N450 Million?at 13?wow.

At 13, I was still selling cold water with cups( before satchet water started) at Oshodi.

We need to change this culture in Nigeria, of forcing children to be part of breadwinners in families,so that their potentials can fully be utilized.

At 13 my only dream was to have a bicycle,and some pocket money for Asaro(Porridge) in school. This N450 Million would have helped me a lot.

True talk. Thats why we beat them to first class in their own varsity. If you have the resources then you only limited by your imagination. If you dont see electricity for 2 straight weeks how would your skills sharpen.

Men! and am 17 and cant even get my inventory management system up and runing. Damn! this baby programmer just gave me the competition of a lifetime. Where is that stupid laptop? This thing is too much. No! i don vex.

NEPA will be like.. what is wrong with this one? Come code make i see u. lol.

First of all, let me say it is quite encouraging and motivational to many kids out there and here.

Taking or wanting this to happen in Africa we must change some of our mentality.

To be frank with you, alot of parents would scold their child who is taking a lot of time with a laptop than their schoolwork or even wouldn't want his/her child to have it.

Because there is this perception with africa parents that children learn alot of negative things with it and also waste their time.
They choose to criticize a child with a phone or laptop disregarding what the child is learning.

My point is we should allow the kids to explore also with making sure the kid isn't going a perverse way like fraud and all manner of illicit exploration.

According to the post, the kid start at the age of 5, many parents wouldn't let their kids have such privilege of having a laptop or a phone.


Another thing is environment

if you are in a place like nigeria, it is very slim to be like that kid.
At the age of 9, taking about ios, javascript, sql, injection, web development is more like talking garbage to an illiterate Nigeria parent. No support and no encouragement.

Also, availability of material, money and understanding people.


Another point is the perception of "you must go to school to make it big"

this is with Nigeria parents, they won't encourage you when you are having an idea of creating any internet stuff.
If this kid were to be a Nigerian, i can bet, the chance of being what he is today would be slim.


The thing is your environment and your culture.

If you want to be like this kid or someone great like bill gate or mark zuckerberg, in Nigeria here, you must go contrary to how people view things here.

At 14, i was still going to wait for one Ngozi (a girl i was infatuated with) under a mango tree near our school. At 14, i was still jumping Papa Ugo's 404 pickup back from school. At 14, i was still acting 'police and thieves' film with toy gun with other children in the compound.

We need to change our thought process in Nigeria because this outdated school curriculums is not helping

It only make graduates dependent and not self reliance
