Going to war with NATO is suicide for who exactly? If you mean for Russia and not for Russia + NATO, then you're clear a dumb nigga.

Russia currently possesses more nuclear weapons than the entire NATO combined!
Russia could nuke the entire EU, NATO & the United States and nothing will happen. If anything would happen then MAD is assured.

You pro west black Africans like to joke with what you don't know. You think russia is China that talk without acting? Lmfao wait make that ultimatum end in the next 20 days. If a negotiation is not reached BTW Russia & US, expect a FULL SCALE Invation on Ukraine.

Russia death with them before, also death with the US-Nato backed Georgia. Nothing happen. Na from inside your cave inside zamfara you go for wail and cry unbelievable

Saintmary:
Very smart guy.

If he ever thinks of becoming the POTUS, he already has a support base.

I'm really impressed by that gesture.

Condemn or not does not undo the act. I am defending Islam here not the murder or the murderer please.

The media gang up against Islam by the west that some useless animalisticated fellows are buying into to spew thrash in other part of the world is what I am addressing.
The most civilized and 'heartful' people in the world are the Muslims.

A beggar has no choice?

These are the kind of mindsets that shouldn't be promoted. We shouldn't let our background as Nigerians put our backs on the ground.

Remember, by employing you, they're not doing you any more favour than you're doing them. Ffs, no one should become a hypothetical beggar in a recruitment. No matter the hardship, no matter how saturated the market is, you've still got some value.

ClixMaster:
The same way a first class graduate is accepting 30k job offer in Nigeria is the same way a web developer can accept $500. Most have no choice.

Lindner:
Yeah. But those are Nigerian companies operating within the economic limitations of Nigeria. A US company that you read online that just raised $153m second round funding, you went to the interview and requested for $500/month. I have an issue with that.

ClixMaster:
Company that wants to call will call. I have not even finish learning let alone applying but I won't blame people collecting $500 per month as salary. If you have gone a day without food, you will understand that condition can make one do anything.

Lindner:
The best way to figure it out is to think about how much value you'll be adding based on your job description would be adding in dollar terms to the company. Nobody cares who wrote the application whether you live Somalia or bauchi as long as the app works as expected. The company is making money, everybody including the janitor(who earns more than you) smiles home with a fair pay except you.

Lindner:
What do you expect? I didn't need to ask her. A business wants to make money and cut cost. And some of these devs are really good. I've worked with a good number of devs in Nigeria and I dont fail to bring up this topic. The outcome has always been the same. They made me feel greedy. I needed this confirmation from a recruiter just to be sure.

I've engaged with some developers on nairaland about this topic and out of frustration, I just surrendered.

Since the pandemic and the popularization of remote work, it's no longer news that western tech companies now look to source talents from Africa and Some parts of Asia. The rationale is to cut cost.

A recruiter that recruits for some of these tech companies recently told me that they no longer disclose potential salary budget to candidates from Africa, especially Nigeria.

She mentioned that they are always shocked at the salary expectations of candidates. She went further to state that 9 out of 10 candidates from Africa request for between 20% to 80% below the budget of the companies( Even though the company is already saving a lot by recruiting from Africa). And the fact that she mentioned Nigeria specifically got me a little angry.

Why tf will you guys be asking for $500/month for a software development role no matter whether its entry level or not? What values do you place on yourself? Just because you live in Nigeria? A cleaner does not even get paid $500/month in those companies. Do you feel good knowing the colleague you'll be working with is earning ×5 of what you're being paid and you're probably even adding more value. Don't you get angry?

The painful part is that some of these companies didnt even offer to pay you these miserable salaries, you requested it yourself.

Sometime ago, on another thread here on NL, on the same topic of remote job compensation, some folks came to the thread with alot of justification why $500/month is a good offer. They cited exchange rate, poverty rate in Nigeria, how there's no job and every other pathetic reasons why they should slave away to a western company. I can't even begin to reason the ones that are hawking their "skills" here on NL offering to build a full fledged e-commerce site with integrated payment solutions for 10k naira.

I don't care what you say, if you know your shit and have good self esteem, you can earn as much as $4k/month. Before you come here and start reciting all the impossibilites in your books, know that I'm writing from a position of knowledge. I have statistics and real life examples to substantiate this figure. I myself have been working remotely even before the pandemic.


I wouldn't have bothered to even write, but this development is now coming back to bite some of us just because we answer the name Nigerian.

What sort of nonsense is this? There is an international law on international waters. A country cannot just wake up one day and claim a large area of international waters because she has weaker neighbours.

Why should China build military bases on international Waters? Why must commercial ships take permission from China before passing through international waters?

Do you even know this means that in the event of diplomatic crisis with Nigeria, China can ban Nigeria oil export to Japan,Taiwan and other Asian tiger nations which can only be accessed by the south China sea?

I hate when ignorant minds spew trash in public forum.

If USA was minding their business and refused to abolish slave trade since it stripped Africans of their dignity, I am sure you would have been a slave today working in one white man farm.

I have come to realize that most people love their oppressors and despise their saviours. How are nigerians even treated between an average American and Chinese company? Even the democracy you enjoy today and have the power to spew trash online without harassment was given to you by America.

It is obvious that something is inherently wrong with many black people

Let us try to be reasonable and avoid parochial sentiments.

Vampire America days are numbered. I thought you wanted to post about the job very 75 planes China flew over the Taiwan strait this weekend. America is a paper tiger and her military myth will be exposed in Asia. Then stop spreading western propaganda, nobody is hungry in North Korea. Americans are the most hungry people on Earth. 70% of American children go hungry every night. Over 100 million American are on food stamp. The United States is an overrated shiitthole living under a bubble

Indian, Israel and China didnt just became tech hubs overnight. The major IT pioneers in these countries came back from the west. The current CEO of Microsoft is Indian.

Weak nations? Lmfao
Russia currently have the largest ground military hardwares in the world, not just Nukes and inter continental ballistic missiles.
Those ground troops would be a pain in the ass for the US if they were to go toe to toe.
Reason is because the US is very strong in the air, stronger than Russia, but a lot weaker than Russia on land with both on par in the sea.
The fighter jets of us wouldn't be able to do much on russia, if assuming they're the ones on the offensive. Reason is because they own many ground hardwares and that includes anti aircraft guns and self propelled artillery.

I'll be honest with you, it depends on who is on the defensive. If USA attacks Russia in their own land, US would lose woefully. Vise versa
