lekadornis: abi na fortran and pascal u go dey depend on in this modern era of Xbasic and others...

king_odiase: I am a computer programmer, advanced in C C++ Java Fortran JavaScript and so on. I make mobile apps for google android phone and I studied in the UK. I actually didnt do computer science but got taught programming at university because it was an essential part of being a modern scientist because most scientific simulations are carried out using a computer, so Mr SayoMarvel for you information the universities in the UK are very good in terms on computer science and it also depends on how good the university is as well. But if you wanna get to the standard of making softwares and mobile apps, you would have to learn a lot of the stuff on your own.

Personal skill development is the soul of IT in Nigeria not Computer Science of a thing. I am not againsting studying computer science, though if you are sound your will know that are not totally trash. Thank God you know this early. Please, work on yourself and get good grades as much as you can and don't have it in mind of been local champion if you really want to be the best you are seeing in urself. Best school or not, it's the same set of lecturers that teach there. I am from LAUTECH, and guys are trying here too.

Data structures lecturer doesn't know what a hash table is? lol

Your best bet then is to learn data structures online then. Grab some video lectures from one of the western universities, use that to learn.

I am in Lagos for a couple months and i’m just wondering if anyone on this thread can advise on a good centre to learn either Android / iOS development.

I’m well aware of courses on Udemy, Coursera, YouTube and a bunch of other sites but my living arrangements and access to electricity is not conducive for focused uninterrupted self study.

Go to either UNN Or private uni. Dont mind the ' abroad Uni for Cs ' gang. Computer science aint mainly programming just make out time to self study programming via youtube and combine both in Uni.
Trust me you would be ahead of the lectures and smash A's in Cs courses.
There are too much oppurtunities in Nigeria most people are just not creative and inovative.
If you have no interest in Cs even if Gates teach you 1 on 1, you wont still get it. So forget about these abroad shiit and get you admission going.
To me, the only thing in Naija that hinders top notch up-coming programmers are.
1. Laptop.
2. Constant electricity.
3. Subscription.
4. Small cash for expenses.
But some universities have constant electricity and thats to me, the only stumbling block we have.
The school courses aint no solid excuse for not being a good programmer and more espcially a good Comp. Scientist.
Who says you cant be a programmer while attending naija Univers. It all falls back to how you manage yourself and study.
The world is going digital that Flash cant keep up.
You dont need to go to London before you can get what is London.
The greatest teacher is at your fingertips, Internet is, was and will be the best source of information.
Even if you travel abroad you will be weighed down while trying to make ends meet. Switching from a janitor to afternoon lectures.
You can think abroad if you are financially buoyant else forget it.
Stay here you know food, rent, tax, insurance etc wont be a problem.
Then do your Masters abroad.
PEACE!

I want to relocate to Canada through studies and I am an HND holder in Agricultural Eng, I would like to know the process or have a guide in here as these agent fees are just too exorbitant to ignore.
