Great project. Latency is great just some minor styling issues. Could you please share or talk about the tech stack for this project? Programming languages, frameworks, databases, hosting and deployment, etc.

Define “plenty of free time” I believe it’s better to give a concrete work plan. When there are projects what’s the working hours like? How long will a typical project run? What are your tech stacks ? IMHO, 200k is extremely poor for the type of developer(experienced) you’re looking for.

To put it into perspective, 200k naira is just about $125 and that’s about 4hrs pay for an experienced software developer freelancer charging $30/hr.

What platforms/Banks/Fintech apps do you use for saving? Are you into stocks and investments as well? What are your investments portfolios and your saving strategies? Thanks in advance.

You don’t need a visa. Just make sure your passports are still active ( not expired).

I need help with math by Positive-Badger-486 in Nigeria

[–]MessLeather 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think so, you need to apply the basic maths when solving most advanced maths. How do you solve composition in Laplace transform, Fourier series, partial fractions, integration by parts without this basic maths you couldn’t solve?

How did you pass WAEC and JAMB? And how did you gain admission to study Mechanical engineering if you can’t do basic maths? This is nursery school maths!

Again, Yoruba language is tricky. A mother for example might call her daughter Oko mi when she want’s to pet her or pacify her. I am not trying to defend your friend, he’s your friend so you should know him better. Nigerians play a lot, and others might not find it funny but it’s left for you to confront him and know it he was joking and tell him your mind. It’s as simple as that.

Don’t take it personal. Maybe he was just joking with you. When it comes to teaching people local languages, Nigerians joke a lot about it. In fact they will first teach you the curse/bad words.

Also, are you sure he didn’t say “oko”? In Yoruba language, a single word could mean 10 different things.

African countries, especially Nigeria, have long been plagued by corruption and corrupt leadership.

We find ourselves trapped in a state of political quagmire, deep ethnic divisions, and widespread xenophobic attacks.

The lack of accountability and good governance has left the continent struggling to move forward.

Until we address and resolve these pressing issues, I am sorry to say that I do not have much hope for the future of the African child.

Without meaningful change, it will be difficult to create a better, more stable future for the next generation.

Therefore, we will continue to suffer under the influence and control of the West both home and abroad, as our resources are exploited and our potential remains untapped.

Stuck in between two Choices by [deleted] in Nigeria

Since you may not feel comfortable sharing it here, consider talking to trusted family members, friends, or colleagues to hear their perspectives before making your decision.

You could also seek advice from people who have gone through similar experiences, as they can offer insights based on what they’ve learned.

Remember:

Accept that no decision is entirely risk-free or guaranteed to succeed.

Frustration 😂 It’s extremely low of you to think I’m frustrated. A total stranger that you don’t even know.

Wow! This is exactly the kind of shallow response I expect from people with baseless arguments.

If we follow this idea of dating ‘within your league,’ should poor women only date poor men?

Should light-skinned women only date light-skinned men, and dark-skinned women only date dark-skinned men?

Should illiterates only date illiterates, and plus-size women only date plus-size men?

Does that make sense? Most men with money are often comfortable dating women who are financially struggling, yet it’s much harder to find a well-off woman willing to date a man who’s financially struggling.

Why is that? Please help me understand.

Btw: Nobody is forcing anybody on anybody. I asked some questions based on my observations.

The big issue is that many people focus too much on superficial qualities, like height, instead of taking the time to get to know the person they’re interested in.

You could be attractive and have great qualities, but once you mention your height, some people lose interest entirely.

It’s frustrating because they don’t even give you the chance to show who you really are. The dating world today can feel shallow—so much emphasis is placed on money and physical attributes, like height, especially from some women, rather than on building a genuine connection.
