Mutilate the dollar an see how Interpol will get you

Na, we dey spray dollars well well in USA. Its common in strip club and Nigerian/ African parties.

Americans don't spray that much because dem no dey like to give person money. Even some parties dem go expect you to bring your own beer sef and even if you dey do birthday na your friends go buy their drinks and food with their own money.

The good thing about making spraying of naira a crime is that it will reduce show off and oppression at parties.

I don't k ow how strip clubs go take survive though because na the effizy for strip clubs be that.

youth are suffering in silent. Depression is taking over them. But with focus and consistency we go laugh last

I'm not going to be back in Nigeria for a long time. I end up dashing people all the money I plan to flex with.

Too much unnecessary pain and suffering because of corrupt politicians.

Women like Korra are better sucked and spat out. Them be thrash, you can't swallow her, or else you get stomach ache.

MOG6670:
yeah. It's not easy down here. Most people "youth" go to work they don't enjoy doing just to put something on the table. If i may ask, how old where u when u got married?

I know. That is the more reason why one can't afford to play around. Nigeria can drain your spirit.

MOG6670:

I was in my mid thirties.

MOG6670:
that's taking a bold step. I'll try my best to to stand up for what i wanted even i know there is consequences. But it time to take the bull by it horn

Take time to analyze the situation from every angle, determine what action is best for you and the future you want for yourself...and then do it with all your might.

David was gifted free gifts by Obed Edom to make a sacrifice to God. David rejected and said, I will not offer a sacrifice to God that costs me nothing.

Success requires focus and the courage to walk some lonely paths. The road to heaven is narrow.

I remember in my journey I did not call or see my mom for six month simply because what I wanted for myself was notvwhat she was pressuring me for.

She thought I had a good job and should marry and give her grandchildren. While me I wanted to migrate. I went to her only after I got my visa and traveled like 2 weeks after.

About two years later I got married to the woman I'm still married to for about 15 years now.

MOG6670:
after being out of job for 9months, how did u pick urself up? Can u break it down? I know there is lesson for me to learn from it

It was a hellish 9 months.

It was a leap in the dark...everything in me just felt that I deserved better than earning 18k as a graduate when similar graduates were earning 120-140k entry level. We were contract staff although our workload was even more. One regional manager that I was more refined than was telling me there is nothing out there and we should just keep working.

I said f**k 20 years from now I will still be here and this company will have folded with the way they are doing business. True true they are no more.

I had a younger brother who was earning like 250k working for an American company with a precense in Nigeria with an OND.

I told him I will be a liability to him for a while until I was able to figure out my path forward. I told him I would need money to be buying foodstuff in bulk so i can at least eat for strength as I sought for opportunities.

I had another young friend who even though I was unemployed took me as his mentor and I poured my heart and soul into that young man. Thank God he is doing excellently well with the principles I taught him early in his teenage years.

I taught him to love reading and learning,give anything whatever it takes to succeed and be bold to tell people no sorry i cant do that and to always think of the next mountain to climb.
He was my willing banker as the things I taught him revamped his business and it became really profitable that he was able to sponsor himself through university. I would get transport fare for trainings and job interviews from him and refund once I had any cash.

Lastly, I will forever be grateful to two Igbo boys who both loaned and dashed me money to pay for the course I attended. One was my classmate in primary school. The second was a neighborhood friend to my mentee. He was a software developer and guided my mentee as well in learning and landing a job as a developer.

Long story short, I paid for and attended the the training and got a job placement with a multinational company in Nigeria.

After two years of working, even though there was seeming job security because the company is the Leader in its field and the largest customer base but I looked at the career prospects and certain leadership changes at the top and decided migrating will be a better option and I took another leap of faith.

As you bend down and work hard at anything, periodically look up to see what is happening around you. You may see opportunities to take advantage of or dangers that you must avoid.

I saved up money when others were buying cars and made a leap that I don't regret till this day.

https://www.coursera.org/certificates/launch-your-career#professional-certificates

Start from here. There are 51 courses listed here. Take time to go through each one . Learn what it is about and what you strengths might be best suited to.

Research their career paths ,future trends and opportunities that are available.

It will take time and dedication. Whatever field you choose, try and get 2 or 3 certifications in that area.

When you are ready, create a new profile or add them to your existing profiles on LinkedIn, indeed, glassdoor.etc

They will come knocking on your door.

With a Cybersecurity specialization...reach out to recruiters in US Defence, dem fit drag you come join them and give you citizenship.

But you see it's not a day or one week journey. It will take your time and resources and require discipline and focus but it will be worth
In the end.

I advised that guy because he had 1 million naira. Some of these training and certifications are not cheap but they are well worth it in the end.

Don't be like that muntala called Ricky that is wasting his youth on chasing girls and gambling on sportbets.

I paid $3,000 to train and get 3 Agile project Management Certifications. I don't regret it one bit. Na investment wey worth am for me.

RickyJesus:


Are you reinventing the wheel? My guy calm down with all this motivational bullshit, if na by hard work how many people for get money reach bricklayer?

As I said earlier if you are not willing to drop update just shut up and quit telling people to Google and use YouTube, just face front.

Talking about knowing friends that work remotely and driving without a car, like who give a fvck. I always knew you have nothing concrete to offer just talking basic stuff that anybody can just say after few Google search.

You lack basic comprehension.Your bitterness will be good for cooking bitter leaf soup. Were somebody.

I mentioned the driving license example to give an example that nothing is impossible. You must always try. Thats the point. Where there is a will, there is a way.

The training that i found and attended and got a new job, how did i find it ?. It started with a simple google search. You start searching and continue to dig deeper and deeper until you get what you want, instead of wasting your youth playing sports bet and talking about lovers.

The corporate world trades in value. Youbare paid what an organization thinks that you are worth to them. If you have what an organization needs badly,they will do all they can to get you irrespective of location.

In my case i received many rejection letters and told myself that a time will come, i never apply for work. Na work go dey find me because i will develop myself to that point where i will have what an organization needs.

That is my reality now and i don't even bother reading the up to 10 e-mails every week that I get from recruiters asking if I am available for work.

Guess what i was inspired by a friend who was poached from his company with a $ 20,000 dollars bonus. Paid 20k dollars to leave his current company and come work for them. My eyes were opened that day.

Last December a Project Manager that lives in Lagos that i know well because na my inlaw was paid $20,000 end of year bonus. She has helped two of her close friends get similar Project Management jobs.

Things dey happen and men and women who dare and are willing to pay the sacrifice to suceed are doing things that are beautiful to see.

Who tell you sey I dey try motivate your papa.
You think the world owes you anything. You want update or link wey you no pay for abi craze dey worry you ni. You think that is how the world works? Nothing for something?

You bitter stupid self no even humble you dey tell your papa mate to shut up. Na that gambling don fry your brain cells

You are not willing to pay a simple price in doing small basic research. You dey find update for faceless forum. Proper crase dey your head.

You get time to dey play sports bet and create thread to talk about lovers when people are doing meaningful things with their life. Original thunder fire your mouth for the nonsense wey you dey talk since.


Your stupid logic is that " it's not possible so I won't even attempt it." Meaning you have failed the first test of success already.

It's different from saying " I've done this , I've done that what else can I do ?...then dem go hold your hand and guide you in exact steps if dem like ...because nobody owes you anything

Say you dey even play gamble self dey irritate me sef. As you dense reach you don't know that e get where you go dey skillful reach ,you go call US government sey you will be a great asset to their country make them give you chance to come live for their country. There is actually a program for it but I no go name am here.

Change that your gambling circle. Or else you will waste your life.

MOG6670:
after being out of job for 9months, how did u pick urself up? Can u break it down? I know there is lesson for me to learn from it

I told myself the truth that the reason why I was being paid peanuts is because I am not that important to the organisation. So I was being giving exactly what they felt that I was due as I could be replaced without fuss.

So I looked for money and attended a training, that offered a better job on completion. After training,like they promised I got a better offer that paid about 8 times better.

As soon as I got that, when I noticed that my chances for growth in that role was limited, I began to plan to migrate.

The journey was tough. I picked and sorted pepper and tomatoes, made bread in bakeries,did road construction labour, worked in a tobacco company as a loader, worked as a an assembler in a home and office furniture selling store, worked in sorting and labelling aeroplane parts, worked in a confectionary company, worked in a printing press.


As I settled down and got in the system, I followed the same principle of working and developing and adding skills and career value to myself such that organisation's are the ones looking for me.

I completed my Masters, got a Post Graduate Certification and working on a PhD in that field. Got proffessional certifications in three different fields such as Software Project Management, Insurance Claims Management and Human Resources Management.

As it is I am learning new skills that can one create an automated cash flow for me and another where I do one or twice a year deals.

My target is that in the next three years, i dont have to do 9-5 office work anymore .So that it will give me plenty of free time to travel anywhere in the world at anytime that I want no matter the cost.

May God continue to guide my steps.

RickyJesus:

I wasn't even expecting you to mention any platform, because you can't mention any.

Better to be quiet and don't reply than referring people to YouTube and Google, it's just childish. For your tiny mind you are making it to seem as if you want people to make their research and all that, when at the end of the day there is no platform that you would mention that's new to most people on this platform.

Keep making it to sound like it's people inability to make research that's the issue, when their is much more than just learning data analysis, Cybersecurity and all that. If you are not willing to make things known just keep quiet and quit telling people to make use of Google and YouTube.

No food for lazy man. Seek and you shall find is always my motto. For nothing is impossible.

I got my driver's license without ever taking a on the road driving test...which is nearly impossible for the average person.

I know people personally that live in Nigeria and work for foreign companies remotely.

Seek dilligently and you shall find . Why must you do what everyone is doing?

Acade:
What advice would you offer to someone who was previously denied a USA visa in March due to insufficient evidence of home ties? Since there is currently a lack of interview dates available, the individual is contemplating attending the interview in another African country. The reason for this decision is that school is scheduled to resume in June.

If you were to suggest an African country, which one would you recommend?

I think there is always expedited interview dates for student visas. Call the embassy for enquiries.

RickyJesus:

Story, how can they get remote job from Nigeria after learning all this?

Sorry, I no go fit help you with that one. Google and YouTube will tell you much

PulaPower:
Naso so digital skill dem go dey mention..

Ask them the digital skill, them no go see anything better to mention..

Make Google and YouTube your best friend online. You won't regret it.

Maual Software testing is one.
Data analysis is another
Data Modelling is another
Cybersecurity is another
Data Privacy is another
AI and Machine learning is another very good one

sheanzy:
pls which digital skill did you learn

A curious mind will use Google and start the journey from there.

kpakpakpa:

2million naira for day care? God when?

Sir i want to learn a digital skill because i'm handicap interms of communication. But an online skill can help my situation. Sir help me with just a laptop and see my story change for good because i will give it my time 100% to learn anything at all that can help. Thank you

Noted. We will definitely work something out.
Don't rush or pressure me but I won't forget by God's grace.

I'll reach out when I am ready and able to

I wish you bigger things. Once upon a time I dey earn 18,000 naira monthly and was told I should not leave the job because there is no work out there.

I called their bluff and went unemployed for 9 months while trying to improve myself. Today my daycare fees alone monthly is roughly 2 million naira.

Why am I telling you this story. So you know that you have not arrived yet and you have bigger fish to fry.

Use half of that money and learn an international in-demand digital skill that can make you work remotely from nigeria and earn really good money in dollars.

You won't regret it. Stay blessed.

I'm telling you. I had to really caution myself after I got a serious warning via a prophecy from church.

Little argument can escalate to death in the blink of an eye.

You need information but did not provide any information to point you in the right direction.

What country issued the visa?...You can also direct your question to the embassy that issued the traveling document

tochez24:


Lol.. you're just a boy⚠️⚠️⚠️

Listen up boy
1. You don't tell girls what you want from the beginning, appear gentle and neutral and you will Bleep them all.

2. You don't appear needy, no one helps the needy in this generation... You try and show that you're on top of the world and very comfortable in your own skin.

The easiest and most comforting way to lay any woman on earth is to appear like a harmless friend lol.... Even if you like her and want to date her, don't tell her upfront.. be cool, take her out repeatedly and let her feel a connection with you, that's all you need, then lay her if you want s3x and with time she will begin to get emotional with you.

Women love sex more than men i tell you!!!

That's how ladies are made, a girl you have never layed has no business getting emotional with you⚠️⚠️

You have said it all. The guy na proper olodo. Even bible talk sey you don't spread a net in full sight of the birds....they will run.

How does his noisemaking hurt you?

Everybody will be alright. I no get strength for noise making.

He was made a scapegoat. They had to get him somehow. Hopefully he will have a paradigm shift and use his time for nobler purposes than being a noisemaker.

NPFLADMIN:


In human world, someone new will always take the top of the food chain if they are not unalived.

Israel has learnt its lessons. And they were harsh ones...they were weak and had no military might and were conquered and dispersed.

They will never let that happen again and that is why they invest heavily in their military...building and buying sophisticated weaponry.


Both the Jews and Arabs are equally stubborn.

NPFLADMIN:
It's funny how everyone is tagged terrorist.

Israel sha be careful before God will send another "hitler" to them.

Because the God wey I serve cannot be supporting this madness and Insanity.

Israel has learnt its lessons. It will destroy that Hitler before it can cough.

Na once gotten twice shy Israel dey do now. I will kill you before you kill me mindset.

Safety Measures; must a tragedy occur before these measures should be put in place.

It’s only in Nigeria that a whole resident will not have a First Aid Box or Fire Extinguisher.

An average Nigeria can either not swim or perform CPR our pet a to pray and shout.

May we not be a victim.

There are more than a thousand ways to die.

Let’s talk small. We all have our own coming.

Peace.

I was in Lagos recently. 99 percent of the shared rides I used had no seat belts at the back because they had been removed.

I kept telling my fellow riders how risky this was and the purpose of seat belts and how is helps save lifes in an accident...but they would just shrugg me off as if I was speaking Greek.

Junior pope and his colleagues should never have boarded the boat without life jackets. They were adults fully aware of the risks that they were taking.

You may not use it 99% of the time but that 1 day that you may need it is when you will realise that you are doomed without it.

Nigerians are generally very careless with their lives. God will not do for man what man must do for himself

tunjijones:
These women have money to take care of themselves without the husbands. Many more women are now educated and make money on their own.

I know some women that can't even survive without a man too wld leave her husband cos he cheated.

But do you know the funny thing? These women that left Thier husbands cos he cheated on them wld now start dating married men. They didn't leave the husband cos he cheated, they left thr man cos they want to be free....marriage dey tie them down, dem no fit explore.

Na the real truth you talk. They want to br free to go and come as dey like

As you love your clansmen na so other people love their own clans men too. And na God wey create everybody.

Rokiat:

First and foremost men are not the center of my world so I never liked any of them first never.

He have to actively pursue me, likes me way more, and have qualities I desire for me to even think of liking him
And giving him a chance.

Na old school you be. Modern boys no get time to chase you ooo. Options dey too many and dey less stressful

There is big money in football. It's a whole industry on its own that can employ thousands of people.

Groundsmen, kit managers, physiotherapists, nutritionists, souvenior vendors, jersey sellers, advertisers, podcasters , food sellers and so on and so forth.
