I have a younger sister that is currently training to be a Software engineer. Can she come by your office probably intern a bit so she can see the prospects of this and stay motivated

no sir, what they need is ready made.

and beside, the director is not around for now, hes in the U.K in one of our office for some meetings.

when she has turned guru, you can quote me back, and if i am still here, i would link her up, because they need females.

There are few female software engineers(I know some) because women are generally
not attracted to professions requiring too much personal time sacrifice.

This insipid approach of sexualizing everything to the point of craziness is meaningless and mute to me!

To probe the reduced participation of the female gender in software Engr field is a perfectly legitimate inquiry.

But, to now start ego-massaging dames as being far better, whether innately or not, in these fallacious and outlandish non-empirical ejaculations are just plain pedestrian and crude to say the least!

Honestly i have been asking myself his question too,
I work in an international I.T company, as an admin officer, and truth be told, no female in our software department to complement these gurus, i think women should also be found in these profession in Nigeria.


If i can get some of the females, i would make sure i recommend them to my director, when he comes back from his travelling from our office in US and U.K

This isn't a generalization and perspective may differ. Ada Lovelace, world's first ever computer programmer was a woman. I believe women are capable of doing any job just as good as men and I'm a programmer myself and I love programming!
1)Many women feel they can't program when they actually can.
2)Women are holistic in approach to their life, they will not focus on just one thing. They prefer multi-tasking, whereas programming is a single threaded activity which requires motivation.
3)Women prefer being creative and social. They prefer jobs that have more communication with others and they feel programming is monotonous and isolating.
4)Some women(even some men) get a degree in computer science just for the sake of it and do not actually contribute anything to programming world. It's all about necessity and interest.
5)The lifestyle of a programmer, sit in front of a computer,stare and think is not appealing to a lot of women(Many of my female friends stated this).
6)Programming has become more of a profession than passion and here comes the cultural aspect, women are not encouraged to take up careers seriously.

please, I would like to learn from you..Here is my email-angelezeus@yahoo.com

i am a guy, and what they need is female, but then the director is not around yet to give a go ahead now to recruit or the position.

I think the whole intention of this post (or at least what it ended up achieving), was to bring to fore the bigger subject that there's a serious gender skew in the Tech professions in this country, not only programming.

And in fact, its not merely a Nigerian problem. Silicon Valley is filled with guys. Its just more skewed here and the reasons are obvious.

Tech industry in general is male dominated all over the world. Female IT and software engineers are a small minority everywhere. The only way to change this is to change the culture and encourage your daughters and sisters to go for tech careers.
