Elvis Chidera(Nairalander), Village Boy Now A Global Programmer by hackman90: 6:39pm On Sep 06, 2019 |
Hello, Everybody after being away for a long time i decided to seek for help concerning a software project that i was to embark on so a young boy who i used to know 6years ago on nairaland came to my mind.Due to the fact that i could not remember his moniker i felt the need to search for him on google because i wasn't really clear about his nairaland moniker spelling so i searched for "Elvis Chidera" on google and what came up really got me amazed for those who knew how the little boy started should be happy also like i am.So today i took it upon myself to create an article of what i saw concerning this controversial passionate teenage programmer who started programming at the age of 11..He was always coming here to seek for financial assistance concerning his passion which was coding/robotics in which he got bashed concerning his identity(age) and also for being a fraud. Here are posts on him for those of you that were active in the programming,webmaster,computer thread as at 2013/2014 that might have forgotten whom Elvis is: https://www.nairaland.com/1341883/elvis-chidera-14-year-old-nigerian-programmer https://www.nairaland.com/1339891/14-year-old-nigerian-bulk-sms-app https://www.nairaland.com/1340886/lessons-learned-elvis-scam-saga https://www.nairaland.com/2097443/build-ecommerce-android-app while some encouraged him because he spoke and took decisions like an adult at that tender age(14) even a fellow nairaland programmer(Graphics plus) had to go a bit further to verify his identity for nairaland doubters.He is the Founder of the Xmx.me app developed in J2ME sdk app which he built with a nokia 2690 gifted to him by his cousin.He also caught the attention of Seun Osewa who is the founder of Nairaland and Seun's words to him goes thus "When you are done with school(SSS3) i might consider employing you as a startup programmer".But all thanks to Seun and those who encouraged/Sponsored him and to those who discouraged him.He is now in the spotlight and being interviewed on different platforms across the Globe and all Grown up. Moral Lesson:While on the path of pursuing your dreams/destiny stones would be thrown at you what you have to do is to pick them up and continue the race till you get there and watch those same people comeback to congratulate you-Hackman90 Here are is interview posts: https://medium.com/@elvischidera/responses https://techcabal.com/2015/02/02/yet-another-nairaland-redesigner-time-mobile-app/ https://aitoehigie./2013/01/28/how-i-hacked-up-a-nairaland-api-and-got-banned/ http://elvischidera..com/2013/09/how-to-use-nairaland-api-part-1.html https://edition.cnn.com/2018/01/12/africa/rural-nigeria-lagos-mit-startup/index.html?utm_source=fbCNNi&utm_campaign=africa&utm_medium=social https://twitter.com/Google/status/1047942837499834370 http://legit.ng/1162646-from-village-boy-epicenter-west-africas-tech-boom-meet-19-year-nigerian-developer-elvis-chidera.html https://web.facebook.com/CNNAfrica/posts/elvis-chideras-story-from-village-boy-with-nothing-but-a-basic-nokia-2690-phone-/2026839623999661/?_rdc=1&_rdr https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/how-i-went-from-programming-with-a-feature-phone-to-working-for-an-mit-startup-40ca3be4fa0f/ http://entrepreneurship.mit.edu/news/went-programming-feature-phone-working-mit-startup/ weetracker.com/2019/01/21/nigerian-elvis-chidera-dot-learn/ https://learntocodewith.me/podcast/learning-to-code-on-a-phone-with-elvis-chidera/ https://techcabal.com/2015/12/18/this-app-makes-exam-prep-sessions-look-like-a-day-in-the-game-truck/ https://www.africajobboard.com/coding-with-a-nokia-phone/ https://nationalambassador.com.ng/meet-elvis-chidera-nigerias-tech-whizkid-built-apps-nokia-phone/ https://www.developer.com/daily_news/how-to-become-a-developer-when-the-only-technology-you-own-is-a-feature-phone.html https://www.itnewsafrica.com/2019/04/why-data-light-apps-are-vital-for-developing-emerging-markets/ https://sociable.co/technology/nigerian-teen-coding-engineering-careem/ https://startupbeat.com/could-africas-startups-be-the-ones-to-watch-in-2019/31916/ https://www.techgistafrica.com/africa/quartz-africas-5-young-african-innovators-to-watch-in-2019/ https://appdevelopermagazine.com/creating-apps-that-work-without-the-internet/ https://ventureburn.com/2019/02/african-edtech-startups-model/ https://connectnigeria.com/articles/2019/02/app-of-the-week-prepup/ https://www.techdrum.ng/business/2019/05/03/heres-why-african-edtech-startups-are-struggling-to-find-a-viable-business-model/ https://www.africanexecutive.com/article/read/9765 https://www.brookings.edu/blog/africa-in-focus/2018/06/08/dced-2018-keynote-youth-employment-in-a-changing-world-implications-for-private-sector-development/ https://guardian.ng/technology/the-technology-freelancer-problem/ CONTACT HIM@: In Naira Marley's Voice "you can contact him": Twitter: https://twitter.com/elvisnchidera?lang=en Github: https://github.com/Elvis10ten Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/elvischidera/ Blog: http://elvischidera..com/ Android Community: https://android.jlelse.eu/@elvischidera Gitmemory: https://www.gitmemory.com/Elvis10ten Youtube: youtube.com/channel/UCcYAoYEA7q8UzkBWMxmuRAQ Crunchbase: https://www.crunchbase.com/person/elvis-chidera Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/elvis.chidera Pinterest: https://www./657314508092592365/ Videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ss0csG81s9A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7-8lGf-mSo Podcast: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/263-the-freecodecamp-po-29573537/episode/ep-16-from-programming-with-29574264/ https://podtail.com/en/podcast/learn-to-code-with-me/ [Other works created by him: https://inducesmile.com/android/our-android-code-competition-winners/ https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=elvis10ten.com.past_questions&hl=en https://apk.cafe/download?file_id=879225/jamb-cbt-waec-neco-prepup https://www.apkmonk.com/app/elvis10ten.com.sdk/ https://apkcafe.ae/download?file_id=1171970/jamb-cbt-waec-neco-prepup I know I’m just getting started, but the goal of my story is to inspire someone somewhere in a similar situation like me - Elvis Chidera Biography Elvis Chidera popularly known by his moniker as Elvisten10(probably because he was still playing ten ten(game) concerning his ambition.Now, 21years old grew up in portharcourt umukara and hails from Imo state.He started programming at a very young age 11 and continued alongside his school education which didn't affect him up to the stage he is presently.He now lives in dubai working with a company called[b] careem[/b] after working for several companies in different parts of the Globe including Nigeria Seun how come you didn't have an idea of this boy that you motivated back then in 2013.

I do seriously thinking it's really damn fine anyway. I do hope it's really make it work no matter what. But I am really glad for little boy and his further path on that one. How do you plan to make it working ? Let's make such ability for everyone in our community. |
