You rarely hear Daniel Olukoya of MFM engage in this kind of talks. What I do not understand about Oyedepo is that he dabbles too much into politics. Despite my respect for him, and I know I supported his visions many times in the past, also appreciate his entrepreneurship skills; I started paying less attention to him for directly supporting Jonathan and he was against the Vice president Prof Osinbajo. And till date, Osinbajo has not for once attacked this man. So, I started watching Adeboye (Osinbajo's pastor) to know who he is. And funny, he seems exactly like Osinbajo. I am about assuming that the same spirit lives in Adeboye lives in Osinbajo. The irony is that Oyedepo and Adeboye are close too.

People close to Oyedepo should tell to him to talk less. Let him emulate Daniel Olukoya who does not fight his battles with direct confrontation, but on his knees. You guys should watch it. Daniel doesn't dabble into politics at all, but you dare not rough handle him. You will return to beg him. What has Winners done that MFM has not done? The latter just decided to not acquire too much wealth and he lives his life silently but shaking and mouldings behind the scene on his knees.

"Me, a tire for this oyedepo oooo". Chai!


Eviana, one reason I am looking into churches established a long time ago (Methodist, Anglican, apostolic, Adventist, etc) is cos the hierarchy does not allow one person to command and control people and resources. Most Christians in Nigeria are blind and they follow prosperity preachers anyhow. You need to add to your prayer list this issue. That God should open the eyes of baby Christians. Adventist, Apostolic and Methodist are some of the olden denominations I am so opened to presently.

Universities should be closed indefinitely while polytechnics can resume. Polytechnics are not fun environments hence social distancing is observed but universities may not be able to manage the situation.

Polytechnics should be used as a testing ground for the possibility of virus spread in campuses.

If you're a self paced learner, edx.org should be on your list of resources.

Regarding the topic on salary. I wont drop any figures. When you're done with the basics, do the following:

1. Continuously beef up your Github profile with interesting projects (not todo list or sample projects you pick up when learning). You can do simple and interesting projects. You can do the same project using different stacks to show your range.

2. Be active on StackOverflow by providing helpful answers.

3. Create a simple and realistic linkedin profile (don't enumerate what you can't do)

4. Never stop learning. Never stop developing yourself. Never stop looking for what is trending. This is the problem I have with the PHP and Wordpress (N15,000 website) people.

5. Don't look for a Nigerian job. With decent power supply, a good computer with one or two additional screens and a fair internet connection, you're open to the world for business. The Nigerian market cannot afford you (yet). You didn't come this far to build 5-paged websites.


Don't try to learn all the languages there are out there. Learn the fundamentals of programming. Learn data structures and algorithms and you will be able to pick up any language and go through it in a weekend.

For any new project, don't settle for the stack in your comfort zone. Its possible there are newer techs to get that project done better. Explore your options and choose the best stack. Always try to add one new thing to your stack range with every project. It could be something as little as writing functional CSS with Tachyons instead of the normal CSS or using NextJS instead of CreateReactApp for ReactJS... just play around, you have no limits.

P.S: The industry is not a quick money scheme. I recommend having something else to support yourself while you learn. Please do not use the salary as a motivation to learn. Try and build passion for it. If you can't build the passion, leave it, try another field. Passion is important because you will need it when you eventually start working as a programmer (a job that can get very boring at times).

Another interesting field that's related to programming is DevOps. You can consider that at some point.

I'm a Christian o, but pls go and sleep, the Bible that said prevention is better than cure isn't stupid, God cannot be mocked.


Modified;
I've been told the phrase "prevention is better than cure" isn't in the Bible, let's agree to disagree.

Racism is difficult to erase as it is usually put in the minds of people from childhood through racial slurs, stereotyping and prejudices. This engraves enduring sense of race superiority in the . It is the same thing with sense of ethnic superiority, which is common here in Nigeria.

However, extreme racism comes from feeling of combination of superiority and benefactory. A son of a millionaire will rarely treat the child of gateman as a mate or equal. The sense of superiority is there. But all that will certainly change if in future the son of gateman achieved success and wealth to operate on the same frequency with the son of the rich man. Respect is earned and sense of superiority disappears.

My point is Nigeria and Nigerians will continue to be rated and viewed poorly by Chinese and other such countries until we elect visionary leaders, install basic infrastructure that are taken for granted in other countries, upgrade our economy, import less and produce more locally and stop dependence on economies such as China for goods, services and developmental loans and grants.

As far as we remain a hopelessly unproductive import-depedence country known largely for a medley of mismanaged oil wealth, corrupt leaders and systems, runaway doctors, good footballers, youth emigration, online frauds, drug trafficking, etc., don't expect to be treated like a giant when you are actually a midget.

They are telling you the real fact, you call it rubbish I don't know why Africans choose to die on something that is isnt ours coz all this religion is not ours, it was brought in to Africa, I even detest the person that brought it to Africa...

We pray and hope for miracles while others strive to results. That why we are far far behind... Take a look at those who owns the religion how they live their life like a prisoner..

Nawa ooooo..... I tire for black man ooooo with black mentality and Black mind.. maybe that is why we don't flow in the normal way.
