Wow Rigby. I was in your shoes a few years ago.

Studied Engineering (5 year course). Found out I was having an extra year in my 3rd year.

How?

I failed 2 courses in the 2nd semester of my 3rd year. 4th year 2nd semester is for IT. Second semester of 5th year is choked up with courses. No space for extra courses.

Bear your burden like a man. I understand that pain when your peers are calculating their year of graduation and you know you won't graduate with them. The expectations of parents, relatives etc.

Yeah. It's terrible. You have a whole 2 years to think about it.

Passed the remaining courses. Finished the extra year.

Graduated.

Now serving. Now financially independent while still a youth corper.

Firstly, you need God. God is everything.

Secondly. It has happened to many people. They finished strongly.

Man up. Its nothing.

PS: No matter what, after the 5th year, let your parents know. It is better that way.

Truly Nigeria is finished judging by the comments on this thread.

Who writes for this people?

Bad English.

Poorly written articles everytime.

LEAFLET:
where is Kendrick lamar, j'cole, pusha t. Drake and Weezy...It's crazy where people use a certain generation of rappers to classify the greatest in a rap.. Rap evolves and there is nothing like greatest of all time..

Legends Bro legends.
That is the operative word here.

The ones you mention are still new school. They are on their way to becoming legends.

Can you call Messi and Ronaldo legends yet?

No not yet.

TheVictorious:
I could remember reading a post where one idiot claimed that unguided student actions like this is part of what makes OAU the best school in Nigeria. Can something like this happen in Harvard?

Ever heard of OAU students destroying properties?

They protest the most but they do it in a sane manner.

These FutMinna students refused to protest for so long. They let it get all messed up till it got to a boiling point and now they will suffer for it.

A sane protest years ago will not have erupted into this. It will have resolved a lot of issues.

FYI students of universities abroad even protest more.

So don't bring OAU into this.

She just got more popular with this. Good for business.

That selfie part is re. tarded. Take a selfie on a Samsung phone and compare it to that of a chinko phone of the same era. See which one is better.

Just a pity that unenlightened folks will swallow this hook, line and sinker.

I concur. Fanisau is good. Was commissioned by Jonathan in late 2014. Camped there early 2016.

Ksslib:
I still remember that night. A loud bang woke me up from sleep. As I tried to clear my eyes, I heard footsteps in the living room. I knew what it was. They were here for it.

I quickly flung myself from the bed and ran towards the basement. As I descended down the stairs, a shadow of a huge figure ran past me in the other direction.

I was terrified and confused; not knowing which direction to run towards. I remembered what was in the basement and ran towards that direction immediately.

I entered the basement and opened the carton. My hands were trembling as I counted the package with sweaty fingers. But as soon as I was done, a sigh of relief filled my face.

Just then, I heard a voice over the intercom. It was The General. "Lieutenant!!!! Package status update"

I pressed the green button and raised the device to my mouth.

"Omega!! all fffucks are in place, omega!!. I repeat... All fffucks are in place. No single ffuck given to the enemy, omega!!"

Jesus!!!

That was creative. Men I love it.

Comanche:
Thank you sir. I'm really grateful. Since the free connects lasts for only one month, how were you able to bid for 2 months? Furthermore, they keep flaunting the plus membership trial with extra 300 connects in my face whenever I log in, would you advice me to go for it?

I think you are confusing Upwork with Freelancer. Freelancer's free connects last a month. And it is Freelancer that keeps forcing that membership plan down your throat.

Upwork gives you 60 free connects every month. So a month from the day you registered, your connects will be reloaded to 60.

Lol. Bj and Cao are both cool with each other. No hard feelings.

Just different opinions about the petition thing.

Comanche:
Hi, please I've been having difficulty uploading a project on my profile. Do I have to provide the url to the project? All my previous works aren't uploaded on net, they are just on my system. I bade on 8 projects and still nothing....I'm getting frustrated please I need advice from everyone.

Please don't get frustrated after just 8 bids.

I bid for two months without getting a job.

Many others bid for much longer.

You have to be patient.

You no fit change.

Atmmachine:

What drugs are you on ?? Stupidity pills ??

Look at this goat face sitting in a remote village in Ogun state

What do you know about the USA ??

If you live in the USA you would know that his campaign promises are just made up stories

What campaign promises is Donald Trump fulfilling ??

He said that he will make America great again, America has been great since 1786

He said that he will bring jobs back to America, They're millions of jobs in America begging people to go to work but Americans are the laziest people on earth, they would rather sit at home and collect unemployment check, food stamps and section 8, meanwhile the Mexicans they don't want in their country are the ones who are doing the dirty jobs Americans are too lazy to do, like farming, building houses, cutting grasses, doing constructions, and paying taxes so that does lazy Americans would waste the money on food, that's why every American is fat, they would sit on their asses and eat all day

He said that he would ban Obamacare ?? Now tell me how dumb you would be to think that you can terminate Obamacare, you can only change the name

He said that he will build a wall across the border, there are 7 U.S states that borders Mexico, 1 of those states is the size of the whole Nigeria, now explain to me how he will build a wall across 7 large states that are bigger than West Africa

He said that he will ban the Muslim from entering into the USA, there are already 20 million Muslims in the USA, if Muslims are terrorists, those 20 million Muslims would have wiped out the whole of USA and forgetting that Americans are the real terrorists starting from school and church shooters to Ted Bundy and thousands of his fellow serial killers

TRUMP is the dumbest person on earth, he thinks that the President has the right to say what happens, the President of the USA don't even have the right to say what happens in a remote village in Tennessee, how does he think he can put a national ban ?? First you must go through the Congress

Seun, is there a way to like a comment twice?

This comment made my day.

lizzycreations:
Hello everyone, i just came across this thread and i think its really getting hot, i'm a newbie on fiverr earning peanuts, but as i'm seeing this thread this morning, i'm considering opening an upwork account but before i proceed, i will like to ask some questions and will be very happy if anyone whom God touches his or her heart to answer me.


1) Can i open an upwork account with a US ip just like fiverr and i wont have problem?
2) What skill(s) can i quickly learn be it on youtube or any other available means that can fetch me some bucks on upwork? because i currently writes article on fiverr. OR if there is any skill anyone can put me through.

Thanks

1. You can't operate a foreign account successfully on Upwork. Before withdrawing your earnings, you will have to fill a W9 tax earning form. Some clients on Upwork like to communicate via Skype. Sometimes Upwork themselves will request a Skype conversation with you to confirm that you are who you claim and also test your English.

2. Writing pays more on Upwork than Fiverr. There are clients that are willing to pay more than the traditional $5 for 500 words on Upwork.
More flexibility regarding to delivery deadlines etc.

As for courses you can learn, there was a course offered by Upwork in conjunction with an online tutorial platform. I think it was based on digital marketing or so. I can't remember. That course is okay to learn.

I'm interested. Unfortunately I'm still a youth corper serving outside Lagos.
Will join after service.

How much did this guy pay Seun?

The same thing entering front page over and over.

I understand her. I get that she feels for those recharge cards sellers.

But she and many others who support this are wrong.

Technology has come to stay. We have to evolve and stop thinking backwards.
Why not tell people to stop buying laptops and subscribing for data because of cybercafes?

Why not tell people to stop calling on their mobile phones and start patronizing call centers instead?

Why not tell people to patronize those guys that download for people instead of downloading songs from their mobile phones?

Why not tell people to stop patronizing BRTs because of the local danfo buses?

Maybe we should stop using gas because of kerosene sellers

Or we should stop buying electric lamps because of those selling lanterns.

Other countries evolve daily. You just have to get better and evolve. You won’t see a typist again. All of them have learnt MS Word and other desktop publishing skills now.

We need to stop thinking backwards as a country.

By the way I still buy recharge cards. I only use USSD when I want to subscribe.

The president before the revolution was supported by the United States and the country was highly westernized.

The revolution was caused by Islamic extremists.

The country became the Islamic Republic of Iran after the revolution.

There was a referendum passed then.

Stop blaming the United States for everything.

You won’t talk about the radical imam who declared war against sovereignty and declared war on Iraq, Baghdad, Yemen and other countries.

You won’t talk about the Iraq Iran war where Iraq invaded most of Iran. Iran started the war and it backfired on them.

Lots of people lost life and the country fell.

You won’t make any analysis or research at all. You'll just blame the United States for everything.

Sure they have their own mess but don't blame them for everything.

samtobi:
Hi guys!

I need your help on this one. I recently did a job for a client who was Okay with the job. He gave me his feedback that he was fine with the content.

The problem I am having right now was that when I was submitting the article, I didn't use the Upwork submission that gives client maximum of 2 weeks to review your work. I decided to use the attached file to submit the article in the message area/platform.

The major reason I did that was because I thought the nigga would ask me for a review or revision on the content.

It has been a week now, the client has not released the milestone for me to make withdrawals. I tried sending him a message reminding him of the milestone. And it's been three days now, but got no answer from him.

What should I do?

Should I resend the content using upwork submission platform? My fear is that this action may be too rude and desperate. I might end up losing the nigga.

Or should I fold my hands and wait for him to release the milestone when he is ready( I kind of need money now ).

Please guys what do you think I should do? I'm counting on your advice!

In fact I've made up my mind that anytime I am going to submit any article to any client I'm going to be using the submission platform. I don't care if they have suggestions about the article or not.

Thanks

Waiting for your advice great People.

Your method of submission doesn't matter. You will get your money. The money is with Upwork and not the client. He will surely initiate payment to you. But you can still submit using the request platform.

Don't worry at all.

rjek:
Hello gurus, during proofreading, how can I set my ms word so that I can get a clean and a track file at the same time..
A client Said I should give him a clean file and a track one.
Plssss I need help..

On your Microsoft Word, go to review at the top. Activate track changes there.

Any change you make to the document will be tracked.

For the clean copy, copy the tracked document to another folder, open it, go to review tab and accept all tracked changes.

You should rename the clean document so as to separate it from the tracked document.

SalamRushdie:
Its has been confirmed they were attacked by fellow muslims so now move along

I now accept the possibility that it could have been a muslim.

But it is now confirmed that the muslim guy was a witness who was praying in the mosque

Explorers:
Bro, we have good people and bad people everywhere. Am not saying Muslims did that, am very sure there are Muslims that cant hurt a fly, and there are Christian murderers, serial killers out there.

Just trying to bring out a possibility here bro.

Dont talk about things like this though.

cc: wman

Yeah, you are right Bro.

I don't agree with this topic and most of the comments.

True, a lot of graduates are quack and less than mediocre.
But I have friends. Guys who are highly qualified and have developed themselves in other areas.

Yet, they are still searching for jobs.

The truth is that the number of job openings is far less than the number of qualified graduates.

ophidiophobic:
Can I bid for jobs before setting up a withdrawal method?

Yes. I have earned some moolah and I haven't set up a withdrawal method yet

See mumu people wey no read thread dey comment.

It was a mosque that was attacked. It was most likely done by residents who hate Muslims.

Not by force to comment if you can't reason or if you have nothing to say.

chessguru:
I stand with MMM Nigeria .... if you like MMM Nigeria , you willl also love Get help world wide . peer to peer is here to stay i still got Help yesterday alert still entering .... too sure . shame on haters .

What a shame. One would think chess players have higher IQ than others.


Well it is possible you are intelligent enough to know all these schemes are bound to fail, but you are one of the "smart" ones who cash out before the schemes crash out.

Samadhii:
Please, order one of my gigs to improve my rating. God bless you www.fiverr.com/wizyoung

No one will do that. Unless you buy a review from them.

How is "not interested" rude?

Some guys just take some things too personal.

See ignorance everywhere.

The mall is just a building. Shoprite rented/leased space inside just like the other jobs. People only call the malls Shoprite because that is the major place they go to.

The owner of Palms are most likely Nigerians.
