With N500m Uniben can go completely off grid with Solar

I doubt if it will last. As most students overload with heavy appliances.

OGryan:
I was inspired by the helpfulness of this thread to write a full DIY (do it yourself) guide to acquiring an E-yellow card in 2024

Visit the site: https://yellowcardnigeria.com/users/adduser

Fill in the form with the correct details, make sure to use an active email address.

Proceed to make payment via remitta. If you are paying with transfer or card or whatever means, make sure you put in the accurate figures, don't pay more and don't pay less (if it is not the accurate amount down to the Kobo N2161.25k your money will just go and the payment will fail)

After successful payment, Download yellow card login page (user transaction details).
keep it safe for future reference


Go to your email address, download your remitta payment receipt as PDF.

Make a photocopy of your passport bio-data page, then print the remitta payment receipt on the other side of the same paper, so all you'll be going with is a single sheet of A4 paper with your infos on both sides, passport bio-data + remitta payment receipt (front and back)

Visit Federal ministry of health Lagos, close to International airport. Near the Tollgate that leads to National road (local airport)

Eat very well before leaving because you'll be taking injection, they must ask you to eat, leave with your already printed infos.
They asked me to pay N300 at the counter there, I don't know what it is for.

If you are Nigerian, I guess you'll know what I'm taking about 😜

😂 😆 😂

Do they open weekends?

If you are legit you should have a legit profile one can follow you.

So many people on nairaland that are willing to do money business are thief's except for the genuine ones, even ladies too.

Becareful how you negotiate with such people. Don't be surprised after you have suffered and earn your money, someone is willing to collect it from you and block you.

Then the person will fill it's very okay , he or she has hustled smart.


Please scrutinize this person before you make a deal with him. Out of 99% of person's on nairaland only 20% are legitimate.

The rest who you see on that particular spot where there is money are all scams.

Thank you so much

You don't need to have $5k before you can withdraw on payoneer.

You can withdraw as low as $50

I meant request payment from my employer...

Hello everyone,

I recently passed an interview for a remote job. I was asked the platform to receive my pay, I told them payoner. But I just noticed before I request for money with the platform, I need to have $5000 first.

Can someone suggest a more reliable and easy alternative?

The shortest method to succeeding in NGO is building from ground up, doing consultancies here and there, and getting all the referees/recommendations from senior staff.

You can't just break in there to do something better (let's say an officer position) because you have an MSc in Public Health. Remember, you'll be having zero NGO experience. They won't even want to see your banking experience. It'll sort of work against you having a BSc in Medical Biochemistry, worked as a bank marketer, then, acquired MSc in Public Health to run to NGO. That's confusion. Consider your future more than today, at least you are not begging. Take your time and build yourself.

If you are going to the bank, take the IT option along and forget about NGO/Public Health.

All the best.

Mind message you?

Studying Medical Biochemistry and pursuing a career in the banking/finance sector doesn't make much sense. I understand you have to eat but I don't see you growing in the finance sector. Sooner or later, you'll sort of regret going there. I am saying this because your background isn't strong in banking/finance. I don't know how you are going to start building on Medical Biochemistry to support your banking career.

Do you think the bank will regard your degree in Medical Biochemistry? I doubt. Again, you can't even take advanced courses in banking/finance because you don't have the qualification. Forget that you are scaling through the interview. It's a trap because they know you don't have a background there and promotion is going to be hard for you. I would've encouraged you to take the offer if you studied something like Marketing, Banking/Finance, or any other finance-related course. Trust me, it's easy for banks to employ people that don't have a background in banking/finance than for them to employ those that studied banking/finance.

Consider your degree first in any work that you want to do except you want to go there and struggle. Promotion becomes easy when your course of study is relevant to your job, even if it's in the civil service, it's the same. So, I'll encourage you to look beyond today.

Way forward:
1. Build from your background/degree and go up from there else the degree won't be of much value to you in other areas that the degree isn't relevant. Hence, see how you can start doing something in your field even if it means starting small.
2. Keep your present job and switch to IT. Do a professional course (e.g., web programming, android development, cybersecurity, etc.) so in future, you can work from home for yourself.
3. Seek to volunteer in a very good NGO while switching to relevant NGO courses via PGD => M.Sc (e.g., Demography, Community Development, International Development, Project Management, Public Health, Social Work, etc.). Once you've established your area of development work, you'll also need to acquire some relevant professional certifications.

Final note: Don't go to the bank. Even if you do M.Sc in Medical Biochemistry. They won't regard it. By the way, once you join them, you may not have time to study again.


I have plan with the third and second option.

Get funds through the job for MSc in Public Health while on the job as Marketing affords the time, then get out to NGO.

Thank you very much, I appreciate your advice.

Although, I honestly don't want to build a career in Banking.

I am considering to be there as from my calculations it will give me more time and stable finance to go for my masters in the next 1-2 years. Then I switch back to my field before I am 30... I believe I can actually have this time as being in the marketing dept.

People are resigning daily from their banking jobs, and you're heading right in, and as a contract staff? Please pause and think, and read my lips very slowly - BANKING HAS NO JOB SECURITY and likely NO JOB SATISFACTION!

They'll use you, and use you, then discard you when they get tired of you.
And as a contract staff, you have no single career prospect there - all those English in your employment letter, na wash!
Marketing what? The target na die!

If I were you, I will embark on a fast and seek the face of the Lord for this matter. The days working in the bank was everyone's dream, are long gone. Now, na stress, suffer head, beating deadlines, meeting and surpassing targets, and being butted out unexpectedly be their trademark.

But if you plan to leave the country in the nearest future, you can accept the offer, use them to get reference for the embassy, turn around, and give them a heavy kick on the butt in return, then japa.

All in all, I wish you well.

Thank you so much... I actually don't want to stay long there... Hoping 2-3years or lesser max just to get my postgraduate as it affords me time.

I've worked in the banking sector. Do not go for marketing, retail, teller, cash officer, CSU, or back office operation roles. There's little to no growth as those are not core banking staff.

You will be on that salary for a very long time unless marketing is your passion. You should also note that there's little to no transferrable skills in those roles.

Thank you very much for your advice

if both jobs are within close proximity, take two days off from your old work place, go to the new work place, resume as usual, then get every information you need from the staff there. That will determine if you'd stay or leave. You can call in sick for those two days, it's better to loose few bucks than loose an opportunity.

Thank you

Do you have head room in the current place you are working? If the answer is no, then time for you to move out. The guy above told you that nothing ventured nothing gained. You need to try new things for you to make gains. Get out of your comfort zone and be adventurous.

No growth!

If yes, is the answer to the questions above, take the dam career leap

I really didn't get your take kind of confusing.

To the first question it's a No, the second yes.

Good day everyone, I recently scaled through an interview with a popular bank as a Marketing Associate. I currently work as a contract Aviation Security Officer... The New role seems like a contract too but provides better pay and benefits with better career opportunities.

But I am kind of afraid to take a leap I am certainly not sure of... I need people who are in this career part to show me what I am going to face with the new role.

I am in the comment section.

I need advice.
