There's some truth in what was spoken. Just like anything in life where you cannot just generalize, not all civil servants that have their children abroad are thieves.

In other news, check this thread for those who want to try the abroad for educational or job purposes and opportunities with fast approaching deadlines.

As you know, it is increasingly becoming challenging to travel out of Nigeria for greener pastures. And when travelling, it is good to have a focus and not be stranded.
Education, jobs, re-connecting with family are some of the ways to go abroad and settle down. There is something for everybody. For example, in Canada, there are opportunities for handy men e.g., mechanic, carpenters, electricians, plumbers. This works well for people who went to Technical schools here in Nigeria.
It is not 100% that you get it because there are many people applying all over the world. But at least you have the same opportunity with everyone else. And with a little bit of help with your application, your chance increases. And having the information is already a big step.

I have been posting opportunities here on Nairaland for more than 10 years. I have travelled and lived in Germany, Canada, Netherlands and now the United States. I am organizing a 3-hour information session on Zoom to discuss more opportunities and how to help professionally. We will go through the websites together and how to make such applications. I will take as many questions as the time will permit and answer people. However, this Zoom information session is not free, it is $50 to attend and it will be well worth your time and money.
Once you register to be part of the information session, you will be given access to a google drive that will be updated frequently with opportunities.

There are job opportunities in the Netherlands for IT professionals, health professionals, and non-IT jobs as well. You can get more in this information session.
There are also many other opportunities in Canada for various individuals from farm workers, cooks, chefs, retail workers, truck drivers etc. You can get more in this information session.
For those interested in educational opportunities in South Korea, you would get more during the information session.

Date: Saturday 10th February, 2024.
Time: 5 pm - 8 pm
Venue: Online on Zoom


Comment "Interested" on this thread if you want to be a part of this information session.

Thank you for the information. I will contact you soon about getting some BTC or USDT

What is the maximum Bitcoin or USDT volume you can sell?

This is one of the most advanced countries in the world with global brands such as Samsung, LG, Hyundai, Kia etc. The cost of living is cheaper compared to other developed countries. Its economy is welcoming and GDP per capita is about 53,000 USD.
The schools in South Korea are good and many of them offer courses in English. Although it is very advantageous if you
can speak the Korean language, as this will help with making things easier. South Korea could be a destination for people seeking greener pastures, especially through the educational route. Many of the schools usually admit during Fall (August/September)
of each year and Spring (March) of each year. For example, for Fall 2023 admission, you have until early April 2023 to apply. Some of the
documents needed to apply will be application forms, your academic transcripts and certificates, proof of English language (TOEFL, IELTS) or
you can get an authorized letter from your school telling that you studied in English. This can be used to waive the English language requirement and all these documents will need to be legalized through the South Korean embassy by the application deadline. After you have been offered admission, you will need to get a visa to travel and that is when you will have to present a proof of funds (at least 20,000 usd) in your account. And you may also have to pay at least a semester fee as tuition deposit which is around 7,000 USD. But most of the schools offer some scholarships depending on your application, so you may not need to show proof of fund if your fees are 100% covered by the school, and depending on how much is covered, then you will have to show the proof of funds.

You can always get this information yourself and also do the application by yourself. You can read more on this old thread which can still be relevant:

However, if you need some guidance or walking you through via Zoom for example, then that will be for a paid service. Hoping this information helps someone here. All the best.

It has been a long time I posted here. The information I provided here is still valid except for the mobile app that no longer functions. However, there are opportunities to still go to these countries to study and better life.

In South Korea for example, there are opportunities to have 100% of tuition paid for by some Schools for graduate studies. They can also offer one-way air-flight reimbursement to admitted students. If you search very well, you can get this information yourself.

But if you need some help, then I will be creating a paid zoom session ($100 for a comprehensive session) with prospective students (undergraduate and graduate) and we go through these opportunities together. You can ask your questions and I can answer the questions and help out with other specifics that enhance your application success. The paid session can be reduced if I have bulk prospective students that can do the session at the same time.

How soon do you wish to travel? Do you have your international passport? Do you have your transcript, and educational certificates ready? Can you do apostille legalization on time at the South Korean embassy in Abuja? Do you have proof of funds in your account or can you afford the payment of tuition deposits? There are opportunities for Fall 2023 admissions now in South Korea and the deadlines (April) are fast approaching.

Wishing you success!

To update this thread, I already got a developer. Thanks for the interest and the contacts.

stanliwise:

It is not about being a Nigerian or not. It is about giving it to the right people. There are lot of fake devs out there. Freelancers, international and local. You would never have it easy anywhere. Na to invest time to find the right people

Thanks for your advice. I have my reasons for wanting this project to be done by a Nigerian until it is not possible. If you think you are the right person and interested, you reach out to me. Simple!

Your approach to the project is why you’re getting disappointed. Development has processes to follow. Even if you want to be the only person responsible for managing the website after launch you need experience designer, product designer and someone need to work on the wire framing etc. go through the right process and you will have a solid project. Why don’t you use freelance platform then

Maybe I will go back to freelance platforms then. I thought I could give Nigerian developers here instead of using my freelancers who are not Nigerians. But apparently.....

stanliwise:

Lolz 😂

Don’t you think you’re underrating software development?

You just talked about the flow and you have forgotten it would have an interface and would be usable on mobile and desktop.
Perhaps maybe user registration is needed
Perhaps email notification
Perhaps admin dashboard.

Simply consult the right people on the technical requirements of your idea. It is not enough to look for developers without a good architect of your software

Thanks for your response. This is not my first-time giving projects out to be done. I know what needs to be done. I wanted to just give this project to a web developer who is based in Nigeria but they disappointed me. I have freelance guys that can help me do it but are not Nigerians.

I have an idea for a web development project. I have had a couple of disappointments here and there. It is a website that lists products and discounts on them. The website does not process payments. It only lists products, when the user clicks on the products, it gives more details about the product and the seller contact. The user can then visit the seller's website to buy the product but will also get a discount coupon generated on another product of his choice on the website. Once the user buys the product, his discount coupon for the other product is activated. I don't feel it is supposed to be very difficult for a developer that knows his/her stuff. If you are up to the task, let me know here with your contact email and I will contact you. But first, you have to show me the work you have done before. And I will have to choose the best person for the job. Thanks

In this case, the 500 CAD was likely from fraud so no matter what the account owner can do, there is nothing the bank will do. The best they can do is to reverse it as they have done but that money is not going back to the sender's bank. It has been likely marked as fraud. The fund will just hang in the pool for as long as possible and there will be investigations going on. The account owner's account is also likely flagged. His bank will not tell him but that is how it works.

I just want to corroborate your story. I live in Canada and I help people get funds allegedly from freelancing from Canadian projects but I also went through what you have described here. Although, the person was not from Nairaland. I have been helping the person for some time. He then told me about his friend who wants to collect his funds from freelancing too and I agreed to help. About three months ago, his friend sent me CAD through Interac (an e-transfer platform for Canadian banks) and I noticed some strange emails from my bank. Immediately calling my bank, I was told that the fund that was sent to me was fraudulent and my auto-deposit privileges were removed. Since then I cannot use Interac on my bank and if I want to send or receive money, I have to go to the bank physically. Moreover, in Canada, it means they have automatically flagged your account.

I told the person about this and he then told me that his friend (owner of the fund) was already making noise that I was not truthful. I had to ask him to let me talk to his friend directly and blasted him on the phone, letting him know that the damage he has caused is more than the 300 CAD I wanted to help him with. I also told the other guy that referred him to never refer anyone to me again and even terminated helping Nigerians collect such freelancing money. These things are risky to many of us living abroad and many people do not realize this. Besides, it is less probable for people abroad to want to run away with your money. So people should be calm when they are explaining these things to them. It is not like Nigeria where everything goes. If you are receiving funds so frequently within a week, the bank in Canada will call to know what is happening and you have to be able to account for it. My business is registered in Canada and we go through all these to report to the regulatory authorities when we receive frequent funds.

So tell him that the damage he has caused the account owner is more than his 500 CAD and it will be wise for you not to pay him anything at this point. That will be my advice until the issue is resolved from the Canadian bank's angle which I doubt.

braindee:
Good morning, everyone. I will like to respond to a recent allegation by a certain moniker Bobbieydeey. But before I go further, I'll like to throw it out here: IF I HAVE EVER SCAMMED YOU, KINDLY PROVIDE THE EVIDENCE. I've to ask this because I've now been apprised of an old-good-for-nothing fool who's been going around telling people that I scammed him. A fool at 40 is forever a fool. One day, you'd meet what would swallow you up, you and your lineage, if you don't desist. I serve a living God, His name is Jehovah Nissi.

On August 5th 2021, Bobbieydeey chatted me up about eTransfer funds and we agreed on rate of N300/CAD. During that discussion, I made it clear that I don't want illicit funds (most people here who have done similar transactions with me will attest that I include this) because I use accounts of ordinary law-abiding people. I also asked him if he knew the sender personally. He told me that he trusts them 100%. These are important assurances because I'm a middleman in many transactions. For instance, someone abroad wants to send money home, so they pay into the account off someone who needs the country's currency, most times to buy goods for importation. So it's understandable that these two people wouldn't want illicit funds.

On August 6th, he sent some funds (300 CAD) and I paid him the Naira equivalent of N90,000 without hassles after confirmation. That same day, he told me he had 70 CAD, we both agreed that it's too small.

On August 7th, he sent 850 CAD, even though I was not in-country, I still made payment of N255,000 within 20-30 minutes of being told.

The next day 8th, he sent 500 CAD. Now before then, I already intimated to him that the owner of the account said that he's having difficulty logging into the account but he would go to the bank on Monday 9th to know what the problem is but that the sender can make the transfer. The 500CAD transfer was made. He got a notification to this effect but he could no longer log into the account. I nevertheless sent N80,000 (out of N150,000) principally because my expense account was depleted and I was still not back. I sent a screenshot of my bank app balance to this man as proof. We agreed to wait till Monday when I would be back.

On Monday, the owner of the account went to his bank and he's told that his account was blocked pending some investigations which may take months. He, therefore, requested that the last transfer should be reversed which the bank acknowledged in his presence. He said that it would not land in the sending account however unless the sender approaches their bank and make this request for RECLAIM. All these I forwarded to this man including screenshots and VNs. Of course, he blew up and said many derogatory things. Of course, I'm not given to vain words and emotions so I tried as much as possible to calm him down so he could contact the sender to do the needful.

Then people from this thread began to chat me up about someone calling me a scammer on NL. I came in and I was disappointed. Really disappointed. Before reacting, however, I placed a call to the account owner to know if the funds have been reclaimed. He in turn called the bank and they said funds were still in the pool. I then chatted this man up and ask him why he's not told the sender to reclaim funds. He insisted that the funds are not reversible. I was almost begging that he's at least let them call their bank to reclaim funds. He came back later to say that the sender called the bank and the bank said there's no such. I went back to the owner of the account who was by now understandably upset. He called his bank and they told him that the sender should send an email to their bank, if possible copying the receiver's bank, to reclaim their funds. I sent this information to this man and till now, there's been no action from him. At least, no screenshot of any email. He sent me a screenshot of a RECLAIM of $500. I don't know if that is the same funds in contention.

I've said repeatedly that I would take the reclaimed funds at the same rate so that I can balance N70,000 but he insists that I must pay him since he's sent out 500 CAD. How does this make sense? Me paying N150,000 for funds that may have been reclaimed already? He's holding N80,000 of my funds and 500 CAD, WHO SHOULD BE CALLED A SCAMMER?

I will like the house to intervene here because, in my small experience OF Life, Jaw-Jaw is always better than War-War.

Thanks.

Hello, has anyone been using this service here? I need to recommend it to my sis to change it to cad dollar for her tuition payment

You can reach out to us directly and I don't know if you have. We've had a number of people reach out. At the moment, we change Naira to CAD but in bits so, this may not work for your sister who wants to pay tuition (bulk payment). We will resume bulk payments of CAD later this year.

NanaF:

This is exactly what happened to me except that I had not paid before seeing that PayPal reversed the money, saying the sender did not login before sending the money and that they protected me. I was still wondering how that could be possible. But I was happy that I have not lost anything. In less than a minute, I got another email from PayPal that my account was limited.

This is crazy. Pending good testimonies, I will advise people be wary of buying these funds except trust or escrow is involved. Maybe wait a little before paying the person that sells PayPal funds to you. I didn't know FNF could be this unsafe too.
