most Nigerian companies expects you to know both of them and in most cases provide solution to any computer related issue. so its best you have all the skill set whether front or backend ..

where I work, asides coding we do lots of data analysis and reports generations (using SQL).

Well, it depends on the stack you use,. I have seen a frontend developer salary of more than 400k. But the the frameworks is just too much and you you need at least 4+ years experience. So for frontend, you need HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React, Ajax, Vie and some other js framework.
But on a normal ground with all things been equal, a php, ruby or python developer Worth's more than an average frontend developer.
Why you ask? Because almost everyone can make a web design these days. Also there are some WYSIWYG that you can just drag and drop widgets to get a basic professional web design.
So the way to go is full stack if possible.
But then, it depends on the number of frameworks you are proficient in and your portfolio speaks a lot for you.
My verdict: back end developer any day anytime, java is a good one with high pay especially if you know spring boot and MVC software design architecture.
Php is also good. Python is hot! Especially using django or flask frameworks.
But the thing is to be a master in the language you are currently on. The likely hood of being hired will increase.

By the way am a junior django/python developer.

look at what someone is asking

No offence but, if you are going into programing for the money, please dont waste your time as you wont see any thing till about 2 years +

Well unless you join those people advertising website for 10k on nairaland

as for your question... learn your stack well and you will get to the top were there is no difference in the salary scale

Re: Front-End Developer Or Back-End Developer: Which Job Title Has A Higher Salary? by angelEmade: 7:15am On Nov 01, 2019
I think i depend on where you are working and what you are working on.
Meanwhile developers and bloggers and sellers should check my signature to start monetizing their projects

It's really difficult to tell, but honestly full stack would be better, cos I believe they'll pay you more if you're a back end developer that's where the business logic is.
Re: Front-End Developer Or Back-End Developer: Which Job Title Has A Higher Salary? by KevMitnick: 7:18am On Nov 01, 2019
It really doesn't matter, developers are poorly paid in this part of the world. So except you're going away from here, I think the correct answer will be just for academic purposes.
Re: Front-End Developer Or Back-End Developer: Which Job Title Has A Higher Salary? by Codedboy95(m): 7:19am On Nov 01, 2019
Backend, but what matters most is your level of experience
