Currently Nigeria’s citizens are struggling to make ends meet with little to no salary to survive on. The rise of food and living expenses make it all the more difficult. Also some individuals who don’t want a regular job but want to be able to earn and sustain themselves find some difficulty applying for remote jobs especially from other countries because of Time difference, electricity, poor internet connection etc. They also have to compete with various individuals from other countries for a job etc . It makes it all the more challenging and the local individuals don’t really have a chance. Another problem is some remote jobs in Nigeria don’t really pay well and so the individuals are mostly discouraged by this and don’t have liberty to choose what they should be payed for their services.
Create a platform for individuals working the 9-5,self employed, students etc., to have small side jobs that would help them earn extra money and it would be convenient for them to work remotely.
This is for you if you are

While an Interview refers to a one-on-one conversation between an interviewer and an interviewee.
I got a total of 20 participants for the survey and interviews. this was to validate that it is difficult to find remote jobs in Nigeria and the constant need for extra income. After going through the replies I complied most of the common replies.

● “Most people think remote jobs are accessible”
● “It’s difficult to find a company that suits you and doesn’t try to exploit you”
Common insight
Even though remote jobs are everywhere it’s hard to find the right fit and you're always prone to exploitation especially as an inexperienced individual.
● “I have a remote job and I think one of the downsides is the time difference especially if it requires you be available at certain times”
● “I enjoy how working remotely allows you to work on different projects simultaneously”
Common insight
Remote jobs provides the flexibility and diversity of choosing your own projects but the time difference are often off putting.
Here are some other insights

It was kind of tricky coming up with the visual presentation of what the website would look like and how it could function.
To completely grasp the situation of remote jobs and unemployment in Nigeria i really had to look into a lot of articles which took me some time to go through.
I appreciate how much Nigerians are beginning to welcome the changes that come with technology and how much growth has come too.
