pocohantas: The challenges are many and most remote workers have gone through different of these challenges. I once got to the final stage and they ghosted me. Normally I would ignore, but I persisted because I knew I did well. The man told me it is because I am Nigerian in Nigeria and the job requires high ethics.
Meaning: Nigerians are unethical.
Just keep it moving. It is a game of numbers. You keep applying for many and not dwell on one loss. Learn your lessons and keep developing yourself. Many days I cried. I will dump my laptop and a few days later I pick it up again. I guess it was easier for me because I had a good job and support system (friends, family and lover rooting for me). So I wasn't jobless or hungry. I just needed more and I knew my 6-digit 9to5 wouldn't give me what I wanted in the next few years.
It was also supposed to be a second source of income, but when I got an offer that trumped my 9to5 over-and-over-and-over. I resigned.
I went through your stage in 2021. Peaked in 2022. Struck gold in 2023. In fact, I had to go back to ask my firm's co-founder why he picked me (A Nigerian) out of numerous applicants and he said "GUT FEELING, you came off as someone willing to learn/work and your CV wasn't bogus". Today I don't remember the days of crying and disappointment. My own is to enjoy life. Remote work completely changed my life and I genuinely wish it for those who desire it.
That said, na who giveup lose.
When Kayperry comes online and see this. In kayperry's voice "Pocohantas, the Yahoo gal."😂
BucketMan: I don't know if some of you might remember this thread i made https://www.nairaland.com/8006821/should-go-masters-degree-remai where i contemplated going for a masters degree instead of remaining jobless at home. Well after assimilating all the advice i got from that thread, i decided to kill two birds with one stone and apply for the masters degree while also getting a laptop to start an online business in writing and copywriting which is where my passion lies.
Shortly after i got the laptop i found a creative writing opportunity via reddit and applied. One of the requirements for the job was to have a really fast typing speed (minimum of 60 words per minute). I just got my laptop so my typing speed was really slow but i resolved to increase it by practicing daily for a month and i grew from 35wpm to 62wpm which the job required.
That was just the beginning, the recruitment process for the job was done through a platform called Discord and they had a specific writing style that they wanted to inculcate in the applicants via daily trainings after which you will have to pass some exams. I started actively training for about a month and felt i was confident enough to take the intro exam, which i did and performed excellently so i moved on to the last stage.
Now this is where things got kind of complicated because this last stage required me to share my laptop screen in real time, kinda like a video call and prepare creative writing scripts for different scenarios that will be provided also in real time. The session was supervised by the recruiters and would last for 4 hours. I was fully locked in and confident in all that i had already learnt from training, However, the time for the test came and i was given a resource to download that i would use in writing these scripts. After downloading, setting it up on my laptop and then hopping on the live video call with the supervisors, i could not for the life of me get it to run efficiently, it was extremely slow and kept giving me a connection error feedback, I use MTN 4G and can't believe that the network chose that moment to start acting up. I still don't know if the real culprit is my laptop (2017 hp elitebook) or MTN network but after i switched to 3g and tried to hop back on the call to apologize to the supervisors for having a network glitch, i realized they had already blocked me, so i wasn't even given a chance to showcase my skills and this is what pains me most.
This is the reason that was given: "poor internet on a remote job, i'm sorry but it cannot work".
I'm so devastated, all the effort, time and resources invested into becoming a perfect fit for the job has been washed away in a blink. Now, i'm back home in my mom's house, in shame and defeat, with less than #1k to my name having used all my savings to get the laptop and for data subscriptions. I'm just lost on what to do right now, i have been admitted but i can't even go for the masters i applied for anymore and i was thinking to myself that even though i had gotten the job, how would i have kept up with the 8 hours per shift work schedule when there is very epileptic power supply where i live.
Is success still possible in Nigeria for those that are still struggling? or are we all doomed to fail again and again, especially for those of us looking to succeed online. I'm 26 atm and i don't know how long this will continue, it's just like all the forces of nature are working against me being rich and successful. Where can i find the motivation to search for something else to do in order to be productive when everything always ends in failure? is there even anything else to do?
Sorry for the long post, just thought i should share my experience and this is like the only platform that i can vent due to not really having anyone to talk to irl.
poor network is a major challenge when seeking for remote work. Don't give up, better days ahead.
tensazangetsu20: That's a very weird case. Having a child born in Chile gives you permanent residency if you already had a temporary residency before hand. There's probably something they did they didn't tell you. I have met other Nigerians here in Chile that hold a Chilean passport. Also temporary residency is 2 years and can only be renewed once. After that you need to apply for permanent residency or leave the country. The temporary residency is not renewed indefinitely. Your friends didn't tell you the truth. Also, Chiles immigration faced a major overhaul in 2020. Before 2020, Chile had one of the easiest immigration systems. It was one of the few countries you could visit with a visit visa and convert to a work visa in Chile but that doesn't work now.
Boss, tell us about Colombia, is it cool too like Chile?
Do they offer scholarships for postgraduate study?
Engineer Kunle Cole, the father-in-law of Wofai Fada addresses the disclaimer regarding the family’s rejection of their son’s wedding while listing reasons.
This came after Wofai Fada and her partner, Taiwo Cole engaged and did their traditional wedding in Ugep, Cross River State.
During a audio leaked conversation between Taiwo’s father and his friend, the engineer addressed the relationship of his son with the actress and his reason for a public disclaimer
According to the engineer through leaked conversation, Wofia Fada is 38 years old while his son is 30; and the marriage arrangement was briefly mentioned to him without proper channels followed.
He added that his son who met Wofai barely 7 months ago claimed she was pregnant with his child, hence, the rush to tie the knot without wasting time unlike his father’s suggestion to investigate her background.
If wofai at 38years old could date a Cole of 30years then they can marry also.
saintneo: Moi- moi is great, and there has been a lot improvements.
Enugu ọkpa remains the best ọkpa so far, the journey that moi- moi has been through ọkpa is yet to start.
If both are cooked using the basic ingredients (palm oil, pepper, Maggi seasoning, salt and crayfish) ọkpa wins. But the upgrades that moi- moi has experienced makes it more sumptuous.
I think Enugu folks should find a way to make ọkpa more interesting for non-Igbo folks.
I've heard people say this several times, must Okpa be prepared by the Enugu women for we to get the best prepared okpa?
The Okpa I've eaten here in Rivers State is just average (the taste). I choose Moi-moi over Okpa.

PapaGfad: In the shadows of betrayal's sting, My heart's lament begins to sing. A tale of love, once bright and true, Now tainted by a love askew.
Forgiveness sought, but hard to find, As memories haunt my troubled mind. The vows we spoke, now torn apart, A dagger plunged into my heart.
For better or for worse we swore, Yet love's fidelity she chose to ignore. In darkest hour, when I needed her most, She turned away, a ghostly ghost.
The pain runs deep, like rivers wide, A constant ache, no place to hide. Will time's gentle touch ever erase, The scars of betrayal, the lines on my face?
I long for peace, for solace's embrace, To heal the wounds, to find my grace. But until that day, I'll carry the weight, Of love betrayed, of trust, too late.

mrksquare: The only LGA that Wike could not rig for Asiwaju in the last Presidential election. Wike can never win Okrika. Not when the likes of Abiye Sekibo, Adokiye Amiesimaka and Don miliki are involved.
You forgot to add that Hon. Allison is now in support of SIM Fubara.
Gistmedia10: Caroline Celico, former wife of soccer legend Kaka, has opened up about the real reason behind their divorce. Contrary to popular speculation of betrayal or scandal, Celico shocks fans by disclosing that Kaka's flawlessness was the root cause.
"He never betrayed me, he treated me well, he gave me a wonderful family, but I was not happy, something was missing. The problem was, he was too perfect for me," Celico revealed.
The Brazilian model and entrepreneur, who was married to Kaka for several years before their split, expressed that Kaka's impeccable nature created an unexpected void in their relationship. "I couldn't keep up with his perfection. It made me question myself constantly," she confessed, offering a rare glimpse into the challenges of their seemingly flawless union.
Taigaban: I heard on the media, one LGA Chairman said Fubara is foolish. That was the height of stupidity on the part of that chairman. Even Wike who puts Fubara there cannot make such public statement. They have already bury their political career for disrespecting the Governor. You cannot go against a moving train and survive. The fact that Fubara is a gentleman does not mean he cannot grow wild. If I am Fubara I will forgive them but I will allow the consequences of their actions to follow them. Simple!!!
It is the LG chairman of Ikwerre LGA, Hon. Nwanosike that made that insultive statement. He's one of Wike's Boys
