Sorry about that My mum called. Was talking to mama for a while there. Yeah I know London is a wasteland Alright not quite but its a hard knock life in many parts of London. I myself have been privileged to live in places like Brixton, Stratford, Canning town etc. I say privileged because I believe its an experience everyone should have. To be in a developed country and yet to see the struggles of people in a so called developed country. it will expand your mind. like not all that glitters is gold

ibkayee:

Haha some people aren't homebodies by choice

Yeah I am

wow thats amazing. more grease to your elbows. I am thinking about learning Python so i can build applications for myself. We shall see if i follow through

ibkayee:

Ooh nice, do you have any prior experience with programming languages?

I heard so too

i tried oracle database with plsql AND C plus plus but couldnt quite cut it. i believe it takes a special mind to be able to write programs, however python seems easy. i am a science and medicine guy. i am not that great with programming

ibkayee:

What's blighty?

I am actually surprised you have never heard of the word "Blighty" or the phrase "Good Ol' Blighty:

I used to think like that, there are definitely people out there that may not grasp it no matter how hard they try, but for the most part, I don't think one needs to be any type of genius to do it, just have decent problem-solving abilities, A LOT of patience and A LOT of practice. Some will find it easier than others of course

Python is perceived as one of the easier ones because of its simpler syntax I believe

Yeah you are right. its really not that hard if you approach it from a get rich or die trying mentality because these skills do pay well. its just that i come from a family of medical experts so i just could never get myself to fully commit to the programming courses when i took them because deep down i kinda knew i shouldnt be in the class. but like you said python is mad easy so i want to learn it on my own for my own use. a guy on youtube did a 6 hour course on it and after you finish watching you will have learnt the whole thing from A to Z. then another inspiration is this nigerian girl in new york who uses it to write programs that chooses the dress she wears every morning. i thought that was brilliant

I completely understand

I don't know if I'm actually passionate about it or if the motivation is from trying to get more and more money

That's super cool

ibkayee:

of course you and I know its the money . Its the motivation for most. coupled with the fact that you can work remotely from any country and be a digital nomad. and you get to see all the great things you programmed come to life and be functioning. its great. the whole idea of it is great but i am sure coding day in and day out everyday of the year will be mundane and mind numbingly boring and just tedious. but the whole idea of it is great not just the sitting down and doing it lol if that makes sense

Haha you summed it up for me tbh

ibkayee:

Never heard of it o lool

I know you are a bit posh but yh still surprised. As an ardent follower of British Comedy, I am certain you would have heard of it a number of times. It comes up quite frequently on other TV Programmes too.

ibkayee:

Haha you summed it up for me tbh

Nah I'm not even that 'posh' lol don't even let the accent fool you lol. Never heard it, and I'm a fan of shows like Only Fools and Horses lol

Now that I think of it though, I don't really watch that much TV in the first place, let alone British TV

lekki1444:

Yeah, all my immediate family are in the UK

Only some cousins, aunts, uncles etc are in Naija

ibkayee:

lekki1444:
it does.

IBK was raised in one of the richest London boroughs. She does not relate with we Commoners.

lekki1444:

yeah i hear ya but you know to be in a developed country and have all your family around you is priceless. thats what kills most nigerians in the UK is the boredom of not having family around. and i am sure your mummy goes to peckham market to buy panla and pomo and cooks it for you lmaoooo. are you yoruba or igbo ?

Not even just the accent though. Apart from my much deeper voice, Yours is not that different from mine(when I'm not speaking to close friends that is). Del boy and Rodney looool.

I really love British Tv most especially sitcoms. My humour is unapologetically British and I'm proud of it too. BBC's My Family was a favourite of mine for years and so was Gavin and Stacey.

ibkayee:

haha yes oooo you must source out that african food ooo. you no get choice lol . do you find married life stressful in england ? do you have children or planning on having ?

Lol yeah I can imagine, my accent is just Standard British, with a Naija twang

One of my favourite shows in the entire world is the Peep Show, British humour is unrivaled

You sound proper Geordie. I'm guessing you schooled in the Tyneside/Gateshead region.
