Redoil:I've been doing that, no head way yet. |
I got a job late last year in a Nigerian startup firm as a web designer on a 150k salary. We initially had a bit of back and forth cos the boss wanted me to work onsite but I insisted on working remotely because I couldn't afford relocation to Lagos at that time. Over six months down the line and it has been a terrible experience. I've been paid just twice in 6 months, and we have not been working since the middle of last month due to a scarcity of funds. I wonder what would have been my fate if I had relocated to Lagos. Some months we work for just two weeks or thereabout, I work beyond office hours and even during weekends. There was a period my boss would keep me awake at midnight working. I just had to comply since I haven't been able to get another job and the freelance market isn't smiling either. I'm constantly broke for someone that is supposed to be earning 150k, even though it's not much but it should be able to sustain a single guy. I'm really confused at this point cos I feel very much unemployed. My boss would read my messages on WhatsApp and lock up. I've asked him to update me on what's going on because I feel jobless and left in the cold. He viewed the message without a reply. I don't know how to proceed from this point and would appreciate any advice now because I am slowly sliding into depression. |
HolySpiritFire:Hello I can help with that |
. |
Writing for this guy is a waste of time, it's more profitable for you to sleep instead of working for him. But as country hard he will still find desperate people to prey on. |
Quite true though, got a job last year in December and till now I haven't gotten a dime as salary...I wish to quit but it is as good as kissing my nearly 450k goodbye...I am no different from an unemployed fellow, starving and depressed while I am working ![]() |
IyaTola:I'm a fresh graduate this is my first job and it's turning into a bitter experience |
A job that I percievd as a miracle job is turning out to be a nightmare. I got a job in Lagos last December as a web designer for the firm with a pay of 150k. The job was supposed to be hybrid but since I couldn't afford relocation we agreed I work remotely pending when I will be able to relocate. This is the end of fabuary and I haven't received a dime, the man has simply refused to pay me and from his body language he's not going to pay. I contacted the HR and she told me the man isn't responding to her messsages or calls about the payment matter. He has stopped viewing my messages on WhatsApp or taking my calls too. The guys that referred me mentioned something about him treating the predecessor same way and adviced I take it as employment fraud and walk away from the job. The issue is I've put efforts and resources into the job and I cant just let go of 300K like that. I've been borrowing to fuel my gen everyday to work and other expenses. My rent is expired and landlord had been on my neck to pay up. A lot of stuff is hinged on that money. It's been from one flimsy excuse to the other. Please I need suggestions on how I can get my money from this man, I have my appointment letter and he's a lawyer. Mods please help me push to front page so I can get wider contributions |
DrOladipo:Baba how we get the pdf?? I registered over a week ago but no show till now |
Bro you even tried...left for me I would have even left her there to sort out her issues, these kind of issues never end well. You are indeed smart. |
DrOladipo:I've registered on your site but haven't gotten any mail, also sent you a DM and you haven't replied either |
Good morning all, please what advice would give a newbie. I registered last last year but no gigs yet. I'm into technical writing but I also have a bit of web dev experience to JS level coupled with WordPress though my profile is structured around content development for now. I really need to start getting gigs because Nairaland outsourcers have really dealt with me, I recently discovered that one was paying me #3/word for a crypto project while he was getting around #20/ word from his upwork client. Please gurus in the house help me out. Pocohantas...qtguru |
Originalsly:Words of wisdom...thanks Exactly the same direction I was thinking, I observed she doesn't like me talking about any lady or woman in my life. |
Justbehave:I even thought I was communicating with someone reasonable, I don't have time to exchange insults...bye |
Justbehave:So I come here to detail her autobiography for you, I only added it when you pointed it out |
peepydelano:Una too get wahala for here...if girls bill you call them leeches, the few ones that are considerate and show concern you tag them pretenders. Someone that her dad stays abroad and sends her monthly allowance cant save 15k again. |
Justbehave:Oga chill, una too dey para na me be the OP |
NoToPile:The babe is nice naturally... I cant count how many stuffs she has dashed one single mom and her kids in my compound. |
pyyxxaro: you funny abeg, I no be Tony Umez,I am just concerned that she's reading meanings into a little act of kindness |
Justbehave:Oga there are students that come from well to do homes...I don't know the kind of ladies that you surround yourself with that makes you think every good looking lady is into prostitution. |
mariahAngel:She said I shouldn't send for the girls either, that the spiritual warfare of her children is her concern. I still plan to send the cloths to my sisters, I doubt they will forgive her if she stops them from wearing them cos I know all ladies loves cloths and these ones are too fine to be rejected. |
So I've been dating this lady since early this year and everything has been going on smoothly, in fact I even had to tell my mom about her, the first time I would talk to my mother about a lady, but she sounded not too pleased about the lady. Someone she hasn't even met physically. I've two younger sisters between aged 17 and 15, I didn't like the way they were dressed the last time I visited home so I always try to send them a token every month end to get new cloths. This Xmas I have a lot on my table and have been brainstorming on how to structure my expenses. My babe is an only child and a fashion freak so she has loads of cloths in her wardrobe. She offered to give some to my sisters without me even asking. She gave me over 30 different pieces of cloths, and bought an ayaya gown or whatever its called for my mom worth around 15k. This is a student that doesn't even have a reliable means of income and I don't give her much. She opened up that she has been saving to get my mom a gift. I called my mom this morning to tell her that I would be sending the cloths over with some other stuffs I bought for them and she outrightly rejected the girl's gifts citing spiritual reasons that she cant accept gifts from someone she doesn't know. She even accused the girl of trying to pressure me into marriage by pretending to love my family. I am 30 years old and have dated countless ladies and none has showed genuine concern towards my family like this particular one. It would be so heart breaking to tell her that my mom rejected her gifts knowing how she enthusiastic she was gathering those items. Sometimes I get tired of my moms spirituality, she's not considering that my sisters even need those items. Those cloths worth over 50k even as second hand materials. I don't understand why she would dislike someone she hasn't even met before. How do I handle this situation, I don't know what to do with these items, I can't return it to my girlfriend cos it will really hurt her. |
Abeg I need rug at clearance or giveaway price...not centre rug |
Samskid310:0214980892gtb S.O Thanks |
Sekoni003:Lamao... I don't have any inferiority complex, I never noticed all those till I went for the party. On a norms those stuffs don't really bother me |
A close friend of mine invited me to a birthday party he threw for his girlfriend a couple of days ago. I initially declined the invitation but reluctantly agreed when the girl called me personally and pleaded with me to show up. When it was time to get ready for the party, a peep into my wardrobe reminded me that I had no outing cloths. I hadn't gotten a new cloth for over 4 years. My sapa induced introverted nature somehow masked my need for new stuffs because I hardly go out. A sad reality hit me hard in the face... My two jeans and three tee shirts were badly worn out, no shoes either. I shaa dressed up and left for the party. I immediately regretted my decision of honouring that invitation immediately I stepped into the venue. I looked so out of place... Guys were all dressed up in nice cloths and latest gadgets, I normally don't let those kinda stuffs bother me but I felt terrible that night. I sat at a corner observing things till my friend's girlfriend came and yanked me off my seat to take pictures with some of her friends. A friend of hers used an iPhone with three cameras at the back to take the pictures, didn't know the model since both 12 and 13 looks similar. I went and sat back at my corner till the photo guy came and offered to transfer some of the pictures to me... I hesitated because I knew I didn't want to see the pictures but the guy was persuasive so I gave in. If only I knew the embarrassment that was lying in wait for me. We proceeded to connect to xender, that was when my antiquated camon CX air that I've been using since 2017 decided to show himself. My phone kept rebooting on its own endlessly till the guy got fed up and left. I was super embarrassed. My friend still came today to transfer the same pictures to me but I objected vehemently because I looked miserable in all the pictures. I codedly observed guys in my compound dressed up for church and Sunday outings and came to the conclusion that sapa has been my best friend for a really long while. HAPPY SUNDAY |
AbujaClient:My number is on the thread, chat me up |
market01:You will have to pay for hosting and domain though |
My friend clocked 30 years few days back but instead of making it a day of celebration he wore a gloomy look throughout the day. When I quizzed him on the reason if his dull demeanour, he bluntly told me that he feels like a failure due to the fact that he hasn't achieved anything at the age of 30. His case is not different from mine, I would be 30 in a couple of months and I had to stay back in the state I schooled after graduating last year due to the insane pressure I would be getting back home. I've had to survive on a 30k unstable job. I and my friend aren't alone in this boat, a look around reveals many young men in this age range especially the ones with humble background struggling to make a head way in life. My 2010 secondary school mates recently had a reunion and only about 30% of guys were quite comfortable, most of the ladies were married though. How can this vicious chain be broken in our society? There's a painful iteration of poverty been passed from generation to generation in some families not due to lack of trying because hard work seems not be enough anymore but lack of connection and to a large extent luck. Most guys eventually gets tired of struggling and gets married there by extending the cycle of poverty. Please the society should cut us some slack, most of us are already depressed at being broke at 30, we are doing our best to better our fortunes. All we need are opportunities and a bit of luck. A small yahoo boy that can barely string a decent sentence together insulted and called me all manner of despicable, derogatory and unprintable names just because a girl he's chasing is having a crush on my broke ass. |
It's not in my nature to bother about people's relationships but this is happening to someone that's like a brother to me. He has been dating a girl for a year now and it's obvious this girl doesn't love him but he won't just give up. He keeps throwing money at her in a bid to win her love. Things got messier when this girl met a particular guy some months back... This guy happens to live in the compound of my club mate so I know him well. The girl has begged my guy to free her that she's in love with someone else but this guy no gree instead he's planning to attack the innocent guy. He confided in me that the girl has not let him touch her since she met this other guy, that's over five months now. I once overhead the guy boasting to his friends that he's a redpiller because someone else is taking care of his girlfriend while he does the knacking free of charge. He's even flexing everything that my guy buys for the girl. All pleas to my guy to free this girl has fallen on deaf ears. My club mate told me that the girl has been with the guy for over one month now, my guy comes to town once a week to see the girl, gets her stuffs and this girl will just go back to the other boy that is even jobless. My guy is finer and far richer than this new guy, he's planning to start a business for this girl and I've been trying to change his mind to no avail. It's no longer normal, I would've said he's charmed but the girl has begged him to free her but he refused. The guy is even the one flexing the sample of the products he sent her. Everything she has done to drive him has failed so she just relaxed and enjoying the money. This simping is on another level, it hurts me to see my guy in this kinda situation. I've gotten him picture proofs that the girl is cheating but he won't change his mind. The girl even admitted that she's been having sex with the guy buy he's claiming its a lie and the girl is trying to drive away. Is there anything I can do to help him abeg. |

Some years back during my university days I think in my 200 level, I met this very pretty girl that I really liked. I hate being friend zoned so I made my feelings known immediately, she liked me too but she was in a serious relationship with a guy she loved very much. She wanted us to remain friends which I vehemently objected to, my ultimatum was we either date or we go our separate ways. It really hurt her but she had to let me go, we seized communication though she would reach out to me sometimes complaining of how I've abandoned her and all. Fast forward to a couple of years later during our final year, the guy tragically lost his life in a student union power tussle. He was poisoned few weeks after winning an election. This girl was shattered, I've never met someone affected by the death of a person so badly even among the married folks. She lost weight drastically so much that she could easily be mistaken for a AIDS patient. She was simply inconsolable. The guys death affected her so much that she failed several of her final year papers spilling over in the process. After our graduation we somehow connected back together again, she wanted us to have a relationship but she was clearly not over the late boyfriend. She still referred to him as "my boyfriend" and could barely make four sentences without finding a way to rope his name in. She did everything to get me back but I wasn't feeling her anymore, she would spend days in my place cooking and doing laundry and all but there's no way I can be competing with a dead guy over a woman. She pleaded with me to help her to get over the guy but I am not cut out for that kinda task for the sake of my sanity. I had to cut her loose once more. She posted on the guys anniversary recently and I'm not sure she has ever poured such encomium on a living being. I wonder how the present guy would feel seeing such post. She's still very much in love with the late guy and unwilling to let go. Please don't be like Will Smith, discard any lady that still has feelings for an ex whether living or dead... It doesn't end well. |
