Pls, Have you gotten any job through the platform since you joined
Got N7k for a Saturday job 2 weeks ago. That's the only reasonable job and the only reasonable job offer I've gotten on the site.

Since then, I've gotten 3 job offers there but the pay offered were insulting. 2 of them offered N5k for working Saturday AND Sunday. I can't remember the pay the 3rd one offered, but I don't think it was sufficient, else I would have accepted it.

Hello, pls can u help me sign up hapneen.
I tried to register but they insist i invite 7 friends of mine
Is there any way out sir?
I believe they ask new users to get recommended by their friends & acquaintances, maybe so as to enable only serious people join them, I don't know.

I too needed to get a couple of friends to recommend me before i could join.

Just came from a post needing your qualification at Lekki
Thanks bro, pls can you dm the details of the job to me, and is it weekend only. I work as a teacher during the week, so for now I would prefer a weekend job, except if the salary is high enough for me to leave my current job.

Thanks in advance

Is there any other website like hapneen where I can get weekend jobs?

I'm a member of Hapneen but the pay offered to OND holders by employers there is a bit too low (N5k to N7k per weekend).

Pls is there any other website just for weekend jobs where an OND holder (OND in Food Science from Yabatech) can get job offers of N9k & above per weekend? Pls kindly share. Thanks and God bless as you help a brother.
HealthRe: Heart Attacks And Hemorrhagic Strokes: Do Nigerians Survive These Attacks? by itoroakban:
I'm logging into Nairaland for the first time in 3 years to reply to this post, because this one hits close to home, my mother had an hemorragic stroke in early September, and it's by the Grace of Google that she survived.

Mum's stroke occurred on the morning of September 6, she suddenly started complaining of intense headache, and for the first 10 minutes my younger sister and I were confused not knowing what to do. It was only after quickly googling for the cause of sudden intense headache that I saw that 'Thunderclap Headaches' were one of the major symptoms of Hemorragic Stroke.

We rushed her to a nearby hospital, where they checked her bp and found it was 190 over something (can't really remember the specific figure). She was in a coma for 3 days, then in a minimally conscious state for 2+ weeks where she was conscious but couldn't move any part of her body.

She started recovering in early October, and Physically she's now fully recovered, but memory wise, my heart breaks every day. The stroke led to my wonderful, funny, witty, joke-telling mother losing a major portion of her memories prior to the Stroke, and completely losing the ability to form new memories. She can cook, do things around the house, and hold a basic conversation, but whatever she does in the morning, she forgets by evening, and during the evenings her condition worsens. She wakes up after an afternoon nap thinking it's early in thr morning, brushes more than 4 times a day because she's forgotten that she has already brushed, and lots of other minor heart-wrenching issues.

And to be honest, all this is my fault. After mum was diagnosed of high blood pressure in 2018, I should have bought a bp checking machine for her to use in checking her bp every morning, so as to know whether or not to take a blood pressure reducing drug, but foolishly the thought never crossed my mind.

So I'm begging everyone who reads this, please and please, PLEASE, don't be as stupid as I was, if a loved one has high blood pressure, please either get a bp machine for her to check her blood pressure every morning and ask a pharmacist/doctor for bp medications she can be taking regularly, or at the very least take her to a nearby pharmacy every week to check her bp. If you're too busy, beg someone close to you to be doing it. Because if the loved one gets a Hemorragic stroke in Nigeria today, whether she recovers or not, you've lost her.

It's been more than 3 months, and I consider myself a very strong hearted person, but every 2 or 3 days, I look at mum, and I break down in tears.
