Rush to Stagger.... Hold his ear..... You this boy... U have come again... Na wa... Stop this its childish.... Lolz

The curator had to follow me to another thread to reply to something that completely did not concern him. I have left the other thread to him and his cohorts, but no. The idiot had to follow me here.

I have put a challenge to him. I have three thriving offline businesses as well as my freelance business. I am ready to publish my earnings here every week if need be. Let him show us how much he actually makes from this freelancing stuff. Since he cannot mind his business, I will make it my business to reduce him to size.

curatorX:
Foolishness in HD! Keep fooling yourself!

Your arrogant and stupid attitude is leading you somewhere.

Nairaland gave you the opportunity to claim that you're one fvcking successful dude but in reality, you're broken as bottles!

One poor boy for one ghetto STAGGERING to make ends meet. What an irony is the Internet!

Here is a snapshot from one of my freelance accounts. Show us one of your earnings snapshots, and let us all see who is the poor person struggling to make ends meet.

Boy curator, we are not in the same class.

What a sad end. I remember when he scored the unfortunate own goal in the 1984 Sekou Toure Cup (now African Champions League) final second leg in Lagos against Zamalek. One of the two times I cried watching a game (second being that loss to Italy in USA 1994).

RIP!

This museum worker, won't you face your front and stop following me around? I have left you and your cohorts on the other thread and I am working on new projects with my new team. But of course, I am sure you have no projects at hand so you are joblessly following me from one thread to another. Please quickly unfollow me and stop following me around. I no get your time.

Don't say false information....I was bidding for a project and mistakenly pressed the sponsored bid button....when I contacted support about the mistake they told me they can only refund it as a bonus. Bonus can only be spent on freelancer and can't be withdraw. Don't come here and say its false....I am tell you what I passed through. I am just tempted to call you an idiot

Mr man, calling me an idiot does not change the obvious. The person in question wants to get a refund of the project fee on a project where the employer has absconded. You are talking of getting back money you used when you clicked the sponsored bid button. How do the two correlate? Are the circumstances the same? I even went ahead to tell you that I have had the same issue and got my money back. Why are you citing a totally different circumstance and brazenly dishing out false information that his project fee money cannot be reimbursed?

I say it again. The freelancer can get a FULL REFUND IN CASH for any project where the employer has absconded or did not follow through with the project. All he needs to do is to contact customer support and state his case and he will get an instant refund of his money. I have used Freelacer since 2010, run 80 projects on that site and made more than $50,000 there. I know the workings of that site in and out.

So if you are tempted to call me an idiot, you can abuse me to your heart's desire now.

Multimega:
stagger you think and write from your anus. Their is no fresh taste in you, you are such a soured taste. How do you live with your wife?

I live with my wife the way only me can live with her. Or you want to come to our house to see how we live? Baboon!

Insurance what? That is total BS. You have to pay money to work?

In any case, I am recruiting writers for a project I have on ground presently. This project will involve following an outline already prepared by me. Pay for this particular project is N1,500 for 950 words per article. Apply by sending an email to dankrabb at gmail dot com for a test. I will be selecting this evening.

If your work is good, there will be an opportunity for three projects in December which will guarantee pay of at least N3,000 per article.

vikings809:
Thanks mucho.

Con gusto amigo.

Hello everybody.

I'm a frequent visitor to this page. I have an issue and would be grateful if some advice is offered.

Is there a way I can move my funds away from Payoneer (to Paypal, maybe)? My card expires in December and although I've requested for another card, it's yet to land (despite Payoneer saying it'll arrive today).

I know it may arrive eventually, but I'm just thinking, just in case it doesn't. I don't want my money "frozen" in the Payoneer account.

One has to have a plan B.

Thanks in advance.

Your money is safe even if your card is expired. What you should do is to order for a new card by DHL (costs $50 so you must have this money in your account or you can buy from any of the trusted exchangers here). When your card arrives, activate it on Payoneer and the funds will be transferred automatically to your new card.

Do not complicate matters trying to do Payoneer to PayPal and all that stuff. I have used Payoneer cards since 2009 and I am on my 4th card now. This is the process I have always used.

mcsensis:
Hello ladywriter, i tried registering with the freelancer but could not conclude because my mastercard details was not accepted. Dont know how to move on.
pls kindly guide me on how to proceed to create an account esp THE PAYONEER. didnt find anything like that on their site.

Create a Payoneer account using another merchant of theirs. Then get an existing Payoneer user to transfer some dollars to your Payoneer card. Use this to activate the card, perform Skrill verification on Freelancer and then add the Payoneer card to freelancer.

onomeasike:
You are contradicting yourself or your dad. I witnessed it so know what happened. You were tactically blaming Buhari by suggesting that the food scarcity was because Buhari emptied those selling above government approved rates

Was in my early teens at the time. I witnessed it too and used to accompany my mum a few times as she went to get the essenco items for members of my father's union for sharing at our house back then.

onomeasike:
It's a big fat lie. The politicians messed up big time. It was corrupt politicians like Adisa Akinloye,NPN national Chairman and co who were doing round tripping on food stuffs like rice etc. Buhari confiscated those items and ordered that they be exhausted before any further importation. You guys are the criminals trying to bring down this great nation

My father was a unionist and so I had first hand information about what was going on then. Don't confuse the indomie generation unless your family was part of the rot that benefited from the import licenses of that era.

Theultimate:
With this news again! I just remembered a story being told by an elderly man that during Buhari military regime..... you either sell at his(Buhari's) goods fixed price or forfeit your goods to military by selling out your stocks on your behalf.

Some Nigerians are bad though.

Yep! That was early 1984. People were jubilating on the streets that a messiah had come...until the good dried up from the market and people had to go to the essenco warehouses to queue for things as basic as tissue and toothpaste.

keishik:
True, but all that have now been confirmed to be nothing but a "test". The actual job is now, wait for it...$180 per article! Apparently, writers now have more value than security men and cooks and I look forward to hearing testimonies of folks that'll benefit from this impending largesse.
Maybe, just maybe, stagger is not the Ebenezer Scrooge we pictured or perhaps, he's had an early life changing encounter just in time for Christmas.
Hello recruited writers, don't forget to share your testimonies when the dollars start rolling in in hundreds. All's well that ends well.

What is your issue? You want us to resume round 2 abi? Stay away from my business.

There was never a problem until certain persons came to poke their noses in my business. They are clearly not who I am looking for, but they just had to come making trouble. Sorry, but if I am pushed to the wall, I will push back.

Thanks to all those who have applied. Greater things await you as the present N1,000 per article project is just a test. Meanwhile, anyone who has coding experience in MQL5 can contact me. I have a contract which will be paying $180 an article. We will put into words, certain aspects of coding for the MT5 platform and we will split the pay 50:50.

I will continue to recruit writers until I have a team of at least 10 solid, reliable writers who will handle my higher paying contracts. So anyone who is up to the task should contact me using the email addy I dropped for your tests. Please I only want to hear from writers. Those who want to make trouble should please stay away.

3RNEST:
Did i read that lines well? please inbox me i need to show u some trickz....

Abeg, help save the guy from his frustration. He is hungry and has earned nothing from Upwork. That is his problem.

curatorX:
Just re-read that line and tell us why you think you're better than millions of Nairaland members.

It's obvious that you still reason via your anus, not your brains. I doubt if you have one.

You are just tormenting yourself because it has come out in the open that you sent me messages requesting for assistance. So who is the bigger fool here?

The man without brains, or the one who asks opinions and advice from a man without brains, seeing he has none?

mojeed4:
Bro. If one, two, or three people are against you, they might be wrong, but when almost everyone has a pretty bad opinion against you, bros I think its time you look inwards and check yourself.
Bros, calm down and accept defeat, you are no more than any other average people commenting on this thread anymore bro. To be sincere, I'm yet to see any meaningful contribution you made here though. Except one part sha where you advised to gain enough skill (like who doesn't know that sha )

Accept what defeat? Am I contesting any position here with anybody? I advertised a post. I have got responses. Besides, if I am looking for people to act as my checks and balances, is it on NL I will come looking for such people?

curatorX:
Your foolishness is legendary! It's like Peak, it's in you.

I sent you a PM and WTF? I saw your blabbings and I thought you'd something valuable to offer. Your dickhead couldn't even fake well.

I sent a PM, you replied like you owned the universe and I shrugged you. Now, you're forming James Bond. It's a pity!

Well, common sense is not common.

At least you have acknowledged you sent a message with a request. Mr curator, please go look for museum jobs on Upwork. Bye!

mojeed4:
Lol. That was before your ass got busted na. I'm pretty sure they've learnt their lessons now. So if you had responded, they would have been subjected to this kind of slavery treatment LMAO. I'm not really much bothered about your rate though, just upon all the hype of one 'stagger' and that's all you could offer?

Mr man, you need to take time to study a situation before you comment. I am looking for a pool of writers who I do not have to micromanage. Did you read that portion of my initial post? NO.

I have a project right now which pays N1000 for 1,000 words. I have projects which pay a lot more, but I can only give them to those within the pool I am assembling when they prove themselves so I can be comfortable giving them out without supervision. I have a site where I get paid $700 an article which I publish once a month. This is a specialist site publishing specialist information for a particular industry. Do you expect me to hand out that level of work to unproven, untested hands? Many people here who claim to be writers cannot even write articles that score 30% in the Flesch readability test. I have given writing tests to many people here before and you need to see how disappointed I was with the outcome. How can I give out a $700 job to someone who cannot even produce a 1,000 word article in a test within a given deadline?

Those who contacted me by sending UNSOLICITED private messages were looking for things for themselves. I am not obliged to answer anyone of them and I did not.

So next time, understand the crux of the argument before you comment. Your comments show you obviously did not follow this from the beginning. I have just challenged one person here to show me a client on Upwork who has paid him $40 per 700 words. Yes they exist, but does he have the skill set to attract such pay? I will like him to prove me wrong.

gensteejay:
What will I gain by doing that?

That's the point. You think it is easy to walk into Upwork with very little work history (if any at all) and secure a $40 per 700 words contract? Ain't happening dude. Show us one client who has paid you $40 per 700 words. Are you a Pulitzer prize winning journalist? You just come here talking bull crap about things you know nothing about.

gensteejay:
There are even clients that will pay as high as $40 for just a 700-word rewrite and one Nairaland 'demigod' is looking for writers to slave. Pathetic.

Show me one you have worked for.

Some of the people criticizing me here have been sending me messages asking for help or assistance. I ignore many of these because they are a waste of my time. Like the curator running his mouth off here and then secretly sending me messages to help him out.

Who is deceiving whom?

curatorX:
You are a disgrace to this resourceful thread. A noisemaker and a nonentity!

In fact, you're a disappointment to Nigerian youths. You'll come and boasts about your imaginary Jeeps and your fat paychecks, terrorizing everyone like you are accomplished.

Common standard $10, or $5 work, you can't afford to outsource. I have worked with a lot of Nigerians and about 40% from Nairaland.

The price tag wasn't my concern, but your disgraceful and arrogant attitude towards everyone. A staggering idiot! keep staggering, you're about to fall!

I wish I can teach you few things about humility and shove your pompous balls in your watery mouth!

Keep posing. Yet you send me private messages asking me for help. Ewu!

curatorX:
You are just a dickhead!

Take a moment and look through the window and imagine how your fake life is fading away through the thin air! Arrogant buffoon!!

I know your problem. You sent me a private message sometime ago and of course I trusted my instincts, ignored you and never responded. That is why you are particularly pissed. Not easy when you are scorned for the nonentity that you are.

Once more, take your opinions and "respect" and shove it up your black shitty rear ends.

gensteejay:
Baba, I don't do back-and-forth argument unnecessarily and won't reply you any further. Your response is as expected.

I hate double-standard, undue display of arrogance. I leave you with this quote by Mahatma Gandhi; "be the change you wish to see in the world."

I won't bother to even respond to the koonbey fellow because he is a non-event. I also would not bother responding to you anymore. I have got applications and from there I will pick my pool of writers to take on the projects I have.

I will end by saying it again. People have to work their way up the ladder and start from the ground floor up. If you feel too big to earn $2 per 1,000 words, then you should move on. Go and earn your millions elsewhere as a Nigerian graduate who is too superior to a cook or a gardener.

gensteejay:
Your submission is logical and I am inclined to agree with you. But this person, stagger, had previously boasted of being a 'rich' freelancer who would give free money to students.

Ab initio, when the OP opened this thread to help others he, stagger, never missed an opportunity to display his arrogant attitude nauseatingly. He would claim he's been in this business for long and would boast of 'riches' no one knows whether they are real or imagined.

Even then, people sought his assistance to give some advice to them; they asked him for his niche. He couldn't offer anyone of them a sound advice, didn't reveal his niche.

He, however, gave them one thing and has become known on this thread for that thing: He is always available to offer derogatory remarks in condemning freelancers here who has made one error or another in their freelance business.

He always belabors them, displaying unmerited arrogance, discouraging other kind ace freelancers in giving tyros in the business free advice and tips.

For such a 'prosperous' freelancer, giving a fair deal to writers -- who he wants to give jobs to -- is not unexpected. But clearly, this is a Herculean act for him; he can only offer them what he's best known for -- disparaging remarks.

Only an half-baked graduate can mention Nigerian graduates and writers in the same breath as security men, cooks, inter alios.

Only a half baked Nigerian graduate will think he is of more importance than a security man, a cook, etc. What do you have to offer society that should warrant you being paid more than these people? I have a friend who is a graduate and a chef who makes far more money than you can ever smell in your miserable life.

And yes, if condemning those who use false identities to work is what you consider disparaging remarks, it is a cloak I will glady wear anytime. I will continue to condemn it to the highest heavens. I am a believer in "the process". People must prove themselves. And if you want to earn $1,000 an article, you must be prepared to work your way to that level. It is not handed to anyone on a platter of gold and read my lips: Stagger will hand it to no one.

keishik:
Much as I've tried to ignore your arrogance, I just can't stand your level of condescension. What exactly do you take us for? What on earth makes you think you're more qualified in any capacity than anybody on this thread? An Indian, yes, the much maligned Indians is currently offering me $100 weekly for a TWO PAGE blog article with all courtesy and respect but here you are, a fellow Nigerian, offering ₦1,000 for a 1,000 word researched piece after a screening test with all the arrogance and condescension of a Nazi death camp warden!
Is it not enough that folks on here have been insulted with your offer that you've now taken it to the level of outright scorn? I've tried to think of a single contribution you've made to this thread and I'm yet to pick out anything tangible but yet you plod around flaunting your real or imagined wealth and status expecting everyone to bow in obeisance? For what exactly? IMHO you're the poorest person in here with absolutely nothing (tangible or intangible) to offer anyone and if it be true that poverty is a state of mind, I can't think of anyone poorer than the scrooge with a supposed "very active dorm account" offering ₦1000 for a 1,000 word article.

From your comments, I think you are a piece of bird shit.

curatorX:
You are just a fvck boy! Believe me!

I have never met an arrogant and an monumental illiterate like you.

You deserves to be treated as a buffoon.

P.S: I once respected you.

Take your "respect" and shove it up your ass. When did it ever feed me? Idiot!

Neduzze5:
My best local client here remains Topsquino.... Baba, I hail you ooo!! Once another job show, abeg no forget to reason me as the matter dey be ooo.

Also, I won't forget to mention Adinije... Sweetest lady on ground, even though I dey fall her hands sometimes sha. But na still we we.

There's another guy, but I've forgotten his Nairaland username.

Kudos to you all for your great rates.

However, I won't end without reaching out to Oga Stagger.

Biko, ejoor, if you need quality articles, pay quality money. Some people will still reach out to you, especially with the discrimination that goes on at Upwork.

However, to whom much is given, much is equally expected. Try add small money ontop that amount biko.

Off to Upwork...

Articles are in categories and degrees. I pay as high as N3,500 to N5,000 for specialty articles but these require a great deal of experience and know-how. You cannot compare an SEO article with a general article. Pay can never be the same. How many people can boast of experience in SEO specialty articles that can pass Google Penguin updates for SEO ranking?

How many people can prepare conversion scripts for lead generation campaigns? These are also writing projects but they are highly specialized and not for any Tom, Dick and Harry. Those who need more pay for articles need to develop the skill-set that goes with it. It is as simple as that.

MULLAH123:
Chairman, then go give the brits and yankees your $2 for 1000 words.

You goofed, and they pointed it out, yet you are jumping from one pillar to another.

If you want a job to the standards of security men, which you equate to graduates, then fine. But don't come tomorrow complaining graduates are lazy cos you get a low-quality job from them.

It is on this same thread we encourage each other to excel and be honest, yet in actions, we want to reverse.

Drinking panadol for other people's headaches. I have gotten several applications and will start the selection soon. So you can jump into the lagoon. Case closed.
