Some of Nigeria's most important infrastructures were built in that time period you call stagnant.

bestpunterever:
yorubas are known for respecting elderly person, not like ibos that are known for using a bicycle kick to wake their parents.

KingOdart:
You are talking like an ignoramus

Yoruba don't have more population than the north and Education have little to do with politics in Nigeria.

This is democracy where the majority decides and the majority of the voters for any presidential election in Nigeria are in the North because of their humongous population and unfortunately that also give them the power to dominate our federal political setting.

KingOdart:
That's just assumptions from your side.

If Tinubu have any ambition to become president, pride won't take him anywhere especially acting pompous to northerners for whatever reason.

These northerners have the powers in Nigeria political landscape and Tinubu know that very well.

KingOdart:
And You are a pure Igbo, barba***c race that use kick to wake up their parents

Aminu Dantata is older than Tinubu and there is nothing wrong if Tinubu bowed to him, he is old enough to be Tinubu elder's brother.

It is because of this naive and shortsighted mentality that Igbo are where they are politically.

But even at that, it’s not a good excuse for Nigeria not to have more modern looking cities outside of some parts of Lagos and Abuja.

The truth is that a lot of Nigerians are comfortable in their underdevelopment. If you come back in another 50 years, you will be shocked that not much development has happened despite all the years that have gone by.

Well you right in that,actually a lot of Nigerians are actually comfortable in their undeveloped environment, but I think it will change,the older generation are more guilty of this

Guestlander:
Meaning they are not begging Buhari like the people who have told us a million times that they do not beg?
Sunday Igboho already said he doesn't want anyone to beg Buhari on his behalf.
Beg for what anyway, he won in court. His rights were violated. He broke no law.

But ok But what's the excuse since 2000s? Its has been 22 years and yet when you compare a lot of Nigerian cities from the 90s, not much change has occurred. I travel around sometimes because of the nature of my hustle. I know what I am saying.

horsepower102:
The reason why I struggle with your list of excuses is that If you compare the pictures of some Nigerian cities (that never experienced war) to their present day condition, you will be shocked to the bone that not much has changed.

The excuses that you are stating above don't explain this fundamental problem.

Look at Bogota in Columbia and see how it went from a decaying slum to where it is today. Columbia's economy was not doing well during that time period. Yet they were still able to transform Bogota.

horsepower102:
Lets us assume that I agree with your excuse,

Ok so what is holding them back since 2000? why are still underdeveloped.

Graphic design is also part of the tech world, except he does not understand what tech means.

That friend is sounding like you.
Meanwhile, going into tech with the aim of just cashing out is a recipe for disaster.
It is a process, one has to pick up awareness, get informed and acquire knowledge, then practical application, to applied theory and then mastery.

This timeline for this process are based on the dedication and the approach you use towards it.

Can your friends get into tech at 30?
Very likely and yes.

Would he earn big and cash out?
if he patiently pass through the process then yes!

would everyone who go to tech make money?
well not likely, they can only gain the aware to leverage on in future endeavors

is tech better than other fields?
It depends on the context but most not likely(for the next decade) though the potentials are huge.

akus6060:
Why most of us like using words like " a friend of mine is asking for help/ direction" when in the right sense we are the ones asking for direction ? Op graphic design is also part of tech ecosystem and if your friend is good in it , he can make money from it . No time is too late to learn programming if that is what he desires , proficiency is the key thing .
