Lol. Try sit down for house two months, they learn coding. Watch how your neighbors carry your matter for head. The average Nigerian is all about getting money sharp sharp. They don't give a bleep about the long run grin

No use your own judge others. For Nigerians the learning curve is steep, so many factors can ruin you. Nepa, no money how many people fit afford laptop. Nigerians even see programmers who stay at home and freelance as lazy people or Yahoo boys lol. So my sis, if e good for you thank your God and run your thing codedly. No need to loud am
Walai you no lie at all. Some Nigerians are so daft that even among the educated ones will be looking at you as a lazy person if they always see you working on laptop. The only source they know that bring money is to go to work in the morning and come back home at 9ite.

The reason why you won't see a lot of Nigerians staying in Nigeria on social media teaching coding is because WE MUST SURVIVE FIRST.

Let me give you a theory. The main amenities you need to become a successful programmer are LAPTOP, MOBILE DATA, and ELECTRICITY.

Lets say you got money and got a good laptop, then there is epileptic power supply, you need to buy gen and fuel it everytime. Then we have the issue of Mobile data, where you have to subscribe 10k naira in a month.

if no one is sponsoring you, how do you want to cope when there is no work, because from your post, you said, you stare at the screen for 12 hrs+, i.e. You don't have any other thing you are doing, just coding.

Now lets talk abt food. You cant learn anything or do anything in hunger. You want to learn or teach coding alone, you must have started earning from coding, because when hunger catches you, ommmoooorrr, walahi, you no fit get your bearing.
These are the challenges poor programmers are facing in Nigeria except those from rich home with understanding parent. You can't be hungry and think of writing codes. What about electricity, house rent and Data? People will say they are excuses but this is the reality!
Life of a poor programmer in Nigeria!
