I don't know, I build for myself and carry my babe along with me, the reason she trusts me, is because she has seen me help her get jobs and change career and lead a team, building with someone comes easy, when the person is building and carrying you along.

These gender ways are getting old.

Lorayne:
Are you hoping or it really will be good? 😢

I know it will be good, because I have an idea, job searching is the average route, but building products is the niche route. Build something and monetize. Follow my diary and you'll see more of what I mean.

This year will be good.

Lamban2:
Which one are u using? Please

Wise ,Revolut and PayPal I'm outside naija that's why

any Upwork preparation for 2024 ?

Lamban2:
Good morning
I'm experiencing delay in receiving funds from upwork to geegpay this period. I initiated withdrawal on upwork since December 27, uptill now I'm yet to receive it in geegpay. Is anyone else experiencing this?

It shouldn't take much time, You might want to reach out to Geegpay, because those guys often delay. I stopped using them but you will have no choice because there's no alternative.

Proscastinating and low self esteem

Sureshegsy:
please I will like to know how you recover your account. Also I am running a US account. I want to change back to Nigeria account. Is it advisable? Thank you in anticipation

I reached out to the Customer Service, to be sincere I don't know, how long have you been running as a US account ? because they only flagged me when I shared payment details, but I had never been flagged for logging into someone's account, then again, it's possible all these information are logged against you, until you commit an offence that's big enough to shed light on you.

You believe Emeka Ike hates his son? Lol

Go and touch that boy first, your mind go dey.

I meant hate, not hit.

BiGVEEN58:
You believe Emeka Ike hates his son? Lol

Go and touch that boy first, your mind go dey.

I'm going by what he said in the message to his son.

For a man to hate his son, it means there's something deep there. It shouldn't have gotten this far.

Seeking your thoughts, everyone!!!

I work as a salaried individual and earn around 400k monthly.

However, my girlfriend constantly asks for money. I give her almost 100k every month and she feels it's not enough for her. She's even voiced discontent, suggesting I only send her money when she explicitly requests it.

I'm beginning to suspect her motives, as she seems solely focused on my income.

She never suggests saving or helps in cutting costs; her primary interest lies in spending everything.
Despite my genuine love for her, I can't keep up with her demands. I had hopes for our future together, but it seems unlikely now.

I'm considering a breakup as a solution.

Has anyone navigated a similar situation?

My babe doesn't ask I give because she's a nice person, along with my siblings and family, but I won't tolerate someone ungrateful 100k is alot.

Weigh the cons and pros in the relationship, if she doesn't bring much value, then you can dump her, after all you can always do bad by yourself.

Buy an international number and open paypal

Hugose:
This is precisely my target for the new year. Can we be friends I might need a few pointers.

sure

Story, they want to use patriotism to appeal to us, while the citizens are languishing. Japa if you can, You will start to get angry once you realize how easy life is, outside Nigeria.

emmyN:
Okay. I am very new to it and required to develop an application using it with Python for a programming test. I am hoping you would be able to help with some directions as I am stuck right now.

Docker is basically just to ensure you have an image that has everything to run your python app, so you'll mostly likely need an image that comes pip and python tools installed and deploying, you can take existing Dockerfiles online.

emmyN:
Boss, do you use Docker?

Yes alot, I love it, I recently deployed a NodeJS and Spring boot application with it on heroku

I just finished dart and about to start learning flutter, any advice boss.

Watch a lot of youtube videos. Dart is a nice language

1.) It's More Easier To Be A Dollar Millionaire/Billionaire In Nigeria:

It depends, in Nigeria it's easy to make money off relationships and networking with the right people, while overseas, you'd have to be skilled, hardworking or be creative enough to be in a space that allows you to thrive. I run an agency, and because of being in the EU, I can network with founders easily outside Nigerian than being in Nigeria, because of the country's reputation.

2.) African Communal Living:

I agree about this, Nigeria has a more communal and supportive environment, Westerners are myself and I

3.) There Is More Insecurity Abroad:

It's relative, Malta is safer than Nigeria, and Nigeria is safer than America, it depends on gun policies and the environment

4.) Easy Access To Natural Foods:

Natural food is true, but as for it being affordable, that will depend on the state, food in Lagos is very expensive, Food in the EU is very cheap, and there are farmers who grow produce to meet up demands for natural food.

5.) Favourable Weather Condition Throughout The Year:

Agreed

6.) No Racism:

But we have Tribalism which doesn't even make sense seeing that we are the same Nigerians

7.) Nigeria Better On Raising Cultured Kids:

I agree on this,

8.) Nigeria Better On Entertainment And Fun Activities:

Nope, I can travel to 26 countries in the EU at a fraction cost, there's activities here that are affordable compared to Nigeria especially lagos, things are far cheaper here, if you earn in dollars

9.) No Weird Or Crazy New Culture:

I agree on this one

10.) Cost Of Living Is Cheaper:

It's mixed, if you earn in Naira and convert rent to an inflated currency, everything will look expensive, I pay EUR 450 for a studio apartment that came furnished, it's not fancy to my apartment in Lagos, but I've seen 650 E - 1000E apartment here in the EU that come furnished, so if you earn 3000E rent and food will be very affordable, here I only pay rent $450, light bills 20 EUR (every 2 months), 16 E for bus pass that can take me anywhere within my district, you can leave an easy life. My rent in Nigerian was 2.25m, 20k every 2 weeks for light and 70k for monthly food (cooking)

11.) No Rat Race Or Extreme Taxation In Nigeria:

This is subjective, I agree but for someone like me, I do freelance, my own business and working for a company, you can as well easily save money to set something back home, there's nothing stopping you from having the best of both worlds, I think Nigerians are the special group of people that enjoy having somewhere to go back to and build.


This is my opinion, and my answers is based on my experience in the EU, obviously someone in Canada might face a more expensive cost of living and taxes..
