Honestly speaking am not a big fan of paying attention to what others think or say about me because I believe that life will not get easier, you as a person just get stronger, wiser, more skillful etc.
Why am saying this is that being a Nigerian is a pride to me, so if most remote jobs are close to us, to me it's their loss because we have more to offer than most of those set of people they open it for, that's why I will always recommend learning a digital skill like trading coding, web designing etc, these are skills that will pay you good money any day any time, and one thing you need to know about most of this skills is that you will not have to be at the mercy of anyone, if you are truly good, you will always be needed.
I am a crypto trader, I don't have to rely on anyone to earn a living in the market, I get rewarded by my performance, so why am saying all this is that shit or terrible things will always happen, you just be strong enough mentally, intellectually, digitally or any form to create a way to navigate your way around it, or as our leaders are not doing well should we continue feel pity for ourselves? No, just cry if you must but giving up is never an option because a true Nigerian never surrenders.
Web designing go still require you to get employed or get gigs from people that need your services. I am a free lancer and I actually understand what OP is talking about, I have had negotiation break downs because of I said I was a Nigerian, and some of my colleagues way don Jakpa have now began to see opportunities way them been no dey see for here. I no go advice trading if person no Dey interested in it. Freelancing is still hot just that Nigeria need to get better image to the outsiders. Things don Dey better already.
