I hate that test faa, because I know I understand English to a reasonable extent.
TravelRe: Nigerians That Left Ukraine, Do You Regret It??? by Lordkross(m): 5:56pm On Feb 19, 2022
James4bright:
The extreme racism in Ukraine can make you depressed, most Ukrainians are even frustrated about their lives too. In Nigeria even if you are broke, you can still find happiness. And lastly they are so many opportunities in Nigeria especially in our Entertainment industry, it just depends on your life path.
There are tons of opportunities everywhere in the world only if we try to look deeper and see things for ourselves.

The truth is that the young man left Nigeria without proper research. Now that's his own mistake, and I think we are all allowed to make our own mistakes

Secondly, Ukraine is not poor, as many people would want you to believe. Just like Nigeria, Ukraine has its own challenges and setbacks, mainly political. Corruption and many more is really hampering the countries progress.

Our only problem on this part of the world is that we want every predominantly white country must have it going great like Canada, the US or Australia, it doesn't always work that way.

My brother had his 3 kids in Ukraine and he's how in Turkey. He speaks the Russian Language better than English.

If you must leave Nigeria you should have a very good reason, and not because you just want to travel or because Ebuka did then Chinedu must follow.

There is Money in Albania, Armenia, Moldova, Romania and every other country you can think of, just don't travel without a plan.
TravelRe: Nigerians That Left Ukraine, Do You Regret It??? by Lordkross(m): 8:13am On Feb 18, 2022
It is not easy my brother. You're there already and if you can, renew your papers and start your life afresh.

You need to become an Entrepreneur, na necessity dey say be the mama of invention. Start something online like olx (jiji) on a small scale. Go to Facebook Marketplace, buy something and resell for profits, small small you build your reputation. Or you can start your own online Marketplace, work must not be when dey employ you.

Your peeps from here can lend you even if it's 50k to start or you can start for free and scale it up.

Publish books on Amazon, or some other market place and grow. You can even start a YouTube about life in Ukraine for foreigners and I bet you with the wahala wen dey there now you'll get noticed and grow.

If you quit now you'll never know what is there to be achieved in Ukraine.

I know it's easy for some people to say come back home, but 9ja be as e get. 9ja now, No cause for control, everything is under alarm .

However, in life we can be successful anywhere if that's where God is destined for us to make it.

If your spirit dey Ukraine stay, if e nor dey return. But if you believe in yourself, reset your life and stop blaming the agents that scoped you to travel to Ukraine, you had the power to research before you started the process and eventually leave Nigeria.

I'm not here to blame you though, but I in life we need to learn to make our own mistakes and then move swiftly to correct them accordingly.

My advice; don't quit. Renew and Rebuild. Ukraine is better than Nigeria.

TravelRe: USA Visit Visa Part 4 by Lordkross(m): 9:30pm On Feb 14, 2022
Dampops:
The short answer is that no documents are required but there’s an explanation. Since you are going on a business trip, how well acquainted are you to the business? Are you going to meet business partners? Are you attending a business conference? What have you been doing that relates to that line of business? Can you go elsewhere and achieve same objectives-why America?
Gather documents that help you answer the questions above and revise them…
It’ll be an interview and you have to convince the VO that the trip isn’t for immigration purposes but strictly a short business trip…
So sorry, I probably didn't frame my question well.

I was talking about like the DS 160 form, the Appointment Confirmation, my passport and things like that for the interview.

It is written to come with the confirmation and some other docs, just wanted to know the other documents needed for the interview.

I have my backup docs, just to be sure the embassy required docs outside my backup.

Thanks for your response this far.

My question is, what are the required documents I need to prepare for this day so I can arrange everything from now while I wait for the said date because I don't want to miss anything or even experience any form of extortion from those guys outside.

Note, it's a B1/B2 Visa, but strictly for business.

BusinessHow To Start Alibaba Dropshipping In Nigeria by Lordkross(op): 7:18pm On Dec 08, 2021
Every smart entrepreneur always finds new opportunities to expand their business, new partners, and new markets. Dropshipping on AliExpress was the coolest thing until the only recently when the world discovered that there are greater benefits dropshipping directly from Alibaba.

Now you might wonder how possible it is as Alibaba is supposed to be a Business To Business (B2B) system unlike AliExpress that is a Business To Consumer (B2C). Let’s see the difference between Alibaba dropshipping with and AliExpress Dropshipping stores.

In this article, we’re going to be taking a look at The #1 Solution! for Dropshipping with Alibaba.

I want to believe that you already know that Alibaba is the world’s largest B2B ecommerce platform where businesses can purchase goods in bulk quantities directly from manufacturers without any middle man.

Oops! A dropshipping business doesn’t sell products in bulk! The whole idea of dropshipping is to buy products only after you get an order from a customer. A B2B platform is good for large retailers or wholesalers that use the traditional business model but not for dropshipping!

That’s true. But recently, Alibaba decided to team up with dropshippers around the world and created a special product range designed for dropshipping exclusively. So, now you can buy a single product and redirect it to your client. Wow! Do you know about that??

Watch this video presentation to see the benefits of the new Sezam plugin that lets you import goods from Alibaba to your WooCommerce store.

Alibaba Dropshipping
Do you need to begin a dropshipping business and see what are the most encouraging choices to look over? Assuming this is the case, you can consider Alibaba Dropshipping with Sezam! As of late, Alibaba is collaborating with dropshippers. Subsequently, they have added the rundown of items that are planned for dropshipping solely.

So assuming you know the advantages Alibaba guarantees, and you have been keen on Alibaba Dropshipping, here is the uplifting news: presently you’re ready to utilize Alibaba as a wellspring of items for your dropshipping business.

Is Alibaba Dropshipping Dependable?
Alibaba is one of the world’s biggest online marketplaces. Some strict rules and regulations keep most of the transactions secure on the platform. However, all online selling/trading comes with a degree of risk. You must keep in mind that Alibaba is an ecommerce platform that connects suppliers and buyers. So, essentially, it is the responsibility of both sides to do their due diligence when dealing with each other.

Nevertheless, is Alibaba safe? Keeping it short – yes, Alibaba is absolutely safe and trustworthy. However, the best way to avoid risks while dropshipping with Alibaba is to complete your research and find the right suppliers that meet your requirements and satisfy them.

When you study certain suppliers, their feedback, history of transactions, etc., you will get an understanding of whether the supplier is trustworthy or not.

Furthermore, to see if his products meet your quality requirements, you can order a testing sample of the product.

If you manage to carry out these short simple steps, Alibaba can be a safe and trustworthy experience for you.

How To Start Dropshipping From Alibaba
Now that you have an idea of how to find trustworthy suppliers and have a safe experience, how to buy from Alibaba? Let’s look at some tips for buying products from Alibaba suppliers.

Ask about minimum order quantities (MOQ)
Even though most suppliers will already have the MOQ’s listed, if you need a lower number – it won’t hurt to ask.

This way, you can buy a smaller batch of items that will serve both as a purchase and sample. If you show that you are really interested in the product, most suppliers will provide you with a lower MOQ.

Negotiate the pricing for samples
Samples are very important when it comes to dealing with Alibaba suppliers. They can be the deciding point when you choose the supplier. So, always get a sample before actually dealing with a supplier.

Most suppliers will ask you for the full price for a sample, but you can negotiate by asking for a discount on the product. This way, you can check the quality of the item without having to pay the full price. Moreover, some suppliers are extremely confident in their products and might even send you some free samples. Although, keep in mind that this is a rare occurrence, as many people abuse this.

Ask about production pricing
Asking about production pricing is one of the most important questions.

Alibaba suppliers will give you a range like $6-$8 per unit. However, you will require the exact amount each unit will cost, so you can understand and plan your margins accordingly.

Learn about production time
You need to understand when you can deliver the items to your customers, that’s why you need to ask how long it will take to manufacture the products. Ask them to provide you with exact dates of production, to have an understanding of when your customers will receive their orders.

Can you buy from Alibaba without a company?
As you know, Alibaba primarily deals with B2B sales. However, there is a way to buy products even if you don’t own a company.

All you have to do is simply put your name in the “Company” field, when registering an account on the website.

Alibaba dropshipping and AliExpress dropshipping
1. On Alibaba, you deal directly with manufacturers. On the other hand, most of the sellers working on AliExpress are mediators between producers and end buyers.

2. The initial prices on Alibaba and AliExpress are considerably low. Above all, both platforms can boast a wide product range for you to choose from.

3. Next come shipping terms. The point is that the delivery times are similar for both platforms. However, there’s cheap or even free shipping on AliExpress.

4. Both AliExpress and Alibaba claim that they have warehouses all over the world that are supposed to reduce the delivery time.

5. Alibaba is willing to team up with dropshippers. That is to say, the platform is ready to provide dropshippers with the benefits that will sharpen the edges of the dropshipping business model.

This is why Alibaba suggests product customization. So the manufacturers that act on Alibaba are ready to put your brand labels on packages. This is to let you develop your brand name, increase loyalty, etc.

6. According to Alibaba, if you partner with the platform, you can be sure you source products from suppliers that are certified by top independent inspection companies.

As you can see, both AliExpress and Alibaba dropshipping have their own pros and cons. On Alibaba, the majority of sellers you will find are the real manufacturers. Meanwhile, on AliExpress, there are lots of mediators. Most importantly, the product and shipping prices on Alibaba and AliExpress are similar.

And since the options of dropshipping with AliExpress and Alibaba are quite similar, it means Alibaba dropshipping deserves your attention.

How to automate your dropshipping business?
There’s no secret that you need special software to let you run your dropshipping business with no effort. If we speak about dropshipping with AliExpress, this is clear. All you need is AliDropship Plugin or AliDropship Woo Plugin.

Wike was on his way to being the most popular politician from the south after Tinubu until he sent soldiers to massacre Obigbo people.

As if that wasn’t enough, Wike opened his vocal cavity and told the world that he is not Igbo.

Until then, his greatest supporters were Igbos and we wouldn’t have minded him taking our presidential slot but he committed the greatest political blunder the day he made that proclamation.

Now he can’t guarantee Yoruba votes, Tinubu got that.

He can’t guarantee Igbo votes, Peter Obi got that.

The best place to add you affiliate link is on YouTube. Whether you have 1 million subscribers it zero. If you're promoting a car gadget for example, make a Video about cars with relevant keywords.

With relevant keywords your video should do well. Say for instance you were able to get 50,000 views and just 1% (500 people) of 50k or even 10% of the 1% (50 people) takes action, you get the point now.

I would strongly advise you that if you use clickbank that you should stop the usage of VPN, cause clickbank have got some A.I system that tracks users who uses VPN in backlisted countries.


If you using the German Address and the info's of the said party, kindly tell the user of the address that you should be given any important I.d Incase clickbank comes with the block,so you could use the i.d to re-open your account.


If you have done that, you don't need VPN to enter your clickbank account.

That's why i asked if you use clickbank.
