LEAVE THE FVCKING COUNTRY

Lool someone is pissed.

Just leave dis useless people

Disagree......Create some cool sh*t....I've worked at a few tech hubs in Nigeria and a lot of work done there is kinda mediocre. Like for example, most people think tech is all about mobile apps and web development you hardly see any ML or A.I junkie, and before you mention schools not doing their jobs keep in mind Elon Musk knew jack sh*t about space but he read a lot of books on the subject and now he owns probably the biggest private space company in world, SpaceX

I call Nigeria, You mention Elon Musk... Anyways, Dude our environment and system does not support creativity in anyway. The most successful career in Nigeria is politics... You want the full gist?

Dude read and comprehend what I wrote. I made reference to musk cos my point is 'You don't need school to be a master at something'. Like I said, rather than being pessimistic, create cool sh*t.

I understand your point bruh. What I'm saying is our environment isn't condusive. Do you know how long it takes me to render a 1-minute animation because of lack of electricity? In Nigeria sadly, You kinda need school.

I like as you want to encourage the local artists but if we are to be realistic... Your mate overseas with similar skills and skin colour and work ethic, would consider your monthly earnings as chicken-change... In fact some spend your entire monthly income on coffee (at Starbucks).

If you want to be a YouTuber for instance, and don't have money, you just need to go to a public building and get free WiFi but in Nigeria, you would find money for night browsing and their is a 40% chance their might not be electricity after subscribing or poor mobile network... If you finally get a foreign client (because locals don't appreciate art), PayPal wouldn't allow you to collect money because you are Nigerian...

Over 10 years ago, I joined an online membership gallery (that time artist use to make at least 3000 dollars a month, just before the stock market crash in USA), many times people who contacted me about my art would end the email correspondence once he discovered I was a Nigerian... Till this day, sites like yessy.com don't allow Nigerian artist to join (back in the days, that was the hottest place to sell your art as they bought Google ads but I don't think they are relevant anymore).

And please don't misunderstand me, you can make it but you have to work bloody harder than your mates in developed countries and have a long term perspective...

Except you have lots of money to buy spot on CNN and other international medias, then you would explode because you would set yourself as an authority in your field.

It is not over night sha.
