Phones / Re: A51, A70 A71 S10 Or The Recent Samsung A Series, Which Do You Suggest? by XploraBen(m): 8:48am On May 30, 2023
Columbine:


For how long have you been using it? And how much was it when you got it? Does the battery last?
The phone will clock a year in my hand by June ending.

I bought mine as a neat Nigerian used for a real steal! (I was just lucky grin).

If you're getting a UK used one, just budget around 100k or slightly above and if you're getting a Nigerian used budget around 70k-85k.

It has 4500 mAh battery and I can tell you it's solid. A full charge takes me through a day.

Let me know if you have any other question(s) about the phone.
Phones / Re: A51, A70 A71 S10 Or The Recent Samsung A Series, Which Do You Suggest? by XploraBen(m): 9:44pm On May 29, 2023
I'm using Samsung A70 and I can tell you the performance of this phone is really smooth, you'll even think it's a flagship device.

If you have a better budget, you can go for Samsung S10 Plus, which is a flagship device.

Be careful with people like this.

Most of them make more money teaching people how to make money than from actually doing what they teach.
I know people like this.
Thanks anyway.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Re: Manchester City Vs Real Madrid : UCL (4 - 0) On 17th May 2023 by XploraBen(m): 10:56pm On May 17, 2023
After last week's first leg, I told some diehard Madrid fans that City will go for the kill at the Etihad... And it panned out that way.

Kyle Walker really upped his game and I like how he was able to clip down Vinicius Jr. Benzema was only a shadow of his former self.

Pep Guardiola is unarguably the best coach in the world right now and it will require a miracle for Inter Milan to defeat this well-coordinated and trophy-hungry City.

City for the UCL!๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’™

xpresseeve:


You write well for someone who has an SSCE. I was quite impressed with your plea for help till you started wailing and complaining.

I think I can be of help. Send a CV to urbanesearch@gmail.com. The subject of the mail should be SSCE graduate applying from Uyo.

Also add an intro letter telling them about yourself as regards your training and any work experience you may have. You may wish to add that you were asked to send this mail by Xpresseeve Consulting Limited.

Please understand that whatever they may come up may not necessarily be in Uyo or Akwa Ibom State. It could be in any part of Nigeria.

Keep me updated on this thread till you get this job or another one.

Best regards!
Can I also drop my CV in the stated email address?
Sports / Re: Ronaldo's Al Nassr Eliminated From The King's Cup By 10-man Al Wehda by XploraBen(m): 8:44am On Apr 25, 2023

It's better Ronaldo just retire at the end of this season.

It's evident that he's no more a consistent goalscorer like during his days in Real Madrid.

Phones / Re: Redmi Note 12 Pro Plus 5G Full Review + Price (photos) by XploraBen(m): 9:47pm On Apr 22, 2023
Nice specs.

But at this price point (279k), I'll settle for Samsung.

I can get a UK/US used Samsung Note 20 Ultra or Samsung S21 FE.

In case you are thinking of the easiest site for hosting your web application. Use glitch and thank me later. The only thing I know you can't host on glitch is MySQL. You need to use external hosting for that.

I've done almost anything you can imagine with glitch for years now. You can connect your GitHub repository and export from git to glitch and it will go live in seconds.
Please is glitch free to use?

Celebrities / Re: Marriage Is Dead, Women Have Turned It Into Poverty Alleviation Schemeโ€” OAP Nedu by XploraBen(m): 7:14pm On Apr 16, 2023
Truvelisback:
Marriage is dead. Only very few women go into marriage with their own money. And these few women are very, very rare to find.
I agree with you on the fact that women who go into marriage with their own money are few these days.

But marriage is still not dead, even though there are a lot of crashed marriages around.
Celebrities / Re: Marriage Is Dead, Women Have Turned It Into Poverty Alleviation Schemeโ€” OAP Nedu by XploraBen(m): 3:43pm On Apr 16, 2023
Marriage is not dead!

One thing I don't like is generalisation.

There are still some ladies who earns their own money and go into marriage because they are in love with their guy.

Going by this, I will only settle down with a working class lady and not a jobless gold-digger.

as i said b4. Play you game well on those plateforms. Your samples and experience is what would get you clients. When you apply for any gig. Give them a load down of your experience. I would advice you to have your own blog too. I have 3 blogs with lots of content. I show the clients my blogs and they see that i am capable. That is what you should be doing, not just writing for others. Build your resume.

I get your point here.๐Ÿ‘

I'm actually learning web development, and currently, I'm building my personal website which I want to use to showcase my works.

The website should be up and running before this month ends.

you need to set yourself appart. Many of us have multiple clients from upwork and fivver. I even turn down jobs a lot. Many Nigerians doing well there that are content writters even the new writters. Up your game.

Thanks for the advice, I'll look more into these platforms.

I'm still open to freelance writing gigs if you have any to outsource.

lots of us here. But please i am not recruiting. Just wanted you to know that there are lots of freelacing agents here. Search under vacancies you should come accross some recruiters once a while. But if you are serious, you dont need an agent, just go on upwork, fivver or linkedin and get clients

It's not as if I haven't gotten clients here, it's just that I've only worked with one on long term basis... The rest just offer me per time jobs.

Upwork and Fiverr are overly saturated now as touching content writing.
It's only LinkedIn that is still a viable option.

Late last year, I saw a guy's post about mining Bitcoin on Nairaland. I contacted him and asked how I would go about it.

To cut the long story short, I transferred some amount (4k plus) to him but lo and behold, he stopped picking my calls after I made the transfer.

I just thank God I didn't transfer more than the stated amount to the scammer. cheesy
