I need pounds ooo. Who want naira ejor

Your best bet is to look for a "reputable" walk in "Naija" money transfer shop "near" you and once you agree rates with them you will probably first have to transfer the Naira into their Naija bank account and once they verify it they will then give you the agreed pounds in physical cash. but you have to use one who is near you so that you can always walk there to collect the cash and better to use one recommended by a friend / neighbour. With purely electronic transactions, they would probably not do it for you as they only do that for people they've dealt with before. You may be lucky to find someone on here who needs Naira but if not, then the physical Naija money transfer shops near you are an option.

In other news @all, if you have money please don’t chop/invest all, send your kids to good private schools if you can. The one near me, girls MUST wear knee length skirts to school, mini skirt is strictly forbidden

Welll..... there been privately schooled people who dab into drugs ie diane abbott son. I think its the grace of God.

Someone raised in the uk once joking told me that majorities of the black boys will be into drugs . The gov /free school boys will be the seller and private school boys will be the buyer so there no escaping it. Although I guess it was said as a joke with so element of reality for some.

.

Private (or public schools as they're known sometimes) are generally better than state schools (usually because smaller class sizes allow for more attention to be given per pupil and for white children the well-known private schools are a step into the old boy network, if you're black, brown or not white, sha avoid places like Eton, na waste of your parents' money), but better morality among privately educated children is not one of the reasons why.

The same argument about morality was the reason many parents in Nigeria gave for sending their children to church/convent schools back in those days (and now as well), and for those who know when we were growing up seminary/church school girls had the worst reputations possible while it was said their boys always knew where to find weed, and I have no reason to think that that's any different for the new generation of Nigerian churches and their schools. Over-restriction and over-moralising sometimes leads to the wrong outcome - witness the stereotypical characterisation of how priests' children tend to turn out.

Lagosismyhome's comment is sadly sometimes correct.

Many are mad, but few are roaming.
I fail to see how whoever is "advising" Buhari would think that this was a good look for a government whose credibility is at zero and falling.
Twitter deleted your post, you fire one broadside at them and ignore them. By escalating the matter with this preposterous "suspension", now the attention of the world's media will swing back to Nigeria for a day or two (more important things to deal with), and in that time them go launch several broadsides at the mad people in Abuja, dissecting the current state of things in Nigeria and the incompetence of its government which they will be unable to ignore.

This present government, does not understand the term 'de-escalate..... Their approach is always got a violent undertone......

Criticise them, they call you wailers....... Not a listening government at all....

Let's see how long it takes them to backtrack........

Inside IR35 means although you are not a permanent staff, but you be taxed like a permanent staff (paye) . You can google salary calculator and it can give you an idea of what your pay would be after tax

Outside ir35 , you can be paid using your own limited company so you inital pay won't be taxed like a Paye but more like how a business is taxed and run

Others have given you the answer.
In addition: get an accountant going forward. It is possible for one to have a mix of inside- and outside-IR35 gigs, and the need for someone professional to sort things out will become very apparent very quickly.

My thought exactly, this will be really embarrassing to them when they start seeing many Nigerians still using the platform even with the ban.

Even inside Buhari house his wife and children will still be tweeting including Lie Muhammad. Somehow I feel Nigerians deserve Buhari as the consequence for betraying Jonathan. Even though they are all corrupt

Nigerians don't deserve better than Buhari, we are who we are.

We are good at writing pages after pages of complain but lack the backborn to take action.

We will still vote in another useless president after Buhari

No one betrayed Jonathan. If anything, he was the one that betrayed those that rallied around him when Yar’Adua died and subsequently gave him the ticket for another term to complete their tenure (Yar’Adua/Jonathan’s second term). Legend has it that he promised he would not be seeking another term for himself and he would allow power to return to the North in 2015. However, he reneged on that agreement, claiming there was nothing like zoning in Nigeria’s constitution. That was what made a lot of prominent people to turn their backs on him, including Obasanjo, Kwankwanso, Saraki, Wamako, Amaechi, and their nPDP co-travellers, but he arrogantly claimed they all had no electoral value and he could win without them. That was how we ended up with Buhari, who had thrice contested without success. His final emergence was more of a payback (protest vote) against Jonathan, not a betrayal as you’d want us to believe.

PS: I’m not a Buhari supporter (not anymore) but I was one of those that felt betrayed by Jonathan (who we massively supported against Turai and the cabals in 2010-2011) and I believe that actions must have consequences. Jonathan was no saint, let’s not start reminding ourselves of all the atrocities he committed by himself or through proxy.

For student jobs
Ask locally for the job agency in your area.... and then register with them. They would have the latest shift and work and usually willing give it to candidates they have registered

Imagine we are at a point when the incompetent and corrupted administration of Jonathan now seems heavenly... na wa

Abeg Buhari is terrible but Jonathan was by no means good by any standard. We just went from bad to worse and not good to bad. Should we really sing any single praise for Jonathan, if we do then we deserve what we have now

There was an extensive discussion of this issue on pages 587 and 588 of this thread. Go through those pages and see the suggestions that people made, starting from word-of-mouth/personal contacts/agencies (the likes of Blue Arrow, Reed and so forth) all the way down.

I know of a couple of students who just walked into a nearby supermarket and asked if they had some shifts available.

As someone else mentioned, you can post an anonymised CV here if you like. However you format it, make it precise and readable. Tailor it to the job you're applying for where applicable. Most of these student jobs are open to all, or are shift/zero hours, so detailled discussion of the size of the CAPEX one managed while working in procurement at Nigerian Breweries for instance should be left for roles where that makes sense. Leave out long talk.

If you're applying online for some of these shift jobs and have to include a cover letter, make sure it's drafted in excellent English. Keep it short too, that way fewer mistakes are made. And, strangest of all, be sure to answer your phone when it rings. Could be anyone. Scammers cant scam you simply because you answered the phone. You're a foreigner with a funny African name and a different accent, so don't compound your job market situation with a "Who is this speaking?" Always answer with a sharp-sounding "Hello. Good morning/afternoon." Wait for the person on the other end of the line, make them talk their own. Make sure your email address is professional - your. name@whatever.com. Leave out the sexydiva443@gmail.com type of stuff. And so on and so forth.

Covid has had one somewhat silver lining - the large number of jobs that have moved online/become remote. Customer service, all that type of thing. You can make up your 20 hours with some of those types of roles, all from the comfort of your home.

Above all, keep at it. Don't get discouraged. When looking for a job, rejections come with the territory.

He doesn't need to buy votes, Nigerians' votes have never counted.

I don’t know where u read the bolder from but anyways I’ll rather have corrupt Jonathan, than deadbeat Buhari ....
If you actually read my statement, you would have seen where I stated that “they are all corrupt”...
Don’t even try to compare Jonathan’s administration to Buharis because you’ll loose this debate..
Buhari has once been a failure when he was a commander in chief and he has been repeating this backwardness since 2015 and yet you talking about Jonathan.... I’m waiting for you to outline the failures of Jonathan that outweighs buharis failure. You can’t even compare ObJ 8yrs to Jonathan’s 6yrs ...

Agreed.
As you said, they're all corrupt, but if anything, at least Jonathan was not malignant and destructive the way Buhari is.

Now I get the gist lol. “They are all failures, but one failure is better than the other”? Yeah, right!

I wasn’t comparing, I only set the records straight about the “Jonathan was betrayed” part of your post. He wasn’t betrayed, he only reaped what he sowed when he betrayed those that helped him into power.

I’m not a politician (Pdp or apc or whatever). But I can confidently say Nigeria was safer pre-2015 than now.
The likes of Buhari and his cronies orchestrated bokoharam to frustrate Jonathan and now the same bokoharam has boiled out of control.
Even as at that have you seen where any member of this government condemn the atrocities of bandits/ killer herdsmen or bokoharam?...
Did you hear where they condemned the shooting at lekki toll gate ?
Instead they were busy putting up propaganda here and there.
And yet you’ll come here and be saying “you were betrayed by Jonathan”
Can you even visit your village without thinking about your security?

I didn't support Buhari in 2015, but once he was voted in I became an automatic Buhari supporter. I did have bad memories of his 1985 appearance (the lousy currency change and the queues), but this means that I don't care who is there as long as they do a good job and manage the country as well as possible so we could all thrive in it.

I did think that Buhari would be like Obasanjo, bringing in competent technocrats to get things done while he sat back and frightened those practicing kwaruption, just by being there.

How wrong I was. The most incomprehensible thing about him was how he went about what Obasanjo has called the "mismanagement of our diversity". Even Dele Momodou, who normally writes rubbish, has spoken about how it seems as if the current government's plan is to actually cause division and discord in Nigeria, based on the way Buhari has handled the whole herdsmen/insecurity issue, keeping silent all the time, allowing his men to issue foolish statements (better to hand over your land than die, Benue farmers, accommodate your brethren, so they will stop killing you, shoot everyone you see with an AK-47 on sight (so soldiers now kill people and take photos of them with guns on their corpses)etc.), and relentlessly appointing northerners everywhere in a primitive country where ethnic tensions are always present even at the best of times.

Nigeria has never had a good government by any standards, but this one is the worst. I don't want Nigeria to break up, not because I think corporate Nigeria is better than Oodua Republic or Biafra or whatever, but simply because I don't think we can sit down and break up peacefully, there will be violence, and once violence starts in Africa these days, it never stops. However, the people in power who actually have the means to bring about desired outcomes don't seem to be of the same opinion, they say unity and send soldiers to the east to kill innocent people. As far back as 2015, IPOB could have been safely ignored, locking up Kanu crystallised whatever he says he's fighting for. Makes no sense at all, no sense whatsoever.
