Honestly with regards to Nigeria nothing especially if you are from a very less privileged background. The thing with mechanic work I used to be one is that where you can get money fixing big men motors. You can't get such jobs without connections. Sometimes you need to belong to specific cults to get such contracts. Weird things happen in these cults like having sex with men and other really weird shit. If you are going to be working on cars for average Nigerians then I am afraid making money will be very tough. My street alone has over 200 panel beaters. If your prices are too much no one will patronise you. So you would practically be doing work at the same price as others. Not easy at all.


I recommend that you learn a trade. Go to ladipo or alaba or any major market find an Igbo man and join him in his business. It takes long but they teach you the rudiments of business especially how to succeed in a hopeless market like Nigeria. If you insist on still getting a skill, then look towards phone or laptop repairs. Go to computer village and volunteer yourself as an apprentice to any shop. At least the skill will give you access to a laptop and you make more money fixing phones than fixing cars at least in naija.

Even the phone repair sef there's no money there. Except you're fixing those high end phones, there's no money in phone repair. Abi na infinix screen of 6500, u charge 10k na I'm be money? I learnt that work for 6 months and I know the ins and outs of it. Most of the phone repair guys are in the same conditions as the panel beaters you described above.

Omho wahala dey o. I thought they had money o. There's a very huge oversupply of artisans in Nigeria o and the economy isn't making things funny.

Read this book... The richest man in Babylon.

It will broaden your mind alittle ... There is money in programming.. if you know how to target.

Besides that is the future .. every device will need to run on some software programmed by people like you and me.

well if you are not solving problems with coding it will not benefit you. Also you have to do some projects and have a github page to be able to make it.

well let’s talk about the coding. You have been coding quite already.
How pragmatic are your portfolio?
Can someone use your portfolio for a real life project?

There is no word as got stuck for 2 years in JavaScript. You didn’t want to press forward.

It safer you say you don’t wanna be a programmer than saying it didn’t work out for you. No portfolio, no project. Guess you were joking around then. Meanwhile then it means you didn’t start since 2019. You started and stopped at 2019

Well I am suspecting you kicked off with a bad fundamental journey. Probably used poor resources(W3school and fast-lane resources) or maybe you were just distracted with fancy stuff. That moment we call a kid in the candy shop

Well there is no way except understanding the fundamental knowledge of app development.
You need to understand common things. By understanding I mean able to be able understand concept such as
Array,
loops,
Functions,
decisions,
variables,
OOP,
Data structure,

And how to use this basic knowledge to atleast write fundamental codes to achieve an aim.

First ask yourself what you want to do.

Dart is for Mobile App Development.
Python is best for Data Science, Machine learning, and A.I.

For Mobile App Development, you can learn Dart and flutter framework. However, it is also good to learn either Java/Kotlin (for native android) or Swift (for Apple) in addition.

Just learn the basics of PHP and use the wordpress codex to learn how to build themes and plugins. Since you know React, look up the Gatsby documentation for headless Wordpress. Building Wordpress sites with React and WordPress as your backend.
