Did you test the food cart app on mobile devices? Cause on my phone the drop down menu is permanently toggled and obstructs the entire page.
I did, and just rechecked. Make a selection, scroll, or cancel at the X botton all work fine to clear the drop-down menu if using mobile device

That makes sense bro,
Especially the e-commerce food landing page, page, I'll like to learn how you made the links in the hamburger menu move to some part of the page, awesome
Thanks for the feedback. For 'the hamburger menu moving to some part of the page', I use the href="#..." (then insert the "id" of the specific element tag location).
ProgrammingMy Best Web-work So Far, What Do You Think? by longlife101(op):
Given all the combination of circumstances and setbacks, it feels good to now be imagining and creating 'in' the #CyberSpace.

Kindly take a look at this responsive "African Food Cart" e-commerce landing page, created using JavaScript, CSS, and HTML:
https://african-food-cart.netlify.app

Also, check out this "Random Choice Picker App". Could come in handy during moments of 'inconsequential' choice-making:

Kindly remove spaces in-between. Feedbacks are highly welcomed. Also, I'm available for collaborations.

This is nice. Kudos �

Try target='_blank' for your hrefs, to open any other thing in a separate page - before people are carried away from your lovely site cheesy

About the transitions first time loading the page, just hope they are not too much?! Good thing they stop after page load

There are other pay options like “WISE” “Pay Wire” you can use to get your funds instantly and please insist they pay through your DOM ACCOUNT hence your IBAN, Sort Codes and account number are properly verified.

Finally, do not try to suggest they add up the pay and get you a car.
It might not seat well for them and you might loose your job.


My 2 cents!
It is well. I appreciate.

AKWATGOLD1:
Longlife101 Guy,
The step you want to take might be wrong one based on this following:
1. Your employer might not have such time to buy you a Corrolla car for your side hustle in Nigeria.
2. It also send wrong signal to your employer in USA.
3. There is a payment system stated in your letter of engagement, pld stick to the letter of engagement agreement.
4. Pls open a Dom account and forward the account number to them but where i am suspecting challenges is the another cost burden on
your employer to be sending you weekly salary to your Dom account and informed them of Western Union challenges is the main reason
for opening Dom account.
5. You can get the choice of corrolla you intended sending from abroad here in Nigeria See and Buy because when you have your cash in
Nigeria, you're KING when negotiate the price of the car of your choice.
Regards
You have some nice points; especially will they have the time and patience to acquire a reasonable car when the accept to it.

Wrong signal, I don't understand o? -we speak freely, so I can pass my intentions to them, the worst that can happen is they'll say 'no'.

Like I said in my original message. I gave them my Dom' account details, yet they stick with Western Union.

Please, any idea how much the Toyota Corolla 2007 will cost now in Nigeria?

FTC yaf really tried in giving you the advice you need. But let me add my token too.

Bros you dont want to encounter clearing issues at the port man! That full car sent from abroad may reach you in just half after you have paid heaven and earth.

Try collect your money, look for local dealer/seller with the best price, inspect the hell out of the car, before you pay and go in absolute peace. 10q
Seriously. Nice one. I appreciate. Kindly advise what's the price range?

Broooo collect your money, tell that to pay using deferent medium, PayPal, perfect money. I see you working for free at last do not at accept month end payment if they pay weekly.
I get your point, the focus for me now is investing in the car for Bolt or Uber as a side income. Why I am here in "car talk". ~ any advise to this end?
Car TalkUrgent Advice Needed by longlife101(op):
I need help advising someone who would acquire a Toyota Corolla 2007 from the USA.

Background:
I recently started working remotely for a USA base 'small' firm. So I get paid weekly.

Issue:
They prefer Western Union money transfer for whatever reason, even when a gave a Dom' account. Meanwhile, Western Union now has a limit of three (3) transfer/withdrawal per quarter per person. -Yet to tell them this for next paycheck.

Intentions:
I want to ask them to save up my 'pay-chaque' and assist me acquire a Toyota Corolla 2007, for Bolt or Uber, from the United States and convey it.

I can convince them to choose to advance the paycheck in a way (I get the said vehicle upfront and my earnings deducted subsequently).

Advise Needed:
I've seen several prices online. Please, what is a fair standard price of the said vehicle from the USA, cost of conveying and custom clearance, especially so since it takes about a month or so to be shipped here.

Should they accept to this deal: what should I recommend to them while buying and sending, recommended online or offline auto shops and other things they should look out for?

I'll greatly appreciate informed feedbacks!!

I have until Monday to make this recommendation to them.

Mods please do the needful

TravelYou May Not Need To Permanently Leave Nigeria: See Why by longlife101(op):
Leaving one's country to settle in another [better] country is the current trend in Nigeria.

Traveling occasionally, = a Yes.

Relocation, = most likely a No.

Reason?

This post is for "inquest" purposes ONLY. Objective Feedbacks are welcome.

Through this exposé, if only a seed is sown that'll prompt further indepth research to the topic, the post may yet have saved its purpose. For "it is possible that at a later time, the seed that was sown when reading [this] will merge with the seed of enlightenment that each human being carries within, and suddenly that seed will sprout and come alive within" with something better.

Now, kindly try to see the other side of the coin before deciding for or against permanently leaving Nigeria. That's is, after evaluating and exhausting the scientific, "spiritual", and biological aspects, you can draw a personal conclusion.

Please NOTE: we are in no way saying people who do relocate are not good people, or can't be great people. That is not the topic.

You see, most people speak of Consequences, Karma, and Reincarnation. I won't argue if these are true or not: BUT:

1) Experiences I've had, make 'me' believe it's likely.

2) Science also speaks of every action having equal and opposite "reaction(s)".

3) Coupled with the fact that ALL Religion speaks of retribution, karma, atonement, and judgment in one form or there other. Where it's summed up that one reaps what s/he sows, and all.

Concurrently, how would you explain how a child coming into the world with some illness or 'fate' not obviously linked to the father or mother...? Wouldn't it be a consequence of some past deed(s) revealing themselves now?

And since God/Source, for those who believe in Him, is NOT partial, we are left with the fact that all humankind weave their Destiny: be it for Love and Light or Denseness and Darkness.

Therefore, for there to be a reaction there must have been an action. And for a new born child, the action must have preceded the child's birth, validating reincarnation. (The words "poor innocent child" would now take a new meaning)

From the foregone, being born in Nigeria, I want to believe is not luck or only a result of some biology consequence...

-you may be wondering why bring this up, and what's it's correlation with Leaving Nigeria, please continue reading, you're almost there.

Present experiences in Nigeria, 'could' be either or a combination of past ACTIONS or INACTIONS, or MISSION Karma (like in the case of Christ: His choice to come and make things better, meant He will face 'opposition'. i.e. someone who choose to help a drowning man might get wet.)

Any of the above might have warranted our presence in Nigeria.

That Nigeria is riddled with challenges may not be a good or bad thing depending on how you look at it. Just like parents disciplining their children; some people's best teacher might yet be suffering. -irony of parent's love.

As the case may be, running away, in this instance, migrating to another country, may not help ones 'intrinsic' development and evolution to consciousness. ~his aid may yet be where he is originally 'rooted'.

Hence, what if we were placed here in Nigeria to workout out our Karma/Salvation/Atonement/Redemption/Evolution/Ascension/HelpMany...etc?

As I also think "Where each of us is born is the effect of Karma as well.

"Those who should straighten with depravities and strife can delay it by going to an organised societies for example.

"And...

"Those who can only be refined by the crudity of Africa can evade it by migrating to a finner race...

"They only achieved a shift... because the environment they now live in cannot give them course to reflect on crudeness that gives birth to wanting to do better..."

Leaving the country on the surface may look beneficial. Can you burn-off the acquired Karma anywhere?, -most likely, and if otherwise, may even compound it.

Same thing we observe in nature. (The Warfare in Nature): imagine a "wild animal" being domesticated and you'd get the picture. Without allowing it to personally fight off dangers, or protect itself from harm, or outrun prey or hunter, and the associated agility that comes from being constantly alert, it could easily fall into disintegration and extinction. Same goes to necessary challenges where individuals are born.

By being forced to bestir itself under the weight of his/her challenges offered by his/her environmen of birth, the individual eventually learn NEEDED lessons, grows stronger, evolves in its consciousness and betters his/her, and other people's, experiences!!

Too, thinking about Bio and Morphic resonance: when Traditionalist say "the son of the soil", they are right! For there are particular beneficial rays coming from ones native place of origin, which may be weak, different or none existent in a foreign land, channelled by the earth's radiations, soil composition, plant, food, æther, stars, constalations and planetary alignments, geo-location, trajectory of the moon, etc, that nurtures the individual to thrive, and can help one to better work off Karma... These also explains why some plants or animals thrive in one location and don't at other locations.

Therefore, it might not be the best thing to permanently leave your country of origin.

Still evaluating all the correlations, and open to feedbacks from open minds: to leave or not to leave your country permanently, what say you?

1) letter application addressed to the Director NIMC requesting the change

2) Affidavit of correction of DOB

3) copy of NIN slip

4) Either: Nigerian passport, or voter's card, or drivers license, or first school leaving certificate (to confirm your DOB)

5) After "re-capturing" at the NIMC office, attach all the above you submitted and email to all of the following email addresses:

customercare@nimc.gov.ng
info@nimc.gov.ng
habiba.shaibu@nimc.gov.ng
