Please what do you guys use to buy connects on Upwork?

I’ve tried Grey, Eversend and Chipper cards, none of them was accepted by Upwork. I’m so frustrated.

Any tips?

Enskynelson:
Yes, you can dos whatever course u have this semester by next semester.
It won't affect your grade provided you don't sit for the exams.
I advise you drop the courses and the exams at the study centre so you can have your money back.

Thank you so much for your response. I sent you a PM yesterday, so I’d love to have your contact.

Enskynelson:
I means INCIMPLETE. It stands for incomplete results and this refers to courses whereby a student sits for exams and no TMAs or less than 2 TMAs or a student take TMAs and no exams. Go to your portal (nouonline.net) and check the result. Check under 'remark' column and you will see the description. NT = No TMAs. NE= No Exams.
As for your study Centre-related issues, u may have to reach someone at that place.

Hey man, thank you for all you do on this thread. God bless you.

Please I have a dilemma here, I have practicals scheduled to start mid next month in April, but the challenge I have now is that I’d be at NYSC camp during that 2-week practical period.

Someone told me I can do the practicals in 2nd semester (both 1st and 2nd semester practicals combined).

My question is: can I do it next semester? Will it affect my grades? Do I still need to re-register the practical courses in 2nd semester?

I apologize for the many questions but I hope you get the point

Enskynelson:
Have you done your exams registration?
When did you do your exams registration?
Hope you have access to your student's email before clicking the reset, otherwise, you will only be compounding the issue.

Alright, I'll make payment soon. Thank you so much

Please is anyone else unable to log into their e-learning portal?

It keeps telling me “invalid details”. I even tried clicking on Forgot Password and still same issue.

Is there something I am missing?

lexy2014:
what are the shadows that you say I am chasing?

were my questions meant to address anything or to seek clarity?

if you say that there an estimated 30k Nigerians in SA, how is that "already much even as a stand-alone figure"?

lets talk about the "undocumented illegals". how many are they?

You’re dumb and I am not here to engage you further.

If you have questions, kindly ask chatGPT or something. Your style of conversation is very annoying and not worth the stress.

Throwing questions around doesn’t make you sound smart.

FYI: I’m Nigerian

lexy2014:
you are not the one that made the initial statement of "Nigerians too much for south africa". so why are you claiming to know the meaning?

meanwhile, you have not answered the questions I asked?

if you know that the answer is on the internet, why didnt you answer the simple question?

when you say "Nigerians too much for South Africa", can you give me the population of Nigerians living in South Africa that makes them "too much"?

You’re just chasing shadows, your question does not address anything whatsoever.

There’s an estimated 30k+ Nigerians living in the rainbow nation and that is already much even as a stand-alone figure.

Let’s not even talk about the undocumented illegals.

Hi people, currently at the airport heading to Addis Ababa (waiting for my flight).

I'm going to be talking about my 2 month industry experience so far.. this will give every aspiring software developer a view of what to expect and whatnot...

I should start composing this month

jamznato:
God bless you. People like us who love computer and started since but lost interest. Pick up programming and abandoned it have been strengthened. Thanks. at least i can still find one honest and open developer here. Its no longer like audio things. Meanwhile this is one of the best thread in programming section not those hid and seek ones that confuse the interested future.programmers

This means a lot to be chief. Thank you for real

Bossman:
Congrats to you! Just work hard and be humble, and everything will work out well for you. Can't go wrong with your career choice. Even my daughter who is a Sophomore in college is taking a Python class this semester. My son who is a senior in college already has a couple of programming classes under his belt.

Best of luck!

Thank you so much Boss man, you're an amazing personality on here.
You've been inspiring us in case you weren't aware

Devdevdev:
Replying to yourself. Lol. At this point you should be considered clinically insane.

You should look for better things to do with your life than playing Sherlock Holmes on Nairaland.

I'm working, I'm making money, you're bothering yourself with what is non-existent. This will be my last comment on this thread. Have a good day.

CodeWithRemi:
Don't bother yourself, he's just a male version of Kemi Omololu Oluloyo. I remembered we were exchanging email then... You shared your CV with my previous account.

Honestly, this NL is one crazy place lol

I don't have strength abeg. Thanks man

Peterpan007:
Man I'm happy for you man...

I pray it favours me like this one day to

It will bro. Just keep the consistency (very important), that's what really counts. Don't ever get discouraged at any point in time, whether while learning or job searching. It just takes one YES to overwrite all the NO's

So people, I've not really been active on here, I apologize, work wan kee me lol

Soon, I'd be leaving the country for the first time (for work), and I'm super excited. My passport and visa ready, I need to do a COViD result test a day before the team leaves. Tech can literally change one's life, but at the same time, it has been so challenging lol.

My mental health was tested many times , but so far so good, I've been faring well. Thank you Lord!

Fourpockets:
Even if it's the same person, how does it have to do with anything trolling.
I've looked at both accounts briefly, it doesn't seem to me that anyone is trolling

God bless you bro. I just tire.

I logged in Nairaland (I've been inactive lately) only to see multiple mentions.. like na wa

I'm two months into my first dev Job and it's been challenging as hell, I don't even have strength for drama, honestly.

learning22:
Sincerely, when I started going through the thread created by alchemeyofcodes something in me was connecting the thread with the manoftheyear's thread due to ways they both write. I was even telling myself that alchemyofcodes got some of his motivations from the thread by manoftheyear

I got confused when I read the same comment you mentioned by alchemyofcodes under the thread by manoftheyear.

Anyway, since you are just connecting dots, he deserves benefit of doubt to an extent. Coincidence happens. At the same time your thoughts can't be outrightly ruled out.

You should be a part FBI I think

There is really no coincidence here bro, I don't even know the alchemyofcodes guy.. the problem with people on here is that they are too toxic to believe in good, real things.

Also, his assertion that my story could be fake due to my great writing style is just so funny (I'm literally laughing right now). No be me say make you no attend better primary and secondary school. Whilst he was playing football on the streets, I was always reading books as a child, so it comes as no surprise that I have great command with written English.

Omo, I'm too busy for any drama here meehn.. lol

I just came on Nairaland to see someone claiming my story is fake because my writing style was too good
No be me say make you no go school or make you no sabi English.

There are too many crazy people on this forum honestly...
What do I stand to gain that I would come here and post lies? Like what exactly? Especially since it's an anonymous forum. ** Sighs **

He even claimed I'm running another account, LOL. There would always be people who aren't comfortable with your success, even if they do not know you from Adam, that's why you must be careful whom you share good news with..

Best to keep things to yourself, I only shared my experience here because the forum is anonymous and I just felt like making a motivation out of my experiences...

I'm 2 months into my first developer job, I barely even have time to come on here these days.. Omo, y'all will be fine

Devdevdev:
I've been going through a lot of threads on this section to gain more insight on my chosen career. It's better to learn from the experiences of otherz.

Few minutes ago, I stumbled on a thread created by TheManofTheYear detailing how he worked hard to get a job as a front end developer as well as his technical writing gigs he got. This is the thread: https://www.nairaland.com/7100014/job-hunting-experiences-junior-developer

One thing that struck me was the writing style. It was too elaborate and very detailed. Almost like he sat down to carefully think about every single detail, as opposed to someone who was just writing his recent experiences. It struck me as fake. As a fiction writer in my spare time, this was very evident to me.

Well, as with most frauds, he made a mistake which to be honest I was surprised he didn't detect. He commented on his TheManofTheYear thread with his AlchemyofCodes account and posted as if he was writing on the thread he created with his AlchemyofCodes account. Obviously he forgot he was posting on his other thread and not on the new one.

Bottom line: Everything written by TheManofTheYear and AlchemyofCodes account are all made up. It's a troll behind both accounts. Probably an ASUU strike student who wanted to test his fictional writing skills and deceive everyone on Nairaland, well except me.

This adds up if you consider both usernames are written the same way and that both also write the same fuçking way; detailing cock and bull stories about their lives as if they were writing a diary. This is even the deadest give away.

Also TheManofTheYear was careful not to reveal his identity, even when people were pleading to chat with him offline. He also never posted a link to his GitHub or any of his projects that could reveal his identity

Na wa.. bro I just logged in to my account and I'm seeing numerous mentions..

Please do I know you? Why all these accusations?
I do not possess another account asides this. I've not even been active on Nairaland lately due to work stress.

C'mon bro, take this thread down please

jesmond3945:
congrats on your Rwanda trip. However, please dont be offended, I will advise you to limit how you give out company activities here. They might have their staff on this thread. Probably concentrate on software side of things. Accept my apologies for the injuries caused.

Yes, true. Thanks for the tip

Fourpockets:
Forgive me for being a little bit curious, but why is a company that hired you in Nigeria and that is based in Nigeria asking you to relocate to Rwanda

Not relocation.

onyeadurunujoel:
Yes, it was my sister that did hers and got it like in three days time

thanks for this info. That means I have to come down to Calabar?

onyeadurunujoel:
Lol its possible, here in calabar express won't pass one week

Are you serious??

Please confirm well ooo..

tensazangetsu20:
Na express I do wey E take me six months mbom I won't even bother just apply online and wait till it comes o. Sha do it before the next president comes in. Tinubu fit cancel japa o

sure thing boss. I would apply ASAP

Julius209:
How's your experience like?

They all welcomed me. I met the mobile engineers, backend engineers and the product manager...

Now I have access to the codebase and some dev environment stuffs.
Scared but I'm on work mode now lol

tensazangetsu20:
Lol once you get your first pay check apply for one. It takes almost six months to get a passport currently especially if you live in Lagos.

That's what someone told me now.
Omo, is there not a way I can get it expressly?

First day at work, first stand-up and this people are already talking about taking the whole team abroad

Me wey no even get passport.

DrLevi:
Very normal, It goes away after the first couple weeks.

Just breathe and you'll be fine

Congrats man!

Thank you my boss

chukwuebuka65:
Congratulations brother. But I want to ask, did you negotiate salary or they decided to pay 400k.

I renegotiated it, that's another skill on its own entirely lol.

gsparks01:
hey man... from one newbie who just started a new remote job as FE to another, CONGRATULATIONS!

My first day resuming, I wanted to run. I was so nervous and overwhelmed. I kept saying to myself, "won't this people find out I'm a fraud?" I honestly considered quitting. I just called people on the phone so I could get encouragements, and thank God, they encouraged me and told me it will be better; just stick to it and you'll get a hang of things. Someone categorically told me that in 3 months time, I'll feel the complete opposite of what I was feeling.

It's not even 3 months after, and I feel very comfortable in my role. I've gotten commendations from my boss several times. It's surreal to think I wanted to quit.

All these to say, you've got this! Go and shine!! Congrats again!!!

OmG this are the things I needed to hear right now.

Thank you so much for sharing boss. I'm grateful

truthsayer009:
Yeah no worries bro, you will pull through. My first job was to be a Web Developer using Yii2 Framework, I only learnt the framework one week to the Interview and got lucky to get the job at least. So I was just scheming my way through everything, some sleepless nights on Stackoverflow asking questions as a noob. Finally after 3 months, I became comfortable. Na so e dey be.

This story means a lot to me. I'm gingered. Thank you my boss

Fourpockets:
Ok, is the location Lagos?

Company is registered abroad but all team members are remote

Fourpockets:
Wow, I never knew they paid junior Devs that much in Nigeria. Is it remote and is the location in Lagos if it's not?
Congratulations by the way

There's no junior title in the role though.
It's just "Frontend Developer" lol
