These days people have come to embrace the fact that impossible is nothing even women are more daring than men these days, very soon i repeat very soon women will take over technology in nigeria. technology drives the world. nigerian women will continue to learn from the likes of funke opkeke, omobola johnson, linda ikeji.

Don't be. In the next few years, Nigerian tech startups will be building products that will have markets across the borders of Africa. Flutterwave is already in over 20 countries. Interswitch too. Companies like Paystack and those we don't know yet too will probably join the gang. When these companies cross that line, cyber security would be a BIG issue for them and indigenous cyber security guys would be hot cakes. Besides, you can also go ahead with cyber security and ethical hacking and be a freelancer. The possibilities are endless.

One things the past few months have taught me is that in Tech, you can carve a niche for yourself and not end up being someone's slave.
Thanks dear.... of course I wouldn't give up just yet. l believe I'll surely get there.

That you don't have them around you doesn't mean they aren't there.
Way back in secondary school, we had 4 graduating ladies in technical class, in a class of 30.
And that's way back man, over a decade ago.

Exactly!

There are quite a few women in Tech in Nigeria who are really flying high; Ire Aderinokun and co. I know because I follow a lot of them on Twitter. Andela too has quite a number of female tech developers. But what many fail to realize is that tech is actually a large industry.

You can be a UX/UI person, project management, marketing, devops, support etc. And each of those fields have numerous opportunities that females can take advantage off. These days, I attend Usable (a meetup of the UI/UX community at CcHub) and I see quite a number of females who truly want to break into the industry.

The future is bright I must say

Dara Oke is another good one.
