This, yet again, lets us see that the communalist African culture is what we find in nature... All these Western world are fraught with artificial everything - from food, to culture, to lifestyle...

During work trip in the US, I saw an homeless man with ipad and phone and was thinking to myself that this homelessness get levels, Westerners are very isolated compared to Africans, here we have family and friends to rely on, to a degree, there you're on your own.

If you see houses in Banana Island, you go know say money dey this country. Beautiful expensive houses no one stays in. I was just consoling myself that my reward dey heaven.

I prefer tailwind Bootstrap is too restrictive

if only the Husband was around for emotional support. but Solider has to go on duty. Christ imagine what the husband is feeling now

Guy no panic, PHP/Laravel is not that hard, just read on their documentation and know the design pattern it uses and the rest, you will learn on the job.

Hello everyone, let me just go straight to the point.

I got an offer recently as a backend developer with a company and I will be resuming work in some weeks time. The issue is I feel like I'm not good enough to take up this role, like I keep doubting myself.

I haven't work with any company or organization before. All my experience has been building web app for people, I've been doing that for like two years now.

I'm happy I got this role, because it wasn't easy, at the same time I feel like can I do well in this role?. I don't know if anybody felt the same way the first time they were taking up a software role too?

So software devs, I need your opinion on this. Thanks.

What stack ? we all do, but luckily enough documentation and Youtube videos lately.

So I will try my best to keep this thread active by raising points of discussion so that prospective remote IT workers can gain some insights. I must state (even though I agree it is biased) that I am not so into encouraging people from other careers to jam pack the remote IT market in Nigeria. A lot of people are now beginning to rush into this space as there is the perception that it is very lucrative. There are several other career paths other than IT that also recruit remote staff. Accounting/Bookkeeping is one of such. Same with finance. And even Pharmacy (for drug trials). If anyone feels offended by this discrimination from me, I apologise in advance. But that's just me

So, often; most remote jobs advertised (at least for the US markets) are for full time employees even though you may have to work remote. Recruiters will indicate if the openings are Remote-US only or open to international applicants. Full-time remote jobs outside the US are very difficult to get (based on my experience) because your employer will have to pay tax to the Nigerian government and most US businesses aren't interested in that because it adds extra level of work for them.

The other alternative is to be hired as an Independent Contractor which is where we as Nigerians have good chances of getting hired (if you are good o!)

@Lindner and @qtguru what has been your experiences regarding this? Do you guys currently work FTE (Full time Employee) or Independent Contractor?

I work FTE and Independent contractor, Remote jobs are not a problem just that no job security, so always improve on yourself incase things go south

Although this did not happen to me, but it brought a very heated argument between i and my fiancée.

I saw a video on Instagram where a man caught his younger brother sleeping with his wife. He saw them but they did not see him, he pretended he did not see anything.

A few days later he told his wife that he wanted to surprise her with a gift and told his brother to help him out, he said he wanted it to be a surprise and so he tied up his wife’s eyes with a cloth and then also told his brother he had a surprise for him too, that one also had is eyes tied up.

He then took them both downstairs and gave them both empty cartons to hold. On one side of the carton he gave his wife he wrote “she cheated on me” and on the other side was the caption “with my brother”. She was very excited at the expected gift and was smiling throughout and giddy with anticipation, meanwhile oga was filming the whole drama.

On his Brother’s carton he wrote “my brother slept with my wife”, of course he was blindfolded and didn’t know what was written or the fact he was been exposed and humiliated to the world. Oga now gathered her jewelry, makeups and other stuffs and started putting into the cartoon. Madam was jumping up and down thinking of how many and heavy the gifts were. At the same time oga had carried all his wife’s property and thrown on the road while videoing the whole scenario play out. I leave you to imagine the shock and humiliation on there faces when the blindfold came off.

Now this brings me to my own scenario. Now I love my fiancée very much and as is customary of me, I send her funny videos I see online. We laugh about it and all. So I sent her the aforementioned video and she laughed and then got serious and asked that if I was the Husband what would have been my reaction, I told her that I won’t be violent, but that would be the end of the marriage. I would be done and I would never forgive her, but that after time must have passed, I would eventually forgive my brother. That is where issue escalated o. She said that would be very unfair of me, that they both deserve equal punishment, I told her that he is my family by virtue of blood and that can never change, though he betrayed me, but we remain family and I won’t want my parents go through the agony of seeing there children apart. But that my wife only became family by virtue of the trust we have towards each other and that once that is gone, nothing holds us together, besides I won’t be able to stay together in the same house again with her.

She just started ranting that it means I would choose my family over her and that I won’t treat her equally and that what am saying says a lot about me and she got really pissed at me. She took it really personally.

My question is, did I do anything wrong? Is my assertion a totally reprehensible one one devoid of logic? Or am I being unfair?

lol una dey fight over skit.

These people nice, na to rain am slap and blows.

It's that no one cares about men.
