I was told not to build privately, but to build publicly as a self-taught developer.

I've gotten pretty good with HTML and CSS; now I've dived into the world of JavaScript, which isn't easy at all . I thought I should start writing about my journey for others to learn from and be encouraged. But if I give up along the line, please continue on your own .


I'll quickly share how I used my phone to start coding, then got a laptop, and my self-taught process of learning HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, writing each code. Apparently, we'll be learning together. I'll come back frequently to update.


Considering Nigeria's current situation and being from an average background trying to break the shackles of poverty, having at least two or more sources of income is unfortunate but necessary.


I learned about software development from a friend, which sparked my interest. I browsed more and got hooked. Unfortunately, I didn't have a laptop initially, so I used my phone. My friend recommended SoloLearn. Learning was fun; seeing my code come to life was fascinating, like "let there be light, and there was light ."


During my NYSC period, I saved up and got the laptop I'm using now. I didn't just wake up to this. Life sometimes rewrites our stories. I could have chosen fashion design or keep practicing as a lawyer, but I also find peace and comfort in becoming a full-stack developer, even without a computer science degree.


In essence, find your path; ensure it aligns with your goals and you find peace doing it. If becoming a full-stack developer is what you want, come back here, and let's learn together. I'll try my best to keep us motivated, hopefully we find what we're looking for.

You're always sounding like a classless man, with no proper upbringing from your parents.

The only instance men will not call you a gold-digger/selling your body, is when his house is like this and you still date him

I really want to know if I'm the only one who feels this way, and I sincerely need advice on how to stop or go about the way I feel.

I feel like I can be anything, I can do everything. For instance, I want to pursue different career paths such as being a movie director, animator, diving into cyber security, or even becoming a medical doctor, despite currently being a lawyer. I also aspire to become an entrepreneur and own a fashion brand. I'm overwhelmed by all these thoughts in my head, but the only hindrance I face is not having enough money to pursue some of my goals.

I'm tired. How do I let go of all these thoughts? How can I change myself, because I know for a fact I can't pursue everything I mentioned? How can I give myself peace of mind?

To be honest even outside the country the hustle continues but the difference is you see the results of your hardwork. You can plan stuff, work towards them and actually see the results manifesting but it's a whole different scenario in Nigeria. People who are still getting married and giving birth to Nigerian born children are some of the bravest human beings on earth.

Exactly.


My prayer points keep changing every day with how dire the situation is getting in Nigeria. I pray for something today, but when I check the news or go outside, I find myself having to change my prayer points again, if you know what I mean. It's becoming exhausting in this country.

Even for the basic things I need in this country, I find myself having to "work too hard" for them

Imagine me praying for common NEPA to bring electricity to keep my business moving.

Words can't express how I weep for this country; my future lies in the hands of this nation.

As a young lady striving for success, it seems to be getting harder each day. Things are becoming more expensive, with an increase in the dollar exchange rate.

Life now is about surviving, not living.

My aunty told me something, don't tell people your source of happiness, same way you shouldn't tell people where you eat from most times.

If they don't use words to spoil your business, they will use there minds.

Just pray, there is nothing God can't do.

When will our corrupt politicians resign too

I will protect my territory. I love how the husband told his wife. If is some men now

Yes, very different

The truth is that that marriage or union every Tom, Dick and Harry is making noise about fit no even last. Before u think I'm pessimistic just know that Moses Bliss is from my state so I can't wish my brother evil. I've always been a church boy from my childhood and I play more than 2 musical instruments so u should know what that means. 95% of our gospel artists are not really born again. They're just using gospel music as a smokescreen to sleep with all the church girls they come in contact with. I know them and I play for some of them in church. Church pple are the worst fornicators and adulterers in every society. Marriage is more than what we all see in social media, that's why no matter how beautiful a girl is and vice versa, no matter how spiritual a person is, it takes the grace of God, patience, understanding and tolerance to stay with him or her without having the urge to seek for divorce.

You said it all. Christian brothers especially the ones in choir, I can never rate them.

You and the girl are both confuse. It is well with your souls.

The one that is genuinely good to him and can be his safe space, is the one that will have his heart.

Call it a primordial fear, but men generally operate from the foundation that women can not handle male vulnerabilities (or insecurities). Most men will rather suck it up than open their deepest fears to women.

Any woman that can make him feel free, where he can just be without a mask, is the one that has his heart.

I once had this guy, he shows me his bad side like smoking but never to his soon to be wife, am I special to him?

TMHL:


Most ladies don't know what exactly they are doing as online "feminists", cos they only followed internet noise and thought to choose a side in a perceived gender war. They just wait for the cult leaders to give them direction on whatever issue and jump on that bandwagon.


The real feminists are those who empower women one way or the other without necessarily pitching them against men. This woman is one and we have others like Folorunso Alakija and women focused support initiatives in Nigeria.

These are mere assumptions

GreatAchiever1:


That is the point, why can't you wake up early to cook for you husband you should be submissive to? The husband that wakes up early to go to work, does he tell you he loves it, but he has to do it for the love he has for his home. The Proverb 31 that some women love to claim even have it there in verse 15
She rises also while it is still night
And gives food to her household
And portions to her maidens.
— Proverbs 31:15.
But how many women can do it in this present age, if this woman is a means for women to open their eyes and repent, I'm so loving it.

Yes that is the point, Mr Great Achiever. This can only apply if your wife is a sit at home lady. You can't tell a working class woman to wake up at that time to do such unless, she is cooking for herself too. If my husband doesn't expect me to share bills with him at home, I will gladly do it.

Your generation wants us to split bills like a man.

In essence allow us to be feminine take care of the house, while you go out as the head of the house to look for money.

GreatAchiever1:


It is men that don't know what they want that end up with baddies. Some Players know what they want, but frolick with the baddies and in the end get what they want.

Exactly

TMHL:


You really overrate the relevance of bitter "feminists".

By the way, she is more "feminist" than the pretending ones all over Twitter.

She teaches positivity, the ones who think themselves the real feminists are only about negativity, who tag women with successful love lives as "pick me".

You think most of these women became feminist overnight? Do you know what they have gone through to make a decision never to rely on men but rather be sufficient and independent for themselves?

Point of correction that lady isn't a Feminist, she is a traditional woman protecting her home.

I did not see any bitter comment on Twitter aside from the fact, most woman can't wake up at that time to cook. It all depends if you love someone.

TMHL:


There's that. Though not necessarily to punish/pepper the bitter "feminists", but many men see it as a wakeup call that a good wife is a rare gift these days.

Die this talk please. Is your mother not a good wife to your father? There are good women but you men want baddies. Once you have money, that is when you remember you have "spec".

This lady is in between an on-going war on Twitter, patriarchy and feminist society. Patriarchy proving what doesn't need to be proven because of their ego. At the end of the day, the lady won.

I don't care in an ongoing War, God confuse both sides to bless me abundantly. May Tinubu regime favor me, Lord.

Elemosho478:


You are like every typical girls, attracted to guys that look like bad boys.

I'm not at all. I was taught by life experience never judge a book by its cover.

I fear calm guys more than anything in life especially the ones looking like pastors better you know a yahoo boy through the way he dresses than someone looking like pastors, they're always sex starve.

Don't quote

Is not about helping a woman, you men still want something more under her legs. You always feel entitled to her body, marriage, even her time, is only few good men that don't ask anything in return.

As a lady I always go back to appreciate, is not even a gender thing. But anytime I go back to appreciate is when can we see
