Nairaland Forum

Nigerians, we just love associations, perhaps just to be called Chairman organising committee, Secretary General, Treasurer, High table members

associations with no benefit, just regular application forms with scratch cards to boot!
Seminars, Talkshop, Workshop, Retreats

Formality reduces efficiency.Our coming together doesn't have to have the formality cloak of a registered body,we can only make progress when there r no strings attached.

Let's not just start prolonging the issue, we need it.
I think we should start by having a community that we bring all Nigeria programmers together, then we can further the discussion.

So where is the forum?

NaturaLly, programmers are solitary people. Very individualistic. We do not usually move in packs. That's why there isn't a programming association. But we could start something though. It would be fun, to interact with fellow programmers - people that can understand each other.

What is the out come of this thread. Is there any standing association yet?

I strongly subscribe to this idea. But first of all, let us organize a programmers forum perhaps in Lagos. we'll be able to make our voice heard, interact with other programmers. Already nigerian is gaining trust in nigeria programmers. Let's do it

Its a good idea i started a club in Port-Harcourt which i called Port-Harcourt Coders Club the attendance was much but most Nigerians don't believe in Partnership most persons were also not real programmers. The truth is that the current computer association is only interested in money. Secondly the software community has not fully developed in Nigeria so programmers don't get challenging jobs apart from creating websites.

Current professional bodies in Nigeria -

NCS- NIGERIA COMPUTER SOCIETY
NITDA-NIGERIA INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT AGENCY
ISPON-INSTITUTE OF SOFTWARE PRACTITIONERS OF NIGERIA - MOST RELEVANT TO PROGRAMMERS
NIRA-NIGERIA INTERNET REGISTRATION OF NIGERIA
ITAN- INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY OF NIGERIA
CPN - COMPUTER PROFESSIONALS OF NIGERIA
NCC-NIGERIA COMMUNICATION OF NIGERIA

Yet, the industry is still a "baby"..do you still think adding to the above list would make any meaningful difference.

Proving oneself by obtaining mind-blowing portfolios through projects executed is a better alternative. This would attract the attention of the government, not only here in Nigeria but also the international community.

Wonder what happening to this wonderful idea that was born since January 2011.

I'll love to be part of this.

Just bumped on this thread now.
So has the association started, where's HQ
I'm a newbie and my interest is really a developers/programmers conference like we see in developed countries.
An avenue to come together, learn from each other, learn new technologies and move our industry forward.
someone hook me up @zeelz
