Foreign Affairs / Re: Barack Obama's Daughter, Sasha Smoking Marijuana In Public goes viral by mercysamuelson(m): 8:25pm On Sep 08, 2023
Normal stuff when it comes to doing that in the US. Even for here, companies do give break time for smokers to go smoke and they have a place or an open room meant for smokers in the company. There is every right to do that here if you want to.

So you already knew the name. So how did you know about THAT fish?
Which school did you attend? Which kind of fishermen do you have in your village?
I need answers!

Everything shouldn't be all about jokes and play. Just because you never heard about that before doesnt mean I shouldn't either.

How do you google something, when you don't know the name to write inside google?


I know about that fish before now. All I mean is that we can Google the name for detailed information about the fish.

Career / Re: Remote Workers: How Do You Cope With Foreign Accents At Work? by mercysamuelson(m): 1:28pm On Sep 01, 2023

A friend just got an international remote job but he is worried about communication with Native English speakers.

He aced the 4 stage interviews and has been given an offer. The pay is good considering the current exchange rate. He was offered $42,000 per annum.

Presently, he works with an audit firm and makes N1.9M NET monthly plus other side businesses.

The role was strictly for Inbound Pre-Qualification and Sales when he applied but at the final stage of the interview, adjustment was made in the JD which includes outbound sales.

Please note he understands and speaks English fluently but he has issues with thick American accents. The position is a Business Development role and it involves conversing extensively with Americans.

Any advise for him?


Let him speak so slow and always be straight to the point. We have more Mexicans and other Natives working in the States too and we all communicate with each other on our day to day activities. What I've learnt is that they respect the way we speaks our English and yes, they believes that we have the best English than they do. My co-workers, leads and managers here tells me that time without numbers, my wife says that too cos she knows that they don't speak complete English as we in West African does. So develop a courage in you to always say things as it is from your heart, don't try forming an accent you can't speak then you're good to go.

No matter how peaceful or serene any water body may appear, including a swimming pool, never take the risk of swimming except you are a confirmed swimmer.

RIP to the dead.

Travel / Re: Nigerian Lady Compares Cost Of Living In Nigeria And The U.S. by mercysamuelson(m): 6:26pm On Aug 16, 2023
LegendHero

Lol, the lady did some delusional tactics well. Most of the things she stated there are lies for USA or she probably live in the extreme suburb where she has to take 2hours ride to get to the nearest city.

—Consistent internet which will give Wi-Fi for a home for instance should be within $60-$100 monthly. Your phone bill could be $30, but it’s not gonna power most of your household gadgets and etc coz that $30 won’t be on an unlimited data plan.

—How can 2bed rent be $9600 per year? Does she mean in Houston for example, you’ll get a 2bed apartment for $800? She’s probably hallucinating.

In ATL for example, house rent in the city area for that 2 bed are usually within $1500-2500 per month. On top of that, you pay Light bill, gas bill, and the apartment monthly charges on sewage and common area if you live in an Apt complex. That could be additional $250 on it.

If it’s now mortgage, no way in hell will you get that monthly payment.

On average, in a city, you’ll pay nothing less than $18k yearly and that’s even being conservative. It could go up to $28k in total for most cities.

—I agree with her groceries of $700 monthly. That still make sense if you’re only spending on food.

However, to go out to a restaurant for 2 people, you spend nothing less than $80-100 in one sitting especially for Nigerian food restaurants. To the lounge, you spend nothing less than $100-$150 if you factor hookah and drinks for 2 people.

Except if you be get inside person will you even spend that monthly. Coz me I count jollification with food price

This lady ehnn, my rent is currently $2500 monthly in California. 3 rooms, 2 family room, 2 toilets and a garage and a swimming pool included.
For gas, it's $140 for 2 weeks driving. Foods are cheap though if you're the type that loves cooking but I end up spending $80+ if I want something from McDonald and other fast foods.
It's just a decision depending on how much you're paid at work and how comfortable you want to be.
