Yes it's worth it. You will learn data structures and systems design. If you are going in I will advise you to make leetcode your friend from day one. With even a pass degree, so long as you can solve at least half of the questions on leetcode. A multi million naira a month job is waiting for you on graduation.

Are u saying that all the nigerian computer science graduates who solved at least half of the questions on leetcode now have multi million naira a month jobs?

99.9 percent have never heard of leetcode the remaining half of the 0.1 percent that have heard cant even solve the easy questions there. Leetcode is fucking hard. The earlier the better.

jesmond3945:
this your post is too pessimistic. Probably you have not had success landing jobs when you started.

Does his pessimism negate anything he said?

, I remember when i did some courses In a Nigerian University XX with a computer science department, they were so scared we might spoil the computer, even when we were typing, we were also scared lol.

And we used mostly Fortran, anyway it was a basic intro, into algorithms and their flow chart, and procedural programming.

Although the environment was so rushed and fearful, i developed interest, one does not really gain anything in such a tense atmosphere, online tutorials, having my personal computer, and the ease of access coupled with self Study definitely made me a professional.

There are so many online resources, free and paid, i recommend one should be very observational, and bookmark the resources online.

There are bootcamps, even schools, and places, where one can gain experience, i consider Nigerian universities as sad places and trash.

Yes, they do. there are less than 1000 active leetcode users from Nigeria. The few who put in the time are working at FAANG or very high-paying Nigerian firms. Competitive programming is non existent in Nigeria and is the barrier to the very high paying jobs.

If it is computer science, simply go to Udemy

Yes
It's 100% worth it

In all your doing get the Degree, Nigeria Certificate is Recognized too..

See I have the Skills, couple with years of experience, I was selected for an opportunity outside the country, because ofy skills and experience, I couldn't travel out due to lack of Degree Certificates..

Please get the Degree first and gain experience..

It’s better to study computer science online than in a public university. You can take my word to the bank

Tobedated:
i'm planning on studying computer science in unilorin but it seems the public consensus is that computer science taught in nigeria university is outdated so is it worth the money and time to still study it.
I love computer science but i'm mainly doing it for the money and i'm currently learning python so is it worth going to study it in the university to get the certificate or being self-taught is better

Yo bro I beg you in d name of God change d institution first don't go to unilorin for anything it's a waste of time you can choose any other public university but not unilorin, unilorin is just better by stress...
I would advice you to go to school where only computer is being taught it would save u some stress and unnecessary work/courses..unilorin will only choke u with theories and less practical... Peace

How did u arrive at your 99.9% and 0.1%?

Are you the one that gave them the jobs? How do u no that there are less than 1000leetcodr users in Nigeria? Which high paying Nigerian firms are you referring to? What is FAANG?

You can verify it yourself. Check the number of leetcode users online from Nigeria then multiply that number by the number of undergraduates at level 100 to 400 across all Nigerian universities that offer computer science. It's simple stat that can give you a basic overview.

I have looked at leetcode, many people know about it.

What exactly do you mean by "outdated".

What about University of the people, its an online American university and its says its tuition free.

It has computer science, if you are at home still struggling to gain admission, you can just apply and start there, if Nigerian University are not ready to accept you or proving too good. LOL

Also Saylor academy has free e-material, then i think it has test online that assesses your knowledge and then you can be like a graduate who has being taught the necessary curriculum as a self taught or online student.

Most of the students graduated from this course are using their knowledge to bombing on social media now.

Waste of time ... You really don't need a cert in the IT world

This is a contradiction

Your view and your perspective

Aha

lol yeah employers mostly look at your problem solving skills ... And funny enough you can learn all this by yourself , that can't be said about other courses tho

Uncharted56:

I am currently developing an app for the same school and engineering faculty for that matter. This job is money in the bank because of the calculations and features i am adding so far and I am just getting started with the app, now who is the mofo...

Your UI is not appealing at all regardless of it's functionality. Please work on that. Cheers!

One thing I shall know is that to get a job in a standard it firm in Nigeria you must have your cert unless you connection strong wella.

By Nigerian standards, anything you learn in school is already outdated by the time you graduate.

You have to learn specific tech courses depending on the branch of IT you choose to go, be very good at it.

You can easily stand on your own or land a good job.

Go on with the plan and subscribe to my YouTube channel because I do tutorials on PC and smartphone technology, Check My Updated Signature to see everything and my YouTube channel address

yeah i am familiar with this experiences, because i tried applying for tech Jobs too.

They usually assess the problem solving skills, or general concepts.

Fact of the matter is, ever since the internet, universities dont matter anymore.
Choosing something you enjoy is easier to make a success of.

No it's not!!!!
