I work 21 hours everyday and the monthly salary is 950,000


Since you said 16 hours, I guess it won't work.

I don't mind Sir . I'm interested

I need a job that allows me to work 16hrs daily Monday to Saturday under supervision.
I'm computer literate and experienced educator and research assistant. I hate degree in Biochemistry and I'm a trained website developer.

I like working long hours with minimal rest.

I will be 25 soon, and this question has been weighing heavily on my mind. I am a React.js, Node.js, and WordPress developer, and I can confidently build real projects such as dashboards, APIs, full websites, and custom plugins. These are not just tutorial clones but things that actually work and solve problems. Yet, despite all this, it feels like my skills are slowly wasting away. Everywhere online, especially on Twitter, LinkedIn, and YouTube, people constantly talk about how remote tech jobs are everywhere and how anyone with the right skills can land one. My own experience has been very different, filled with endless applications, repeated CV edits, portfolio updates, and long periods of silence.
Being based in Nigeria adds another layer of frustration to this journey. I am not a beginner who just wrote their first line of code, but I am also not someone with ten years of industry experience or big-name companies on my CV. Most local tech roles I come across are either poorly structured or severely underpaying, sometimes offering salaries that barely reflect the effort and cost of acquiring these skills. On the other hand, remote roles seem to exist in abundance online, but accessing them feels like trying to break into a locked room without the key. You apply, you wait, and most times you never hear back.
This situation puts me in a difficult place mentally, especially as I approach 25. At this age, you start to reflect deeply on your choices and wonder if you are truly building toward something meaningful. You ask yourself whether you are on the right path, whether you should keep pushing, or whether you have been deceiving yourself all along. It is not just about money, but about validation that the time, discipline, and sacrifices are leading somewhere. Watching others online celebrate job offers and dollar salaries while you remain stuck can quietly eat away at your confidence.
What makes it even more painful is knowing that the effort is real. The hours spent learning, building, fixing bugs, and improving are not imaginary. Still, the feeling of stagnation persists, as if you are running hard but not moving forward. It is deeply frustrating to put in the work, do what you were told was the right thing, and still feel stuck in the same place. As 25 draws closer, the question becomes harder to ignore: are remote tech jobs truly abundant, or are they a mirage that only a few ever get to touch?

Dear Talented Techies,

We have completed the initial assessment (Stage 0) of the submissions for the 3D Ludo Game Challenge. Our primary criteria for this stage were compliance with the "single HTML file" rule, basic functionality, and whether the board correctly represented a Ludo board.

We received a total of 68 entries. Unfortunately, many excellent attempts had to be dropped due to not meeting the core requirements or suffering from critical visual glitches. If your entry was rejected, please check the decision log for specific reasons—most common issues were incorrect board layouts or non-compliance with the single-file constraint.

To those who passed: Congratulations! You are moving on to the next stage of assessment where we will look closer at gameplay, code quality, and "sweetness."

Below is the status of all processed entries:

Thank you all for participating and showcasing your coding talents!

Best regards,

Are you judging on desktop or mobile

Hello,

In the interest of shining a spotlight on the coding talents on Nairaland, we are conducting a series of challenges.

The first one is a 3D Ludo Game challenge. This requires you to use AI to help you create an enjoyable Ludo game in a single html file using three.js via CDN to display the game in 3D. The Ludo rules are up to you to decide but must be made clear to the users.

Steps:
Develop the game as specified (single html file) using git for source control.
Push the source code to a private github repo before the deadline.
After the deadline, make the github repo public and post it on this thread for assessment.
If you touch or make any change to the repo after the deadline, you'll be disqualified.

Tips:
Use a powerful AI Like Gemini 3 Pro (free on Google AI Studio and Google Antigravity) for planning.
You will be graded based on everything that makes your game superior to other entries.
Such as the unique features (very important), code quality, UI, and the sweetness of the game.

The prize for the best entry is N250,000. The runner-up gets: N125,000.
The deadline is 10:00am Nigerian time on Thursday, the 18th of December, 2025.

Good luck!
Seun (Founder, Nairaland)

Hope the process will be transparent

malali:
Why didn't he expose Emefiele ?

Because Emefiele was not hindering his business

malali:
Is he really a good business man or someone who thrives on government subsidies, concessions and forced monopoly ?

Sorry Sir
But are you aware NNPC owns 15% of the refinery.
Are you also aware Dangote in Nigeria's Largest tax payer
Do you know of the Dangote Foundation.
Are you saying Dangote should give government the refinery to manage so they can destroy it .
Dangote also built cement factories in Zambia and other African countries.
Would you rather be built the refinery in another country?
Lastly, Sir, what do you have against Dangote?

helinues:
Stick to the volunteers without making this look like a scam. You better remove the account details before the mods will ban you

Thanks done

helinues:
Donation? Hahaha do what you can with what you have and allow others to do theirs willingly without asking for donations

I also need volunteers too

Myrrhis:
Give what you can.

Let others do theirs in their own way.
In this day and age, everyone is being careful of being extorted.

Thank you

Hello everyone,

This Christmas season, I feel strongly led to put smiles on the faces of about 100 wonderful children at an orphanage here in Kaduna. My plan is to visit them with music, fun activities, warm sweaters for the harmattan, and a sensitization session that will add value to their lives.

We also hope to organize a small Christmas quiz competition, where the winner will receive a scholarship as a way of encouraging and rewarding excellence.

To make this vision a reality, our budget stands at ₦850,000.
So far, I have contributed ₦100,000 personally, and with the help of kind-hearted people, I have already raised ₦300,000 in donations. That means we are almost halfway there.

I’m humbly reaching out for your support whether in cash, materials, or volunteering your time. If you live in or around Kaduna and would love to join us or contribute in any way, please kindly drop a comment.

Let’s make this Christmas unforgettable for these children.
Every support counts. Every act of kindness matters.


Thank you and God bless you richly.

budaatum:
Show where you have done this before, or at least evidence you can please, for credibility.

And why is there no place to send donations to?


Its omission screams authenticity, funny enough.

I'm careful not dropping my account details unless asked for. But now that you mentioned it I will add it

We just recently finished a pad outreach for girls in one of the government schools. If you would like pictures
