Someone like you can never run a successful business or anything else.


As if you're a perfect being or void of crime


Many Yahoo boys today are young boy's usually carried away by social pressure and things they see


If someone is able to guide them and help them nurture their skills to good use then the country will be a better place.


It will be far better than allowing them to scam all their lives


Yes! Some people can scam without getting caught their entire lives... Karma sometimes is bullshit... u can see that from your leaders who have been scamming u their whole tenure.



This thing they're doing even if it won't make some who enroll change their ways... they're sure going to save some people and help them change and that's what matters


If out of 100 , 30 change


Then your old grandma at home has 30 less Yahoo boys to worry about calling her and tricking her into sending her bank private details

Bros it's a wrong move, there are also young struggling boys in tech, and despite the social pressure they face, they chose not to venture into fraud, these are the ones that needs empowerment, not stupid folks that got into crime cos of greed.
They ventured into fraud at will, so why do they have to need someone else guidance to quit? they got into fraud through peer pressure, or social pressure, but they can't get into tech through that same peer/social pressure?

The only people who regretted following their passion are the ones who got enticed and derailed by material things or wealth..
Following your passion doesn't necessarily means you will succeed in what you do, but you will be okay if you don't, as far as it keeps making you happy.
But present day nigeria economy can never make you follow your passion, cos you can't be happy while being poor.

No thanks to the hype on Messi/Ronaldo supremacy feud.

You call that hype?? It's a different thing to be talented and good, it's another thing to be consistent in showing it something lacking in modern players now , that was what both cr7 and messi gave football fans.

Football is messed up. Only goal scorers get the spotlight. KDB should win everything in Man City, he is the power house

kdb is good, no doubt, but he has been battling with fitness issues, so his input in terms of goals and assist has reduced..talking about city's power house then it is rodri not kdb, and 50goals a season isn't a small feat, so the award is well deserved.

FreeStuffsNG:
Don't get me wrong. I am not saying that working in a private school is bad. What I am saying is that as a young person, don't stay too long on the job. Lest you waste your life.

Wrong advice.

If it's good, stay long enough until you master it and can be an expert. Besides, long is ambiguous so I will suggest you stay long enough till you become an expert at it just like every job or professional.

Jumping around from one place or professional to another is not a sign that you are really good, it's a sign that you're not stable in your focus and can be easily taken away. No employer like those kind of prospective employee.

It takes time to build anything formidable in life and that includes career.

There's a lot you learn when you devote time and self discipline to become an expert in what you do. If you don't stay long there's no way you can attain minimum of 10,000 hours to become an expert.

What are you saying?? we are talking about huge workload while being paid peanuts. and what highest level can you get in life being an expert teacher??

Khafsun:
Is. That so


You're the one who is unprofessional not the candidates. Once you give a call, you immediately introduce yourself and why you're calling before they utter a word. "Good morning. My name is Femi. I'm calling regarding an application you made to...... for the position of..... Is this....?"

Not "Hello, how are you?" it's within their right to be cautious to someone whom they can't ascertain is on the line. You could be a scammer trying to steal some of their details. In fact, in this day an age, with AI, some scammers require just a sample of your voice and they will be able to authorise and meander through major security checks. So because of your unprofessional ways and 80k job. They should always lose guard.

The point about them not remembering they applied to your work means you're not aware of the realities of hiring. So you expect them to make only one application once per month for a company that might not even acknowledge your application or make them in hundreds per day. It's clear you don't know it's both a game of numbers for the recruiter and the applicant.

In a normal professional setting, you're meant to email these candidates, informing them of suitable dates or time for a phone call. Not just call whenever and be say they didn't pick up.

It's clear that because you were retained after NYSC, you have no idea how recruiting and job applications work. Arrogance and ignorance.

You have a really good point but you sounding like you are one of the candidates

shortgun:
You called 590 people who applied for the job in your organisation on phone one after the other to find out all these?

You must be a superhuman or you are telling us a super story

Go back and read well, more than half of the candidates got screened out because of bad resume, so he probably contacted the ones who met the criteria.

eepeepook:
Na education fail people for this forum? I really want to know.

Unlike him, I claim my new age on the first day of the new year. I don’t see the point waiting till my birth month.

Let me quote the topic for reference.

lol..so if you are 25yrs at Dec 31st, you will be 26yrs by jan1?

Your new age should be 365days after your current birthday, that's why it's celebrated once a year.
@op, don't reject yourself even before you are rejected, you wouldn't know the answer to your question until you apply.

Looking at chelsea's bench, I wonder where all the players they bought are?

dem gho win this one now,con begin dey shout "we are back "

Naanlong01:
God bless everyone here. My question may be funny. Please can phone be used to acquire any of these skills mentioned by DataAlchemist? I am a total novice about all of these but am enthusiastic about it. Infact am considering buying a laptop and if you would advice, what specifications should I be looking for, like ram, hdd etc. But can phone be used to do anything for now?
Thank you.

No, you can't do anything with phone.

For your mind now, you be alpha male ? or wetin una dey call am? you going as far as proving you have money in your account shows you are far from being an alpha male or whatever.
In the alpha male mindset, a simple "no" preserves respect by limiting dialogue.

zionema:
ok thank you. I more thing, I was thinking that the Google analytics course covered ms-sql how true is it?

no, it doesn't just big query

zionema:
please emphasize on the big query stuff what is it about

big query is a cloud based data base management tool from google. It performs same function as other db tools like mysql and postgresql, but unlike others it's not completely free(but good for training) and it's web based(no desktop version)

Skyview01:
[b]Na true story i swear. I worked there for six years and left in 2012. [/b]The only thing i changed was the name of my friend and company's. It sounds like a wierd story right?
Lots of things happened in my life that were totally wierd if i start narating!

you worked for your initial company for 4years meaning you accepted the oil and gas company at 2009, so how come you worked for the oil and gas company for 6years and still left at 2012? Boss dey lie small small na.

I hope united won't be the first big team to lose this season

alleazardous:
you are having imposter syndrome. Share your portfolio on twitter and LinkedIn let people access it for you and start applying for jobs, you might have what they are looking for.

. Ohh!! thanks, will do just that.

alleazardous:
The Google course is better though a bit longer, Are you working already?

Yeah, a bit longer, so much of unnecessary talks,lol...
I'm I working? yes, working but not data analytics related yet, not confident in my portfolio enough to start applying for remote works.

Kcxee:
Good morning,

Thank God I found this thread, I decided to learn a soft skill of recent and data analysis has been my desire from way back

I need advice on where and how to start.


I will appreciate all recommendations and advices I can get.

Thank you 🙏

Where to start? Coursera, udemy and youtube (your cheapest option). There are more, but these are the three popular ones.

How to start? start with excel, don't just learn the basics, because there is excel and there is data analysis with excel, (mike girvin : excel is fun on youtube is okay), then go ahead and learn SQL ( udemy courses can come to rescue here, there are also youtube videos for this), move on to a visualization tool of your choice, before capping it with a programming language (R/python).

raindrop99:
Ok, thanks..There are 2 data analytics course in Coursera which is google data analytics and IBM data analytics, which one is better for learning??

can't really say which is better, because, I didn't take both, but you can just go through their reviews and choose which one you think is better for you.
But I think while google focused more on googlesheet, big query and R..ibm focused on Excel, mysql(not sure) and Python

Vinnie2000:
Lolsss. 😄😄

But Sometimes, ABILITY is not by BIG NAME o!

he is right to some points, not only in nigeria, but everywhere, when you have candidates of equal abilities, things like this might be the deciding factor.
It's only wrong if considering big name comes first before ability.

raindrop99:
Thank u bro, I appreciate ur response...I wanted to download data analytics course on Coursera but couldn't find where to apply for financial aid..

just scroll down a lil, you will see financial aid available, then click on it

evuna:
Good morning. Please I am an accountant and want to learn data analysis with Excel. I don't want to go beyond that. Which resources can I use, be it paid or free on YouTube. Thanks so much.

Youtube is your best bet!, Lots of excel videos on youtube, try mike girvin (excel is fun)..and you can also try and learn quickbooks too, an accounting software.

raindrop99:
Just came across this thread.. I want to start my data analytics journey guys.
I have basic knowledge on excel and zero knowledge on programing.

I have downloaded some data analytics videos on YouTube but don't understand anything they are talking about there.

Can someone pls break the learning process down for me so it won't choke..Like what and what should I learn first before proceeding to others.

Start with excel, for data analytics you need more than the basic knowledge you have, you can clean data with excel, perform regression with small datasets with excel, vlookup and pivot table... I recommend mike girvin (excel is fun) on youtube for this..
Then you move on to SQL, and tableau

Full time draw

lilvicky68:
Power Pivot for data modeling, Power Query, Power BI very important tools to use. Power BI and Looker studio seems more easier to use than Tableau.

haven't checked them out tho, more comfortable using R ggplot for my viz, but when it comes to dashboard tableau is my go to tool

lilvicky68:
Once you enter the course you will see it, just scrow down a little.. but what I noticed is that after getting the financial aid for the course you will still need to pay to summit assignment and also get the certificate.

No, you probably audited the course, if you audit the course(enrolling) before getting the financial aid approved, then You will have to pay for the certificate, or to submit assignment.

That's why I laugh when people blame the lack of employment in nigeria on the presidency, irrespective of the number of jobs being created by the fg, there will still be cries of unemployment because of individual's greed,
The only fault of the government is inadequate monitoring and overlooking these criminal acts..there are many federal government jobs out there enough for skilled unemployed graduates and even non-graduates, but these positions are given to people who knows someone.. funnily enough these same people thinks they are better than the government, they log online to criticize the gov for corruption, Even when they themselves benefits from the proceed of the same corruption.

When it comes to job, there is little the presidency can do, it all boils down to all these so called directors, even if millions of jobs are created, it will only be reserved for those who has the money to pay for it, thereby making it look like there are no jobs in nigeria.

lol..you are broke, and of all addictions, you decided to go for the expensive ones?

I'm sure the 200k you got for business must have been squandered by now..your problem is not something that can be solved on nairaland bro,
