Someone gave me a simple job of making an existing static site template responsive within 24 hours and I blew it. A simple task that should take few hours, it looked all good on my localhost only to test it on netlify and it turned out to be a disaster. I'm just so ashamed of myself.

I've been learning web dev since mid last year though its been a case of one month on three months off, I've been grossly inconsistent due circumstances beyond my control. I haven't even coded this year because I come back from my menial hustles with battered bones and weak muscles. You can imagine trying to code after offloading a trailer load of cement all day. I even had to use bet shops around for the gig amidst the pangs of hunger I felt while working coupled with the noisy and distracting environment I was working in which contributed to my legendary blunder.

At the age of 30 and unemployed I've always seen programming as my way out of poverty but it seems I'm not good enough. I'm painfully watching that little flicker of hope fizzle out before my tearful eyes. Which other skill can I dabble into product design?? I suck at designs reason why my frontend skills is below average... should I try backend?? I'm just confused, frustrated and down casted not knowing the next step to take while time is no longer on my side.

Life currently has no meaning and direction to me, I just seem to be flowing aimlessly with the flow. My situation is giving me sleepless nights and I now rely on drugs to sleep for even three hours a day.

I really need someone to talk to, I'm really tired of trying to work out things on my own. I'm 30, broke, lonely and depressed, single has been a constant in my life's equation cos I don't even like myself for who I am presently so I don't expect someone's daughter to like me in this my miserable state.

Someone should please show me the way, this dark tunnel is fast turning to a maze that I can't navigate on my own.

We live in a country whereby most of the degrees we acquired do not correlate with our jobs. I graduated from the Department of Political science & International relations, but I currently work in a heavy equipment operator training firm where I am earning well. Most of our trainee operators earn more than what some firms or banks can pay their employees in a month. We have trained Ph.D. holders, masters, and even BSc graduates to operate heavy machinery. Therefore, working in a company or a bank as an accountant does not mean good pay. some bank workers are earning between 50k to 100k depending on their duties and ranks. Maybe he is earning more as a laborer.

I am in a relationship with a girl I'm planning to get married to. I love her and we vibe together and play most times. From my own assessment, she is good, down to earth, knows how to cook, humble, respectful, and she is also very beautiful naturally, infact she passed 70% quality of the kind of woman I want in my life.

The problem is that I'm not attracted to her sexually. She has a small body, and doesn't have nyash or should I say small nyash (sorry for the offensive word). I'm not aroused if I'm with her. I can manage to have sex with her just once, even if she will stay five days with me, and I know this gives her concern.

I like ladies with backside, height and chubby. but the ones I have come across doesn't even measure up to this my girl in character.

Does sex Matter so much in marriage? Cos I'm afraid I may cheat on her or get sexual satisfaction outside our marriage. I'm just confused right now.

Like every well brought up young man, I'm in my early 30's and really doing fine at least I'm not begging for anything from anyone.

I set out this year to wife my girlfriend whom I had dated for 2 years but her character made me think twice so we broke up and I moved on. I have tried to make friends with matured ladies in the church I worship but it's been from one bad experience to another.

Ever since I started looking for a woman to call my wife I have been meeting different characteristics of women.
Within the space of 1 year I've met one who is a maniac, one I met at a hangout didn't hesitate to show her lazy attitude the day she came to my place to see I'm a bit comfortable, another one I met recently in church turned out to be a thief.

2021 is almost over and I'm yet to find a wife. Where do you advice I go in search for a good woman?

Wife material scarce oh!

So, I met this great guy online. After 2 weeks, we met in person and everything was perfect.

It's almost 2 months since we have been together.

He asked me out while we were together and I gladly said yes. (I have met a lot of players�). So while we were together, a discussion popped up and he said he can't discuss anything related to marriage until after 6 months. I pretended not to hear.


I don't know his financial capacity but I know he is doing okay. He controls the family business. They sell trucks, trailers and all. He is also a landlord in one of his father's houses at Festac. We stayed at a hotel. 25k per night. He paid for 2 night and I paid for one night. But during these times, we went to his house.

He said he didn't want me to come to see his place because it's the first time. And he said the house is very hot too.


Our communication is great but he doesn't look like he wants marriage soon. He has said things like marriage is hard work. He has also said in 10 years time, people will hardly be getting married.

Then one night, we were talking and he said I "see my wife as my responsibility"
I will take care of her and of cos, I am okay but I will still be very very rich, so I can't bring in any woman to suffer now" .. That's what I am sure I heard but I was scared to ask him to explain further or repeat himself.

He is actually okay, he has two cars but importantly, he has sense and he is very hard-working. But he is very principled and we have actually had several instances where he doesn't pick my calls at night. It happens often but I am starting to trust him, because sometimes I call by 5am and he picks and says he slept off. Sometimes we would be chatting on WhatsApp and after I call him 20 minutes later, he won't respond. He is not married!

So, I currently earn 450k monthly and I have been able to save something meaningful, so I can start a good business before getting married or after. I haven't stated because I don't know which one yet. I started a restaurant business when I was 23 but it failed.

If I ask him and he says 1 year, of course, I can wait. I will be 26 years next year April.

We will seeing for the 2nd time next week. I plan to ask him when he sees himself getting married but I am scared and the way he carries himself makes me reluctant to ask such.

About two weeks ago, I wanted to even surprise him with gifts. I asked for his account number and office/home address. (He picked me up the last time I traveled to see him, so I don't know the address". Well, he didn't give me these details. He said when it's time I will have them.


Two days ago, he said a friend's younger brother is getting married. He laughed and said people just dey marry. He has once asked me "You dey find husband?" jokingly-

I would like to settle before 27. Is it bad that I am thinking this way? If he says he is looking to get married in 2-3 years, i think it's a bit far. 2023 is still fine. But the problem is he doesn't really sound like marriage is on his mind. He will be 32 next year April too.

We vibe a lot. But he says I love you sparingly. Sometimes I say it and he doesn't respond, he will say tomorrow I will tell u or no, I told u yesterday.

But we are really really cool. I like him a lot and he likes me but I think I like him more. He gives me attention, I don't have to ask.

If I was 23, I won't have a problem waiting 3-4 years. But since I am ready mentally, financially, I am looking for someone who wants it within 6 months to 1 year. I can still try to do 2 years if I get someone great.

Kuriosmynd:
Now, don't assume you know this young man well enough. You just barely met him.

You will know him better after you guys have sex 3x to 5x. I guess he already fvcked you well, otherwise I don't get your desperation.
.
You sound like a good innocent girl. I think I like your person. But I also feel the guy is trying to take firm control of you and do you as he pleases. Thread carefully. Those words he throws around shouldn't be taken lightly. There are often truth in light jokes.

You still need to understand his psyche, don't ask him openly, but during conversation and subtle question, u will connect the dots. U need to know the kind of girl he really wishes to marry. I mean In terms of look, endowment, age, family background and tribe, u must see if u fall in that category...else it's good to start being sceptical.
.
The truth is, sometimes, we guys might be dating a great girl, yet we are not convinced she's our want/spec.so we end up doing her as we please and dump her, and she starts to doubt herself.
.
Again. You need to know where he really wish to be, I mean his dream and plans; see if he's in that direction. See if he's content abt his present state, otherwise some guys might want to be headed toward their dream before giving marriage a serious interest. Forget about what he father has.Try to know where he wants to be.

Then reduce ur desperation and see how he responds to your unavailability. Note his words and don't be blind to his actions.
And lastly, don't showoff u have money..lol Guys will eat you, especially if he's not that committed to you.
Keep observing, as you never really known this guy. Later, you can ask him his plans for marriage, there's nothing bad. You need to know this guy's psyche abt marriage, otherwise u will be traveling in a boat without destination

chatinent:
Ironically, these are all what the Nigerian police are doing.


The Nigerian Police will arrest you because you look like you will have money in three years time.


The Nigerian police will arrest you because your papers are complete. “You wan show us you know the law baa? Take him to station. By the time we get there, you'll explain how you knew the law when you aren't a lawyer.”

The NPF will arrest you because a big man tipped them and told them he would like your girlfriend to be his. They will arrest you and charge you with illegal possession of girlfriends.

The NPF will arrest you for being silent and neutral as to why you allowed a robber to rob your nextdoor neighbour without killing one. “You have the right to remain silent because anything you say or do will be used against you in the court of law” is their favourite singsong even when you didn't say anything.


The NPF will arrest you for wearing singlet and strolling to buy bread at night. “You are under arrest for improper dressing. You dey find person daughter to rape baa?”

The NPF will arrest you for trying to save an accident victim about dying. “You are under arrest for killing this man unless you want to explain why everybody run commot here and na only you remain.”

The NPF will arrest you when you are doing your jogging exercise in the morning. They will say it is only the wicked that runs when nothing is pursuing them.



The NPF will arrest you for buying a car as a young man like me.
P: what do you do for a living?
Me: I'm a content writer.
P: na dem. Yahoo contents baa?
Me: no, sir. I write contents and get paid.
P: that's what I am saying na. You can write contents on Yahoo right?
Me: On Yahoo mails,yes, but not on fraud nor do I defraud.
P: it's the same thing.
P2: let me see your phone.
Me: why sir?
P: (slap gbas gbos) why abi? Na so una go dey theive upandan. Who get this car?
Me: (mid-tears) Sir...sir, that's my car.
P2: wetin dey this boy phone so? Wetin bi Upwork? Wetin bi Office? Oh na HK office una don dey use abi?
Me: Oga, that's Microsoft Word. This thing you guys are doing is wrong. I am a hardworking citizen. I am not a con artist. Perhaps, the police is supposed to be our friend.
P: my friend, shut up, I am not your friend, my friend. Ok, you are not a writer again na artist now? Constable arrest him.

...and when I try to resist arrest for my right, I receive slaps from the left and uppercuts. When I don't give in, my dear killer pulls a trigger from yonder. In the morning, you'll hear my headline: “It was a sad day for one Constable Abdul Adekunle Emeka, posted to the joint TF, Lagos, when a cultist, who is also a yahoo boy drove past the base and tried killing the policeman. Unfortunately, our brave inspector saw him in time and neutralised him...”

Commissioner of police will now give en talk ontop matter. Buhari will now talk..abi read Garba’s speech on the matter and encourage the NPF for fighting corruption and tell the EFCC to keep on with the investigation of the car I left behind. Two weeks later, EFCC will find two new AK-49 with live ammunition in it. The car will be confiscated. Next tomorrow, one oga son will repaint my black car to white and be using it to visit brothels and trade coco peacefully. When he passes check-points, he receive hailing and “show us love” from the loutish policemen not searching his car.



The NPF is not your friend.

Know this and have peace. By the way, I am available for research writing services that will pass Turnitin.

Getting consistent jobs on freelancing sites depends on how good you are at what you do to make clients come for more and how well optimized your profile is.

Try as much as possible to;

- Get yourself well trained (paid or free resources)

- Practice, Practice, and Practice.

- Build your portfolio (you can do this by working for free for friends and work on the feedbacks you receive)

- Optimize your freelance profile to rank well (Fiverr/Upwork)

- Bid for jobs

- Execute the jobs well and ask for good reviews without asking for reviews

- Negative feedbacks shouldn't be taken as being a failure.

- Don't relent.

It depends on the type of design you're cooking.

You can't expect the time it takes to design a business card to be the same as it'll take to design a brochure or a new logo or a product wrap.


If you have a pre-built template, you should be able to finish the design under 48hrs (again it depends on the type of design you're putting together).

But if you're crafting a design afresh, you have to consider the time it'll take you to visualize how you or the client want the design to be like, the gathering of resources, the sketch and all other design process. So, I'd say 72hrs.

Design shouldn't be done under pressure so as to have better ideas flowing through while you as the creator flow along and create room for adjustments.

This will make you produce better output for your client.

What subject do you teach in the school?

I want to give you a Freelancing job.

kingsolium:
Good morning house, pls I need your views and opinions on this subject matter.

Ok, I currently work with an FMCG Coy in Ibadan as an inventory officer where I earn N175k net on a monthly basis. It’s important to state here that I was living in Lagos prior to my getting this FMCG job.

So, I moved to Ibadan 2 months ago and currently put up with a friend in his apartment while I try to figure out how to move my stuffs to Ibadan on relocation basis. But along the line, I got a job with a big agricultural establishment affiliated to a multinational agricultural firm and I’m being offered N259k for a start excluding other benefits such as airtime(15k) which is different from my main salary.

Also note that the N259k is gross so my take home could be around N230k or thereabouts.

Now here’s the challenge. This new job is in Kaduna(the state capital) and I’ve not been to kaduna before. So, house what do you think about this. I need your candid, sincere and factual advice on this matter.

Thank you

It's exactly 5 months now since I birthed this business. Exactly November 14th I started a business passion in the BEAUTY market.

On this day my barbershop was birthed... But we have barely operated for upto a month with hitches here and there.

First it starts with the non availability of professional barbers to run the business, all the barbers are either not interested or cannot give it their 100% when they get the job.

Many are frustrated with the poor patronage which is expected of any business or according to an article I read, they are "jealous" of their employer (still trying to figure this out).

My barbershop gulped me a whooping N1m.

All efforts via advertisement and physical search have proved barren as no barber has the patience to work or they are either no longer interested in a skill they learnt (instead have decided to rock the high-way(Yahoo)).

Well all said and done I want persons to know this and learn a lesson off my experience. Never invest in a business you have no skill (training) about.

As the Rent still counts, I continue to be hopeful because I invested premium ideas and hopeful I will get a patient barber to run my business while I attend to other stuffs.
I have good contracts with provision for accomodation for my employees but it's still difficult to get one

@Lovethaa

You are being unwise, foolish and childish.

I know a lady who was raped at age 8 till she was 24, have had multiple partners over 11.

She met a virgin guy who decided to date her, bkos life is not about people's past but what they decide to do with their future presently.

I'm not advocating careless living but my brother if a lady opens up to you and you are disgusted by her past, then walk. it shows you are not emotionally matured to handle certain levels of TRUTH. Mark my words any relationship built on lies will never last, Falsehood was never designed to stand the test of time, only TRUTH does

You don't need PGDE. Go for your Master's

SweetVibe:

Next time research well before you mislead anyone.

Apply for masters straight up

prince22607:

But if u have 3.0 and above u can apply for masters straight up

aysuprano:

Your final CGPA should determine if you have to go for PGDE before masters now
