Some of them require skills

There is creating e-learning content for LMS platforms, it's a niche and fetches money on freelance platforms, another skill is knowing no-code tools.

There is a remote platform catered to just no-code tools such as Bubble, Webflow and others

I always just tell people google Upwork freelancers, there's some skill like setting up Zoom for people making some Nigerians money

Interesting. Do you know of the Mendix platform?

No I did not delete. Maybe the thread got deleted or hidden.

Am I in that field? Not professionally, but I have a few screens in some locations in Lagos. Still trying to get my feet grounded there. Why do you ask? Are you a player in that space?

I'm not. I had a casual conversation with someone 18 months ago about digital signage.
Do you physically encode the content?

I saw a post of yours on digital signage. Did you delete it? Are you into that field?

Interesting data.
From this data sheet, you can tell that at least 70% of immigrants from Africa are Nigerians...theoretically, the factors driving mass immigration from Nigeria is not as prevalent in other African countries. On a second thought, from a country of over 200 million people, the digits up there are only a fraction. I think measuring by percentage would make a fare judgement.
Quick math, no of immigrants divided by country's population x100
From my calculation... 0.0096% of Nigerians immigrated to Canada in 2022.
Niger Republic only had 80 of its folks immigrating... so 0.00032% of Nigeriens
Looking at Ghana...0.0034%

Yeah, Nigeria is still up there.
Would love to see immigration stats from the UK and US as regards African countries, i'd prolly do a small research article to check this theory. Ohhh, I just remembered the thousands of undocumented immigrants travelling through the sea and other unknown routes... the numbers up there most likely reflect of the immigrants from the middle-upper class of said country (the ones selling their properties and leaving high-paying jobs). hmmmmmm thats something to think about..

Ps: i loved maths in school so....

Interesting. Most of the migrants were residents in other countries. So the figures change when you use Citizenship vs residents in Nigeria

Many people shouting "come to Jos", "come to PH", "come to Calabar" don't understand what it means to work online. Do any of those places have fibre optic internet? With dedicated speeds of 10mbps symmetric?

I don't see why anyone working online in Lagos will be bothered by the so-called stress.

PH has but Lagos got more options.

Very big fool, do you know what I do? Aspiring what? U think am like u collecting 100k salary & aspiring for 1M in one stupid company. Useless fool God punish u. I hate people like you in tech, so proud & foolish cuz of one stupid tin u can do. Fool I will keep bashing people like u from now till infinity. Keep coming to my thread, I have my hammer..

You seem to be worked up over some inconsequential comments. Sometimes you walk away, sometimes you work harder but try not to get upset. Use the time you want to use to "bash" him to "vibe" yourself.

The level of misplaced arrogance… for someone who has never faced a VO for a student visa interview and can’t get himself a school for study…

To the person whose visa was denied, please ignore much of the nonsense here.

1. She’s going for an MBA, considering the job she described, this fits. She describes being the managing director of a private company, getting an MBA would make perfect sense. The issue of courses matching doesn’t really apply… even doctors earn MBAs here.

2. The response to the financial part is confusing. What does it mean for an answer to be “vaporized”? The OP’s mother earns more than enough to cover an $18,000 deficit.

The most likely reason for the refusal is one the OP herself mentioned. Her visa interview was on the 4th and her orientation is on the 7th. There is no way to grant her a visa in time for her to meet that date. She would simply be turned back at the point of entry. She should have asked the school to give her a letter extending her start date and included that with her I-20.

No, VOs never tell you why you were rejected, they tell you to read the rejection letter they give you.

This is the danger with people thinking they know more than they do, simply because they read a few transcripts.

Well, everyone has become transcript analysts. What do you expect since all of us are ex-vos? Most times, I just laugh reading these analysis. I need it because my work is mentally demanding.

Koldfuzhion:
That's great to hear. I got DQ in Sept 2022, so was wondering how long I had to wait before getting an IL.

Congratulations sir. You're at the final lap of the race. Pre-covid USCIS/NVC was the bottleneck in the process but now the interview date is the bottleneck at least in the case of Nigeria. The wait time is longer than usual but things are catching up. You'll get your last letter, they just follow the FIFO method.

chibertha:
thank you
i sent you a pm

I'll find a way to check ma. It was a temp mail.

Koldfuzhion:
Has anyone received any invitation letters from the US Consulate in Lagos for the EB category recently? It seems they're issuing letters for IR/CR categories, but I'm not sure about EB. Any information on this will be much appreciated.

I don't know what you consider recent sir. Nigerians have never had it better this past year. Generally the num of EB visas issued was double the typical num. I know of a case in Oct and Nov.

Elites in the building pls update me on sure country for taxi work

There're many sure countries. The bigger issue is getting to your sure country.

sukkot:
thats kobojunkies modus operandi . moving the goalpost

ibkayee:
You should’ve seen the way he ran into my mentions angry like he hadn’t eaten since morning yet.

You guys will not kill me with laughter this morning. That Kobojunkie is actually a smart guy and he's skilled at producing persuasive arguments. However, he sometimes wants to be consistently inconsistent and inconsistently consistent with his assumptions.

Kobojunkie:
Abeg, spare me the bullsheet excuses abeg! They are old and tasteless at this point!

Young man, you're smarter than this. What is your point exactly? Wanting to engage in some Tuesday trolls or willing to be educated on diet and food?

Kobojunkie:
Abegi! Yet many of the 37% live longer than the Nigerian mortality age of 57, right?

The argument is not about Nigeria vs American life expectancy. They are several factors affecting the life expectancy of Nigerians. Generally, junk food is not good for your health.

Kobojunkie:
1. Story story....
2. Obesity is high yet mortality age is equally high meaning the fat are also living long... wow!!

Obesity reduces life expectancy. Let me burst your bubble. The US doesn't come in the top 30 countries in life expectancy.

ibkayee:
Yeah but ready made/fast food is also cheap and quicker. The convenience of it is what makes it easier to fall into the junk food trap.

In Nigeria I can also get a decent meal for cheap and QUICKLY instead of McDonald’s etc that like you said, aren’t as marketed in Nigeria as abroad.

You're right. I think you're like me that carefully selects food. I actually spend much on food because I opt for African food which is more expensive than the processed food which is not good for your health.

FelaSkye:
Is 10 million enough to leave Nigeria, people are saying it’s better to invest the money but the market is too risky. Is 10 million enough for Japa and which country can that get me into?

Thank you!

10 M NGN can pretty much get you to any country of your choice. The market has always been risky, you have to decide what you want. If you want to travel fine, if you want to invest fine.

NotsonewMary:
Eheen, so that’s why you’re no longer studying more abi? (pun intended).
Less studying, more money! Ooshey

Wow, you're so smart so you get the drift. It's time to settle down.

chibertha:
He has over 10 high impact publications in engineering they on his profile in research gate.
That should cover for no. 1 or what do you think?

For unknown reasons my post was deleted twice and I'm unable to make posts using my @studemore123 account. Maybe because it was very lengthy or I revealed too much info.

At this time I'll say follow the advice of @eakhilomen.

I just saw that you assisted someone with their application so you know what to do. You may also be aware that there's a shortage of Gas/Petroleum Engineers in the US. You have to put the dots together.

Determining who qualifies is not an issue but the "packaging" is important.

I wish you the very best.
