Qudus08:
that is more enough my brother, about Lautech only ungrateful people will says he is faulty for that because the lecturer concluded with that because they couldn't generate a good IGR and about education remember it wasn't free right from awolowo and don't forget also Lautech is still cheapest state university........ AKALA insults more than he do

No, Akala didn't insult people like Ajimobi did. He did it incessantly.
As for the Lautech issue, he was right about the IGR, but there are ways you present things to people to make them accept it. He was recorded saying "education is not for children of the poor". You can't say such and still expect sane people to support you.

Just in now, PDP Kola Balogun is the senator elect for Oyo south winning Senator Ajimobi.....congrats to people of Oyo South

I hope this is true.
We just want him out.

Qudus08:
Now I understand the fact *you can't pray for long life and avoid calamity*, Ibadan people were in 2011 chanting for peace and this brilliant man clear the fear PDP planted in peoples soul and traders mind, now the fear is gone we are all relieved and now chanting he has no character.......... beings can never be satisfied ( that's a fact!

So because he restored peace means he should insult everybody and also do virtually nothing in his second term? He insulted people, telling them how hungry they were. Also, he insinuated that education should only be for the rich when asked about the increased tuition fees of LAUTECH.
Bro, his cup is full and he's getting served. I just hope he doesn't find a way to rig it.

I'm even surprised he got as much votes as we've seen already.
Hopefully, Adelabu will also meet the same fate during the gubernatorial election.

MrPolitics:
So what part of Ibadan is not in Oyo South? I hope you guys know there are over 20 towns in Oyo state.
You’re acting like there’s only Ibadan.
The whole of Ibadan is in Oyo South. Counter it with proof.
And what results are fake? Are you just choosing to not believe them?

Stop saying thrash.
Ibadan Municipality has 5 LGAs, but Ibadan city itself has 11 different LGAs. Oluyole LGA is in Ibadan; its HQ is at Idi-ayunre (I got my PVC there in 2017). It covers areas such Odo ona elewe, Orita, Muslim, Olomi, Academy, etc. It is a fairly large LGA.

Long, irrelevant story. INEC should announce the only candidate who has united the whole Nigeria. Never again shall we allow the demented Bubu rule us! We're OBIdiently ATIKUlated.

When I say distraction, I didn’t mean it in an insultive or negative way, i’m Trying to say, with kids around your attention and time gets divided.

I've always liked this line of thought too. A year of knowing each other more and sharing nice times together can be great for newly wedded. There is always a difference between courtship and marriage. That's people who have dated for many years will get married and notice some things they didn't notice during courtship. But you know how Nigerians are - we have a herd mentality of doing everything in a conventional way whether it is reasonable or not.

Although this may be a false claim by the PDP, I won't disagree with it.
My experience with APC's rally in Ibadan shows they can do anything.
I was told by more than 5 NPower beneficiaries that they were deceived to come on the pretense of meeting the National DG of the program and signing an important document. On getting there, they were given APC T-shirts and told to start the political rally.

Nothing is beyond APC.

Hello bro, I just edited my gigs and added a few more. Still, no orders. Do you recommend I create a US account, then place a couple of orders myself for five-star ratings?

Hi,
That's a good idea.
However, you need to be careful when creating the new account and/or rating your account. Any mistake can make you lose your accounts.

AUTOCHECKN:
Who has fiver or upwork or freelance funds to sell?

PM me for quick trading

I just used Autocheckn's services for Fiverr/PayPal withdrawal, and it was smooth and fast.
Thanks.

Hello bro,
I just created an account on Fiverr.com/sandrawrights and I wish you could help me evaluate it. My buyer's request page always appears empty and even if it shows requests, nothing from proofreading and eating category comes up (i have a gig there.)
Thanks.

Hi.
Sorry for replying late.

I've gone through your profile, and you've done a relatively good job. However, take your time to proofread the profile and gig descriptions and improve them, especially the use of punctuation marks.

Also, I don't think you optimized your descriptions with keywords. Check out the top-rated sellers in your sub-niche and incorporate the keywords they have in their descriptions.

As for the Buyers' Request, I don't know much about it because I've not used it since 2017 or so. So I've little or no contribution to make concerning it.

One of your gig is for app creation while others are for writing or so. This makes you look like Jack of all trades, and I'm sure you know what they say about "Jack". Pick one skill, hone it and deliver high-quality services to your clients.

All the best, bro.

If you've parents who are responsible and/or financially okay (not necessarily rich), being a first born is not a big deal. Everybody will be okay on their own without putting any burden on the first born. A typical example is my family.

God bless you for this statement, sometimes the only regret i feel is not go out during my 20(s) however i am glad i had the chance to turn things around, sometimes it pains me because at my level, i shouldn't be where i am, but am grateful at least it could have been worse.

I understand that part. Regrets are inevitable when you go through life thinking you can do everything on your own.
At least, we should all be grateful for the changes we've made and the little we've achieved over the years.

So just felt like updating this , been a while i have posted as usual I am an introvert, majority of my time is spent indoors, and my work allows me to work from home. My activities in the day involve constantly staring at the screen doing my work, reading, searching for alternative source of income on line, watching movies, playing games, hookups and all.

However I am not shy and very out spoken, I now go out when there is a need especially if it is prominent party and i know i will meet connected people. I am very social since i engage in constant alcohol and substance. I am posting here because i had the sense of realization that we are who we are, and since we understand ourselves, we should be able to know when to be flexible, during my 20(s) i was invited to numerous parties but i never went because i wanted to work hard and read so that during my 30(s) i won't have to be hustling.

But guess, what it didn't pan out that way, not only didn't I not have fun but I also was solidified into the rat race, constant paying bills, getting broke, intense pressure from work, burning out. I got so frustrated and as in introvert the more i was stressed the more i turned to heavy alcohol and drug use, to punching the wall in my office to de-stress. I had to resign for my own sanity and do some reflective thinking. I realized the source of it all, was that Introversion had a large role to play, if i had gone out more and met with people, I would have climbed the ladder faster, believe it or not, referral is the greatest source of employment these days. Right now i am still introverted but i have realized that i need to engage in activities that will improve my social and financial status. Right now it's all about just enjoying my life, my stance/values on morality is now much more relaxed than ever, and i realized the more i went out and put myself out there, the more i attracted positive energy.

Be Flexible and be calculated, you don't want to be the guy/girl who works hard but never seems to just be recognized.

This message is so much on point.

You just highlighted some of the changes I have made to my life in the last 2/3 years.

Only some students, who have not experienced what's obtainable outside the four walls of schools, will say things like they don't need others to survive. Everyone thrives better when you've people around you.

I'm an introvert too, but I go out when necessary nowadays. I meet people from all spheres of life.

Being an introvert is not an excuse to become a hermit. Socialize, greet people, call to say "hello" when necessary, show people that you care and be open-minded about meeting new people.
It may take a while, but you'll soon get used to it.

It's not about becoming an extrovert, it's about adapting to improve your life. After all, adaptability is one of the characteristics of living beings.

As long as you give yourself enough time to recharge your energy (i.e enjoy your solitude regularly), you'll still be fine.

Thanks for the reply.
Another quick one, please: how did you verify your phone (using American IP) on creating your first gig?

cc: Venzal.

chau

I have been using the account before verification started. However, I verified with a Nigerian phone number and the account was later deported.

lol.. Look at people justifying fraudsters and you wonder why this country is like this.
God, give me the chance to leave this country for good. Based on the way most Nigerians reason, this country can only become worse.

Our unemployment problem will b solve if we start building industries n creating job opportunity instead of building mosque n church each n every day.can u imagine in my area alone we have like 7 mosques n 5 churches. For wat?? Nice one sir !!

Read well before commenting next time, so that you won't look like an unrepentant critic who only wants to attack religion.

He didn't donate money to the church, he donated money to a university owned by the church. So job opportunities will be definitely be created once the university commences work.

Kay512:
How did you get your first order/client. Did it come organically or you bought reviews as advised by many?

It came organically, but it was followed by a drought that made me buy reviews to convince buyers of my writing skills.

We like celebrating rubbbish in this country.
So somebody invited these boys to a show in Nigeria as special guests and some people paid to watch them. Damn!

funlord:
Do not go into any grammarly account deal with that Scolari guy who quoted you

Jeez!!
I paid for it even before you mentioned me.
I'll call him out if it doesn't work again.
So many scammers parading themselves on this forum.

In like 3 years or so, she has only dated 2 guys or so. The question is "which average Nigerian girl has not dated as much as 2 guys in the same timeframe?".
Forget her fame or dad's wealth, she's just your regular Nigerian girl that any guy with good game can date.

Anyone with Grammarly Premium account?? I'm ready to pay a token.

young men are beginning to pay so much attention to petty and frivolous things.
Now you see them using light makeup, going nude, and putting so much thoughts into their looks while neglecting the need to improve intellectually.
It's really a sad reality.

snowblaq:
Exactly......the word "gift" isn't a verb and shouldn't be used in that manner.

Gift can be used as both "noun and verb". Perhaps y'all should check your dictionary before correcting others here.
Anyway, we learn every day.

The problem with threads like this is that people will turn it to a suitable place for babbling about becoming an entrepreneur

We all can't become entrepreneurs. Some people have to get paid while working with others to improve the existing businesses.

Most people calling themselves "entrepreneurs" in Nigeria are just mushroom traders or resellers or service providers. It's just the conditions of this goddamn country that is forcing lots of people into businesses, not because they're passionate about it.

My problem with my smartphone is the internet. I work and literally live on the internet, so I can hardly stay off my smartphone more than 2 hours during the day as long as I'm not sleeping.

chinochizzy:
5.11 is not near to short am 5.11.5ft (1.81m)and I feel tall enough

Exactly. I was just wondering how ignorant people can be when I saw those posts. Apart from Netherlands and like 4 other countries, average age in most countries around the world is 5ft9inc or below. How would anyone say 5ft11inc is nearly short? Quite appalling.

Oh!
I sent him message on WhatsApp since Wednesday and he's yet to reply. I was even wondering why he would ignore my messages.
I hope he's okay.

incredibledan:
Please who has seen or heard from exchanger Clone recently?

I was about asking this question too. I sent him a message days ago and yet to get a response. Quite unlike him.

I don't know if there's any trusted Fiverr exchanger with good rate here.

Sterope:
Why would Yorubas vote for Buhari to spite Igbos?

I was about asking that question.
Most of these people give so much relevance to Yoruba-Igbo fight on social media, but that's not the reality offline.
An average Yoruba person doesn't care about what Igbos do.
