We celebrate democracy today but we cannot ignore the reality.
Insecurity, uncertainty, and unanswered questions still shape our daily lives.
Yet, hope remains in the voices that refuse to stay silent.
Happy Democracy Day 🇳🇬

Dear Client.
Have clarity on the problem you want your designer to solve.
Restarting a project every time you have a brainwave is a funeral procession for your project.
My family tree is wild. My name is Yusuf, I have cousins named Somtochukwu, Kenjiro and Yuji. And I'm pretty sure one of my uncles is currently dating a Russian. That future family reunion is looking wild NGL.
1️⃣Perseverance.
Because it gets very murky very quickly
2️⃣ Grit
Because you’re going to have to stand in times when sitting is easier.
3️⃣ Consistency
Because that’s the only way you get better than you were yesterday.
4️⃣ Showing up
The bank alerts don’t roll in unless you do.

Getting USD gigs in Nigeria is an extreme sport, but not impossible.
The 3 places I know you can have a shot at this are
- Upwork
- Contra
- Fiverr(not my favorite but it works for some people)
Package your portfolio and also polish your profiles and case studies and post them there. It’s can be tedious to setup but just stick through it to the end.
Bear in mind that the market is very very competitive and you being in Nigeria already puts you at a handicap. But if you commit to it, clients will come.
Another way you can attract foreign clients is by using content creation to build your brand persona online (for credibility) then cold-emailing/messaging potential clients and pitching yourself to them.
Hope this helps

I am disturbed by how people attribute the results of their own foolishness and thoughtless actions, to God not doing something, or the devil who wasn’t even present doing it. Never makes sense….
