Why overindulging that bloody racist, should have told her to take a hike. Learn to have some dignity and how to put this bloody racists in their place. And you are proud your job in their family is to vet Nigerians for them, you must suffer from a serious lack of esteem and self worth.

So many are not computer programming related. I got a client that needed me only for email communication. All I did was respond to emails of aggrieved customers @ $8/hr for 40hrs/week. On the very first day of work, they were so condescending and insulting, I wondered if it was because I am a Nigerian abi that is their nature. I almost developed hypertension in those few hours, so I told them to end the contract and they did the next second.

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

truthsayer009:


Yes, average EU countries like Poland and Lithuania.

Language could be a barrier too, Out of desperation years ago i contacted a Japanese company, during the interviews to hear them properly was trouble. Couldn't understand their poor English accent.

That's the secret. Currently, my employers" Americans " will never hire a non-Nigerian easily. I made sure of this. I worked on my deliverables in such a way now that the platforms i get projects now automatically direct projects to me without me even seeking for jobs. I managed to climb to the top ranking in my service filed( As a Nigerian ), and on the global scale, i rank extremely high

LemmyCreationz:
Eweeeeeeey!

On Upwork, I have lost a lot of clients because I'm Nigerian.

I send them brilliant proposals for jobs I am very sure I can handle.. And I send these proposals when the total proposals submitted by other pitchers are not up to 3, but yet, I'm being dumped to the side... Nothing spoil, LinkedIn got my back, and Nairaland has been helpful too...

I'm Naija and I'm proud... We meuvvve

By the way, I'm available for your writing and graphics design jobs, see my signature below, thanks

During the war yes. During his first junta he was just liberally wicked.

MisterKennedy:


Good evening Sir

I'm sorry about your $7k loss sir

Sir please I want you to hire me as your virtual assistant. It doesn't matter how much you'll pay me at the end of the month but please hire me as your virtual assistant sir

DoctorOlasDesk:



I'll ask someone to engage you. He will contact you

BigDawsNet:



Oh...I get
I'm sorry about that..

You see we need to unite?...
If we are close to each other...we could have learnt alot about this man from your tribe and what he did to you people...

But instead we love to stay apart and even mess up ourselves here on nairaland...

Anyway the lost sufferness he brought to Nigerian people is about to be exhausted...he will leave the office and I'm sure we will never have someone like him again...

Quick question.. what do you guys think about tinubu...
Yorubas generally don't fancy him..but they can be easily manipulated when the election time comes...

airsaylongcome:


And by "you guys" you mean who? The Igbos?

Generalwoodz:
LoL Poco you should have hired out a big chested guy that could chest the insults like it's nothing... I'm currently searching for that kind of jobs.

BigDawsNet:


Sorry if that sound offensive...
It's just a normal way we have conversations with people here in north America... I'm very sorry ..

So I'm just trying to get the Igbos view on Tinubu... I'm saying this because we really can't control the election in Nigeria... It's either PDP or APC... And if Tinubu will be representing the party .... He may likely win...

babyfaceafrica:
That thing no easy o. Mental health is important. He get as someone go insult you, you go dull throughout that day

I know of two ISPs that you can easily hit 60Mbps on their dedicated plans. Fiber to home. I'm on one of them because I have to be on calls to SD in CA for work. 8 hours back to back calls.

oliverwrites:
Many times. An Israeli was going to give me a content writing job. He need about 500k words but refused giving me the moment he knew he was paying to Nigeria.

I however don't mind such people for everyone 3 rejections I get 1 very good client who is not judgemental.

DenreleDave:
Morning poco, pls help me with sumtin..

What is the role of product management in marketing of banking service? Pls can i get a response in 3 hours time? Thanks

Udoboss:



I am shocked to hear this...even with your level of competence
I just lost one...He claimed, I am a Nigerian...

Hoping for a better one

oliverwrites:
Don't stress over it. Good ones will come. I lost an Israeli, gained another Israeli who not only gave me a job that fetched me a profit of 1.7m naira in 10 days but also paid upfront and to make it easier, he chose bitcoin which means I didn't need to go through all those paypal stress. Same person called me yesterday for an even bigger project which will be so so helpful for me. What's yours can't be given to someone else

Yours will come eventually.

Keep keeping on bro.

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

kayperry:




you rather wait three hours than get your lazy ass online to carry out an insightful articles, why limit urself to one view when you can broaden ur horizon with diversfy views just google click. whats wrong with today men

The5DME:


especially when they start calling you "Omo ibo". I hate that shit ehn

airsaylongcome:


The problem isn't with "you guys". It's with the assumption that I am Igbo.
Most of what you said here have given a way your political leanings. Very hard to mask those. I'm not Igbo. I am from the south but not Igbo. For a lot of Yoruba (which a lot of things suggest that you are), any southern non Yoruba is automatically Igbo. This is not correct. Regarding voting for Tinubu, I am not a fan and he would not be the first person I would vote for. I will however vote for him under certain stringent conditions which I am not going to discuss here.
