Hi everyone. I need your comments on this one.
I am currently pursuing BSc. in Accounting with Lagos State University and I am currently in my 300 level.
During the strikes and holidays, I got engaged somehow in learning some computer languages. I started with Python, then to JavaScript, Node.js and now I am currently learning Java and I plan to taking on C# or C++ also.
I have since then fallen in love with computer science but I'm somehow getting discouraged knowing very well that I'm going to have Accounting certificate anyway. I choose to learn more but I want to know if acquiring this skill will in any way help my career or if I can get a chance to get a programming job despite having an Accounting certificate. Thanks.

You should learn it,
You know how our country is, a chemist working in a bank, a farmer working in politics etc.
However iT is an extremely valuable skill and if you have passion it might end up being your calling.
I suggested you do both together.

Also how did you start Python did you learn through a book or what?

There is a free online course by Microsoft Learning featured on EDX.. I applied for the course and I have since then took advantage of their Computer Science Fundamental Curriculum.
