Yes.

Who will the housefly support if not the person with sores? In this case, the government of Osun. Both are bunch of criminals.

No wonder they were making a public announcement on radio yesterday to arrest anybody who wants to cause mayhem in Osun state, not knowing they were referring to Aregbesola...i was like, was there any major upheaval in the state? politics...

They have not banned me since I've started using them. I'm only ditching them for their annual fee...

PAYONEER: Why I Stopped Using Payoneer and What I Use Now. TransferWise Wise + Crypto.com

This post will be deleted soon. It's too precious to be be made public and free for that matter. Read it now or regret later.

Payoneer is a company owned and managed by a depressed and frustrated sets of people.

I used to use it some years ago. I still do, but as my 4th option. One day, I wanted to link my Publishdrive to it and they ended up banning my account after multiple attempts to link it.

When I was using it, I receive my Amazon royalties through it. My GTB was the bank I withdraw the money to, but they a terrible exchange rate — below CBN's official rate.

I lost lots of money because of this poor exchange rate. I'm glad they banned me — this pushed me to dig out better options.

While digging out other options, I called a female friend and created a Payoneer account for her with her details and that was what I was temporarily using to recieve my Amazon royalties for the mean time.

With this girl's account, she had her UBA attached to it and their exchange rate was worse than GTB. This made me to start using Paxful to withdraw.

With Paxful, I'll sell my Payoneer Dollar to someone on that platform and he will take around 2% or less of my total money and give me USDT.

I'll send this USDT on Paxful (they charge $5 per transfer), to my Binance account and sell it with black market rate (P2P) and make much more than using GTB or UBA to withdraw directly from Payoneer.

This method above was 10 times better than direct Payoneer to local bank transfer.

My Current Method

I have registered on sites that give me USA, UK, Canada, etc. account numbers just as Payoneer gave me.

I'll only reveal 3 of them (I have more than 6).

1. Dukascopy dot com
2. Crypto dot com
3. Wise dot com (formerly Transferwise)

These three above will give you foreign account numbers. How do you use it?

Typing...

Who is enjoying this stupid game that they think we are mumu?

All the back and forth is just a ploy for the hun hun hun, to increase pump price and remove invisible subsidy.

Artificial scarcity...wetin dem don plan...Good morning Banana Republic.

BluntTheApostle:
I remember my own first experience with a foreign firm on Zoom.

I had to study Brighter Grammar to sharpen my English. I did a lot more other things. I even did rehearsals, studied the job description, downloaded videos on YouTube.

On D Day when I found myself on the hot seat, I became a stammerer. Ordinary to say hello back to the interviewer, I was just stammering all over the place like a fool. I was like "em...you see...hope you get." The Oyinbo man was just looking at me as if I were an alien from Mars. Next thing, the blunders started flowing. These were blunders which under normal circumstances I would never make. Anyways, at a point, I was so helpless that I laughed. The Oyinbo's expression was like, "What the damn is funny, you fool!"

S[b]ince then, I have developed a phobia for interviews with foreign firms[/b].

Don't. They are humans like you. Be relaxed and flow gently. If you are too afraid, try and mimic how politicians speak.

scave:
I did my first foreign interview two days ago via Skype, [b]when I connected my ear piece with the laptop the lady couldn't hear me while I was speaking then I had to disconnect from laptop use my phone, na me no com dey hear her [/b]and it was a video call which she was recording, a time came I had to put the phone to my ear ontop video call oh, I just pray I get the job.

This happens often when there is a difference between the devices used. If I'm using the mobile app and you are using the desktop app, things may go awry. It has happened to me before during a video interview. We just had to result to same device spec.

What is this? Kindly mention the brand and specs. Thanks

WIREMIND:
Very very funny adventure.

This could have saved you.
Lol

What you should have:

- A good laptop with a good battery. If your battery is now bad, replace it from part of your earnings
- Know the strong network in your area, and study if there is a sweet spot in your house with excellent speed
- Get a Mifi of the strong network and place it in the sweet spot
- Have a standby generator or solar power source
- Have a good data plan, treat your work as a business, and take things seriously by planning ahead (no fire brigade approach).
- Be intentional about your appointments/interviews.

Nothing less than 7 million or what do you think?

BritishNaija:
Wait till you hear the price

Lol...if they can pronounce Schwarzenegger right, they should be able to pronounce yours right and other African names. But of course, we all know they are pretending and passing across a message that "you don't matter or we don't give a f.uck"

That's obodo oyinbo for you.

International freelancers can relate to that man's story. It's the truth no matter how some try to deny it. Change your name and country flag, and boom...orders, hires, and contract jobs stampede into your coffers in their multiples...

earthsync:
So these people can't pronounce Inien because it's difficult but expect us to say their name right when they be answering names like Saoirse Kowalski But can't pronounce Inien

Well, I will give Lenovo a thumbs up on laptops' battery life. Really good for someone into online work, career.

My Thinkpad can run 10 hrs on a charge. I don't code though but chrome and office apps are always on full blast.

Senegal, congrats!!!

Senegal lacks proper positioning...a lot of wasteful opportunities...possibly Egypt is going home with the cup. They just need a goal. Tired already. Commentator wan give me heart attack

In such a crucial game, don't give penalty kicks to popular players...rule number 1 to gaining points

Lol...it is well...vanity sha...love the muslim way

nedekid:
Its cost that much.
My sis buried her hubby at vaults and gardens Ikoyi. The total cost was about 30m. The land about 24m, other services came totaled 30m.
The space is like 15/15 feet.
You also have the normal grave settings, I think that one cost 8m.
You also have the ultra big man portions where you have the ojora Brothers buried. That part should be over 45m to be buried there. Big rich families have already bought their portions. I understand even the apc national oga that was once a gov of lag has his family portion there. Lots of big men too.
A C of 0 was issued.

Not up to that. Dem don inflate and loot the needful.

samwillyco1:
I agreed with you but they should have also agreed that they gave NIGERIA a bad advice that put us in this Present condition but I blame our evil politicians .
The so called world Bank adviced FG to remove fuel l subsidy in this critical time, World Bank is evil to the developing countries especially Africans.

Have you ever seen any good loan master or nice lender? Lol... Let's learn from all the loan apps we have presently in Naija.

Our problem is the inability to learn how to dine with the devil (it's actually with a long spoon, you know.

Do both. If I can, you can.

newoffer:
I am contemplating right now. Either to set up business or continue furthering education where employers pay 80k. Almost a shame

His skill is not needed here in Nigeria. Advise him to migrate to Scandinavian countries, especially those with natural resources like oil or Netherlands. Canada too is there. He will get the job and smile soon. But for this Nigeria, mo sorry...If you don't know one strong Senator Tanko, NNPC won't look your side.

thesmallgod:
That is not true bro. I have two of my colleagues that graduated with PhD in Chemical Engineering still looking for jobs for two years now. Recently, one of them told me about getting a 20k teaching job in a private secondary school. A lot is happening in the country

And why did you say Arts and Humanities are worst? Care to share?

GermanRemitaunt:
Many answers suggest some kind of entitlement for degree holders, that they will automatically get the corresponding, and hopefully we’ll paying, office / at least Junior management jobs.

This is certainly not the case in German, where I live, or France, where I’m from, especially in subjects with many more degree holders that well paying jobs. Arts and humanities are worst, languages not far behind, economics tricky enough to better have a plan b ready, especially if you lack connections.

Your typical sociologist or historian is more likely to assemble packages in an Amazon fulfillment center than to access one of the precious few paying jobs in his profession. And that’s ok, that’s why it’s called a market economy.

Gerrard59:
My issue is the Twitter Spaces created to discuss politics and they are so damn serious about it. I can understand someone like Ndi Kato aligning with the PDP because she believes the party will likely protect her interests of securing Southern Kaduna but not on Twitter! Elections have never been won on social media in any country!

Another funny one is Kinglsey Moghalu, God! What a comedian that he is. He is there doing a presidential campaign on Twitter?! Seeing his tweets are a comic relief to me sha.

Y'all should be prepared for Tinubu as your president In Nigeria, always expect the worst to happen. That should be your default state of mind.

What can you use to satisfy humans? Nothing. In everyone's eyes, they are the perfect one that can solve Nigeria's problems, even the person pushing wheelbarrow in Mushin.

The lady and other organizers tried their best. And we should give them the credit. Kudos. When a horse push you off, you remount it.

Instead of hiding away in UK and be babbling...

Life sha.

JuanDeDios:
Even in 2022, many Yoruba communities still declare Oro, which often involves human sacrifice. This is the tradition. We have to admit it. And then work to reform it. Oro, Eleku and similar "dark" traditions need to be reformed. We should be able to continue our traditions but reform them to eliminate murder and other acts of savagery.

lol...Oro doesn't involve human sacrifice, please. It is just "traditional practice" to ward of and scare away evil spirits similar to incense burning, evil, and bad elements.

Abeg, na you know that one o....Go and discuss with Prof. Tanimola to dissect the calculation for you

baralatie:

How is it measured in kilonewtons per square meters or meteres per seconds square?

The strength of the rod that makes it function with all alacrity

baralatie:
E tun gba de o!

Eyin omo nairalander engineering students!

E titun wa na gbede.o!

Abeg which is penile strength again

You people have turned it into properties of meterials and strength of materials

It depends on his age sha. Apart from ED, penile strength also declines with age. That is why sex pills sell. Those who are still having erections in this Buhari economy are trying.

Good food, less stress life, good bank account should also help. Exercise too, but you can't cheat nature. The 1800s man is stronger than the 21st c. own.

UyaiIncomparabl:
You must be suffering from erectile dysfunction to be taking the aforementioned herbal concoctions. Worse off, you are lazy in bed. Real men don't take all those. Start exercising and tell your wife to feed you good food.

It is true...anyone with high bp should abstain from sex-enhancing drugs and marathon sex. 3 minutes is okay

Lawalemi:
I know of a colleague that always recommend bp test before selling her drugs.

I never used to take her serious but now I know

Which Yoruba tradition? Even without the light of Christ, you and I both know those who do that are evil. Evil is not Yoruba's tradition. Regard and cherishing human lives are some of the Omoluabi philosophies. Human sacrifice is the tradition of those who are involved in dark arts. Since the days of human existence, we have known that even in a "holy nation", we have people who shed innocent blood to gain power, wealth, and influence (a minute percent of the population). This evil knowledge is passed to some in their conclave. It is a secret of the dark. That is why they are called ika (wicked).

I can't remember my parents teaching me that it's the tradition, nor his fathers before him.

Those who engage in such had to journey far and contact mediums (spirits), not even herbs. So, saying it is the tradition is inaccurate because there is no difference between them and musicians who allegedly sell their souls for fame in Hollywood.

JuanDeDios:
Yes, Ifa is against human sacrifice, but Yoruba tradition is not. We need to admits some truths to ourselves and work for reforms.

It is true. There is also a verse in Ifa corpus in Ìròsùn Méjì (I think) that warns against the fast lane life or get-rich-quick syndrome:

A fipá wá owó,
Wọn kì ń káádún,
A fi wàrà wàrà wá ọrọ̀ bí ológun,
Wọn ki n dọ̀la...


Those who seek money with violence (or by force),
Do not last the year,
Those who are hasty to gather wealth like a warrior,
Do not endure till tomorrow/future...





People should know there is a difference between Babalawo, Onisegun, Adahunse, and the rest. It is like a priest, an healer, an inventor, etc (Doctor, Pharmacist, etc.). Of course, some can double as both, but a genuine Ifa priest is not into ritual stuff. His main purpose is to guide you through the oracle what you should do to have a headway. Often, the instructions will not be heeded to, thereby, making some look for a shortcut.

Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams
.

Not everyone can obey spiritual instructions, no matter how simple it looks. Some require humility. Imagine being told to go into a business people look down on....
