Get starlink. I thought remote workers make a lot of money.

One person up there said he has made over 100k dollars within 2 years.

2.4m monthly is how much again in $

Babatundehy:
I had mtn and Airtel routers, when I used the Airtel router I always got the unlimited monthly plan, the daily 10gb never let me access some websites and even blocked some apps from connecting, made calls to the customer care but wasn't fixed so i quit Airtel, mtn 5g was better, (i live not too far from a uni so that is a +), but when it rained or was really cloudy, or during the day, i got terrible speeds.
My wife got lucky and also started working remotely, Elon musk pushed out the starlink mini and made it affordable so I got it, I was paying about 20k a month with those routers, so my wife, myself and another person in the next building who always streams pay the monthly subscription, the worst speed I ever got with starlink was 89mbps.
if you are around people who use lots of data and want good speeds, you can come together to get starlink and then you guys just pay up the sub, good speed is guaranteed and even a small inexpensive power station can power it for days (40 watts+-), this is good for gig workers who are constantly hunting, the burden of payment won't be much, and youll always be connected.

I think Paypal is back to being available to Nigerians living in Nigeria.

Its available in Nigeria but you cannot receive money only send, and inspite of that you can get banned any day any time.

stanvesco:

They'll take it sometimes but you will have light 90% of the week.

Mini starlink is how much and what's the monthly subscription

To get the kit for the starlink mini you'll have to pay 354k, the kit itself costs 318k, shipping is 36k, and your first month's subscription is free if you used a referral link to buy, monthly subscription is 57k.

Hello.

Can you explain this band A to me. What does it mean?
Is it the same with 33?

danvon:
Paypal seems to be biggest hurdle for remote workers. Banning you for no good reason other than your a Nigerian.

With band A, light is no longer a problem, with 4G router, internet is no longer a problem.

What's the difference between gig and job?

Babatundehy:
Any serious remote worker knows to make arrangements for electricity whenever needed, strategically secure apartment at a location that's almost always quiet, and also have every other equipment needed to make the job fluid.
Generator is a bad plan, it can disappoint you just when you need it, electricity from solar is what you need, all of this aside, the greatest problem of a Nigerian remote worker is being in Nigeria, count yourself lucky and know that you're among the top 1 percent in Nigeria and maybe Africa if you secure a remote job, an actual job not a gig.
i see most people mistake gigs for jobs, a gig person doesn't have a job, and while at it, save money, continue to apply for jobs and make sure to look into how you can make money doing what you can control to some extent (with the money you saved).

Gig is short term, your employer has no commitment towards you, you'll get no benefits (holiday pay or other bonuses or health insurance etc), your relationship with the employer ends immediately work assigned is done, the gig world often has little or no structure, no security, nothing is promised, you roll with the waves.
When random semi skilled or unskilled hands are temporarily needed (often for cheap) to attain a certain result, or when employer doesn't want to be attached to or have a proper relationship with the owners of certain hands, often to cut costs, a gig is doled out.

Google AI Response:

Band A in Nigeria refers to the highest tier of electricity supply, offering customers 20+ hours of daily power, but also comes with the highest, unsubsidized tariffs (around N225/kWh as of mid-2024). This Service-Based Tariff system classifies consumers by supply hours (Bands A-E) to align costs with service quality, though it faces criticism over fairness, frequent downgrades, and delivery inconsistencies, leading many to seek solar solutions.

What’s the power rating of your power bank? Look for the type C output that usually requires C to C cable with 65watt power Delivery, PD

Depending on your laptop too

Which power bank are you using? Can you post a picture of it?

Some are 140watt C PD

Your power bank power rating is 22.5w , it can’t charge your laptop

Try 65w or 100w all depend on your laptop .
The power rating is very important

You're not capped, you can search for links here on nairaland.

I meant link to the job adverts. Which platform offers real stuffs. Most of the ones I've stumbled on look kinda fishy plus there's always a subscription fee at the last page of application submission.
