@Fayimora,

Really? Why haven't you introduced them to this forum? Are they good programmers or computer scientist(if there's anything like that)? Which?

I personally have met just, let me count them, none!

Naija girls tend to shy away from technical stuff and even things that stimulate the brain; say in depth social and political discussions.

What they fail to grasp is that, there is something deeply romantic and sophisticated about a geek chick or a girl that is quite informed.

Hi everyone.

Looking around the world, you find very few females wandering into a career in computer science( and computer programming). Bringing it home, I've looked in this (programming) forum and don't seem to find any females responding to threads and posts. This makes me ask:
 1. Do we have female programmers here at all?
 2. Where you live or work you, do know any hacker/geek chics around (that are atleast averagely good)?

Just something I thought about.

Cheers

Yes, there are female programers. I do programming but I can't really say I'm a fan of it. It's part of my course study so I have to learn how to do it. When I have to do it for a class assignment then it bores me a bit but if its on my own time then I don't have an issue with it. My sister is pretty good on the other hand! Due to certain perceptions of Nigerian women, the number of women in this field is less than that of our male counterparts. Sadly, a lot of people don't expect Nigerian women to actually have a brain so when a woman is in a field that is traditionally male dominated, people tend to be surprised. Another thing is that as a society, I personally think women are at times discouraged from participating in certain fields. Its like when I play rugby, people who are Nigerian tend to give me the side eye when I tell them

So to answer your question, 1) yes there are female programmers and 2) I live in New York and yes I do know someone who is a hacker but none who are women.

Woman get dat kind brain? 

You'll notice that, unless she's special, women tend to shy away from the overly technical.
It's nothing to be ashamed of or take offence over really. Women are just mentally wired differently than men and with programming, it's all about the mental wiring.

Excuse me?

C'mon, who says Nigerian girls don't like these kind of things? I like politics and social discussions! Did it ever occur to some of you guys that because some of you all tend to assume we don't like things like politics, we don't talk to you guys about it?

How do you expect women to wanna talk to you about things such as politics and science when you perpetuate stereotypes about Nigerian women?
