I believed a forum like Nairaland should be an open forum, not the one suggested to rules that will take civilian freedom of speech.

Discussion or opinion like the separation of Agbo and Deltas from Nigeria is part of freedom of speech. As long as such discussion did not lead to criminal activities, I believed, it would be wrong if role 9 is applied. Expression of ones thought in a forum as long as it's not a hate speech against any or group, but a polite discussion on a quest to knowing, should not be seen as a violation of rule 9.

I said this because doing a search about such topic, Google directed me here. That's when I saw the rule 9 discussion thread, which really makes believe it has been misinterpreted if not wrongly ruled.

This is just my opinion and I believed I've spoken for many.

Widen your reach, think whole of the internet, and the exchange rate makes working outside for people outside Nigeria more lucrative. If you are a programmer with ability and creativity you can canvass people abroad. USA or Europe. Obviously the name of the game is customer services plus a decent portfolio.

If you don't believe that kind of money is possible go to sites like Guru.com and freelancer.com speak to some of the programmers who are canvassing for clients their and people who are looking for programmers to handle projects for them then get back to me.

Remember this is freelance not a monthly salary paying job. each client you receive will be different, you are self employed. Just have a look around the net to see what I am talking about. Then if you doubt you have what it takes to make that kind of money, simply upgrade your skills with a pro online course. The money you spend will be well worth the investment if you are a programmer at heart and the certificate providers are reputable and accredited.

Well! I am a software engineer here in the United Kingdom and just graduated, with a start salary of £30,000 which means after deduction I still go home with £1989 = 900,000N at the time of post. But its so because things are very expansive here. House per month is £1200 at most and a lot of bills which depends on the individual. So for me a developer who is earning 200K in naira still live a posh live compare to us here in the UK. When I was still in Nigeria my House rent for a year was around 250K which means I don't have to worry for the rest 11 months.
