The Realities of Freelancing in Nigeria w/ @josediccus

@josediccus: I can still remember the day we recorded this, if you'd like to still have another session, we could do another one, it was enjoyable the last time.

@ryivhnn: Wish I could help with the back but I haven’t learned how to remote that yet 😅

@amberkashif: It was fun knowing about jose experience and routine with Hive and blockchain. He sleeps quite less. Makes sense. Playing games for 6 hours.... it pays, so it is beneficial. @selfhelp4trolls it is a wonderful initiative to know about people's experiences around the globe

@hive-elite: It happens such time when you get subscription for about one month and after the seventh day you got to realize that the subscription won't last you for more than two more days

@wofaipeace: Oppps!!! I can so relate to this. Thanks for sharing such an interesting experience.

@menoski: I truly enjoyed the session. I hope to see another session soon. Nice and correct narrative @josediccus

@jza: I think that more b roll or pictures would have been shown as seemed that the conversation and the video had nothing to do in common except maybe the Nigerian road which is too generic. Maybe you should try to insert videos of the street food places, and the fancy restaurants so we can see both sides of Nigerian cuisine. Also some images that better show what the issue was with the food, or the bad quality of places.

@chrisrice: Wow @josediccus, you engage a lot on Hive. Have you thought about trying

@ai-summaries: Here is a detailed summary article about the episode: Waking Up Early for Content Creation The host reveals that he typically wakes up around 5 AM, sometimes even earlier, in order to create content. He explains that he needs to be active and engaged during the late night hours, from around 11:30 PM to 2 AM, in order to maximize engagement on his blog and other online platforms. This unconventional sleep schedule has been his routine for the past 4 years while living in Japan, where most people work regular 9 to 5 jobs. The Challenges of Internet Access in Nigeria The conversation then shifts to discussing the challenges of internet access and data plans in Nigeria. The host explains that in Japan, he pays a fixed monthly fee of $90 USD for unlimited home internet and 50GB of mobile data, which is a very different system compared to Nigeria. In Nigeria, the host notes that internet access is quite expensive and limited, with major telecom companies essentially operating as a monopoly. The average Nigerian cannot afford to spend a lot on data plans, which are often manipulated by the providers. The host shares his own experience of purchasing a data plan that was supposed to last a week, but ended up depleting much faster than expected, cutting him off from the live session. The Cost of Living in Nigeria The discussion then turns to the cost of living in Nigeria, particularly the prices of meals. The host learns that in the local "buka" restaurants, a meal can cost as little as 30 cents, while more upscale restaurants charge around $5 10 USD. However, the host notes that the quality of food at the fancier restaurants does not always match the higher prices, and the local street food can sometimes be more satisfying. Perceptions of Nigeria Finally, the host reflects on how his perception of Nigeria has changed since engaging with the Nigerian community on the Hive blogging platform. He admits that prior to this, he had limited and potentially negative impressions of the country, but interacting with Nigerians has greatly expanded his understanding and appreciation for the country and its people. The host notes that Nigerians themselves have done a better job of showcasing the country's strengths, particularly through music and the success of Nigerians in academia and other fields abroad.
