Crude as the method is, people are trying to survive. If you go round Nigeria looking for a Saint before you can help, I bet you, you won't find a single one. So just do what you must and let their conscientious judge them. That way, you would've taught them a lesson they won't quickly forget. None of us is truly righteous.

Let me break down something

If u employ

If u employ 500 people which job description as gutter cleaners and pay them 75k monthly

It would cost the state 450 million yearly...

If u charge each house in the cities 3000 per month and u have say 300,000 houses

It would give you 10.8 billion

You can employ 5000 people to sweep the states, costing u 4.5 billion yearly

U have 3 billion u can build plastic recycling factory that convert waste plastic to plastic dustbins

Use 2 billion for trucks

U have used a simple problem to create 5500 sustainable jobs

Your cities would be cleaners

By the second year u can start using the 5 billion profit to plant trees and gardens

This is what governance is all about

Hmmm

So i am known as what some people would say a jack of all trades in tech, but i have no tech certification.

I am that guy that when something is wrong on you pc or phone, you reach out to and i tell you how to solve it (most times leaving you wondering -"why didn't i think of that"

From a very young age, i have always wanted to get into tech, but new had the opportunity or time to learn.

Fast forward to December 2022, and i finally taken the decision that i would learnt something in tech this year no matter what.

So i got started in Dev ops.

Well what a journey i undertook.

I started my training with a school called My Landmark Tech.

From the onset, let just say i chewed more than i bargained for, but being a Nigerian meant, they is no way my money is going to waste at all.
So i kept at.

From learning about linux for the first time and for some reason hating it initially then loving it gradually. Before being hit with Bash shell scripting. "Omo i hear am for this one". but after a while i started writing some basic scripts and was like "na me be this".

While i was basking in my shine, the come nack me with the not so wonderful world of Git, i was initally sceptical as it was another thing way i no sabi, But God de, as i gradually began to find out that that the internet is your friend and stack overflow was there to help (sometimes).

I did the whole Git hustle for a bit, then they announced during the class, that they were heavy on java and to prepare for Maven.
At this point i was asking myself, what is the essense of all this so far, but one mind said carry on.

So for us to get into Maven, they first had to to teach us about aws and how to setup an ec2 instance and how to login or ssh into your instance. They also had to teach us about security groups and creating your pem keys.

Then they taught us how to setup maven on an ec2 instance, it was then i began to understand why i needed to learn linux and bash shell scripting.

And then things began to pickup big time, from Maven, we hit sonarqube, from sonarqube we hit nexus, from nexus we hit jenkins.
With jenkins we ran throught connecting all the previous things.

Bash scripting to git, to jenkins, jenkins running ci/cd through maven, sonarqube and nexus. (ensuring all this worked during a pipeline build was hell- a lot of late nights and free time in the office, a lot of aws ec2 instances and a lot of burnt aws accounts as ran down free tier after free tier). It took me three weeks to understand the pom.xml setup for maven and another 1month to get my ci/cd pipeline to work.

When i finally got things to work, and was celebrating my success. I was hit with terraform and docker.

It took me another month to learn terraform, and another two months to get from docker to docker file to docker compose and docker swarm.

I still have Kubernetes, Ansible, Grafana, Helm and Promethus to learn, chai.

Then i still have to learn on my own, other different Devops related softwares, platforms, cloud platforms etc. (Chai X2), all of it required before i can even begin to compete with other advance or intermediate devop engineers out these.

Am i enjoying this

Truly

Yes

I have learnt a lot i didn't know about before, i have even picked up on python and kotlin on the side, and i am enjoying each challenge all of this brings. The fun of sending time to solve a problem, hitting a brick wall and going back to the drawing board and coming back strong.

It hasn't been easy though, as my classes are between 1am and 4am twice a week and on Saturdays and to revise from each lesson i usually spend 5-6 hours.

But, i love every minute of it.

So to anyone looking to get into Devops, know it is not a rush job, take your time to learn and understand what you are doing.

Also i am open to help with pointers and directions to anyone who needs it.

I will update from time to time once i am done with my training.

Chai X 4

I just began the class, on Udemy. Can I reach you for assistance from time to time?

why should only you have four drivers
where is it done anywhere in the world that only you will have 4 drivers if you are not wicked..
how many people have domestic staff in advanced countries with working laws?? most people manage their own chores or struggle to pay their one domestic staff because they must pay him minimum wage...
How many nigerians that have domestice staff in nigeria relocated and still employ the service of domestic staff in usa, uk or canada...we exploit people here and still be chesting it..... if you cant pay your domestic staff minum wage, do it yourself...create only mess you can manage yourself

Yampotatocarrot:


He is correct, it's actually #1600 from Lagos to Benin Republic.

#1000 from Iyana-iba to Badagry, then #300 from Badagry to Send. When you get to Seme, don't take bike, just start walking forward, they'll stop you at the gate and ask for your passport, drop #200 and continue walking, when you get to the place for yellow card, drop #100, then when you meet the Benin officials, drop #200, then you walk away.... Budget this same amount when returning back to Nigeria

Don't act naive and ensure you already changed the money, cos if you give them #500 or #1000, them no go give you change

But if you need to stamp your passport, maybe for official purpose, it's just #1000 at the Nigerian side and #1000 at the Benin side, plus #100/#200 for yellow card

Try to get your nosemask, else it's another #200 at both entrance and exit

Congratulations to all (even if you don't get the APL). BārakaLlahu feekum(May God bless it).
Its indeed painful but know surely Almighty God has better place for you. To those that got the APL, one of the ways to show gratitude to God is to recommend people that didn't get APL to your former work place.

ALAGOGO007:
For many years now, Nigeria has been facing an extreme electricity shortage. This deficiency is multi-faceted, with causes that are financial, structural, and sociopolitical, none of which are mutually exclusive. Nigeria’s power sector has high energy losses from generation to billing, a low collection rate and low access to electricity by the population. There is insufficient cash generation because of these inefficiencies and the power sector is consequently reliant on fuel subsidies and funding of capital projects by the government.

At present only 10 % of rural households and 40% of the country’s total population have access to electricity. Power supply difficulties cripple the agricultural, industrial and mining sectors and impede the Nigeria's ongoing economic development. The energy supply crisis is complex, stems from a variety of issues and has been ongoing for decades.

As of December 2013, the total installed or nameplate capacity (maximum capacity) of the power plants was 6,953 MW. Available capacity was 4,598 MW. Actual average generation was 3,800 MW. As of December 2014, the total installed capacity of the power plants was 7,445 MW.

The minister for power Babatunde Fashola said that 90 million Nigerians lack electricity supply. This is an indictment of the government and a clarion call on that same government as well as other stakeholders to do something urgently about the wobbling electricity supply situation in the country. Every year, the Nigerian government invest huge amout of money in the power sector with no positive impact, something seems not right!

The big question is, are we going to witness a stable power supply in our lifetime , will it ever happen?

Okay...

We either thank you tomorrow or rain curses on you .

It’s better you say the truth now..

My two cents...

Look over my Shoulder. It's a case interview tutorial material for management consulting firms done by Victor Cheng, the very popular former management consultant at Mckinsey (the top management consulting firm in the world) and case inteview tutor. But it's really expensive (100k in naira) and i found out it was critical to me getting the Mckinsey job in Mck Nigeria as a business analyst. My time at Mck also made me know how valuable the material is due to several case studies i was exposed to and how many applicants to Mck don't prepare well. So in summary LOMS includes both candidate-led case style dialogues and interviewer-led/command and control formats and it's very beneficial for all levels including associate level above which allows only applicants with MBAs
