Dear prettiest,
.
It is a good thing to decipher that prince charming if really he is husband material to avoid stumbling upon. There is this rampant saying that 'real men are difficult to find.' How true is this? Well, let's harness few things to check while choosing a male life partner, not just a male lover!
.
1. Am I a side-chick? Yes, dear ladies, you should ascertain your stance in the relationship so as to discover what really he sees you as.
.
2. What does he take me as? My dear, you might be an alternative to his boredom. Do check, check and check.
.
3. Is he ready? Is he, really? Does ...

My regrets so far are
1. Building house first as a young guy in my early 20s instead of investing in business. ( I know some people will say, building house is good , but I tell you , if you’re yet to get your own family , please expand your business first , when you get steady flow of income , it’ll be very easy to build
2. Not investing in crypto 2years ago especially shiba.
3. Wish I started trading earlier
4. Lost a big opportunity on nairaland due to anger and lack of few min patience.

I’m not using a Dom account.

It’s a standard US bank.

I sabi am boss

No be today

taaii !!! Don't say that !

It failed you because you put in money and expected quick returns, you may have also put in money that was not set aside for investment.
I was also naive in the past and made some decisions that made me loose value of my crypto investments, but I have learned a lot and now applying my experience in my decision making, mit is paying off already.

This is the time to make money in crypto with so many projects now all the prices are low. The price will only go up from here.

I can teach you 1 or 2 moves to start making profits on if only you have that spare change you can afford to loose !

I was on Upwork for six years and made more than $100k. The truth is, more than 90% of you guys reading this thread and this post will not be succesful. Upwork is not child's play, and if you do not have the skills and attention to detail required, you will not get very far.

I might sound negative, but I swore never to tell any soul about Upwork in Nigeria anymore because you guys don't have the work ethic, the resolve, and the ability to transcend the Nigerian factor. The ones I introduced to the platform never made it anywhere because they didn't put in the work. To me, Upwork is best discovered by a person rather than being told about it.

If you are going into Upwork without the right tools, equipment, and mindset -- you will fail.

If you begin working on Upwork without quickly specializing, for instance, moving from content writing to marketing automation expert; or, data entry worker to Business Analyst within your first two years on the platform, you will fail.

If you love too much sleep and detest rejection, you will fail.

If you cannot devote all of your heart and passion to become the best that you can be, you will be found out and you will get your sorry ass fired.

If you cannot rid yourself of that uniquely Nigerian ability to fashion excuses for the deferment of work, you will be let go. Your profile will tank and no one will hire you.

Damn! 'Finally caught up with y'all. 'Been one hell of a ride since page one. Thank you, brothers!

welcome to 2014
when some of us in diaspora were complaining that yahoo boys must be arrested and prosecuted and that Nigerians must not elect corrupt leaders - and those who stole from the government must be prosecuted, imprisoned and made to pay restitution- some of us here will start playing the ethnic or religious cards - downplaying these things - no wahala, everything is coming together now to explain why these companies want you to reside in their country of operation to get the job because they do not want the information of their clients to be compromised and used for fraud - and if you do it while in their country- they know their justice system works and the justice system in Nigeria doesn’t work - so they can’t trust you to be ethical or professional


so when ever you see that yahoo boy shouting “dem get money?” or dancing to bugga after successfully defrauding a maga - know that guy and his fellow criminals are the very reason you can not get customer service jobs remotely from Nigeria - they have made you look like a thief before your prospective overseas employers even though you may not have stolen one kobo in your entire life

This is the result of failed leadership that we Nigerians glorify

when the companies won’t hire you remotely - they are not taking that decision because you are Hausa, Fulani, Igbo or Yoruba

They are taking that decision because you are a NIGERIAN! Thousands of average People in India, Philippines, Vietnam, even Jamaica make at least $500 which is N350,000 a month working customer service jobs for top US companies WHY NOT NIGERIA ?

because of our culture of wealth without work (WWW) everybody won hammer - so we abuse trust and punish our prospective helpers or business partners by defrauding them- this is why Nigeria can’t fully participate in globalization- we can’t simply be trusted - and CAPITALISM and the entire WESTERN WORLD thrives on trust

you order for something - you put your credit card info and you believe the goods will be delivered as when promised - ask your self, IF your own banks can steal your money with phony transactions by disappearing your account balance - how can foreign businesses trust you ? Or you think they do not know what is happening in Nigeria? They know more than you do- that is why they have embassies here to report the situation of things to their home country chamber of commerce. You gerrit?

Enough said, good luck to you!

pocohantas:
Yes you can.

There are some that do not require you to be resident in that country. At best they ask that you have EXCELLENT written and spoken English - NO HEAVY ACCENT. Some would require you to be familiar with American English. So you know it is FAMILIARIZE not SE.

- You would also need uninterrupted power supply.

- A noise cancelling headset with microphone. Make them no hear “ekaro ologi de o” or “condemned iron…aluminium”

- Stable and backup internet connection.

- A quiet and proper workstation because your back go hear am.

- They pay entry level customer service $3/hr to $5/hr and you would work 40hrs a week or more.

- You should also be familiar with CRM and Ticketing tools. Mostly Zendesk and Freshdesk. They are things you can learn in a day on YouTube.

- For your portfolio, create a google slide of bespoke customer service responses to various situations. Mostly, DELAYED DELIVERY, MISSING ITEM, DAMAGED ITEM, REQUEST FOR REFUND…etc. These are the recurring issues in customer support for e-commerce and majority are e-commerce firms. Close it with your name. Make it look real and sell it as your sample responses while working in similar capacity for another client.

Apologies for all the epistle without mentioning where these jobs can be gotten from.

-Upwork, Fiverr, LinkedIn.
Indeed, weworkremotely.com

There are more, but I don’t know them. These ones would link you to foreign clients. The competition is very stiff and they have a preference for freelancers from the Philippines. We would talk about this bias some other day.

If you get one and they like your work ethics, they won’t let you go. That I am sure of.

People are like names written on a sea shore, they love for a while, stay together for a while, they care for a while, but just a blow of the wind, they are scattered far and wide, if they ever meet again , it will never be as it use to be. That's why, its good to cherish and treasure every beautiful moment, some things happen just once, only once in a life time. Other coming days may be huddles and troubles , those good old days will be the one that will keep u going.

Without friends? Yes. All you need, where need be, are useful and necessary acquaintances and business partners. These are not necessarily friends but they ar needed.

pansophist:
I concur. 100%.

Though, I still keep friends, but my guards are up, always. I'll hardly put myself in a situation where I'll need help from anyone, cos it at that moment people flee. By default, I see everyone as a betrayal on pending, and they will show themselves when the opportunity benefits them.

In a capitalist world, empathy, niceness, altruism, being human is a dangerous armour, and should be reserved for ones partner, ascendants, and dependants. The only people one should trust should be their parents and to some extent, their siblings.

luvyaself95:
I refuse to concur who created earth and many things inside it...
even you who created you ?

Martinez39:
It's normal. As people begin to grow and collide with reality as they leave the comfort provided by their parents, it's every man for himself. True friendship doesn't exist; every man is looking out for himself; and friends/relatives will easily throw you under the bus when it benefits them. You might be kind hearted and have helped people but they may betray and treat you like trash with ease when you are in need. It's common because human beings will be human beings. Take heart.

Take my advice, don't keep friends. Only have necessary and useful acquaintances and business partners. Stop having emotional connections with people. In a world filled with ravenous wolves, being too nice is a weakness.
