Greetings beautiful handsome nairalanders, as a young guy who doesnt like the country i found myself, i`ve been planing on how to leave here since i was 16yrs although i am from a very poor family, when i say poor i mean it not middle class but poor family, but as a young guy with a little wisdom of whats going on around the world, when i was sixteen brousing was my hubby untill i stumble to this great forum and after my daily job i will login to nairaland till i sleep, bk to topic, i am 19yrs right now, from the look of things i have no hope in this life apart from what i am going to write here,
to be contd....

So i have been browsing peacefully with my button phone (tecno 528) for the curious once, i logged in with the help of my elder sisters email adress, i would say she has a good phone (tecno spark7) bk to topic, i love everything about IT i mean it got to a point i was even begging nairalanders for laptop in my previous thread, so after thinking for a while, something came to my mind this year, since i am 19yrs and would say i love everything about tech.
i recently started a website design class for free with one Gods sent like that who decided to help me after studying my love 4 tech
to be contd...

PLS FORGIVE ANY GRAMMATICAL ERROR NA BEG I DEY BEG
Since i have no money to japa nor grab a bsc here (degree) i want to ask a question, like i said i love IT so much and someone wants to teach me programming for free, if i dedicate 5years to serious coding or whatever they call it, will i ever get a job offshore considering the fact that i have no degree? because most people here are travelling out with students visa.
NB: I am into programming not just for japa thing but because i love it

I want to dedicate 5 good yrs to programming before looking for job to use and japa thats when i will be about 25yrs old.
I nee advice pls remember there is no cert.

Do you have Waec certificate?

OP, I'd advice you to consider travelling via the study route since you're 19. You might have to do a lot of research though. Luckily for you, this video on that addresses all your study concerns was on the travel section two days ago.

How you can relocate to Canada on study visas in 2024.

Sixteen Nigerians like you who also want to japa discuss all the things you have to take into consideration including the purpose of visit, financial sufficiency, Family ties and documents you need. I suggest you listen till the very end and perhaps take some notes so you can begin preparing.

It's a very practical conversation, highly educative and thankfully, they aren't selling you anything. Pay particular attention to what the Lady called Daisy says she might have to do when she finally relocates. Don't believe anything any travel agent tells you unless you verify first.

You can thank me later.

All the best.

You must have a laptop for programming

Am about to venture into programming but I did not have the tools yet

What you need to travel is money

Go do college in US

Damn!

17yrs me Following you on my nokia x2 button phone with plans to japa too :-)
Chop knocku

To start with, I once had a laptop when I was in Jss2. That's when I became computer oriented. Guess what? I killed the laptop with GTA game.
Now I have no laptop.

In 2020, I journeyed into programming by googling 'how to start programming' with free opera mini data on my brother's phone.
I got introduced to Python.
I used opera mini data with its daily limit to learn python everyday until my brother went back to school after lockdown.
Them I took Python free tutorial at w3schools.com on the popular itel it2160 button phone. I bought airtime and I use Airtel PAYU to avoid data validity limit
I used my parent's laptop to practice. My papa flog me wella those days ehn.
My mother was lenient cos I've solved one of her Microsoft issues using coding.

Since Python is my first computer language, I conceive any project I get in Python first.

But since then, I've touched Java android app development, windows batch programming and I've fully covered Html and css
I thank God for the owners of w3schools.com and their free tutorials.

Well, I guess we are almost the same
The only difference being that I'm in 100level computer engineering.
I get the opportunity to meet computer minded people.

One of my course mates and age mate, a girl, is my motivation.
As hard as Java is, this girl made it her area of specialization. A GIRL.
Also she is related to the Famous Philip Emeagwali.

She is the one that keeps my programming dream alive now.

She actually asked me to map out my road map to wealth after my final exams for the semester today.

I am thinking of moving into machine learning and Ai due to its popularity now.

My programming education is currently halted because university wan suck all my blood. And I'm also waiting for the laptop my senior sis promised me.

Greetings beautiful handsome nairalanders

I do not comment usually on Nairaland cos of my button phone. But I hope I was able to stir the passion in you with what I wrote up there.

I'm also happy you find nairaland interesting. Many people are on tiktok cos they don't like reading.

You can get a bachelor's degree in computer science from the University of the People. The website is uopeople.edu. It's an online American university from Pasadena, California.

As far as you have a waec certificate, they will always accept you, but you must pay a 60usd registration fee, which is about N60k. If you have a laptop and internet, you can start the course on their next resumption date.

You can read and watch reviews about the degree and university on the internet. The quality is really good. You will also meet students from all over the world and lots of Nigerian students there in their online student portal.

I registered for their business degree program (and dropped out) a few months ago before recommending it to a friend, and it was really good. So consider it.

If you are very good at computer science, the world is your limit. Companies that will employ and sponsor you out of Nigeria plenty. Just make sure you give your best.

@pansophist Wow thanks so much for your recomendation, you said about 60k? Per semester or let me put it this way how many times will i pay them in a year? The duration? Is it normal 4yrs or thiers is not upto 4 years?

Wow, your story is captivating
How are you able to cope using phone to do programming, especially with python

I only used phone to learn the theory, I also jotted out on paper. So I practice whatever I learnt whenever I have access to any of my parent's laptops.
