I think the problem is your level of operation. If you are just a webdesigner, hmn, you may suffer small. Because these days, people are looking for web-application developers.

I wasn't referring to you. I was just re-framing the question according to your earlier reply. Okay, can one survive as a web app developer only in Nigeria? When I say survive I don't mean "just exist". I mean live comfortably. Others can answer my question too.

For me, i can and have been surviving. However, you must have skills in getting jobs, and you must also develop yourself well. Nigerian clients don dey open eyes now, so if you cannot do the work properly, you must strive to increase your skills.

Lets hear other comments. . .

@Op if you are reading this, Don't blame the game or the players change the rule. When my daughter class teacher can install WordPress, Templates, and few plugins she is also a web designer.

Ya, you can but you need to organize tutorial class as well and also build your own money making machine website as well.

So, there is competion with quacks, but there are still ways of showing them which direction to take, this is by letting your work speak for you. I get 100% of my jobs based on recommendations, and i get quite a good number of jobs to get me very busy indeed. So for now, i am doing just fine and dont need adverts. Just saying my own point of view.
