Nigerians,this Is Your Time To Code! by plote: 7:44pm On Jun 26, 2012
Computing has changed the world in profound ways. It has opened up wonderful new ways for people to connect, design, research, play, create, and express themselves. However, just using a computer is only a small part of the picture. The real trans-formative and empowering experience comes when one learns how to program the computer, to translate ideas into code.

These days we all have pretty fast computers with us wherever we go.And we really love them. It defines who we are.
But, should we continue to sit by and watch this amazing technology? Shouldn't we participate in defining it?
My answer to this is we can! And it would not even cost you anything to get started. Just time and energy is all that it would cost you! If your answer to my second question is "YES", then we can walk together. You will not even only walk with me, we will walk with global community of programmers and developers.

I would want you to make an intuitive guess what the above is. And do you think it is really difficult to figure out? Maybe yes, but my bet is that you will someday find out that it is not as difficult as 2 + 2. Remember that we were made to believe that 2 + 2 = 4. Is that really true? I will say a big "NO". Say we have two goats and two tubers of yam, is it not same as 2 + 2? And what do you think the answer would be?

Back to the reason for this write-up , it is to motivate you and to let you know that you can write your own computer programs. That your can write your own games, that you can turn your Microsoft excel and co into something amazing by adding a few lines of code. You can monitor your warehouses via your phone. You can open your gates with your phone. What you can do is only limited to your imagination and skill set(note that I am only referring to computers here). You don't need a degree or university education. One may say that I am wrong here. Okay, Microsoft, Apple, Facebook, and Twitter they all have one thing
in common. Guess what? They were all started off by dropouts. One may say that that is US not Nigeria. Now, let's sketch how to get started. We have thousands of free computer languages out there on the net. And most of them are Turing complete.
