The bold is not enough!

You may be right though since the OP did not tell us his goals after all
majority of programmers don't really understand the craft.
True. You've said it all, they need to understand the craft.

Because of the tech craze. Typical Nigerian way of milking anything that people are showing interest in. And they have nothing special to offer for the millions because they still use sites like udemy and YouTube to source for their materials.
Ehn, go and do the Udemmy course na.
And forget about the NIgerian computer school.

You don't have to pay anyone to learn coding. Freecoursesite.com is a website you can download programming tutorials for free and that's what i am using presently. Also, tutorials from You tube will be of help. All you need is dedication and consistency. Pick a niche and run with it.
Android development, front-end dev, Back-end dev, IOS dev, Full-stack dev, Flutter Dev etcetera. Pick one, get the tutorials and work hard to master it. Also, altschoolafrica.com has a solid package and i will implore you to check them out.
Please Which is more profitable and in demand: UX/UI or Android development? if none, suggest best IT skill to learn in 2022.

Good afternoon all.

It is not easy to set up a tech company especially in Lagos, hence the price.

Well it also depends on what you are looking at getting from the program.

For now I think it's NIIT and Aptech that will bill you over 1m for their Software engineering path.

Well if you are interested to join my software engineering mentorship program which is a group learning, kindly send a mail to the email below

Sorry for posting this here..but I really need answers because I don't understand what is going on here.. So I decided I wanted to learn computer programming so I started searching for where I could acquire the skill. I can across these guys yesterday but I would not mention their names here.. I asked how much it would cost to study software engineering because its a six months course..could you believe how much these guys mentioned for me? 850k...yes that right #850,000 and that's not all it still goes as far as 1.7million naira..

Please If i may ask, computer gurus in the house.. Is there any way this prices are justifiable? Because I don't get..

What do you think will happen if nobody enrolls in their program?

All of them are profitable.

You only need to master anyone you pick and the money will follow you.

How did you do it bro? I am currently learning cloud computing (AWS). Apparently, I need intermediate level knowledge on HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

If you can comfortably afford the cost and they can turn you to a pro within that period, then I will advice you to go for it because you will get mentorship which will make your learning faster and easier
Well said. Nothing beats solid mentorship - makes the whole journey mistake-free.

Lol..... I hire at least 20 - 30 candidates every month. I can share my LinkedIn and ATS with you to see my job posting and hiring.

Those people you mentioned are based in Nigeria, Iam saying, nobody wants to hire a U.S based programmer without a B.sc. By the way, the millions you think they are earning is peanuts to those I hire with Masters degree. Take my word for it.

I am not here to argue, I am stating facts. I belong to several U.S based recruiters groups and forums, nobody is looking for a Developer without a degree in the U.S.

Go and kook at any U.S job post online. 93% requires a Bachelors degree except handymans job.

I keep laughing when people say the word is changing and degree's are no longer needed. I can bet on it, 95% of Indian developers in the U.S have at least a Bachelors degree, and a large percent have a masters degree. That is why they have an edge over other nationals. They are gurus but still acquiring more knowledge. Sit there and think degrees are outdated when millions around the globe are pursuing degrees daily.

I am presently hiring for Executive Assistant to a CEO, U.S based candidates, and we need someone with a Bachelors degree. I will not submit a candidate without a Bachelors degree, and I can tell you, no recruiter will do that either. Once a client sends you a candidate requirement, you have to stick to it......... Degrees are highly rated anywhere.
Degrees are good but they are NOT REQUIRED to land a good developer job. There is still room for those without degrees. And even without degrees learning is constant in this field. Talking about earning peanut everyone has to start from somewhere. It might be be peanut abroad but it is a good pay based on Nigerian standards. People can start without without degrees and get one later on to increase their options

Look at what you actually achieved during this short period through YouTube self learning, I don’t think you can gain much in a school setting for that short period.

One can learn through YouTube/online then register for board exam

You are missing my point, did you not read where I wrote that people can start with YouTube, but should ensure tbey get certifications along the way

What I am saying is, to increase your chances and earnings get the necessary certifications and degree.


If I have three good candidates in front of me, and after interview they all scored 92%

Candidate A: 4 years experience, good character, knows the job, has a masters degree.

Candidate B: 4 years experience, good character, knows the job, has a bachelors degree.

Candidate C: 4 years experience, good character, knows the job, no degree.

All things being equal. Who do you think I will hire?? Candidate A of cause. Even if I am going to hire candidate C, I am going to pay way lower. By the way, if a client requires someone with a degree, certainly, I am not going to consider candidate C. That is the point I am making.

Self Tutor, Mentor and Motivation was the best gift I gave myself and so so proud and glad of it with the fact that I NEVER GAVE UP..
Endless subscription, mid-night coding, studying, researching, practicing and all that stuff that goes along with being your self tutorgrin

Baba, enter Udemy, youtube, stack overflow, google, any and every resources you can get your hands on and START FROM THE BASICS..

I.T schools are very very costly, super costly and funny enough, you will still end up doing all the learning, practicing and research yourself.

If they are going to employ you or help you in marketing your skills, then its manageable.

Self tutor, mentor and motivation. Ok
