By optimize your profile do you mean add projects and the likes?
Nazgul:
Microsoft outsourced their MS365 to upwork to manage cos they were trying to cut cost. So Upwork hires and pays contract staffs for those roles

The thing is Upwork as a company isn't hiring Nigerians anymore, but you can still get MS365 gigs on upwork through clients.

Just optimize your profile, purchase connects and apply. The good thing about this niche is that it's not over crowded so you might just get lucky and land a job.
HealthRe: Is This Normal? by V9er: 8:55am On Oct 14, 2025
Good day boss, how work na?
Wanted to ask if upwork is now hiring Nigerians, or if you know any company that is. Na from person Dey Dey get job.
Thanks boss
Nazgul:
Remember I told you earlier that upwork doesn't employ Nigerians for MS365 technical support roles anymore.

The job is managed by upwork themselves not a client on upwork. So until they start employing Nigerians, there's absolutely nothing you can do for now.

As for projects, if you have other skills which you can defend, you can include it on your profile as your strengths. You can even create a specialized profile that would highlight your specific skills.

Let's say you're into graphics design, you can include YouTube links on your profile to showcase your previous jobs to prospective clients.

And if I'm going to be honest with you, even with all that, the odds that clients would reach out to you is 50-50. Because your profile has no reviews. So you have to keep applying.

Truth is upwork is expensive and can be frustrating for newbies, cos at some point you might have to buy connects, upgrade your membership, boost your proposal...etc.

But if you're lucky enough to get a job, then another, and another, and have good reviews on your profile, that's when you'll start enjoying upwork. Cos clients would start inviting you to apply for their jobs.
Christianity EtcRe: Archaeologists Discover 1,600 Year Old Mural Of Jesus In Egypt by V9er: 8:37pm On Sep 02, 2025
Africa is a continent with 54 countries. For the most of African (western, central and south) Christianity was indeed bright by white Christian colonizers and missionaries. Egypt and Ethiopia are simply exceptions, just two countries out of the rest of Africa. So yes Christianity was brought by the white man to MOST of Africa. Again Egypt and Ethiopia are just two countries
SarcasticWords:
They told us that Christianity came from the white man for two reasons:

To make us feel indebted.

To destroy our self-image, making us think all Africans were pagans and uncivilized, living like uncontacted tribes in the bush.

But the Bible shows otherwise:

In Acts, during Pentecost, people from many nations heard the good news in their own languages and carried it back to their lands.

The same book also records that Philip preached to a man of Ethiopia, a eunuch of great authority under Candace, queen of the Ethiopians.

This proves two things:

Christianity did not begin its spread from Europe.

Ethiopia had a queen, showing that not all Africans lived primitively.

I greet you specially baba iLegendd!
I Dey come this thread once once and I see your doings. I’m not a crypto trader, I’m a simple man, I see Bitcoin, I buy. I’m a bitcoin maximalist through and through. My core mantra is Hodl, but it’s really enticing knowing I can sell most of my stack to buy back later next year. As a fellow btc maxi, why don’t you just hodl over selling and buying back? How sure are you about the top of this cycle?

It'll most likely happen or worse, it stays stagnant and happens in October, then immediately recovers.

Thanks Chief. I'm done with my training
Really appreciate
Nazgul:
These are some of upworks MS365 roles. Unfortunately, none of them are opened to Nigerians for now.

The 3rd Pic was my advice to you last year. Of which you responded that you're learning it to invest in yourself.

The best you can do for now as an MS365 support engineer is to build your LinkedIn profile and search for roles in line with your skills. You'll definitely find companies looking for cloud engineers.

I always figured that they don't give lands to people that buy small/cheaper lands. Pesin still use company buy land they still rip them.Do you know anything about meritabode

I am telling you as someone affected that they do run a ponzi scheme. The format of selling land probably no longer works, so they are looking for a new format.

Welp, I guess I was just super hyper and didn't read in between the lines of your replies last December. That probably explains why his price was half what he quoted to you. Once again body bin just dey shak me sotey I no fit comprehend and money full hand that period lol.

So to my understanding, there is no chance of getting an M365 technical support role on upwork?
The proposals have to be on other job roles meaning totally moving away from what I learnt?

Thanks

I promised to update you, I'm done with Exchange, teams and most of SharePoint. I paid and started January, but I had my final year exams. I finished my exams that January and I could finally learn but that was when my trainer got a new job, so as at now the guy no really send me. I've registered on upwork, bought connects, set up my profile and everything, but this is new territory for me I swear.
What did you fill as projects and employee history before you started applying for jobs?

Thanks again boss

Just come to an agreement with him. In Nigerian business negotiation is allowed.

Hi,

I hope you're doing well. I'm reaching out because I have an online M365 Admin interview coming up soon, and I'd love to learn from your experience. Could you share any tips or insights you have about the interview process?

Specifically, I'm wondering what types of questions I might be asked during the 15-minute interview. Any guidance you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

HealthRe: Is This Normal? by V9er: 5:22pm On Dec 22, 2024
Thanks for the heads up. It's a skill I want to learn, I'm trying to invest in myself. Of course getting a job is the end goal but it's not Paramount for me at this stage. It would be nice if it were to be you leading me o as I like your person and school of thought.
But anyhow Sha, I'm down. I'll like to talk to him
Nazgul:
Getting him to teach you isn't the problem. The problem is getting a remote job after paying so much money. The link he gave to me for the job I'm currently doing has been blocked I posted it on my diary.

I want to give you the heads up now so that if you still want to go ahead with the training I can send you his contact. But I'm not guaranteeing you any job after learning. So that tomorrow you won't start calling me out on nairaland.
HealthRe: Is This Normal? by V9er: 5:08pm On Dec 22, 2024
Idk if it's too much to ask for your teacher to also teach me. I wonder what he charges now

So I read your diary a lot, in February I shared your ms365 post with my babe and we talked about it, and now here you are in December you did good
I'm a big believer in someone holding your hands and teaching you just like the guy who taught you. If it's not too much to ask for your teacher contact. I'm down to pay and kick off

I've noticed that whenever I eat after 9pm upwards I usually feel very tired and sleepy most times I even sleep on the meal.

Just last night I prepared food and couldn't it until almost 10pm because I was busy. I was still eating the food when I started feeling dizzy and dozzed off. I woke up around past 1am this morning to find the food in front of me. I finish it sha.

I want to know if this is normal or it's a medical condition cos I'm already starting to get worried. Is anyone experiencing the same issue?

I wonder sometimes when people come on here and write vitriol like this for people to read ..I hope after writing this garbage you look in the mirror and reflect on yourself ,and ask yourself where did it all go wrong for me .
You are no better than these so called 'ghetto monkeys' in-fact your habitat is no better with the epileptic power supply and open defecation everywhere in your country...If you are in the US then count yourself lucky to have fled the country with the buzzing flies around your mouth..
CrimeRe: Thief Snatches Over 40 Iphones From Oakland Store While People Watch by V9er: 8:13pm On Apr 28, 2024
Nothing to see here, typical black man calling his people monkeys and coons. Just like his forefathers who sold their brothers . With over a hundred likes this shows how cursed the black race is
Jakumo:
Inner city ghetto America is home to swarms of illiterate blacks who only talent in life is crime, incarceration in prison, and premature death at the hand of their own gun-toting homies.

These ghetto monkeys are easily identifiable in their natural habitat because they ALL wear trousers that are three sizes too small, which remain stuck around the knees of the coon, who is then at liberty to display their entire buttocks for the world to see. Luckily, wearing one's trousers down around one's knees makes running away from crime scenes virtually impossible, thereby making the job of police officers much easier. The California law that limits shoplifting prosecutions to items valued over a thousand dollars triggered an epidemic of smash-and-grab crime in the Golden State. That utterly insane law needs to be repealed so that these thieving coons can be sent to jail where they belong, and where free food awaits them all.

Ultimately, the habit of displaying pricey merchandise within the grabbing range of ghetto monkeys will go the way of the telephone booth, and be replaced by the retail sales model seen with some shopping outlets in the UK, whereby customers are only allowed to view the product line in color catalogs available in the retail store. After selecting the item they want from the color catalog and paying in full FIRST, a store employee then goes to retrieve the selected merchandise from a secure back room storage area, which is then handed over to the customer waiting at the counter.

TV/MoviesRe: What Series Are You Watching Now? Part 2 by V9er: 5:04pm On Apr 24, 2024
I watched that the bear tille pisode five I no enjoy am one bit
oyaskii:
Shôgun (2024)

Why tell a dead man, the future?


I don't think i have come across an "FX" series that i didn't like and with Shôgun, they have raised their standard even higher!.
Stunning cinematography, Amazing set and costume design, rich story telling and compelling characters, all rolled into one, makes for a very good show imo, and this totally excelled in all that. I think, there is a total shift of sheer number of people genuinely interested on feudal Japan and the intricacies of Samurai politics, based off, on seeing this masterpiece alone.

It was like a poetry, everything meticulous and intentionally done , no words, no action was taken just for the sake of it. I can see why people where mislead to think, this was gonna end on a "bang", after all, all the build-up will suggest so, but alas, with was just a play on the juxtaposing culture clash of East and West, honour and ambition played out with wit rather than brute.

If one is paying attention, the show effectively ended at Episode 9, aptly named "Crimson Sky", that's when the true battle took place!, and so keeping with theme of a true poetry which I think the show is, Episode 10 is like a bonus, an envoi, the last stanza of a poetry, that ties everything together and gives a deeper and fulfilling meaning to the entire thing, let me cite some examples

Yabushige writes his will continuously through out the show, but at the last episode hands Omi a note and says "This is my final Will".

There was an episode where, Mariko, Blackthorne and Fuji seats, the first time a connection is made between all 3, this scene is repeated in Episode 10, but this time, is just Blackthorne and Fuji-sama and the semblance of heartbreak 💔.

And my personal favorite, in the very first episode, after learning about Blackthorne's ship, Omi asks Yabushige if he was gonna tell Lord Toranaga about it, to which he replies, "Why tell a dead man about the future"? , and on episode ten dying embers, Yabushige asks Lord Toranaga, what was the point of the entire ruse, and what actually, is his plans before he commits seppuku, at least he believes Lord Toranaga owes him that much, to which Lord Toranaga bluntly tells him..Why tell a dead man the future? before he chopped off his head.

That's why I feel the show runners stick a perfect landing with episode 10, and it's probably the best finale I have seen, since "Succession".

Mann, This show will pick Emmys for fun during the award season, and rightly so, FX has this, Fargo, and "The Bear", in their coffers, makes me wonder if these guys ever miss?.

A true masterpiece and might be a stretch, but it's probably gonna be my show of the year pending when HOD and "The Bear S3" both debut that is.

9/10.
