One of our students recently interviewed for a remote opportunity, and during the interview, she was told that they don't currently work with people from her geographical location.
It got us thinking.
Can we all agree that Nigerians are:
🇳🇬Intelligent
🇳🇬 Resilient
🇳🇬 Hardworking and committed to getting the job done.
🇳🇬 Responsible and capable of working with minimal supervision.
🇳🇬 Capable of competing and delivering at a global level
Nigeria has its challenges, but the media also needs to stop constantly painting Nigerians and Nigeria in a negative light.
The stories we tell about a country can shape how people outside the country perceive its citizens.
And those perceptions can have real consequences for Nigerians seeking opportunities in the global remote job market, business and international partnerships.
We need to tell the full story.
Yes, talk about our problems. But also talk about the Nigerians building companies, working globally, solving problems, creating jobs and delivering exceptional results.
Nigeria has challenges. But Nigerians have talent, skills and value to offer the world.
