Hi! I'm Adaeze, a Customer Support Agent with 3+ years of experience turning frustrated customers into happy ones I've worked across phone, live chat, email, & CRM platforms. Open to remote customer support roles — let's connect! #CustomerSupport #OpenToWork #remotework

Basic remote work must-haves: 1. Start with a Lenovo ThinkPad or Dell Inspiron 15, Core i5, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD. That is enough to begin. You do not need a MacBook to take your first client. 2. Minimum 8GB RAM. If your laptop is still on 4GB, that is your first upgrade. 3. If you do not have 24/7 AC, do not buy a full leather chair. You will sweat through your productivity. Get a high-back mesh chair that is breathable and spine-friendly. 4. If the chair has no adjustable headrest, it is a dining chair with wheels. Do not be deceived. KAB Executive or Emir Premium are the gold standard in Nigeria, inflatable lumbar support built for long hours. 5. Your desk needs at least 60–75cm depth. Anything less and your monitor is too close to your face. Tech neck is real and it is expensive to fix. 6. If your table has no grommet, the hole for cables, your setup is already giving chaos. A clean desk is a clean mind. 7. A height-adjustable desk, manual or electric, is an essential. Eunicon makes them locally. 8. A UPS is not optional in Nigeria. Felicity or Luminous, 650VA minimum. It kicks in before you even notice NEPA has taken light. 9. If you can afford it, get a LiFePO4 power station, EcoFlow Delta series, or Bluetti AC180. They charge fast, last for years, and will not embarrass you during a high-stakes call. 10. A 20,000mAh power bank that charges laptops. Anker or Baseus. This is your last line of defence and it should always be charged. 11. Stop relying on your phone hotspot for serious work: a dedicated 5G router, MTN, or Airtel. If you can afford it, Starlink is the conversation ender. No excuses for your connection. 12. Keep a second SIM on a different network. MTN fails, switch to Airtel. No excuses. 13. Sony WH-1000XM6 or Bose QuietComfort Ultra for noise cancellation. If you can still hear your neighbour’s generator during a call, your headphones have failed you and so have you. 14. If you cannot afford those yet, Oraimo FreePods or JBL Tune series. Your client should not hear your environment, ever. 15. If you are still using your laptop’s built-in 720p camera, you are telling your client you do not care about detail. Logitech MX Brio or C920, positioned at eye level. Minimum standard for credibility. 16. One ring light or Lume Cube, set at 45 degrees. Natural light is free until the sun moves at 2pm. 17. An external hard drive or an active Google Drive subscription. 1TB minimum, one laptop crash should not end your business. If you are earning in a global currency but your setup is managed, the math is not mathing. You do not need everything at once, but every upgrade should be intentional. Your setup protects your back and your professional image.

@AnnSogunro Thank you God

My husband lost his dad last year March and he traveled for the burial, before then our Pastor has told us he dreamt that a child fell into the well. And within that period, we were digging two wells, one in the church and one in our house both unfinished. Fast forward to when my husband traveled to bury his dad, one a Sunday evening, after church, I was inside with my little baby, and my three older sons were outside playing. Suddenly, my second son ran in and said he can't find his younger brother, I stood up and ask him to soro soke. He said he was riding their bicycle, he turn and didn't see his immediate younger brother again. I jumped up and my mind went straight to the well. I got there and found my son at the bottom of the well filled with water to his neck, I could only see his head, he said mummy I am sinking, my heart skipped, my husband wasn't home, how do I explain that he went to bury his dad only to return to a dead son. I called my two eldest sons to get me the ladder in the house, that day, if I was going to die, I was ready to lay my life down for my boy. I took the ladder with how heavy it was, I held it in-between the well, and told him to climb, where that strength came from till today I don't know. I held the ladder and he climbed, that was how I brought him out, if you see how I was shaken that day, ha God 😢.

@bigwizarrdd The last ma man was so brave

Igbo nwere ngabasi.. Preserve our culture

Chief Mrs Chimamanda Adichie blows hot on Igbos who give their kids meaningless Igbo names like Zara, Cassie and Jida, while using derogatory terms like " Eji igbo Eje Ebe "

Find yourself, find purpose, find jesus. Keep improving yourself as a woman, not for validation.. The right man will come and stay and they won't be intimidated.

Internship was designed to help job seekers have real life experience. Why is experience needed to get experience?

@Mareeyah_ Damn!!!!!

The wildest thing is that those children belong to her sister's husband.

@ChiLaHotie Lord is my turn

I need someone that believes in the same God i serve to type, “Lord it’s my Turn” .. Faith moves mountains!

@Tobielobba As a starter in the remote space.. Still bidding for remote roles, never gotten one.. What will you recommend as a starter then once I start earning I should go for.. Regarding network

Basic remote work etiquette: 1. A dedicated workspace is not a luxury. Your bed is not an office. 2. If you don’t have a professional profile photo, you are not serious yet. 3. Your data subscription is a business expense. Budget for it like one. 4. Slow response time will cost you clients faster than bad work will. 5. Working from home does not mean you should not brush your teeth or bathe. Get dressed and smell nice please. 6. Back up everything. Your laptop crashing is not your client’s problem. 7. Eat good food, you can cook or buy food, always feed the body that works for the money, or else you'll spend it in the hospital. 8. If you cannot work without the TV on, you are not actually working. 9. “I’ll send it today” means today. Not midnight or the next morning. 10.Your time zone is your responsibility. Nobody is obligated to adjust for you. 11.If you have not raised your rates in the last 12 months, you are working for less than you were last year. Inflation is real. 12.If a client does not pay you on the agreed date, send a polite follow-up, and if there is no response stop working. 13.A foreign client is not automatically a better client. Some of them are the worst and most toxic. 14. Fibre internet and Starlink are not a flex. Stop managing with a bad connection and calling it a hustle.

@GbolahanOlanyi0 Welcome home

During the time this movie was released, I was in the kidnappers’ den with no hope of surviving, no hope of ever seeing my life again. Every moment felt like the end, like I wouldn’t make it out alive. But today, I stand here as a living testimony. Glory be to God that I am alive to share my own story. 🤲🏽🥹

@Bisolabair @IgboHistoFacts All are more developed than Lagos and Abuja

@IgboHistoFacts Which of the southeast state is more developed that the other region?

“Being president doesn’t change the fortune of a tribe. The Igbos are the 6th richest tribe in the world. They’re also the 4th most travelled. If the presidency truly changed a tribe’s fortune, other tribes that have held power would be more successful than the Igbos. No region in Nigeria is more developed than the Southeast — except states that once held the capital.” – Dr. Charles Apoki
