There's one particular female that's always shouting up and down nairaland that people who claim to be working from home are fraudsters, come and see your gender making big bucks while working from home. Ignorance is a big disease, I for tag her but I don forget her moniker, make I no go drag the wrong person into this violence

Me following Pocohantas bumper to bumper. I will be back to share testimony soon in Jesus name.

On behalf of grateful and ungrateful Nigerian youth i say Well done and thank you for this thread. You are one in a Trillion. I mean it cool

You are most welcome babe. I did it for people like you, not haters.

Yeah im on upwork too. But i noticed something

Getting gis jobs are so difficult

Getting jobs on electrical and solar load analysis is very tough too and mostly requires the use of very costly softwares like helioscope and pvsyst whixh i dont have or plan to buy

Nigeria educational system generally makes you unemployable when you compare the standards abroad

Can you use PVsyst efficiently and effectively.
Your Monika is a turn off.

The OP used to hold the same opinion. One thing with small-minded people - no thanks to conceit and delusions of grandeur in general - is that whatever they do not have knowledge about, they will do everything possible to disparage and despise it and those involved in it, but once they become a bit knowledgeable about it, they try to usurp it.

Truth is bitter, but I can't stop saying it.

Nice write-up pocohantas
Freelancing is not easy and you have to put in the hard work.
Recently, I enrolled for a course that entails virtual assistance on ALX but couldn't complete it due to power and data constraints.
Hopefully, I'll get back soon.

Oh shut up! You just can’t help spreading your bile on this thread. I knew it was only a matter of hours and you would come out in full force.

At no point have I disparaged remote work. I only thought it was limited to tech and has a negative effect on social life.

Nice one pocolee... sorry pocohantas grin

Your experience is quite an interesting one and I can relate with it.

I've known upwork since 2016/2017, only God know the evil spirit that stopped me from joining then.

Eventually, I opened an account in the first week of April 2020 as a software engineer. Getting approved almost immediately, I changed it to a writer's profilegrin

I did not send any proposal at all till June 1st this year when I decided to take it more seriously. Got several feedbacks and eventually landed a long term writing job for a US based client. And it has been a wonderful experience so far

The completion in upwork is crazy. The Pakistanis, the Filipinos, and Indians have made it really difficult getting a work there. And the fact that we're Nigerians, we've already had like two own goals already.

Though some Nigerians are making it big. I recently came across a Nigerian based writer that has earned more than $100k+. Success in upwork is many a time a game of effort, chance, and luck.


Can you outsource some of your writing jobs to me?
A trial will convince you.

I wouldn't say i hate my current job but it cost me the bolded. After the rigorous application, with 65% result and admission that followed suite i couldn't keep up with the course. Its painful.

At this point, i have decided to take total control of my time.

Stop trying to insult your boss unjustly. Anyway, one can only blame the MODs that make it possible for small-minded elements like you to insult others unjustly and go scot-free. Well, say that to my boy, nna gi!

Meanwhile, one of my companies is presently hiring both Software Engineers and Finance Experts at Toptal. Assuming that you are a top talent, I would have said, go and register there let me recommend you to my HR personnel for a $160 and $140 per/hour job respectively that will run consecutively for a minimum of 11 months, and you will stand a chance of being made a permanent staff member and relocated to America at the end of the 11 months.

If you are looking for a place where everyone will always put you on a pedestal, get the eff off this forum.

Yes to every penny is your sweat. If you are not working, you are not earning. I saw this guy that made $100k in a year. A Nigerian in this same Nigeria with us. cry
100k is peanuts compared to what other people make per annum, what is your area of specialization?

The delusionist said I should first send £1,000 to a "Nairalander" of his choice to prove I am resident in the UK, after which he would send me I think £2,500 and I should also come to his office in Mayfair, London before he departs the UK, so he can help my life. cheesy

Ma'am I never said that i was earning millions of dollars, I know some guys personally that are making above $50k monthly on both Fiverr and Upwork, one of them is a game developer/programmer, that should be approximately $800k upward in a year, we both know how being a game developer and programmer is lucrative.

You are nothing but an attention starved perv! Its so sickling that a grown ass man like yourself can stoop way below the ground to seek a 5 minute attention . You claim all shit! But its amazing that those you have tried to slander are doing better, touching lives and making impact while "you whom God has blessed" goes about with a virtual "Please Notice Me" placard around your neck begging for 5 naira attention .

Just this evening man with balls like you testified to being blessed by a female nairaland whom in your warped mind is evil. But here you are trying to bring down a Good woman for sharing something your flaccid balls are too weak to do even though you earn billions every seconds. If i talk say your brain is upside down now, it will be as if i'm rude. Meanwhile its just the truth about how your brain really works.

Yes! we put POCO on the pedestal, As a matter of fact shes the only nairalander that intrigues me on this forum and i respect her for who she is. If that is what is killing you, kindly go hug a working transformer to end your misery. Do that early because that respect and love we have for Poco isn't ending ever!

Lol, the person small-minded Poco said I blackedmailed for a job is here already.

"Seen. But I didn't study computer Engineering though." And she went ahead to send her email and Whatsapp number; when she did not get a response from him because he was not interested in allowing her to mingle with him outside here for any other reason, given that she has always professed her love for him and wished to have him to herself for about two years prior, she came back here and started antagonism against him, Lol.

My simple refusal to allow you closer to me on an intimate level makes you so bitter. Lol.

By the way, is tosin.toomuch aware that this your new moniker? Dangerous snake. I guess since 2015 no man on Nairaland has fallen for your romance scam again after he did. Did you later return the Nokia phone he bought for you after he dumped you and requested for same?
