Did one around 2015 when naira to dollar disparity was much, around 70k between cbn rate and parallel rate.
A lot of guys made it then, you transfer from bank using moneygram to ghana, go to ghana for withdrawal and change the dollar in nigeria.
On average, i made 50k per $1,000 after removing transport and miscellaneous.
I can't do that any more because am too busy and too stressful to be going to accra regularly.
The present difference now between cbn #360/$1 to black market #435/1$ is big to kick start roundtripping again.
I'm too old for that now bro, no more on the street.

Please sir, how can one do this. I am interested in seizing the opportunity if you can give a little more explanation.

tarantino1:
Hey boss please answer my dm

I dont know how these dm works man

EMEKUSBOY9:
Yes it has but need to do your research and remember is French country

Hi bro,

Thanks for taking out time to share your experience with us. I am a big fan and I follow the thread keenly. You are doing well.


I want to ask man, is it possible to get the ivorian passport? Like become an Ivorian and get their own passport? Any idea how I can go about that?

HeavenlyBang:
Good man. I'm partial to Scottish Whisky, so a bottle of Glenfiddich 18 will suffice.

Noted. Il have that in mind. Thank you.

HeavenlyBang:
It's essentially a more luxurious 2009 Honda Accord. Same parts, so you're good to go.

Thank you, Il have a good look at it. When I finally get it, il bring you a good bottle wine at Awka.

KINGreignn:
go for the 05/06 unit. Avoid badly maintained units if you're looking for locally used units, if you're looking for Tokumbo, go for clean title or slightly damaged accident units. Avoid flooded or electrical or mechanically faulty units.

Thank you very much bro.

HeavenlyBang:
Before my Infiniti, I actually drove an ES330. It's a good car. Solid. Comfortable. Reliable. It's a bit outdated now, though. And rather boring to drive. I wouldn't recommend it, especially not for a fellow young man.

Have a look at a 2009 Acura TSX. The four cylinder is just as fast as the ES, drives a lot better, is rarer, has newer technology, and looks better. AMDMan has advertised a few for under 2m. Same price as the ES330.

Thank you very much.

How about maintenance and reliability? Although am not going to overkill the car because I work from home, is the parts readily available and can i locally find a good mechanic?

Pardon my questions man, Its going to be my first car.

Hi Heavenly,

I am a secret admirer and love what you are doing with your infinity. Good job man.

Please I would need your advise on the es330. I am looking at getting one as my first car and I would love you to tell me the challenges I am likely to face. I am a young guy looking for more of luxury than fuel economy and although I am financially buoyant enough, I wouldn't want a car that would turn to a burden on the long run. Please tell me, based on your experience if the Es330 is a good buy.

Hi Guys,

Thanks for your wonderful inputs so far.

[quote author=seyisanya post=85248546][/quote]Hello sir,

What are the risks of investing in eurobond? I would like to know if it's a reliable firm of investment. Please educate me.

Hello,

Please I know i shouldn't be asking this but can someone give me a rough estimate that would see me to Germany for my masters.

I am currently running my NYSC with a grand saving of 3m. I have thought about investing in Nigeria but just can't find any reliable investment in the country.

I can raise my savings before the end of my insha Allah but would love to have a target I can work towards.

Thank you as you consider my question and give me a thoughtful reply.

May Allah bless us all.

Hi guys,

I just found out that a letter was omitted in my surname at the Senate list on NYSC portal. How do I resolve this issue? Is it a big problem as I really need to register and join this batch to camp.

I got a 32 inch Samsung 2017 smart TV from the op and the delivery was smooth. Aside a few scratches, the TV is neat.

Overall,I am impressed with my purchase and would recommend the OP to any one looking for true value for money and less stress


Thank You Bro!

Fresh approved US upwork accounts for sale...contact 08098292397

unite4real:
That should be around 14.2%

Thanks.

M sure switching to stanbic in my next investment.

unite4real:
You probably got a tenor that is not up to 364 days. The interest you posted shows about 12.7% for 364 days. But since the interest rate cannot be so ripped off when 182 days closed at over 13%, I guess you should find out how many days done for you. It's obviously not 364 nor 182. I guess some 300 plus days.

Thanks bro...i made a typo error, i actually meant to type 283k.

Hi TB Fam,

Am a low key follower since last year and decided to stash 2m on TB this year.

I used my zenith account because i didnt have time to open a stanbic bank account and didnt want to waste more time.

I suscribed for 365 days tenor and the marketer said the bank will bid on my behalf.

Yesterday the 2m was debitted and i was credited with #253.853k. Can someone please help me with the calculatiins, I have tried myself but got confused midway.

Thanks

AverageAnnie:
I thought this celebrities don't wear what we wear because I have this gown she's wearing..... 7k

Nigerian celebrities are very fake!

Most of them aren't halve of what they claim to be some are even serious debtors!

You cant blame them, the society in Nigeria attaches so much relevance to material things. That's why a trash like this makes frontpage on one of the biggest platforms in Africa.

We are our own undoing in this country.
