I just run another test now.

tosbobby:
I think Internet speed is part of it.

Some employers will tell you to do speed test and send them screenshot of the result.

Speed test:
A friend in UK 370mb/s
A friend in Poland 1GB/s
Mine in Nigeria 24mb/s

To get a genuine 100mb/s in Nigeria, you will be riding on a premium package which will eventually cost you a lot.

After sending them the speed test result, most of them stop responding.

This is rarely the case, what sort of job would demand this.
24mbs even 10 can do alot.

Except it involves data mining and other core computational stuff.

As Op stated, lack of competence is the main issue.

Those that even have a little of those skills would face heavy impostor syndrome that would drag them down to not even apply.

Because they have not tested themselves in real working environments so they doubt their abilities when push comes to shove.

The Many Reasons Africans Remain Unemployed For Online Remote Positions:

1) Lack of Competence: The Incompetence of Handling Digital Remote Jobs is One of The Many Reasons Alot of People Cannot Secure Remote Jobs For Themselves.

2) Lack of Discipline: Alot of Africans Lack The Discipline To Adhere To Organizational Standards, Work Ethics And Timing. Many Africans Cannot Work On Their Own - Unsupervised!


3) The Inability To Monetize Their Skills: Many Africans Love To Acquire Skills Just For The Sake of "Acquiring Skills". Many of Them Fail At The Ability To Monetize Their Very Own Skills. So, They Are Always Online "Looking For Remote Jobs" Instead of Being Online To "Start Or Create A Remote Job".

In The First Place; Many Africans Cannot Fit into The Organizations of Many Online Remote Jobs Because They Cannot MONETIZE THEIR OWN SKILLS. So, If You Cannot MONETIZE YOUR PERSONAL SKILLS, What Then Are You Bringing To The Table of Any Organization That You Want To Work With ?

Data Analyst job

100% correct I have been suffering with that even with my multiple skill set and experience

Data Analyst job

I thought I was coming to read rubbish but the OP disappointed me he nailed it so well, I even learnt new things from this short piece. I am even guilty of number 3.

emmy512:
If you still feel this way, pick a good project, start it and finish it.

It'll give you the discipline you need, because most times we start and face something daunting and then give up, if you can do something good for free, getting paid won't be an issue.

Find a group if people join them and work, even if you don't get paid what you deserve..
At this point it's earn or learn. Both would be wonderful.

Meet UI guys that would like to have their work come to life and offer to bring their work to life.
Free or not and you'll find yourself gaining confidence.


This is basically what Internships help do, but Nigeria doesn't support that mode if learning properly else NYSC would better off be a paid internship where the government supports student s and companies employing them

Hahaha!! you got me there. Last week I was on the verge of making some partnership deal with a Sweden resident in setting up a betting bot to run on PC. Considering the fact that my cost of electricity was more cheaper than his. We made some rough estimate costs for hardware equipments and the rest . Ogbeni called me on a video call to run speed test on my 3 devices for MTN, GLO, and Airtel. The highest I got was around 28/18 for MTN, took Airtel almost a minute just to connect, GLO kukuma fail to connect to server. After the call, he didn't reply to my chats, only for him to comment on a thread I made that my country's internet speed is slower than an that of a snail and that if a bot is a setup using my network, the bot will be struggling to place a bet on the first half, while the game has already progressed to the second half, I was confused between crying or laughing out loud.

Many Nigerias as I know can still get competent enough once they know there is something there for them

But electricity and internet is the biggest issue

How.many Indians are indeed competent

But they got their electrical and energy issues solved
