Being in the era of ICT we have currently seen that the richest persons in the world are into internet global businesses that's benefiting mankind. such as Facebook, Amazon, Google, etc

The capitalization of the opportunities made possible by the Information Communication Technology are many both in software & hardware. & looking on to the future we can project many multinational companies springing up from this particular area that has change a lot of things in our society especially means by which we adapt & advance.

Here in Nigeria many start up entrepreneurs or already emerging companies are taking advantage of this field & sooner or later we will see them as Giant tech or social network companies.

My sadness really is that the one skilled profession exposed & constantly benefitting from this ICT opportunities which are the Web Developers especially in Nigeria don't seem to be far sighted.

They are lot of them & we see them here in this forum advertising their serives. My grievance is some don't see the need to actually being partners/shareholders to start up companies that in the future has the potential of being highly recognized & important organizations to the society just like Facebook, Google, etc.

there is nothing wrong if a web developer only wants to be hired or contracted by a company(s) and be paid whether through salary or direct billing.

but sometimes I feel the web developers especially in Nigeria should stop to think for a minute & get into his head this following facts.

1) If you are a web developer & you have done jobs for start up companies you could have known that you had the opportunity to have been a shareholder/partner to one or two them if you understood what they were about & aimed for, its future potential & then made a deal with your services in exchange for a share ownership to a lot of them especially those on a tight budget.

2) Applying the financial quadrant a freelance web developer is self employed & is subject to keep working in order to make earns meet & his earning can really be quite big or small in amount but the key factor is that he must work for it.

At the other side of the quadrant there is the investor who just invests, becomes a shareholder & is receiving monthly earnings without working for it. its those that are employed or hired that does many of the work.

3) A web developer in this current era where many businesses are going online could be a shareholder in many of them especially if he/she capitalizes on start ups that are tight in budget. Thus, becoming a billionaire & more in the future.
A self employed can never be a billionaire.

The real question now is are Some Nigerian web developers being investment minded driven ?
