OP.....nice write-up....inspiring as well.....

We are a great country.........

Happy Independence!

ItuExchange:
This question mostly has to do with African Magic Yoruba. I sometimes watch it and whenever I watch an interesting Yoruba movie, I tend to view it till the end.

These movies are subscribed in Engilsh, and as you know, 99% of Yorubas believe in God, not matter their religions.

Whenever the cast are speaking and the translation for subscription is being done in English, the GoTV people would always have obliterated anywhere where “God” or “Lord” is being mentioned.

Whenever name of God is mentioned in the subscription, it’s crossed out.

Are the people behind GoTV/DSTV African Magic Yoruba atheists? Or are they trying to avoid offending some atheists?

Why are they doing this? Don’t they themselves believe in a Creator? Is there anything wrong with them?

Don’t they know that part of Yoruba’s core values is a belief is a creator? Why show the movies after all, if they don’t want the name of God to be seen or mentioned?

Neteller here: www..com.ng

not just yoruba movies.......

Its simple Logic........You don't need to hear "God" when watching a movie........do you?


Stop cooking up a conspiracy.........

goodmorning

MadCow1:
My only problem is why was God against Mankind having the knowledge of good and evil?



And why has he stayed pissed off with mankind since that time till now over 5000 years ..

And how cam you say he is all forgiving when he has not sent man back to Eden to start all over?

Why did it take his Son coming to die first before he started considering forgiving us?

Pfft...

I will try not to say what will be termed blasphemy.....

But we should all know that.....God has worship issues.....

He wants everyone to worship him....no questions.....just worship......

Some may ask, so what's the use of Freewill?



I see sin as a necessary Evil......

without it......the wahala of Jesus coming. and our indebtedness to him.......Faith........and Prayer

It was all Planned...

momentum85:
To me the apple represents sex, Satan had sexual intercourse with Eve, and when Adam her husby came back, she seduced him, had sex with him and their eyes opened. Then Satan had legs and hands like normal human but started crawling after the curse from God.

I beg to differ.....

Let's analyse the early genesis verses can we...?


now...after GOD created adam, he gave the Instruction FIRST to Adam....

read... Gensis 2:15-17....

" .........but as for the tree of the knowledge of good and bad, you MUST not eat from it, for in the DAY you eat from it you will certainly die"


So Adam was given the Instruction FIRST.......note that EVE wasn't even in existence yet.....

Then......EVE came on board......and it's obvious ADAM relayed the Instruction to her.

Now the question here is.....was the Friut Sex?

NO.....

God had earlier Instructed Adam and all living creatures to be fruitful and fill the earth.....and this can only be done through Sex.....

So this eating of the Fruit wahala, was a very simple instruction.....

"He dude, av got beer in the frigde.....drink all you want, but the legend extra stout is mine.....pls don't touch it.....if u drink it, m kicking you out of my Crib......"


Eve knew the Instruction....but the inborn.....-what else could happen- mentatilty put us all in this Mess.....

God is very Jealous of his Sovereignty......and the deceiver...put it into question.....

he asked EVE.....

" Did God REALLY say that you MUST not eat from EVERY treee in the garden?.............you Certainly WILL NOT die......."


God mentioned only A tree......but the Devil played of Eve's intelligence.....and she fell for it........



.....goodmorning

iceberylin:
Someone probably Is dead an he's thanking God..

What joy is there when you got lucky and others didn't but these stuffs mostly gets us to Testify. Seems wrong to me..

Just my thought......so does that mean he loved God more the other Unfortunate people who died?

Till we stop adding religion to every facet of our lives, we would never grow.....

Nature129:
Let me quickly add that if any content mill has English language proficiency test, you must take it to prove that you really understand the language.

The truth is, what most of us Nigerians speak is a language that sounds like English but not really English.

Sadly, some of those tests aren't free of charge as you have to pay in dollars.

To stand out as a writer, visit international online platforms to learn good English (esp tense) because what our teachers taught us in school in the name of English na "I beta pass my nebo"

For example, when you hear people say, "I will try my possible best," "things are hard," and "people that matters," they wouldn't know they are speaking a language that sounds like English...I don't blame them though...nobody told them

You can't write that trashy stuff I put up there for a White man and expect him to pay you. The man go just click on Ctrl + del

Absolutely Correct ......

And Sadly most Nigerian Freelancers ignore this.

Very Nice Article OP, been realistic about your abilities is a very Important Advice.

You know, another Point is, making sure your Online Freelance Profile is Up-to-date and make sure your Portfolio is Current.

Better Put you have to Create a killer Freelance Profile....

I will add some excerpts from our Blog to Support your Thread.

How do you create a Killer Freelance Profile on Sourcegig, and other Freelance platforms?

1. Image –
They say a picture speaks a thousand words. That is why you have to choose a picture that will speak a thousand words to your potential Employers. Choose photos that depict you as professional and ready to work. Don’t choose photos that will irk off Employers before they even click on your profile.

2. Professional Title –
Your professional title defines what you do. If you are a Software Developer, state clearly that you are a Software Developer, if you are a Digital Marketer, state clearly that you are a Digital Marketer. Know the description that fits what you do and stick to that. When Employers tell you that they are looking for an article writer, what they mean is Content Writer, so don’t describe yourself as an Article Writer, this limits you and you also know that Content Writer is the appropriate description............

I believe how you present yourself as a freelancer really determines if your bid is accepted...

You are right...

You need to create a killer Freelancer Profile to be able to Convince Employers to give you their Jobs to Handle.


It is necessary to learn how to Create a killer Freelancer profile, because it is an excellent opportunity to sell your skills to the next employer. Employers are looking for freelancers they can trust to always deliver, that is why your profile has to show that you are skilled and trustworthy. Always remember that you are talking through your profile, so talk well, better still pitch well!

Here are few tips to help you create a killer Freelancer profile :

1. Image –

They say a picture speaks a thousand words. That is why you have to choose a picture that will speak a thousand words to your potential Employers. Choose photos that depict you as professional and ready to work. Don’t choose photos that will irk off Employers before they even click on your profile.

2. Professional Title –

Your professional title defines what you do. If you are a Software Developer, state clearly that you are a Software Developer, if you are a Digital Marketer, state clearly that you are a Digital Marketer. Know the description that fits what you do and stick to that. When Employers tell you that they are looking for an article writer, what they mean is Content Writer, so don’t describe yourself as an Article Writer, this limits you and you also know that Content Writer is the appropriate description.

3. Hourly Rate –

You hourly rate is how much you charge per hour for every job executed, don’t under-price or overprice yourself. Include hourly rates that will also match Employer’s bid.

4. Your Skills-

This is where you include a broad display of what you can do. Always remember to include all the skills that correspond with your professional title. A Digital Marketer can include, SEO, Google AdWords, Social Media Marketing, Email Marketing etc. All these skills perfectly match the professional title of Digital Marketing.

5. Category-

Every Skills set has a category that best explains it. You can choose from several categories which include Content development, content marketing, graphic design, illustration and digital content. Here you also have the option of choosing to receive emails about projects that match your category.

6. Country –

Ensure the country of residence is chosen so your potential employer knows your location.

7. About You –

Your “About You” is the most vital aspect of creating a killer Freelancer profile. You don’t need to write a long life of achievements or copy and paste your entire CV. Just include the best specifics that tallies with your professional title. Eg If you are Web Designer, do a brief introduction and focus on your Web Design experience and certifications and qualification you possess in this field.

8. Your Experience –

Input the number of years you have been working in that field. Displaying your years of experience tells your Employer that you know your onions.

9. State of Residence and Phone Number-

Input your state of residence and phone number. Your state of residence is where you currently reside.

10. Your Portfolio –

A portfolio is a collection of documents and writing that you assemble in order to demonstrate that you are appropriately experienced in that field. You can create Presentation Slides or PDF File of your previous successful projects. This is why you have to put your best foot forward.

You are quite cheerful this morning oo.....what's the secret?....

Trendishine:

Wow! has it gotten to this? Did I mention you?.....I have a reputation on NL so i won't take the bait and Join words with you.

JeffreyJamez:
Every disappointment is a blessing.

You are very right bro.....

Goodmorning.

How your night na?

duke79:
same here. Actually, this so called event was highly selective. It wasnt designed to favour the entrepreneurial energy of the Nigerian people.

i regretted attending. Sacrificed so much for leaving my job to pitch. on getting there, i was registered as a delegate. I became disappointed. After the organizers realized the massive number of potential pitchers, one Mr. something.. kun came up the idea to dismiss them by giving everyone 30 seconds to pitch behind the curtain. What a stupid man.

Calm down babe......it's Nigeria you know. You just have to do it yourself and not wait on the Govt.

The man you were talking about....someone said his name is Bunmmi......


Goodmorning.

CirocBoi:
the Mod wen ban me the last time, just know say I swear for you and e must follow u till u commot nigeria

You are one angry dude.... no let the MOD ban you again oo

Too bad....

Not meaning to sound cocky, but we were all amazed when they said they were only going to pick 30...not the initial 50 "finalists"

Thinking back, what was the Goal of the Programme?

Quite a different story according to their "Criteria" which most Startups only knew about on the Pitch day,...( i will post the Picture here)


It's So sad...i even spoke to my friend who made it to the Final 30,....but what i heard from him was embarrassing!


Until when I saw the official APC twitter handle tweeting all about the ASO VILLA DEMO DAY....then I realized, it was just a publicity stunt...

Maybe they will push it down our throats come 2019.
