Ah, I knew something was missing! I'm all for remote work please o, but whether it will scale to tens of millions of Nigerian people remains to be seen. I'm definitely for it and very hopeful though!

When you're scrolling through a slew of rejection mails, searching desperately for succour, only to get a mail from Hameed's newsletter that says: "Stop looking for a job. You will not find one." Lmao, you have learned this clickbait thing well.

Great article btw, but while I admit that entrepreneurship is the most feasible answer for many people, as our spending power reduces everyday, one day even entrepreneurship may not be enough.

Another option is remote job. Earning in dollars while spending naira.
