olaboyeh:

if I'm able to create a geegpay account, can i transfer directly from upwork to Geegpay?
Yes, you can.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Politics / Re: Why Do Countries Evacuate Citizens In War Countries by JohnPortar: 11:37am On Apr 30, 2023
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.

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.

They should do their worst.

Did China put their house in order? Why pokenose in Taiwan as if Taiwan can't be a country of her own?

Did Russia put their house in order? Why are they bossing Ukraine around as if they are financing their economy?

Did Palestine put their house in order? Why struggle over the lands of Jacob?


Did Afghanistan put their house on order?
Shey those Taliban na better people?

Did Libya put their house in order? Why is Ghadaffi acting irrational?

Did Iran put their house in order? Why are they testing nukes like NEPA light?

Myanmar, Venezuela and Turkey too?
Shey America do them juju ni?

.

People like you are very funny and somewhat hypothetical.

The closest the world has ever come to a nuclear war was when USSR placed nukes in Cuba, America went crazy.

Today, American nukes are all over Europe and you don't want Russia to react.

I assume you are a Christian that's why you think it's right for Israel to take Palestinian land.

I hope you will feel the same way when a country stronger than you comes today and claims Nigerian land because come book said it was their father's land.

Iran has never tested a nuclear weapon, stop consuming cheap propaganda.

Libya is a failed state, thanks to America and NATO.

US accused Iraq of having WMD's that's why they invaded, till tomorrow nothing has been found and no one has been punished (because it's almighty America)

When it comes to world politics, they are all the same.

No saints amongst them. Let them all keep their rubbish on their continent and stay away from Africa.

They should all denuclearize and make the World Safe.
Believe me when I say that the world is a lot safer with nuclear weapons.

It's the only thing stopping America from invading Russia and/or North Korea.

Image what India and Pakistan would have done to each other without nukes.

Iran that has been shouting death to Israel would have launched an invasion too.

Geegpay used my middle name as first name to create my bank details. Upwork deactivated withdrawals when I added it and review was taking too long

I'm in need of the payout badly so I'm resorting to this option for now.

The cheapest I have used was Grey GBP account, the fee is very low compared to the USD.

However, I stopped using Grey after they fckd-up.

Your Geegpay USD account is your best bet

Regardless of if it was intentional or not, it was not shot down.

Shooting a drone down in international water can be considered an act of war.

It was actually a collision. Russia would never shoot down an American aircraft.

I really do not understand this country anymore. They want us to go cashless yet most mobile banking platforms are down.

There is no electricity, no fuel, no cash either. I really pity people who have to wake up and go to work every morning.

Where did we go wrong in this country? What I do not understand is who this protest is targeted at.

I think we need to go and protest in Abuja or CBN headquarters. These local protest will solve little or nothing.
