bro do you train? How much let me know. I need your email. I dropped mine for you

I am actually traveling for a conference now. I will reply your mail later. However, I am done contributing anything on that other thread.

solid3:
That GTB is cheating you. They are just helping to fund the mallams dorm account which he would in turn sell the electronic dollar at up N235 to $1.

I am not aware of any CBN directive to stop cash withdrawal of foreign currency.

In a nutshell, you were shortchanged.

#neveragain

Well, that is the rate at which I would still have obtained it if I had withdrawn and sold at Sheraton. So I don't feel shortchanged.

fxbot:
nope.

I only design sites with the help of wordpress.

Dude I started digging after seeing what stag said and since he wasn't explicit about it. Bro, I think I have found something I can pursue that will pay off in long run.

So I may dedicate 1 year in learning this mobile app development.

Dude, that shiiit is a money spinner. Jobs yakpa. I came across one a few minutes ago and the company was even willing to give visa to selected applicant. The perks are just so awesome!

Dig deep!

Stag gave it a while ago but people didn't noticed cos they were carried away by his disposition .

Matthew chapter 13 verse 10 - 15

10 And the disciples came and said to Him, “Why do You speak to them in parables?”

11 He answered and said to them, “Because it has been given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given.

12 For whoever has, to him more will be given, and he will have abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.

13 Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand.

14 And in them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, which says:

‘Hearing you will hear and shall not understand,
And seeing you will see and not perceive;

15 For the hearts of this people have grown dull.
Their ears are hard of hearing,
And their eyes they have closed,
Lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears,
Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn,
So that I should[a] heal them.’

16 [b]But blessed are your eyes for they see, and your ears for they hear;

17 for assuredly, I say to you that many prophets and righteous men desired to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it.


The words of Jesus Christ Himself. Treasure is only revealed to those who have eyes that see, ears that hear and brains that understand!

The environment is a function of people who live there. The families of these people live like pigs, that is why their environment is like that.

I've been using Payoneer over 5 years. Only started experiencing this this year.

I don't quite buy the compromised ATMs because if that is the case my GTB mastercard will have wreaked caused havoc since.

Payoneer user since 2009, experienced it for the first time this year. Funny enough, I remember seeing two guys close to the Ecobank ATM where it happened in Asokoro just milling around with no particular purpose. I strongly suspect they had a skimming machine.

Anyway I reported, got my funds back. We are now pursuing the case..

Went to GTB yesterday and was told I can no longer cash the dollars across the counter. I was now referred to one mallam who is now permanently camped in that branch. You fill a transfer form to mallam's account, mallam pays you the exchange rate (I cashed at N222 to $1 yesterday), then GTB takes their transfer fee of either $10 or 1% of amount, whichever is more.

Can you imagine this? What it means sha is that I cam now sell my dollars at any price I want to anyone who is desperate for it.

ipain:
stagger, you are not willing to help with laid down guide. It's very obvious. You have avoided answering questions from what I noticed. You were asked what service do you offer but you avoided that. What skills can one acquire, list them. You also avoided that one as well.

Then what are you willing to help here?

You are more than this stagger. You have been on Nairaland since I knew you over 3 years ago.

Help make this thread valuable... Help lifes bro and show people how you did it!

If you avoid this as well then I can only assume you want people to send you PMs so you can charge them high.

If that's the case, state it clearly here and I am sure people will take you up for it!

Someone actually called my academy a stu.pid academy. What I refused to mention is that a prominent guy from my place who is trying to eradicate poverty actually sponsored 20 students from his place to get the training so they are not paying a dime. I have actually been on this for 2 years now.

I am talking to a foreign foundation to give me a grant to train some folks for free. So my friend, you see why I said I will NEVER sell an ebook or market anything to anyone here on Nairaland. The place is filled with all kinds of fools. One person who contacted me about this last year and who I gave so much information for free did not even bother to send me a mail saying thank you. I will put up his username once I go through my mails.

Forgive my language, but the idi.ot who called my venture a stupid one is part of the reason I will not contribute anything further to this thread. Afterall, I found my own way myself with no help from no one and certainly not from people like darmochy1.

Datazone:
Master, so what skill(s) should one learn in order to be successful on Elance or Freelancer? Please, kindly expatiate on it. Also, can I send you a mail? Thanks in advance.

I have an academy where we teach people mobile app programming. The least you can earn with this is $3,000 a job. MINIMUM! How about that for a start?

[quote author=Pidggin post=37997903]Believe me, am not hating @ all, why should I? But going by your unverified earnings there's a contradiction. You said you earned 50,000 USD in 2013 alone, yet your total unverified earnings show a 38,232usd, where is 50,000usd made in 2013 alone? Pls post a link to your profile, thanks.

Like I said before freelancing is not a get rich quick platform, there's work involved, expenses(fuel & data), expertise needed, wisdom to avoid scammers and time required. With experience it will get better and easier. Take note, clients are not fools you will surely work for every dollar you earn. [/quotes]

I only showed you just a little of my earnings. I have companies I work for now whom I met on the platforms. From Russia, US, Canada, UK, South Africa, Vietnam, etc. My earnings are in Euros and USD.

I have nothing to prove to anyone. I am not selling any ebooks. I am only saying: it is possible to make good money as a Nigerian with a fully Nigerian profile.

It is about your skill and what value you impart. People pay for value. Little value means little money. Much value means much money. To be able to pull in the money I make, I paid thousands of pounds to pick several skills and certifications in London and France. I prepared for it. I made lots of personal sacrifice.

No be today i enter the game. So haters, keep hating. Oluwa that opened my eyes years back has not failed and is still blessing.

youdontknowme:
Man or boy, whatever, No one cares if you've made a million buck if it doesn't affect them in any way. From your very first comments hitting at victor and 'showing off' your status, I really don't get what you are driving at.

No one 'hates' ur success, they sincerely don't like u rubbing it on their faces, then you said 'Simply ask humbly' I can count how many people who ve asked you in one way or the other how u made this 'acclaimed' fortune and your here talking of sheraton. If you want to enlighten people, do it. Ugh.

Like your moniker says, nobody knows you. I am out of this thread forever.

3RNEST:
I Concur, but i gat some issue here, for stagger: a very proud guy, talk too much, show off...i don't like his move seriously.
as for victor101: - cool dude keep ur good work we are watchinq....

Upwork rock, NO skill No Earning, that's my concept about that site and its working since 90's...

Someone challenged me here to show proof if earnings. I posted one. Another one said na lie, nobody can pay a Nigerian that much. I now show a pic of dollars withdrawn from GTB on my way to Sheraton Abuja to change them, they say I am proud.

You do one, dem go talk. You no do, dem go talk. Success attracts jealousy.

You need to take a chill pill bro. Success is a journey, not a one day thing and if you see success, don't be jealous. Simply ask humbly how you can replicate it and it will be shown you.

anitafancis:
Dear readers please mature advice and no insult pls..


Am going throught a difficult time in my life and needed help badly, to cut the long story short, I met this man throught a friend i was living with, she introduce me to this guy saying he has money and he will be able to take care of me, I had no choice because I needed help and the guy has the money to give..

I started dating him and he gives me money a lot and promise to get me an accommodation which I did believe him of course. I got pregnant for him and he told me to keep the pregnancy which i refused but my girlfriend told me to keep it that he may even marry me. After five months plus, he started changing towards me and telling me he doesn't have money anymore. When I try to talk about the situation at hand, he gets angry and even tries to hit me..

He does not give me money anymore, he is always drinking and smoking.. I couldn't go for an abortion because I was scared and it's too late for abortion. I came home after service on sunday and found out that he was not at home and he has packed all his things and left an empty house for me. I cried throught out that day. Where am I going to start from with almost six months pregnancy? I later found out that he's married and he has 3 kids..

What am I going to do?. Pls advice..

Have your baby and move on...Ohh lest I forget, I hope you have a means of income. Women like you really deserve what you get. You were after the man's money, he was after your body. Once he had your body, he was done.

God has clearly instructed us to zip up till marriage so as to avoid these situations...una no wan hear. Then you come boring us here with these stories that have happened so many times to so many people and you wonder why people prefer to learn from their own experiences rather than other people's experiences.

Madam, let me advise you. Go and get a skill and make your own money. And work on your mindset. Any woman in 2015 still waiting for a man to take care of her is not ready for the new millennium. Such a woman belongs to the stone ages when women were commodities to be bought and sold. GO AND LEARN A SKILL, CHANGE YOUR MINDSET AND MAKE YOUR OWN MONEY. You have a baby on the way now. Don't let that baby bear the brunt of your mistakes.

For the dwarf goat project: read this...

- "I have already published a book about this goat but it is getting negative reviews. I need somebody who can write a book that will get 5star reviews."

Now who measures the parameters by which the job can be said to be one which will attract a "5-star review"? These sort of projects with nebulous targets are the type that create lots of problems.

That is why I clearly said, people should not just start opening profiles and bidding left and right without skills and without training. You need to be trained to identify, then avoid trap projects that will cause frustration! There is more to this than meets the eye. I did not make all those thousands of dollars like that. I had to get trained.

forubiz:
I have signed up at upwork.com. what next@victor @stagger.

Acquire a skill that you can sell on that site. That was my secret. When you are that good, no one will want to know your country of origin. Skills speak!

Pidggin:
Well I don't have too much to say, for newbies please don't let yourself be carried away by some lies being posted here. The truth is it's not quite easy making money via freelancing especially when you identify as a Nigerian. It's hard work like any other job you get IRL. All this people posting several thousand dollars am just wondering which client will offer a Nigerian that much. Good luck everyone.

Keep wondering...while the God of Shiloh keeps blessing!

The manual is sold for N5,000. If you want it then you should use mobile banking to pay for it. Simple.

softapples:
Wearing of trousers by Nigerian ladies has generated a lot of controversies. People have continued to argue if the practice is sinful or not.
Ladies on trouser?

While some churches welcome and promote it, others preach against it. Those who are against it base their stand on Deuteronomy 22: 5, which says: “The woman shall not wear that which pertains to a man, neither shall a man put on a woman’s garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God.”

Churches, which do not condemn wearing of trousers by women, believe that grace has put an end to such law.

Some people, especially young females, decide the church they will attend based on whether wearing of trousers is allowed or not.

So who determines what pertains to a woman or man? What were our forefathers wearing in the 18th century? Were they wearing clothes or green leaves?

Society determines what the fashion is. Jesus Christ and the Jews did not wear trousers in their time. They wore gowns with ephods because that was the dressing and culture at the time. The bible did not condemn wearing of trousers by women. No mention was made of trousers because God knows that societies, cultures and dressings evolve.

Where the problem is, is when there is display of nudity. A woman can wear an ankle length skirt and slit it all the way up to reveal the full length of her legs, while another woman may wear a trousers that covers her up appropriately and not figure hugging. Between the two, which is preferable?

I have not even shown you my account snapshot from all my freelance accounts. If I open my Payoneer transaction PDF document from the last 6 years, people will faint here. That is why when Elance was coming to Nigeria for a seminar in Lagos four years ago, I was given a specal invitation to come for that event.

Those who think I will sell an ebook on this are joking. It will not happen. All I will advice you is this: forget about opening any freelance accounts. First things first. Go and acquire a skill and move up the freelance food chain.

OCTAVO:
Replying me after 10 months? You try wella. Thanks.

No vex o. It must have been an omission.

Smartlife:
If you and Victor can't provide proofs of your earnings to make us believe what you are saying, then know that you are wasting time. No guy here will buy your ebook or whatever. Beware

I don't need to sell an ebook. How much will I make from that? Really?

The starting point is: what skill do these guys have? If you have no skill you will be earning peanuts!

But if you have real skills, employers will come with thousands of dollars begging you to do their work. I made $50,000 from a Latvian company on Elance in 2013 alone. That company alone paid my rent that year and a jeep I bought.

You have to be on top of the food chain. All this talk about profile building without skills is a waste of time.

I even give 10k, 20k jobs to students because I am too busy now and work with few high paying companies now. There is even a php developer I know based in Lagos who has done more than 700 jobs on freelancer. When u reach that stage jobs will be chasing you, not you chasing $2 per 500 words peanut butter change.

OP how much have you made from those sites? I challenge you to show snapshots if your earnings. Nobody will come here to talk balderdash about what they have not practiced.

I was a special invitee to the Elance conference in VI some years back. I can tell you that I am sure u have not made up to $1000. If you have show us or tear down this thread.

Did you frankly expect that those girls would be moved together from one place to another?

So ur parents do anal sex?

Ky Jelly is used when there is no time to waste waiting for the woman's juices to start flowing. No time eh. Sometimes you need to do it sharply especially when tank is too full. Abi u no know?

Mine was different. It was xmas time and we were all in the village, parents and all. My room in our family house is close to my parent's bedroom. One particular night my wife and I were really at it. She was riding me in all manner of ways and we were really making lots of animal noise. The orgasm was so hard that she just fell on top of me and we slept off in that position stark naked.

Only for me to wake in the morning and stepped out to greet my parents "good morning" as is the custom and my father said: "brother, next time you and your wife should go easy. Your noises did not let us sleep..."

I was highly embarrassed as me and my dad never talked sex matters at all; it was some taboo topic in our house.

meforyou1:
I wholly agree with Akpabio on this. Those traffic lights the former FCT minister hurriedly installed as he was about leaving in Abuja are not working. And those that are working give inappropriate signs that 2 drivers from different directions might actually be obeying the lights and then collide.

You and your master Akpabio are first class liars. The traffic lighst are all working, from the ones at Gwarinpa to Maitama to Apo and other areas. I drive around the FCT everyday and I can testify that the lights are all working. Akpabio should own up and apologize to Nigerians. So if they were not working, shoukd his convoy be speeding across junctions as if there are no other road users there? Nonsense!

pabon:
Akin Alabi...
The dude that has made many poor Nigerians poorer. I really admire this dude sha. He found a way to get the interest of many Nigerians with white elephant promises and then collect the little they have. Anyways, there still are people who make it daily on nairabet and have even made it their full time job.

GodSaveUs!

Everybody knows the house always wins. Yet people prefer the shortcut method to riches by gambling. Did anyone point a gun at their heads to click those computer buttons on Nairabet?

funmijoyb:
using mixed race in our national team is a disgrace to Nigeria what's d meaning of all this?

Bigot. Go and search Reuben Agboola who played for Sundrland and Swansea. He was an integral part of the Super Eagles team that qualified for the World Cup in 1994. He got injured and had to be dropped from the squad.

Which one be mixed race? He is Nigerian. Ikeme is a Nigerian name. If you dey jealous the guy because him na fine bobo, go hug transformer.
