Actually I use the app and can attach documents to mails

No mind my phone and English. Thanks for clarifying.

Prof Ladywriter, can't one actually use one's android phone for bidding and submitting writing works on Freelancer. com?

You can use your android phone to bid for jobs but to the best of my knowledge freelancer app for androids does not allow you attach .doc files only images.
You can always submit jobs via mail, that is if your mobile browser is optimised to attached pdf/doc files.

Op be here talking nonsense don't go and read. This technology is called RFID, meaning radio frequency identification. It can be deployed in virtually any industry and us used for tracking and monitoring assets.

It comprises of 2 parts a tag and a reader. What you explained about opening a door is simple.
An authorized user has a tag implant and the door has a reader. Once the user comes within the proximity of the door, it opens. If you are skeptical about an implant, this can be put in a remote control just like your car. However, a typical tag is smaller than a grain of rice and can easily be misplaced, hence the implant.

This is simple technology, don't complicate things for yourself and put fear in the heart of others. Finally, I am a Christian and I believe in Jesus. I believe he will come again, but this is not 666.

I am not affiliated to any party. It is however obvious that Buhari had Nigeria at heart but went about tackling national issues the wrong way.

I suspect he believed scape goats from the "war against indiscipline" would serve as a check on citizens. However, it was abused by those at the corridors of power.

Propaganda aside, I believe Buhari will do well. My fear is the wide spread corruption in virtually every sector. What happens when he starts stepping on toes? What happens when Nigerians do not see the change they anticipated in a short time?

Jonathan on the contrary has equally done well, although on a slow pace. Reforms in the transport and agricultural sectors are plausible.

The bottom line is that government need to effectively communicate with the masses. Do not just make laws, explain why so that even the layman would understand.

In conclusion, corruption starts with you. From trying to jump the queue, to not paying your nepa bill and taxes, inflating the standard price of a contract to earn twice as much, cheating a buyer, amongst others.
Change should start from us and not them. It is said that a leader is a true representation of what the people deserve.

People are really somehow. Obviously he was asking for fees for the academy. You usually pay for registration. Or something there about.

I just had to comment. It's so not fair. Read the convo well.

Wow, an entirely different perspective. Nice.

I am not affiliated to any political party - for me the seat of leadership is there for someone to serve us and make changes. I chose to be silent and let all political talks go unquestioned but it is pertinent that I ask some questions at this point.

We say we want change. Ask yourself: "will our politicians choose to become governors and presidents if there was nothing attached to it?" If the answer is no, it will be right to assume that our politicians are greedy and running stomach infrastructure.

I smile when I hear people say Buhari and Jonathan are not fit for the position. The argument is that they have to choose between the lesser evil or apparently the greater good. How many of know the names of other presidential candidates? I bet 80% of Nigerians do not know. To us the battle is between APC and PDP and every other party is irrelevant. How can it be that we seek change but we do not give cognisance to other candidates irrespective of their ability or inability?

The recent trend of e-battles, burning of cars, and open expression of anger even amongst friends is alarming. Will these men you fight for fight for you? Will they be willing to lay down their lives that you live? At the very least will they exchange their comfort with you so that you will have a taste of luxury for just one day?

The reality is that the average Nigerian man is gullible. We are quick to jump on the band wagon without asking questions. We all voted for Jonathan because we thought he will bring us Goodluck. Here we are again, singing the song of Buhari hoping he will come with a wind of change.

It is time to really choose our leaders - men of integrity without blemish. Leaders who will wield the sword and be willing to die before any Nigerian, not people imposed on us by an incumbent government or a party.

You guys are ridiculously pathetic.
You rejoice when illegal acts are perpetrated by the opponent party, swift to point accusing fingers.

Poverty exceeds the absence of wealth or riches. Poverty is in your reasoning, your attitude, and your actions. You can't be reasoning like a common man and expect results.

Ask yourself. How many rich men have you seen burning houses and cars? How many rich men have you seen insulting themselves because of the triviality of politics? The reality is that you will be the one to curse, you will be the one to fight, and you will be the one to die. The looting will continue.

If we demand justice and flawless governance, it should be from those already in power. You sit at the comfort of your room pointing fingers and saying GEJ is not working. If there was a protest would you have participated?

We shouldn't kill ourselves over who wins but rather we should collect our PVC and vote for who we want with the hope that there is no rigging.

There is a freelancer app on Playstore. You can sign up using it. However, you will be limited to bidding and posting jobs, as well as receiving notifications from clients.

I recommend you sign up and edit your profile on a system and use your android on the go.

For the benefit of those asking about Glo bis, I want to believe you are using an android phone. If you are using a blackberry, you can easily host via hotspot.

For android users, you'll need to change your IMEI number. The downside of this is that your phone may become bricked (this means you won't be able to browse again), you also lose your warranty. So it's a choice between risking it or playing safe.

You will need to download an IMEI generator on your laptop to generate the code. Afterwards, download mobileuncle tools from playstore. And tweak some settings.

I recommend you search google for more details. Thanks.

I need advice on this please because I believe that this amount is below my capacity. pls help a frnd here.

Hello Mr Sample, it is indeed low. Considering the amount of words you should have at least $250 - $300.

Happy New Year to everyone here.

Where are they hiding? The only one I bided for didn't work out. Client wanted samples.

Make una show me the way o.

ladywriter:
You can start with research jobs. It doesn't take time and the payment is good. Regard your questions on payment verification, try your UBA Africard VisaCard and see if it works. Yes, there are commissions on each project your accept to handle. Check out the FAQ section of the website for more information. Complete your profile before you start bidding for jobs. All the best!

Ladywriter still searching for those research jobs that pay good and don't take time oh. Where are they hiding, bico?

Tough situation. If you are positive in both sides, get bank collateral

can u pks send the money 1st after Xmas I teach u!

Adewale what's your brand of weed? You are hilarious man.

In such a situation, ask yourself pertinent questions such as how long have you known these suppliers? Is this the first time buying from them?

Do they have a website? Read their reviews. Since compromise is not coming from the school, get a lawyer and tackle the supplier.

YoungExec:
Kindly note that I seek ideas:
I'm in the middle of a deal with a federal institution to supply ICT equipment. Due to the nature of the transaction, these equipment have to be setup prior to delivery and the supplier insists that they must get full payment before they release the kits as they can't risk allowing them to be opened and setup without being sure of getting paid.
On the other hand, my client (the federal institution) has a policy of paying on delivery due to the uniqueness of the Nigerian business environment. Though I've explained that since the equipment need to be unsealed and setup prior to delivery, it would be impossible to accept their terms. They have however insisted.
This is the problem.
Supplier (a U.S. Tech Firm) won't release without payment as they are afraid that once their goods are unsealed and setup they risk huge losses if the insitution fails to honor its payment obligation.
Client won't pay in advance as they have a laid down policy against such due to past negative experiences with suppliers.

I spoke to my bankers and they advised using a third party such as themselves to provide comfort to all parties. My bank suggested they do me a BG (Bank Guarantee) to my client assuring them that they will get their order if they go ahead and pay me and the client has accepted that.
Hence essentially, if the bank issues the BG on my behalf, client then pays in full prior to delivery and funds are available to acquire from supplier via full payment. Equipment are then setup and delivered to the client and transaction is complete.

However, the issue now is that the bank is asking for collateral to the tune of the amount to be paid by the client in order to issue the BG and because of the volume of the transaction, I cannot provide the cash reserve needed as collat.

I'm looking therefore for a third party who will be willing to invest benchmark funding that will yield a profit in a 1 month maximum period. If anyone has tips on how I could do this differently, do tell.
I've reviewed using APG, LPO etc but the cost will eat deep into my margins. Hence BG is the cheapest for me and will cost just 1% of transaction worth.

To give you an idea, the institution is ordering over 2000 kits and each kit costs about 300k. However, I'm considering breaking into batches of 100.
Essentially, I'm offering 7% yield on a 1 month investment of 30 million.

Urgent tips, feedback etc appreciated. As you've guessed, I'm an SME trying to make it in the harsh Nigerian business environment.

Instead of using a BG, what's the possibility and cost of using your lawyers? Come up with a document that each party would sign.

Pineapple(Ananas comusus) which is an edible fruit with local variety appearing to be big an often refered to as family size hence an individual can't consume it at a go also d pqarice make pple to buy less of it WHILE on d other hand is this breed from our neighbouring country(togo,benin republic) are small in size n can b finished by one person but d taste is not as good as our own hence the need to make our breed smaller in size. Your views are welcome!

Can't refrigeration fix it?

Op nice thread. Sunset at Ibadan, taken with my Gionee M2

Op just curious, how much does your machine cost?
I watch a documentary some 2 years ago about 3D printing and testing of a plastic gun. Although the damage is negligible in comparison with metal, it can still kill.

Finally, in determining tensile, compressor, and torsional strength. I think that can be simulated on Solidworks or any other CAD software. At what point does the 3D printer come in?

Fee years ago people believed that issues such as suicide bombings and suicide can never be part of the Nigerian society. I remember watching the news and saying to myself "all this oyibo people sabi mumu, this kind thing to fit happen for 9ja".

Fast forward a couple of years later and hardly does a day go by without news on insurgence and bombings.

Now what is there to learn? Preparation is all there is. Forecasting means "foresee" and "prepare to act". Boko Haram got to this point because we didn't foresee. We buried our heads in the pretence that Africans generally value their lives. Because we didn't foresee, our actions to an extent are ineffective.

Bring this to business. Businesses invest a lot in attempting to predict future marketing conditions. And in most cases, those that stood the test of time predicted rightly.
Physics teaches that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. The effects may be now or reaped in the future. However, there must be an effect.

Remove sentiments, remove God (God is a constant - what you sow you will reap. He gives direction too), attempt to predict future marketing needs and conditions and plan and take necessary steps.

Just an opinion.
