Welcome to Nigeria where WhatsApp admins have power more than a Local government Chairman.

Admin fe cash out . I've been on a writing group like this too.
They told us to register 1k and that we would get writing gigs. I was like why don't they just take a percentage on the pay that we would get instead of asking for money for registration.

The truth is that in Nigeria writers hardly make money.

Most people just want to scam writers. I think I even fell for a scam like this one time. It was an essay competition

We were asked to pay 1k before we could submit our articles. Lol, I was so foolish I went to pay. The next week I got a mail that my article wasn't picked and the thing was that no one's article was picked.

I checked their site the next day google said it didn't existexist Na there I know say dem don scam me

DkJay:


I'm literally laughing as I'm typing this. The admin of a writers' platform decided to "monetize" his group by asking those who got jobs via the group should pay a membership fee (I can't think of anything else to call it) of N500 every month.

But apparently they didn't find it funny.

When the comments became too much, the admin locked the group to be opened three hours later. Those who are not comfortable with the terms are advised to 'gbe body e'.

Heh.

What do you guys think?

Wow bro. You've already brought our discussion here. Oops.

Someone said WhatsApp admins are more powerful than local government chairman in Nigeria.

Meanwhile,in Nigeria na we dey do ourselves by our self.

Even before i opened the thread,i don already suspect say na that group. I was in that group some months ago before the admin removed me and some other people because we refused to register our names via a link he shared. He didnt even give us enough time to process his new rule before removing us one by one,save a few people. That group made sense until he began to put shoulder pads on his shoulders. I didnt even know about this case sef.
The truth is that it's unfair to force membership fees down members' throats. How much are we making? It's been a while that i got a new writing job. I just finished two tedious writing tests for a firm looking for content writers,free ni o,not paid. No sleep,no rest. On top how much if im finally selected, 1.5 naira/pw. So how will i feel comfortable to drop 500n for one admin when the chicken feed im getting once in a while never reach me?
We writers don suffer,walahi. I just hope that Goldcoin drops his pride as soon as possible and make amends before he loses his fans.
