OP is okay if u told me u did online fraud(yahoo boy) with foreign women, pls I would understand u, all u said looked so surreal


People are cashing out of Upwork. I made over 1000 dollars just last year doing a remote job as Data entry specialist with a newspaper coy in US. Haven't had a breakthrough on Upwork but my ex has made a huge fortune by being a content creator on Upwork. create a niche, be so good at it and be steadfast in applying for jobs. One day your job proposal will be accepted.

Going solo: using freelancing to finance the dream

At the point of quitting my HR job in Lagos, I decided to create an account on Upwork. The site was easy to create an account but I found it difficult to decide what to include and not include so I could make my profile attractive to clients. Nonetheless, I read a couple of things online and used the information to set up my account, and then left the account as there was no time to apply for jobs.

However, a few weeks after I resigned from my job, I got invited for a permanent job that would pay about eight hundred thousand naira (#800,000) per month. It was a US-based company and the client was willing to hire many people for the same role. Since I have never submitted any proposal in the past, I struggled on what to include and not include in the proposal. Due to my inexperience, I couldn’t write a good proposal and answered the screening questions poorly. This made me the only one that did not get the job out the four of us that were invited to apply. Although I didn’t get the job, I was happy I was considered. Then I continued to apply on both LinkedIn and Upwork. I got two other ones around October and November but didn’t earn anything from them.

In December 2021, I was back in Ogun State and penniless again, but this time like the proverbial prodigal son, broke and penniless. My aunt cried when she saw me because she thought I needed stability and I was not going to achieve that with my pattern of life that was filled with costly adventures. She didn’t understand why I couldn’t just continue with my job on the Island since the pay was not totally bad for someone with that year of experience. But for me, it was just a transitional phase towards something bigger.

From January 2022, I became more aggressive with my application, and by the middle of February, I landed a gig with a company in the US. This job took about two months and I earned about one million naira (#1,000,000) for the first time by the end of the project. I later got another long-term project with a company in Ireland. I got other big projects that I declined because they would run throughout the whole year and I was expecting to leave the country before then. Overall and for the first time ever, I made about three million naira (#3,000,000) from freelancing within seven months!
I am truly motivated by your story

The road to America

By the end of March 2022, I have received responses for all my school applications. I have four total offers with one being funded. I was very happy but I decided to keep calm as I have read several cases of people being denied visas at the embassy.

I proceeded to arrange for the payment of my SEVIS and visa fees. I had a little delay with the payment of my SEVIS fee, so I could not pay on time. For this reason, I missed the early dates that were released for the interview. When the money was finally paid, I started looking for interview dates in Abuja. This process was arguably one of the hardest as dates were always not available. After a series of sleepless nights and sleeping on my computer keyboard, I managed to get a date that was a few days to resumption. I picked this date and began my preparation for the visa interview.

When it was two days before my interview, I left Ogun State for Abuja by road. Prior to this time, I have read news of kidnappings on the road. Although the news greatly disturbed me and my loved ones, the flight cost was exorbitant and going for that option would create a big hole in my finances considering my current and future expenses.

I got to Abuja at night and lodged at a guesthouse for two nights. On the day of the interview, I woke up very early and went to the US Embassy at Diplomatic Drive. When I got there, I met other people who were the for the same purpose and I went straight to the front. About an hour later, we lined up and were told to go in after the checks.

Throughout the process, I was so nervous because the stakes were so high. Since I was the first person in the queue, I was also the first person to be interviewed by the visa officer. My interview lasted for less than three minutes and I was approved. I quickly took my files and left the embassy for the guesthouse. Then I called my family and friends to inform them about the good news. It seemed surreal! My visa has been approved and I will be going to America!

A few weeks later, I booked my flight and the travel was scheduled for December. After spending time with my family and loved ones, I departed Nigeria for the United States in December 2022.


Yes, dreams do come true! I hope someone will try again one more time before giving up on life.
Congratulations to you

A big congrats to you. Nothing good ever comes easy. I had shared my experience here times without number. Of all the good things of life anyone can boast of, a private jet is what I've not bought yet and if God permits, I'd surely have one before leaving this earth. Please while studying, I'd advise you look for opportunities which you could leverage upon here in Nigeria. Nigeria is a country where you can easily make it once and forever legit. Come back home after your studies with the tapped opportunities and develop them here, just like a few of us did with no regrets. I wish you the very best!

What can one come back to do profitably?

I am really interested

Please don't stop. I am sharing with my son to encourage him. He lost his admission into FUOYE Ekiti state because I couldn't pay for his fees. Last year November he resigned from his job with a coca cola depot in Ikorodu to get himself ready to sit for another JAMB. After informing his employer of his resignation he became very sick to the extent that all hope was lost but God restored his health and I promised him that God will send help to ensure he goes back to university. I gave him my last N15k two weeks ago to register for JAMB and I know God who restore health to him will make a way for him to go to university.
