I plan on learning UI/UX design this year. Which is the easiest route? Enrolling in a physical ICT training center or Are there any free means of learning online? If yes, please share.

DeadPresidents:
I failed at Upwork (when it was still known as Elance)

To succeed at those platforms, you need to do some almost unethical stuff. It's really tough.

DeadPresidents:
I remember how many internal meetings we had at Paystack just hoping Meffy won't come up with something that will send us all home. So many brilliant product ideas have been shelved and archived because regulation around their implementation is murky and unclear.

Amoto94:
I know of someone who will interest you he/she is a frontend developer. Do you mind me intimating them of this offer?

DeadPresidents:
Sure.

Won't lie, this current tech job market is harsh on product people, especially starters. Been searching for junior product designer roles for a friend's brother but I only see internships. I will advise people working in product design to build a portfolio and chase freelancing. My younger brother is a UI/UX designer with many years of experience and he currently freelances (mostly because he dislikes company work)

Depositing money with POD agents is another way to go, have some small cash I'd drop with one today.

DeadPresidents:
I've worked in Fintech for the last 4 years and I can tell you the main problems you face in Fintech are not technology-based but policy-based.

You are not permitted to make charges on customer cards without obtaining PCI-DSS compliance certification. Obtaining compliance is an expensive, troublesome and time-consuming endeavour so you are at the mercy of Payment Processors like Paystack and Flutterwave with regards to the features you can use and the ones you can't.

So, when planning, factor in the legal and compliance side of the feasibility studies very highly.

E dan tay way I design last I will be rusty as hell
SQL and crystal report dan carry my head

The President does not listen to anybody. He doesn’t care. You can write what you want to write. Does he read? I was flying with him in an aircraft and we saw a news report where a goat seller was complaining he couldn’t sell his goats during Sallah because of Buhari’s administration. And the President said, ‘What is my business with goat sellers?”

Above are the Amaechi comments I kept referring to

Imagine how frustrated the party members who stuck their neck out for Buhari must feel

After elections APC win or lose you will hear plenty more

iamoyindamola:
Do no be you design renewed hope abi

[color=royalblue]If you are not under any timeline, I would be grateful to join abeg

I haven't opened my laptop in two weeks now.

Trying to expand the network for my business. Got the connect to become a supplier for one sweet Haulage company, but the documentation wey I need to submit don pass the one for eternal life.

Make we begin think of other ideas. Fitness app don too much

This CBN policy suppose give opportunities for more fintech innovations[/color]

iamoyindamola:
Na you they design for APC abi
We dan catch you

iamoyindamola:
I they outside Lagos to work and my host just they give me old notes every time

raumdeuter:
I believe Buhari is not behind anyone and will not ise power to support anyone

The politicians who thought Buhari would help them have all realized that Buhari sends no one

If you know what Oshiomole eye see. Oshio fought Buhari battles die. When Oshio ran into issues instead make Buhari convene NWC meeting and support his party chairman he allowed them rubbish Oshiomole

Since then that one don carry his own cross

Half of those who collected APC ticket felt because they went to Buhari and he smiled with them or made promises that he is going to support them

That was what gave Emefiele Lawan Akpabio Amosun Fayemi Amaechi and even Osinbajo confidence to go pick form
Most of these people have no network to win a National election but were banking on Presidency endorsement

If they had known that Buhari will be looking like dodo and not use his so called influence why would they bother.

The smart ones last minute when they didn't see any endorsement nor movement from Buhari they jejely stepped down for BAT

GloriousGbola:
Buhari is a special case na. We have discussed it on this platform. It is not only Tinubu he has fked over since he entered office. As for all the others that is all in the game. I also remeber mimiko did the same after apc got him his mandate via the courts.

raumdeuter:
If you as a young tech savvy person living in Lagos has to go through all these hoops to change your money and ensure you are not stranded by next week, imagine what your retiree aunty, your petty trader and farmer in interior Ebonyi Ekiti and Gombe will go through

And who will they blame? At the time of an election is when you are expected to be of good behavior not fuel scarcity and throwing the cash dependent economy into chaos[sup][/sup]

If you are the ticket holder of APC and all these are happening what would be going on in your mind?

How do you campaign when people's cash are useless in their hand

Roland17:
But you are relying heavily on the structure of the same party, especially outside the SW! Asiwaju on his own without the structure and machinery of APC can not beat Atiku in the North.

raumdeuter:
Na under Buhari Emefiele dey pick 100m APC ticket

2 weeks ago the news was that DSS was chasing Emefiele the CBN governor while he was hiding in London claiming sick

All these happened under Buhari and he didn't say Pim

APC primary Buhari was saying they should allow him choose his successor, 2 days later the party chairman was naming Lawan as the anointed candidate, 24hrs later Northern governors were holding press conference that Power should move to the South

Later Asiwaju won the primary in a landslide

Aisha Buhari regularly says it that a cabal is controlling her husband. Her husband will respond that she should stick to kitchen affairs

Buharis nephew could not even get APC ticket in Buharis homestate

Everyone don see say Buhari has major deficiencies in leading in a democracy even leading his own family

Buhari don sign out and leave the country on cruise control for whoever will take it

Watch out for Buharis interviews after he hands over

GloriousGbola:
I am not sure how bad that would be. In lagos anyway. The only people I pay in cash right now are okada riders. I have a lady I buy fruit from and na transfer. I have seen people use transfer to buy suya from abokis. There is an aboki along the street I pay the same way. The tanker that brings my water - I pay them like that also.

So I don't think that is really an issue.

GloriousGbola:
Nnpc is the sole importer of pms in this country. If you are bringing in pms by yourself without a contract with nnpc , at current dollar rates it will be in the same range as cost of diesel and atk.

I also know for a fact that nnpc in conjunction with dss is literally arresting attendants for selling fuel in jerrycans. They are enforcing sales at 169 last I checked and even pushing for lower pump tolerance within their direct networks

For the life of me I cannot make sense of what is going on. As an impure tribalized batist though I will say the abokis have thoroughly fked everything up with greed and incompetence.

An old friend into fuel haulage said that it all comes down to systemic diversion of product outside Nigeria. Outside Nigeria petrol is sold at international market rates. So if you divert trucks outside Nigeria you make big money.

Diversion is an industry term. Say your station in lagos has ordered and paid for a truck. You pay 4m. Truck leaves depot and instead of going to your station, it is taken maybe up north. The station operator gets a call. We have diverted your truck. Take 6m which is the market value of the fuel plus your own cut on top. The truck is then moved up north or wherever where the product is sold at a much higher rate. Everyone in the transaction makes money, while the queues grow longer as the available fuel cannot meet demand.

As for the n280 ex depot, that one I really do not get. Unless like in the case of dollars and central bank, nnpc is running a parallel pms market

Ibime:
Not at all

Itsrm:
I was sha wondering.

Do you have any link to the full video?

Ibime:
Buhari done respond. . .saying the purpose of redesign is to stop vote buying and voter intimidation and "that's what he wants to go down in history for"

Simply put, Naira redesign is aimed at Bullion van movements

Oh boy, Buhari really carry Tinubu for mind

[color=royalblue]ATMs are dispensing new notes as at yesterday I withdraw. Unless you have proof that they are paying old notes.

As for the petty traders, I agree that is an issue, but i know with time, everyone will find some solution

Just deposit your old notes first.

Many businesses have started adjusting. In the markets, people have started notifying customers that no old notes will be accepted as from Monday.

It is a start, and I don't see why the nation will be on fire because of it[/color]

Roland17:
Now you see why I get upset with those who try to excuse Buhari’s failures. You see why I question Buhari’s core leadership competencies in a Democratic setting?

Itsrm:
This Buhari na werey

izzou:
[color=royalblue]I don't know. I see Total, Oando and NNPC selling at 189 here too.

Why that is different is what i dont know. Maybe GloriousGbola will help us understand better

But if you see 330 per litre, just know they bought it 280 per litre.

PS: Avoid the last lane on Lagos Badagry expressway, especially from Barracks.

Road don block[/color]

izzou:
[color=royalblue]The intended aim of the policy is to reduce the volume of 1000, 500, 200 notes in circulation.

So unless you are expecting to get the same number of notes you exchanged, you are ignoring the reality, my brother

Deposit the money first. Is that not the ideal thing to do?[/color]

izzou:
[color=royalblue]The price at the depot is 280 naira. Do your findings, my Oga.

So if you have enough capital, you can help us buy, and sell at the government's RRP.

It is like you don't understand the headache the marketers are going through[/color]
