It's actually very normal.

As a Nigerian, you're already losing 10-0 to life in the cyber space.

You have to be extra smart and good at what you do to make it in this space.

Yup, power, time, NDA and internet speed were there main concerns wich i guaranteed but still didnt get it. for NDA they said they cant act on it if i default due to my nationality and complexity involved.

Lucky to get 2 from uk and 1 from finland handling their CRM software and web management respectively.
.
As a nigerian also target smaller eu nations and those with little time zone difference

Multiple times. From SEO job to article writing.

It's crazy!

Many usually don't just outrightly reject, they'll just ignore conversation and ghost you.

This mostly happened in Arab countries. Here in Dubai Nigerians hardly find good job due to employers rejection for no reason

I lost out on a $1200 per week job few months ago because i mentioned the word, Nigeria. I was supposed to earn roughly $5,000 monthly and the project was to continue for a year plus. I eminently qualified for it cause I met all the requirements they sought for.

It happens we move. I ended up getting a replacement with the same figure sha. Today I work with three major firms, One an Asian firm and two American firms. With the quality of projects I've pushed over the past year with them, they will never hire a non-Nigerian again. I made sure i over-deliver with every project to reinforce this narrative

If you work for yourself, will you give yourself job to do? Is it people that will patronise you. This is not karakata business o, they are talking about online jobs.

Hypocrisy is when you hail Yahoo boys and expect a foreign firm to hire you to work for them
Do you know if the owner of the company you want to work for has been scammed by the Yahoo boys tarnishing the image this country has?
Or even their relatives....
If I be oyibo , the golden advice for my children go be "If you hear NIGERIA, run for your life
So that means no more visa and embassy in Nigeria na. All of them should kukuma pack and run for their lives.
And all of us should just remain here. No more travelling anywhere.
-
Unfortunately, despite the destruction the (bastard) yahoo boys are doing to the nation's reputation,
foreign nations have to still break their head to take terrible risk to still do business with "good & trustworthy" Nigerians, here or overseas.
It's just a bitter pill for them to keep swallowing.

STEADY.

I don’t overthink it. Many are concerned with our power issues. They know these things.

You should have taken the job and find places. Bet9ja shops must always have light. Fast foods and some hotels always have light. There is a hotel I Know that's is always on light. What you do is buy something. Go to the Vip lounge and buy water 500...you dey there till night. If you drink, buy beer. I Know people that do it daily !!

A friend of mine lost an opportunity to work for jp morgan as copywriter. According to email he received he's fit for the position but can't be considered due to his nationality. #lala pls push to front page for wider audience. Pls share your experience.
JP Morgan will never write you an email and tell you that they rejected you because you are Nigerian. Never!

At best they might say they are recruiting only US-based writers.

I have clients literally on every single continent and never once has my nationality been an issue. Because my work speaks for itself.

I have been doing this for almost 10 years btw.

You can always work around this if you have money. For speed, get cobra net or spectra net... Electricity buy solar. If the pay is good, you work around it

Yeah. back in 2015 or thereabout, it's stupid how most foreigners think that all Nigerians are into frauds, just because of some unscrupulous elements tarnishing the image of Nigeria globally.

that was how I lost almost $7k on a web designing job, I felt really bad though but that didn't deter me from chasing my dreams.

You can renew after one year if you like
If I don't renew, does it mean the website's gone forever?

Yes, I remembered working for a popular Canadian website community with over 200,000 members as an SEO expert. I worked 2 to 3 hrs per day from Monday to Friday, and I was paid $200 per week back then. The CEO complained that he can't pay a Nigerian that much because the minimum wage in Nigeria was barely $70. He later terminates the job after 2 weeks because he feels I am earning too much as a Nigerian.
U dont say!

This is when the person has earned some money from it naw. A new freelancer might not have these resources. I like that hotel idea you dropped. Very nice one.
