why must they hire you/nigerians? Why do you think you have the right to dictate to them who to hire. Do they dictate to you in your own country? Even people in the same Uk with uk qualifications are finding it hard to get jobs.

Admin/ operational requirements could mean VPN/cybersecurity issues, slow internet, electricity.
Tax obligations- hiring tax consultants (not cheap) to do taxes as it involves international jurisdictions or to claim tax exemptions in uk.

Calm down! You don't post an advert stating that all locations are eligible to apply only to make a U-turn stating that my application cannot be processed because of my country of residence. If they make it clear in their adverts that Nigerians are not eligible, do you think people will waste their time going through such rigorous application process? Let me make it clear that I have the freaking right to vent because they wasted my time and I am not an asslicker like you appear to be.

Further more, how is it my problem that people are finding it hard to get jobs in the UK? Since that is the case, then why are they itching to onboard remote job seekers resident in other countries at the expense of UK based applicants? That must be the height of insensitivity, I suppose! But hey, since you know more than I do, could it be they are unemployed because they may have the qualifications, but lack the skills that UK employers are looking for? That's up to you to mull over.

And as for your last statement, we already know that some remote workers used to face challenges with electricity, slow network and other VPN related issues, but those challenges have been majorly overcome. So, trying to use that to justify the actions of your demigod Caucasians is the height of blind loyalty.

White people cherish their time, and I do to. So, they have no right to waste my time and expect me not to react. This has nothing to do with trying to dictate to them who to hire, but to point out a flaw in their system that needs to be addressed. They are not perfect, so, stop trying to make it seem like they are.

Nigerian employees are the worst kind. They will steal the profits plus the capital used as investment. But sometimes I blame these business for not carrying out a monthly or weekly stock.

Hmnnn

It's the audacity for me! To those condemning them, this has always been the case in Nigeria. You pick up arms and begin to terrorize people. Then the government agrees to negotiate and even compensate you. Niger Delta militants did the same, so abokis are only following in their footsteps.

Could you point to tax section for remote workers in Nigeria?

VAT, CGT which one applies?

A quick online search would help you.

Recently, I applied for the position of an Assessment Specialist at Cambridge International. For pointers, that wasn't my first time as they had been engaging Nigerians. To my dismay, my application was unsuccessful, and the email stated that they couldn't process my application because they cannot recruit from my country of residence for operational reasons. I sought to know what these operational reasons was about, and received another email stating that the decision was based on the following factors:

* Complying with local legal and tax obligations.
* Administrative and compliance requirements that they are no longer equipped to manage.

I wasn't really convinced about the reasons stated above, so I sought to know more about the labor laws governing remote workers in Nigeria, and the recent tax reforms introduced by the Federal Government. Here are some of the key things I noted:

* Nigeria's labor laws incorporate international standards.
* There are no laws regulating remote workers.
* Providing service to a foreign client qualifies as an export, but a remote worker does not have to charge for VAT.
* Foreign companies hiring Nigerian remote workers, but with no presence in Nigeria do not have to register with FIRS, and have no mandate to withhold Nigerian tax.

Though there are other laws under the new tax reforms, one thing is glaring: "these laws are focused more on remote workers and have little or no impact on foreign clients hiring Nigerians". This begs the question: So, why are foreign organizations rejecting applications from Nigerians, whilst citing compliance with tax obligations and other flimsy excuses?

As I try to wrap my head around this, I have come up with the conclusion that most of these foreign companies may have joined the bandwagons of foreigners who see Nigerians as no good, and are just been vindictive. They may also be jealous of the fact that remote workers earn in dollars and spend in naira; a luxury most of them cannot afford.

Whatever their real reason is for the sudden and frequent rejection of remote workers in Nigeria, I may never know, but one thing is certain: "most Caucasians think the world revolve around them and sometimes, an act of charity or service from them is actually a personal aggrandizement of their delusional superiority". They feel only them have the power to make the rules, while others are expected to follow them without questions. Unless I see an official document that makes it stringent for foreign clients to hire Nigerians, I still maintain that the issue is more personal than administrative.

People should stop making it sound like 'beautiful women' earn on a platter of gold without doing nothing. These women are subjected to all sort of sexual abuse before they are gifted a benz or a house. The truth is, most women with dignity would rather choose to work hard than engage in what most of these girls are doing to earn a living. These women have no qualms sleeping with animals, multiple men, and eating poo just for the money.

Recently, I came across a woman who once had a sexual encounter with a snake, orchestrated by an Alhaji she was dating at the time.Today, she is married and I can't help but feel sorry for the unfortunate husband. So,when next you see that pretty girl flaunting a nice car or chilling in a posh apartment, don't envy her because she paid dearly for it.

bewla:
By ugliness can't you see if you not beautiful men hardly look at you this days

Most especially if you no get yash

Are you talking about Nigerian men or men from other planet? Is it not Nigerian men that are sleeping with dirty mad women, babies and imbeciles? They must have a weird taste, I suppose.

There is more politics playing out in churches than in government. The church is a den where hypocrites are having a field day and if you raise an eyebrow, you will be used as a scape goat.

Huh! This is crazy! It was a cold blooded murder, and could have even been premeditated, so there is no justification for her pardon. Criminals always feel remorseful after they are caught, and using that as reason for her pardon is totally ridiculous. If her death sentence is not commuted to life, then the president might as well pardon every remorseful criminal who is a parent because their children are missing them too. Obviously, the president was advised wrongly and he should do the needful by commuting her death sentence to life in jail.

An update to this news says the woman has been exonerated, but Nairaland boys are still trying so hard to paint the woman as a murderer. Smh!

DBestDoc:
This Op, nobody is forcing you to get married. Please leave women, marriages and the happily married men alone and face your exciting and happy singlehood.

I have read many of your posts on Nairaland with keen interest and have come to the conclusion that marriage may likely not work for you because you have a very poor mindset about it and women in general.

Every now and then, you create topics asking married men if they are happy in their marriages. Those with positive responses are mocked by same you and your kinds on nairaland.

If you’re not asking the married men what their regrets are in marriage, you’re posting about paternity fraud. So much negativity.

Leave people’s marriages alone and face your life. You can as well go be a baby daddy or marry a man, these are also options to be explored. Just don’t go close to someone’s daughter for marriage.

All the best!

It gives the OP the feeling of schadenfreude whenever he hears that people are not having a good marriage. If he wants to remain single, why can't he do so in peace and let others enjoy their marriages. I may not be thrilled about something, but will never try to dissuade others from experimenting it to make me feel good.

Double0h7:
What if they are satisfied?

You only want the negative bashing so you don’t have to feel bad about not being able to find a wife! 😂😂😂

You just spoke my mind.

The shop you bought it from probably bought it from a major distributor and should not be blamed for it. Recently, I bought a fake olive oil from a shop. I was shocked to see that the oil contained 95% of water. We are doomed in this country!

I don't get it. Is this supposed to be an achievement? The kids don't even look happy.

rydow:
A guy here called Babasolution (has his handle). Real name- Stephen Ademola Ayantoye has scammed me ooo.

No be the 5k wey he collect pain me, its the fact that someone will collect money under a false pretense, and eloped after been paid.

I'm not angry, its just 5k, but I'm warning others to be aware of his tactics.

For those that will ask what happened:

I needed someone to edit a podcast into video, the person I was in contact with has went for NYSC. So I saw his post and commented. He reached out to me on whatsapp hours later.

We talked, and agreed on 10k. He wants all 10k, and I said since I dont know him or seen his work before, ill do 50% upfront and balance when he's done. Dude Agreed. He said he will be done with the editing by noon.

I paid him and immediately he received alert, thats when he came up with me paying his balance before he start work. Anyways, he stopped responding to text since then and didnt answer his phone either. Yet he didnt refund me.

Its just crazy how Nigerians behave! They'll destroy anything for 5k. 😃.

Again, I'm not angry, just warning people out there to be careful of him

Lol...You are a generous buyer. As a seller, no one has ever paid me first before doing a task. I have never even had the balls to ask anyone for advance payment first. I always complete a task, deliver and hope to be paid. I was scammed a few times by some buyers, but just moved on.

I can bet on my life that the guy has zero skills in the task you paid him for, but you fell for his trap and sent him free money. I must confess that I admire his ability to trick you into paying first for a task he knows nothing about. Anyways, just move on because you have been scammed.

There could be more to the story than just Twitter rants. It is possible he was owing the friend and thought the dude had written the debt off. As soon as the friend got hold of the funds, he decided to take back his money. If his friend truly betrayed him, then he should start by telling us the amount involved and posting his friend's name since he is supposedly a criminal.

Sequel to the post Made here about two weeks ago. We've finally found her corpse. I'm really disheartened. My heart is really heavy.

It's so sad that the corpse of my relative(f) who was kidnapped, had just been found dead.

This is one of the most dastardly, inhuman, evil, wicked and heinous acts I have ever heard.
She was killed and buried same night that she was abducted. She was buried just behind her house, she wasn't taken anywhere. They buried her in a shallow grave same night. We all had thought that she was taken away. This has never happened in our community. My village has no mobile network, no electricity, not even good roads. We drink water directly from the river, no boreholes. It's a village in all sense of it. It's the strangest thing ever heard, done and seen.


How did they find out?

Two Men in the community were chosen and financially empowered to seek spiritual help to enable us get to find out her whereabout, they met a spiritualist in a different location who asked then to go back home and search her backyard thoroughly. They got back and did as instructed, only to find a shallow grave where she was killed and buried.


This sad event occurred in Benue state.[b][/b]

Sorry for your loss. When I read your first post, I assumed the village you were talking about was in the east. If it happened in Benue, let me also assume, (based on your previous post) that it's a village in zone C. It will be a good start to disclose the village so others can give you the right advice on how to proceed with the investigations. But it's okay if you don't want to disclose it.

I am certain many people asked her to forgive, forget and manage the guy like that because men are scarce and getting married is difficult and considered an achievement. Women are really suffering in this country! Kudos to her for sending the philanderer to hell where he belongs! He should marry the traitor since she is good in bed.

Kobojunkie:
I was about to point out to the OP. OP, please take note!

A man should not be considered exceptional for doing the bare minimum that any man and father of his own child should be expected to do. Same way, a woman should not be considered exceptional for doing the bare minimum that any woman or mother should be expected to do. 🥱🥱🥱

Lol..Kobo Kobo.

YoungBTCxchange:
dey play, nobody discriminate pass oyibo, how many times you don see for news say young oyibo man is getting married to Old cargo ?
My brother no let anybody deceive you, some oyibo get bad like Nigeria girl's o.
Ask any of your friend way dey school for there

Because it is not considered a big deal in the western world. Age means nothing to the average white men, and they can settle for any woman regardless of her age; unlike our Nigerian brothers who are fond of age-shaming women. Of course, not every white man will settle for an older lady, but the majority of men will, and that is our focus here.

On the other hand, how many Nigerian men will agree to marry an older Nigerian woman, not to talk of those old enough to be their mothers? The reason these news flood our screens is because we know the guys are just getting married for the green card and nothing else.

At some point, he felt untouchable. Now, he is shedding crocodile tears and expect people to pity him. This reminds me of men who sexually assault children, but when they are caught, they will begin to plead for mercy. I have zero pity on him, and wish he gets the maximum sentence.

That serves him right! Though the judge was lenient with the judgement, and he will be out of jail in less than 3 years. I hope he becomes a better person by then.

Omoawoke:
It’s just a natural order , male chase female across the animal kingdom

And men aren’t superior to women

It’s not a competition… no one is weaker..
Both have their differences, including strengths and weaknesses

There are some things women are better at doing than men and vice versa
So best is to find a spouse that is compatible and work together, not compete against each other (modern feminist devilish ideology )
And a woman ought to be submissive to her man! (A good man though)

And many men may chase a woman, but when it comes to marriage and giving a woman a family name, the man makes the decision! And the girl that gets the ring is like winning the World Cup… like she literally won!!
That’s why girls scream and celebrate when they finally get the ring… (out of many girls competing for that ring, he chose you!)

Choosing someone doesn't mean you like them. I have seen men get married to women for ulterior motives. So, why should a woman be overjoyed simply because a man chose her? Osinachi's husband chose her, remember?

cr7lomo:
U are the one justifying nonsense..... u always wanna blame men for women's bad behaviour.... why only reprimand the person that reacted.. why not the person that started it.. a man would not act the way Sultana did cos men are more respectful than women.. women always feel entitled an very unapologetic...

There was a task given to them by Big brother.... Sultana decided to abandon the task to play snooker ... she dint contribute to gevtSk despite faith asking her to leave what she was doing. .. after faith the others had gone far with the task , she appeared and took the bucket that was used for te task and wanted to now lead and take control .. faith dint agree to it and asked her to return the bucket, she refused and instead started walking away with the bucket. ... and u wanna justify that??

A bucket that was used for a task and didn't belong to him. Was he the only one in that group, and why didn't the rest react like he did? He wanted to prove that he was a macho man and paid dearly for it. I like that he was booted out of the house. It will serve as a lesson to aggresive men like him who can't control their emotions.

OBTMOS:
This must be so hard on her!
I pray she finds a man that will at least put a smile on her face and make her feel less lonely!
And may God direct her path bcus this situation can lead her to anything.
Sad indeed.

How many men treat their women well, talk less of an orphan who has nobody to fight for her?

But, how is it wrong for a lady to sleep with her ex before her wedding? I thought you guys said any girl who is advanced in age but not married has a bad character? So, if you decide to marry a girl with good character, why are you complaining that she slept with her ex or still sleeping with her ex? She is only displaying her good character which you should be proud of.

Omoawoke:
Men are the prize actually

A mantra crafted by men just to make them feel good and superior to women. If men are the prize, then why do they do the chasing 99% of the time?

APOPTOSIS:
For those who respect, listen, desire and willing to come under the tutelage of men, may it be granted unto them their heart desires. But for those who want to do so for neighbor sake or for publicity, most especially those who detest men with innate hatred, labeling them dogs, may they never have anything to do with men.

For those who have nothing else to offer besides making babies, not even a wise counsel, may they keep searching. However, for those who are ready and have got a lot to offer, may their desires be granted unequivocally.
Singlehood is not a crime, rather also a means to a peaceful existence too.

How can they come under the tutelage of men when most men have nothing to offer? :-

Omoawoke:
I am not shaming single women, only saying the reality

A woman prefers to have a man in her life… married or dating than being single.
It’s the sad reality.
So unfortunate there are some women having terrible time ma in marriages, same goes for men too.. there are men who have become shadows of themselves after getting married to the wrong women.


But the fact remains, women will rather prefer to have a man in their lives than being single.. it’s one singular achievement that they aim for.
Every woman wants a good man! I repeat- They want a good man in their lives…. No doubt about this…

So does everyman. Infact, almost everyone wants a good friend, sibling or kid in their lives. My question is, why do you people make a fuss if a woman wants a good man in her life and act like men are the prize?

Omoawoke:
Are you a woman?
Do you have a man in your life?

See, I’m speaking based on first hand experience with ladies that are doing very well for themselves and are single

When I mean doing very well, they are very successful in their careers, independent and classy… forget all the show to the public, there’s no single of of them that their only accomplishment left is finding a husband. And some times they ask the rhetorical question “is success the sacrifice to having a man?”
This is no capping, all women want someone to call a man!

Do you know how sad it gets when they have to buy themselves flowers or gifts to celebrate Valentine or birthdays.
Or when they travel solo or do girls trips…. When one of them finally gets a husband, that one leaves their group of girls like she has found gold.
And they begin to envy her and pray for their own husbands

Funny how you use the women you know (who are less than 1% in population) to form your opinion. Funnier how you think that getting gifts from men is exclusive only to married women. How many Nigerian men remember their wives birthdays or even buy them gifts? How many of them are romantic enough to buy them flowers on Valentine?

There are women who are married but single! They prefer solo trips, and would rather do things alone because they married a jerk. If a woman you know feels unfulfilled without a man, then that is her problem. There are thousands of other women living their lives without a man and they are happy. How many women in Nigeria have a good marriage? Just a handful! How many of them want to get out of their marriages? Many, but they can't because they are scared of being judged.

You people use marriage to shame single women to the extent that I overhead a mad man the other day ranting that he never wants anything to do with a Nigerian woman. If your so called 'successful female friends' are desperate for marriage, why can't they use their money and influence to find themselves a partner? What are they waiting for? I will tell you why they are single. It is because the men who come their way are nothing to write home about.

For what it is worth, as a woman, there is nothing wrong in wanting the right man to spend your life with. But it becomes a big deal when single women are shamed for it and made to feel like men are the prize. A prize that brings nothing but sorrow to a woman may not be worth it afterall. On a final note, if a man feels unfulfilled without a job, then why make it a fuss when a woman feels unfulfilled without a man?
