Why You Hardly See Nigerians Teaching About Coding On Social Media. by Devdevdev(f): 10:27am On Nov 14, 2022 |
You hardly see Nigerians teaching coding or talking about programming related stuff on on social media, especially on Youtube. This is because this is actually a legit way to be a successful person and it involves a lot of hard work, determination and consistence. Nigerians only like to propagate get rich schemes and fraudulent stuff like plagiarizing books to post on Amazon or some rubbish Ponzi scheme. The common thread that links all these is that they don't involve much work and all you have to do is just do the little, then sit and wait for money to start pouring into your account. I admit there are a tiny minority of people who make money from these, but it's usually for a short period of time until it crashes or they get banned from Amazon, or get arrested, but the majority of people don't get shit, rather they jump from one get rich scheme to the other until they realize they've wasted their time. Programming will never be saturated with competent programmers especially in this country because majority of people don't have the discipline and delligence to actually become competent programmers. For the past month I've not been on social media. I deleted my Twitter, Facebook Tiktok, Instagram and vowed to never check status on WhatsApp because that's a very huge distraction. I only use Nairaland and Reddit, particularly for programming related information. I deleted every movie from my laptop and haven't watched TV for weeks. How many people can do this? How many people can sit at a desk staring at a computer screen for 12+ hours everyday? Nigerians are very lazy and are addicted to quick gratification and this works in the favor of programmers who are serious, because it reduces the competitiveness of the job market. 271 Likes 38 Shares |

Xcelinteriors:This is how parents will be using their hands to spoil children future. You never ask the pikin weda him dey interested in coding or take time to figure out what he has interests in, he passion, but no, you just "want someone to teach your son coding" better dont force him to do what he is not intrested in or you'll regret it and he'll never forgive you..... SMH, typical Nigerian parent....All these white kids you see who are masters at programming at a young age, thier parents did not make them begin to learn it or hire someone to come and teach them, the events unfolded naturally but here in nigeria, una thiings dey always dey upsidedown... 113 Likes 15 Shares |

In terms of videos yes because it's expensive to push out video content but if you are talking about written programming content then Nigerians write a lot. I can't count how many times I have gotten stuck and I went online to read and it's an article written by a fellow Nigerian that helped me. Yours truly has even written down some programming articles. If the resources were there, I am sure making video content won't be a problem for Nigerians. 79 Likes 8 Shares |

tensazangetsu20: I don't agree. Lots of Nigerians make videos on YouTube and social media. Just type Amazon KDP or fake paypal or anything related to money. Videos choke. One Nigerian YouTuber even did a two hour video on how to plagiarize books and publish on Amazon. You will almost never see Nigerians making videos on coding. I'm not even talking about long ass 6 hour videos on "Java for beginners" Just ordinary short videos on tech stack a beginner should learn, or how to do use a technology like axios or even ordinary vscode. You will never see this kind of video from Nigerians. All you see is skits, get rich quick schemes and showoff(money for guys, body for females) The resources are there, there is just no market for it. Those articles you read aren't from social media are they? And even if so, they are particularly targeted to those already in the field as opposed to the general public. 14 Likes 4 Shares |

Devdevdev:I don't think there's anything genius about him...I think his abilities have alot to do with the fact that bro has 9 years of coding experience at fucking 19 years old !!!!!!! most senior dev in Nigeria don't have that much years of experience. people like him make me just want to be reborn so that I can start coding at a very young age.What I've noticed about these Competitive guys is that most of them started very,very early, that's why they that good. But in Nigeria here, I hear sey mama and papa gree buy computer for you at 10 or 12 years old they only think about how it's not good for the eyes and how it would make you unserious in school.

TastyFriedPussy: My bad, I shouldn't have attacked like that. But here is a book for you to read, The Calculator Program is a lot more complex than it seems, you need to handle the order ( BODMAS) and also break the expressions into Objects. Coincidentally there is a chapter in the book that discusses it. I will be honest with you, learning C++ in 2 years perfectly is The author of C++ wrote this book, look for it online. 9 Likes 3 Shares

The first two commenters are attention seekers. One is bragging about seating for 12 hours straight. Asking how many Nigerians can do it. Lubbish and bunkum. When people were seating 12 hours straight, reading code from a book and writing your own code with pencil and paper to go and type the following day and run where were they? These two Javascript Materials produced by Ewomazino Akpareva an Isoko boy with "Nigerian accent" una buy? Or you think people generate content to give away free....y'all should shut up abeg. Learn your coding jejely and stop looking for attention. E nor get wetin una dey do wey men never do before 87 Likes 14 Shares

TastyFriedPussy: After corruption and bad leadership, Nigerian parents are the next cause of Nigeria's problem today. They are all myopic, close-minded and very naive. Their thinking is stuck in the 1980s and 1990s. While I was growing up, almost every Nigerian parent wanted their kids to be either doctors or lawyers. The two most useless professions in this country. Which Nigerian parent had the foresight to see that computer science would be as usefully as it is today? Still even today, they are still blinded to this fact. Computer science was so easy to get then, yet it was frowned upon, and tagged as a course for people who weren't smart enough to get into medicine, law or engineering. But today it is the most valuable course anyone can study. I swear if I could go back in time I'll apply for computer science in Unilag just after finishing secondary school, then get a laptop and start coding from day one. 19 Likes 5 Shares |

If English wasn't part of your problem, you would have known that this question you asked suggests that only an elite few can accomplish that. So I ask you again, staring at a computer screen for 12hours is an accomplishment for you? 40 Likes 2 Shares |
