I have been struggling with landing jobs on upwork and fortunately for me, I applied to one last night and the client replied back and we did interview and was given a quick test task to do which I did and sent to him, only to plug my laptop to charge so I could hop on the zoom call to finalise with the client, NEPA took light and not quite long, my laptop went off and neither do I have a smartphone I could have used for the call. I just checked back this morning after the so called NEPA brought back light and saw that the client has hired someone else, I really feel pained that after struggling to land a job and this particular one came but lost it because of NEPA. I will never forget this day and I am waiting for who will come and tell me to be a patriotic Nigeria. This country is a mess. Any country that can give 24/7 power supply is far better than Nigeria even if is Sudan. I feel pained!

I asked a question about your batteries you didn't answer, do you do PHP ?

Is it possible not to call and see signs of pregnancy, the story sounds somehow. is it that they weren't talking for a long time ?

pocohantas:
Keep going. That is just one of the reasons you would lose a remote job.

A lot of clients know Nigeria has power issues. How? Previous experience with Nigerian freelancers or hearsay.

There is also the issue of integrity and (maybe) racism. So it is a good sign that you were shortlisted.

Once you decide to delve into remote work, know you have to be a step ahead. Have backup network and power source for your laptop at least. Once upon a time I wondered what people use laptops for, but if you want to send me into PANIC MODE now, take my mouse. Not even the laptop itself. Lol

Way back I bought a smart laptop powerbank. It cost me 75k or so. I rarely use it these days because we done grow, but I still go with it on trips. So, do what you have to. Remote work is capital intensive to setup, but when it begins to pay, you will know Nigeria is for our enjoyment.

Today the same happened, I forgot to switch on the inverter, he was even saying our internet is slow, because Fiberone dey mess up.

OP try working from all those eateries, but your battery itself has issue to go immediately

The battery is bad ?

It's been over three weeks now I lost my younger sister to death. I'm still finding it really difficult to get myself together.

The pain of losing her so untimely has shaken me to my roots. The tears won't stop coming.

I've been told to try and move on and be strong. But how

Sorry dear

Enugu I enjoyed it, ate Abasha and Opa everyday with fish. I was living the village life proudly. Them wan dash me wife.

lol u Dy here 🤣🤣


Betting is sweet

What's the best betting platform? with the best payout ?

gfelo:
let me gist you this short story

there was a couple in[b] my village, [/b]the husband used to carry his wife to wine bar every evening until it becomes habitual they cant stay every weekend without going to wine bar, consequently work to the husband very far away and he is no longer available to take his wife there since it has become a habit the wife have used to she cant stop it, eventually she started going there alone, one fateful day she was so drunk that everybody left the wine bar and she cud not go back to house, since the wine bar don't have accomodation they closed and leave her outside, street boys took advantage of her rape her and rob her.

in essence what am i saying as u continue clubbing may u never be tempted to go alone when ur husband is not around. thank u.

Lagos couples go to clubs, that's local village setting you are talking about

Englishisamust:
Thanks very much. Finally solve my error

Yeah pay attention to the response message, the hint was there

Responsibility ti set in

Bigredmachine:
Betting has 3 major rules... Though me I sometimes go against all three, which I end up regretting most times

Rule 1 no game is 100% certain, could be 99 though

Rule 2 never stake what u can't afford to lose...

Rule 3 never chase a lost or a won ticket

I also blew away almost 100k... Ignoring this 3 rules above...

Mine was that seeing the season coming to an end, all top teams will keep winning...

I lost 20k alone by banking on Brighton to win against Everton...

No game is 100% certain

Match is always sweet when I bet vs when I don't. But I can't bet above 4k that's my limit for betting.

Not a gambling problem, an impulse problem. Who gambles 450k away

House helps are good, depending on the type of household, a traditional man will find it hard, but for working-class couples I don't think there's any other choice unless you want to break down fast. Imagine entering 5 hours hold-up and coming to do more work again. hian.

As a guy, I can't just imagine a life without drinking but in a responsible way ..

I'd raise a beer to that.

People like OP dey make me vex, the error message points out the issue.

I did J2ME in the past, and built the Efiko App for CCHUB, Good old days.

I used CodenameOne and Nokia LWUIT with Eclipse. Android devs dey lucky today back then, you couldn't see the UI until you built, I used the Form API until I learnt for you for to customize the UI you need to use Canvas, I wan die that day, but learnt a lot about UI Rendering with Canvas.

Englishisamust:
updated check again

try TEXT instead of text based on the response error.

NOTE: Never tried this before

This shit is gay af

rickyamos:
Gotcha so it’s better to learn AWS, instead of networking?

Yes

rickyamos:
In what way ?

Context: Hardware related to Web Developments

Take Servers for example, few companies handle hardware servers, only Interswitch and some big companies, the rest rely on Cloud.

Unless you're referring to other types of hardware.

rickyamos:
I have been scouting for jobs and trainings in the hardware areas. Such as networking and fiber optics, it seems only software has the highest job availability so far.

Hardware is a tough business here.

A few people get and will get remote roles but the number will reduce. It's why when I you get those remote roles. Avoid lifestyle inflation and carefully plan your escape from naija. Regardless of how much you make you can be laid off anytime and it's not easy getting another role. Even the highest earner I know from naija bought another country's passport. If Nigeria was good and amazing he could have kept the money and be enjoying himself in Nigeria.

I wish I could frame this tweet, this is exactly how I feel anytime, it's why a second passport is needed, getting another job is extremely hard.

rickyamos:
It’s even easier to get an internship or local programming job in Nigeria than to apply for freelance jobs or foreign-based jobs. Only a few percent of Nigerians who are exceptionally good or have competitive programming skills get remote jobs. I think the other group of Nigerians who get remote jobs are those Nigerians who shuttle between Nigeria and other developed countries or have multiple residences or passports

Yes but also you don't need to be exceptionally good to get a remote job, you just need a good online profile and brand. Twitter Account / Website.

People cannot vouch for your competency without a point of reference.

For every Chrome extension I do, I tweet about it, write articles about it, share on Twitter and add it to my profile.
