The medical mistakes as narrated by other Nairalanders is scary because why would you prescribe tramadol to a septuagenarian? Also, why does UI lack a unified patient profile system? Why use files in 2026 to collate information about patients? That's the number one abi number two public hospital in the country o

As for traditional medicine, it works as I have witnessed it. It needs greater funding so we develop better practitioners and better efficacy.

I read that tramadol part before and I shook my head, even at this my small age, If I take tramadol, I fit kpai. Imagine a 70+ year old woman.

The spiritual angle came up because some said (no concrete evidence to support it) that he aspired to contest as a candidate for the governorship position of Rivers state.

However, the wife was with him and he even praised her when it happened. So, I was surprised many accused her of deserting him. I even thought she was still with him sef.

She could have thought the issue would only last for a while, everyone has their threshold and she probably reached her limit.

callmeDDD:
His wife dragged the hell out of him then because her point was that when his career was booming, he hardly sit at home, bond with the kids, have time for her and the worst thing, flock around women and "carrying them" anyhow without apology. She accused him of being a chronic womaniser and always rub it in her face which made her depressed for years. Now when the sickness started , all of them disappeared leaving her alone to take huge chunk of responsibilities to take care of him. She even called out names of his sugar girls that abandoned him. When she couldn't bear it anymore, she relocated to the US with the kids. Such is life.

This reads like more of the actual sickness was caused by the wife spiritually or through a poison that damages the brain, a payback for all those years. There is a huge probability with this statement here that is the one in charge of the problem.

SCMP is big in Hong Kong and Asia in general. I see it as a pro-Asia/Asian-owned NYTimes. Are you willing to pay to have it published? Sorry, I am not too versed with the media companies here, as it requires native fluency to read through them.

Yeah I am, but I also want to be careful because it is supposed to be a review of the app & not a sponsored post. That would look more authentic

Gerrard59:
The Gigazine you mentioned is actually a Japanese company. Have you also checked out companies based in Hong Kong and Singapore? Since it's your industry, I suggest you find out more "Gigazine" blogs.

Thanks, I have just written to two of them, South China Morning Post & Hong Kong Economic Journal. Hopefully will get a response. I had to send two emails each, one in Cantonese and another in English just in case.

Gerrard59:
You will have to contact them via email or fax. But would the publication be in English or what language? BTW, what topic?

Try the Japan Times as it's English friendly. Contact from all sides: Twitter, Email, voice calls. Do so during working hours in Japan, not where you're based.

Nice to see you again.

Thank you, so it's for my Startup. It's a mobile app that does private voice transcription on your phone without always needing internet, plus some other features like direct AI connection to question your notes etc. So Gigazine did a review on it in March on their own accord when It was still free to use, now I want to do actual publications on it as it's now a premium app. Here is the Gigazine link shortened: https://shorturl.at/IKEDm

Surprisingly the app got so many users in Asia, so I want to focus more on that side.

Gerrard59:
In Northern Nigeria, yes. In Southern Nigeria, not explicitly so.

Hey bro, how are you doing? It's been a while.

I need your help, I want to make a Blog publication in Japan newspaper website or a blog website in Japan. I got one in Gigazine Tech Blog (based in Mainland China & others), but I need one for Japan, if i find it affordable.

airsaylongcome:
That has already been done. See the icon on the top right in the screen grab

Yeah thanks, seen it now. It's not perfect but its better than nothing

I grew up poor in Nigeria, so I learned to guard every little thing I get. Life was hard, so I always think about tomorrow. I worry I may not get money again. That feeling made me keep everything to myself.

Since I moved to Chile, that mindset still follows me. I am very careful with money. My girlfriend even told me I am stingy. That surprised me.

Bro, spend this money nau. You can't finish spending all this money you're making. Spend it

Create a sample and upload it for members to critique.

Fixed.


Where can I find the smart developers? Are you one of them?

Boss please Implement a dark theme, there is a chrome extension for black theme i use but a proper black theme for NL would be nice to have.

Next....
1. Micro animations/interaction.
2. Being able to sort comments in a thread by number of likes.
3. An upvote on posts so that posts that get like 500 upvotes automatically get featured on the front page or so - democracy feature 😝

You'll be amazed that this small change he did took him like some weeks of testing all around the forum, It looks like a simple change but can take time to ensure nothing breaks overall.

What manner of useless team is this PSG? How do you go from conceding one goal in an entire tournament to conceding 3 in the final? Luis Enrique and his boys deserve better flogging

No they underrated an opponent, that's all that happened

Vickiechuks:
I’m in my 30s and seriously considering transitioning into tech as a software developer using Flutter. I’ve developed a strong passion for it, and I’m committed to learning and growing in this field.

However, I’ve had some people tell me it might be too late to break into tech now , that the industry is saturated and opportunities are harder to come by. That has left me feeling a bit confused and discouraged.

I truly want to make this work , both because I love building things and because I want to earn a good living doing what I enjoy.
Is it realistic to start a Flutter developer career at this stage of life? Any advice, encouragement, or tips would mean a lot.

Thanks in advance!

Yes, but learn both React Native and Flutter.

You have enough time on your hands.

You need to get a job as soon as possible so you won't end up a full-time philosopher.

dominique:
But you don't have a family. Imagine if everybody was like you, the human species would have become extinct

Jesus did not have a Family either and you are still going to church

Google Play Developer console is tied to a Gmail account, so why would someone sell that for you?

So why not create a Google play account, hire 20 people to test your apps for you as Google Play requires for new accounts. 500k will get you more than 20 University students willing to test your app & you will have your own account under full control.

clive2u:
Before I got a laptop I got a lot of people ready to guide me through tech but once I purchased a laptop all the people became busy or something. Even web3 I got offer for the person dey use me dey play. I need guidance on this, I need to learn at least one skill before the end of this year.

The reason you haven’t learnt yet is because you are not serious enough, you have other options for survival. When a student is ready, the teacher will appear.

tensazangetsu20:
Yes but if one can’t get a tech job in the USA. Where else will they get it?

You will, but as this thread is referring to someone just starting out their career in tech, it is tougher to do as a newbie. A junior in US searching for job at this time will most likely not get.

Nigeria still hires juniors now because it's a developing nation. So I'd advise people to stay in Nigeria & learn very well, do as many internships as they can because nobody will give you an opportunity as a Junior once you step outside Nigeria.

Also, the technologies popular in each country differ. For example, right now, it is Flutter that is popular in Nigeria due to Google's constant sponsored meet-up events. Then React for frontend. One time it used to be Laravel PHP.

qtguru:
Yes but let's see depends on the pay , but you're right about seniors posing as juniors , but the pay doesn't usually help as much.

The pay is poor in Nigeria but at least juniors can get a role and build their CV from there, in the UK I haven't seen any Junior Software roles since January. It's either you see a Mid-level role with 5 years plus experience or Senior. Nobody is hiring juniors again as far as I know. The bar is too high now.

tensazangetsu20:
This isn’t true. If one can’t get a job in the USA, where do they want to get it? China? Europe? Where exactly?

Tech hiring is in its lowest right now in the US, and companies are still laying off people.

qtguru:
Nigeria ke, haven't worked for Nigerian tech in 7 years or so, no one is striving to earn naira as a techie.

But the tech ecosystem in Nigeria is much friendlier. Newbies with good portfolios can easily get jobs, unlike outside Nigeria, where you compete with a supposedly high number of seniors posing as juniors because they have no jobs. Tech jobs are even at their lowest in the US now, anyone traveling to the US now for a tech job should just forget about it.

Gerrard59:
I understand your point, but the blame lies on the person who promised and failed. He was not forced. Maybe it is as a matter of personal principle or upbringing, but I do not promise what I cannot fulfil. So people who promise and fail dishonourably come across as dishonest to me.

I agree about the principles part.

Gerrard59:
Delta abi Bayelsa? So it is true true she has a child for a politician? Chai! Couldn't she have gotten someone who isn't a politician (married one for that matter) as a one time Wizkid ex did? I think the lifestyle our moneybags shower on these ladies gets them so accustomed that they cannot below what is now the new normal. As beautiful as Nengi

You're correct, it is Bayelsa.

About Nengi, you simply don't understand the mind of an average socialite in Nigeria, the life they live cannot be funded with legitimate earnings from business or an investment, people who work for their income do not waste it. Their lives highly require someone who STEALS money.

The highest cash recorded publicly Dangote (Richest Black man) has spent a lady is $15,000, and it was claimed he had “insultingly” offered $15,000 and another $2,500. In fact they lamented that he was too stingy with his resources and the money given was for hush money, to keep things silent. It was all over the news in 2021. Just Google all I'm saying, it is online.

Which is why I do tell young folks not to listen to any woman online or offline about how real "high value man" polished them with cash, houses, trips etc. Nobody does all those without being a fraudster or corrupt politician.

By the way, Wizkid’s ex also married someone involved in fraud. He was arrested by the EFCC for alleged internet fraud, bailed himself out silently with cash, and has since kept a low profile to avoid attention. Photos of him holding EFCC placards are widely available online.

Do not let anyone fool you about high value Nigerian men, most of them are into fraud!

Gerrard59:
I tire for most of our men. They promoted OS on TwitterNG but started lamenting about Sophia and men who patronise sex workers. These are the same people who campaigned and promoted babymama but now complain that women are deliberately becoming baby-mamas.

The hypocrisy is something else!

You need to fully understand the complaint before making judgments based on assumptions, no one is lamenting about Sophia. No one is truly concerned about Sophie, what people find outrageous is the expectation of receiving a Lamborghini costing (£191,564) in exchange for a one-night stand. Dangote (Richest Black Man) will not purchase that, he works for every penny his has albeit monopolistic in his business dealings. Unlike politicians who can easily afford such luxuries using stolen funds.

Burna Boy has a management team and does not have absolute control over his finances. He cannot unilaterally authorize such a large purchase without management’s approval. He works hard for his money. While Burna Boy did buy a car for his ex GF Stefflon Don, it was approved by his management because she was publicly acknowledged as his partner. This is the reason why the ex GF Stefflon Don termed him a "Mummy's Boy" because he was constantly prevented from wasting his resources on frivolous things.

As for Nengi, she is being dishonest in this situation. If she is proud of it, she should own up to it. She has been seen with this man numerous times, and people in Delta state are well aware of their long-term relationship. She should embrace it just like Regina and others have.

This post funny die

The most interesting point about this whole conversation is that, both the feminist, non-feminist & those who fully believe in traditional roles all want men who are ready and willing to pay all the bills. Be a traditional man etc.

So for a man, there is really no difference. They all want the same thing.

The biggest cue which I tell everyone is, during dating if that lady doesn't buy you anything TANGIBLE with her OWN money for you, she is never going to contribute anything financially in the future. The cue has never failed, once you access your life & can't point on any tangibles received. It's time to go.

Language and racism is a big factor there.

Finland is europes most easternly country at the northern hemisphere, they are not used to having coloured people or high level of migration there and you may need to learn their language to get a good job. Fluency in the language is a key factor in finland.

You are likely better of in germany or holland as they have a high level of migration from countries with coloured people and many multinational companies that would hire a fluent english speaker with limited knowledge of the local language.

I know a nigerian who had to relocate to another country after many years trying to break into the white-collar economy.

In Helsinki the capital of Finland, all of them speak English along with their mother tongue so I really do not see the problem. In Germany too once you leave Berlin, you have to start speaking German.

Try to avoid “my friend said” or “someone said”, google out and research this information by yourselves. Go to Reddit and ask Africans who live in Finland, they will tell you. Even in places like UK, to break into white collar economy is very hard. It is hard every where. I am not pro-Finland but it’s a top economy for jobs, that’s all.

Suicideboy:
Estonia and Nordic Countries nko ??


abi tech jobs no day there

Salaries in Estonia are very low, I wouldn't go there. Apart from Finland, I wouldn't advise going to any other Nordic country based on job experience.

tensazangetsu20:
Which work Dey Finland 😂😂. Na mistake you use add that one there or what. Nigeria is even better than Finland o.

There are so many Tech jobs in Finland actually & they pay well comparable to Germany, The only issue is that the place is super cold like Russia.

If you check LinkedIn & Glassdoor for title "Software Engineer", you'd see so many job openings.

You can confirm yourself by doing that now.

tensazangetsu20:
Sourcing my daily bread. I am on vacation now but men when school resumes in march it’s gonna get crazy again😭😭

@GlobeTrotter2. I'm really interested in migrating to Brazil but don't even know where to start.

Education is probably off the table cuz I'm 27, dropped out of Uni because of some sh*t. Went into some business with an uncle and now got savings of about 10m. Went into front end development last year and got a remote job that's paying a bit okay. So yeah, I'm financially stable. But due to some reasons I can't go into, I've got to migrate to a decent country.


What are my options? I've only seen people talking about education and giving birth as the only legal means.

Probably a late advice but don't go anywhere YET, I know it feels like everyone is moving so you seem stupid not to move, but that would be a "financial mistake" to move at this time. You are working remotely, therefore it means you can save some funds for a while. Move your funds to dollars and purchase some ETF Stocks with it like S&P 500 on Apps like Bamboo, Cowrywise or Piggyvest, it will most likely earn some value in years while you plan yourself very well.

Keep working & saving your funds, get more experience up until senior level before you choose to leave Nigeria. Tech is brutal outside Nigeria, you are competing globally with Chinese, Indians etc. A lot of companies do not even hire juniors outside Nigeria at all, In fact most people who claim to be juniors are intermediary level already. Those guys from Indians and Chinese are not playing around at all. Interviews are so hard too.

- If you can try and get an Undergraduate degree first before leaving Nigeria & ensure 4 years in school, It will favour you more than applying for such in Brazil.

- Research on Germany Opportunity Card, you will need around 24,000 Euros to apply. It allows individuals to come to Germany without a job offer and stay for up to one year to search for employment and enables part-time work (up to 20 hours/week) while job hunting.

Whatever you do, do not make the mistake of moving to countries with Digital Nomad Visas BUT do not have actual prospects of Tech jobs. There are 5 major countries in Europe for tech jobs, (UK, Germany, Netherlands, France & Finland). If you move to any other country in Europe, you have yourself to blame. Portugal looks nice on the Eye, but there are no jobs.

Acidosis:
Does Nigeria really have a viable tech sector, or is it just people in tech-inscribed T-shirts with laptops hopping from one remote work hub to the next? I mean, our tech industry is basically a glorified game of "brilliant minds" with Wi-Fi.

When we're actually ready for a real tech industry, we'll be calling on the government to build a proper industrialised environment for real tech companies - think mobile phone manufacturers, satellite companies, robot factories - basically, places with actual addresses, not just free Wi-Fi and coffee.

How can we talk about a tech industry when we still import ordinary POS machines? What is you people's idea of tech? Free WiFi, website design, coding, and crypto? Walai, we are not ready.

As always, we always want to jump the process. How can we talk about modern day tech without proper industrialisation? After learning to code, what next? Look around you, apart from banks, who your coding help? Schools still struggling to pay minimum wage or market women??

We actually do! Every thing that made me what I am today, I am grateful to Nigeria for existing structures that enabled me able to learn it. It is much much easier to break into Tech in Nigeria than EU / Canada or USA.

In Nigeria we are allowed to make mistakes, change career paths etc. Once you leave Nigeria, It's a tough struggle to survive. You are competing against the World population.
