Donpre:
when did proposals get as high as 16 connects?

Welcome to the new dispensation

CSTRR:
What is wrong with this clowns?

How many American movies require fbi permission before making scenes with FBI paraphernalia.?

They want to regulate a film industry they did not create?

Instead of this idiots to focus on political thieves.

Did you actually Google this or you just assumed that's how it works?

gr8child:
They should cite the law that prohibits it if there is any.

Impersonating law enforcement agencies is a crime, boss.

SmartPolician:
A serious government will formulate laws to encourage movie makers to use government facilities to make their movies. Yes, that's why Hollywood is where it is today. They give them helicopters, weapons, gadgets, office, and everything else they need to make films.

I don't know when we will start having a responsible government that will realize that they have a duty to create jobs and create an enabling environment for businesses to thrive.

You mean the same Hollywood where you can get sued for using FBI or CIA logos?

Those movies don't use the real seals or uniforms as it's considered impersonating a law enforcement agency.

olamilarks:
you can generate TIN with your bvn on the joint tax board website. https:// tinverification. jtb. gov. ng/

close the spaces.

This is the response I get whenever I try that.

Deypray:
As at today, it's 200k flat fee.

Okay, I think I am interested in this but I have a question.

What name will the account carry? I understand that you can't withdraw funds into a bank account that does not have the same name as your Upwork account.

I am not sure Payoneer would work either if the names do not match.

Alright, thanks

OfficialDJ:
dude, add 4 zeros to it and you'd be fine.
0000

Guys, I just saw this notification. I have tried to register for TIN before now but it failed. How do I go about this without going to any revenue office?

Amwitty:
Hello Nairaland family, I am writing to share some good news with you. I just got my first job on Upwork as a translator I did not apply o yet i was invited for the job me without any reviews o this can only be God. Thanks @qtguru! In April, I sent him a PM and he encouraged me to not give up, but to do better. I'm so thankful sir. Thank you so much to the queen herself @pocohontas, I was and still inspired by your diary story, so thank you for being so true to yourself. Please guys let me know if you have any advice for me I am ready to learn from my senior colleagues in the house. Thank you.

Congratulations, this is only the beginning.

CreamyCoffee:
. Please provide a proof that wallets africa is not a scam,I just checked, they have horrible reviews all over, I registered with them and got verified, I funded the account, but for some reason, needed to withdraw my funds back, but couldn't, customer service stopped replying, am surprised why such app is still on playstore or licensed as institution

I am sorry about your experience with them, but the last time I used it was 2022 and they worked alright.

What's the alternative?

Passionet:
Is Payoneer to geegpay still working please?

This one is working beautifully.

Passionet:
So Payoneer can send to grey now? It failed early this year. And I guess the names on both accounts must match?

I don't know oo. The last time I used them was October when they held my money for months. But they said their service is back and I assume you can now send Payoneer funds.

Uncle must be the gatekeeper of heaven

foolbuster:
Lolz. Una dey happy he came to visit Nigeria abi? What some people fail to realize is that many people are gonna lose their jobs to AI.

AI is not going to replace people. AI is only going to take jobs from people who don't learn how to use AI.

XploraBen:
This can't be free, I guess.

Be careful with people like this.

Most of them make more money teaching people how to make money than from actually doing what they teach.

Upcomingdad67:
Good day guys . I have a challenger ohhh

I have delivered a job to a client via email and has requested for payment since last week today makes it 8 days. Now he does not reply to calls or mail

Him never still approved payment , please what do I do can I still get paid ?

Is the escrow funded? If it's a fixed price contract and escrow isn't funded, you are on a long thing.

Dollywood:
OMG. I have a payday USD card already, but their dollar rate is outrageous.

I use Chipercash and the rate is #781/$

olaboyeh:
if I'm able to create a geegpay account, can i transfer directly from upwork to Geegpay?

Yes, you can.

olaboyeh:
please help

Payoneer just can't block your account without a reason. Reach out to support and know why or tell us why.

You can still create a virtual USD account with Geegpay.

dauntless15:
Another question, I am a UI and UX designer, but I have added other soft skills and currently learning fullstack development, do I include those skills in my profile or open another account entirely to offer web development services.

Upwork as a feature called "Specialized Profiles," you can open one and add your other skill. If you create another account, both will be blocked.

Michellasilva:
But can I withdraw to PayPal and still send to Grey GBP?

I don't think so.

I have tried it before and got my PayPal account blocked. I am guessing you are using a Lesotho PayPal, linking a virtual USD account to it might cause issues.

I am not sure you can link Grey's virtual card to PayPal either. If you still want to go the PayPal route, please use Wallets Africa, their virtual dollar card works well with PayPal.

Djreloaded:
it's only you Mr
Make your proposal standout.. It's not that hard of a thing is it? I've made about 4k from 1st of may to present!

Omo, what service do you render?

Double post

Ayomipoe:
Since GeegPay verification is slow for you, you can use Wise.

Caveat, Upwork to Wise is slow. When I withdraw on Fridays to Wise, if I don't receive my money by Tuesday, I don't panic, I simply grumble.

That said, Wise also does not send to Naira, it can send to your DOM account, but I have no idea how long that will take (never tried it). This leaves you with sending GBP to your Grey account.
Noones is the successor for Paxful which was closed down. You can use it to p2p, by using Wise to buy USDT on the platform, then selling the USDT for NGN. Sounds complicated, but it can be done in about 20 mins. Ignore all those that say stuff like they buy Wise funds and others, you'll most likely fall victim to fraud before finding someone honest, especially when you can do it yourself.

As for the rates, you can see it in the images attached
$100 USD to USDT == 96.179093 USDT
96.179093 USDT == 71127.33 NGN

Omo, this process long o.

Michellasilva:
Please can you explain better? And what’s the conversion rate?

I think a simpler alternative would be to use Payoneer.

Withdraw USD from Upwork to Payoneer and send that USD to your Grey GBP account (Payoneer will convert the funds for you)

It's pretty straight forward.

Michellasilva:
Please guys can I use Grey to withdraw money from my Upwork account

I believe their virtual USD account should work.

I have a personal beef with Grey, so I don't use them. I use Geegpay.

BigotedNaptu:
C130s cargo planes have no seats which means that Nigeria plans to airlift its citizens on a 6-hour journey sitting on the bare floor while there are free Boeing 747s in the Air Peace fleet to comfortably ferry them home safely.

The Nigerian Government prefers to transport its citizens as cargo not as decent humans.

All these just to avoid having it on record that an Igbo man saved the day again.

This is a new low.

Kabul to Qatar is over 6hrs.

This is the US evacuating citizens and Afghans from Kabul to Qatar.

Sometimes I wonder if people like you are naturally stupid or you put extra efforts everyday.

onmylane:
Who can help purchase my project on Upwork. I need a friend to help with one or two feedbacks.

Sounds like you'd like to pay for reviews. If that's the case, enter DM

Dudeladude:
Fraud. You live by duping people and by God's grace you will die by such means.
As long as you are a fraud. Nothing good will fall in place for you bro..

DesertScavenger:
says the illiterate bastard that has used my foreign account to win jobs.... Oleeeee carry am go..
Two other people don buy account, and may putin's nuclear bomb roast your prick for that Ukraine wey you dey...
slowpoke 🤣🤣🤣

The both you should stop disgracing yourselves online abeg. Find someone to help resolve your conflict.

Babtunz:
Hi all, please I need your inputs. So there's this client I'm working for at the moment, we agreed they'll be paying me by milestone for the contract.

However, the work I'm doing for them is totally off Upwork and is not something I can submit.
I basically do my work on my PC and push it to their version control infrastructure (think GitHub).

Since the contract started, they've released payments for two milestones so far. And each time the milestone is approved, I do not submit anything (reason above), just a simple message to maybe say thanks.

I'm worried Upwork might think there's something off - that I'm being paid without doing any work (which is false) - and could lead to them suspending my account.

What do y'all think I can do about this? I really hope I'm not breaking any of their rules.

Thanks for your feedback! I appreciate it.

I don't see a problem here, as long as you have an active contract on Upwork and you are getting paid on the platform, you are good.

If any issue arises, they will reach out to you and ask for prove of work.

I once had a client I worked with for about 6 months, the job was customer service and there was nothing to "submit" on Upwork.
