Raymeg7:
yes boss I do, I even have 2, baba I really want to lean that cyber security, and online marketing, even coding ,

I've mentioned you on a path right above.

zellfoxx:
I recommend you start at the very beginning i.e CompTIA A+ or Network + (even the old CCENT or CCNA materials you can find online is great) in your case.

While I agree that starting with CompTIA Sec+ may be the obvious choice since your interest is in Cybersecurity, but that assumes you have prior IT knowledge.

Do get the very basics of Networking on lockdown before taking more of the heavyweights. If you don’t, you may be able to clear the initial hurdles. But I bet you, the further you go, the more you’ll see that adequate understanding of fundamentals matter if you intend to make a career in Cybersecurity.

He can also try this pattern - study online via Udemy, Alison, and other almost free online training sites. Then proceed to Sec+ albeit CompTIA requires one has Network+ (or two years experience) first before sitting for Sec+.

@jintata @vickyrotex God bless you for untiring efforts at impacting on people. Please I have interest in cyber security and CEH. What's the learning path. I don't have any prior IT skill
. Kind regards

This can also help you visually.

Hotty321:
im interested in it and how can I be one

Like I said from Ground Zero (0).

ITF+ (A+ is also CompTIA's advanced type for IT Fundamentals albeit more focus on computer components especially on the hardware side of things) - (CompTIA and ISACA have certifications for this level, albeit ISACA is expensive compared to CompTIA).

Network+ (or Networking skills) and Security+ (for securing networks and infrastructure) are advanced levels offered by CompTIA.

ISACA groups its own as ITCA - Information Technology Certified Associate.

These certifications can be gotten from multiple CB (Certification Bodies), but you can start with learning about these courses by registering with Udemy, Alison et al to learn them very well before sitting for the exams.

Hotty321:
who can do the job sir, I mean is it for only someone with tech background?

Nope. Anyone with resilence, sheer determination can do it.

Start with the fundamentals.

chikason22 ooh

Iyin should take a break from Twitter. It's causung him more harm than good.

Gamesmart:
Looks like your life is doomed.

Just find a way to mixed with your baboon relatives where you are.

Thank you sir. I'll do exactly so sir.

Gamesmart:
1) Read more on topics and issues on the internet.

2) Read from reliable sources, not junk sites.

3) Read widely and look at solid for and against arguments.

The internet is a more useful tool than most Nigerian education nowadays and majority of the knowledge on it is free. All you need to do is buy data.

Unfortunately, many Nigerian "yoots" prefer to use the data to learn EPL scores and about BBN.

Thank you sir. There's no internet where I stay. What does it look like?

Chopchopfine:
I can explain

Explain ooh banditken

Gamesmart:
Your education is very poor.

Thank you sir. That's why I'm trying to improve it from guruslike you on Nairaland.

Any tips to improve my education?

Bandit

No différence between you and bandits, @op.

Bandits use their destruction to terrorise people and create fear. You are doing the same.

Hotty321:
boss carry me along

I'm not à boss ooh.

On a side noté, cybersecurity is à area that needs more hands than ever.

Start from ground 0.

figure007:
lol ... I'm also a Manchester fan, you too should behave . Lol

The thing dey pain sà. It seems SAF left with our mojo

simpleseyi:
Buhari has never been sane.

And somehow you know? I'm not aware. I've not been informed.

PaulOtl:
And you just somehow knew or deduced (wrongly) that the car is my major source of worry or benchmark?? That I don't have other things of priority before car that is actually my worry. Oh wow. Because I said that? Nah. That is erroneous, Sir. That I mentioned not owning a car, didn't imply that it was the benchmark for success (even though, different strokes for different folks)
I don't think I actually owe you the answer to that question of yours. It sounds pun intended. Let's leave that for me, shall we?
I wonder how one would just think that I have been staying without planning my own career path before now. Lol...It is well. NL....

Because you mentioned it, which is I picked on that. If it isn't, not a problem. No need to explain to me.

Excuse my stupid self commenting on your post. You don't need to answer. You owe your life to yourself and your Maker not me.

Have a wonderful day ahead of you sir. Shalom.

Politics can make sane people insane. My two koko.

fergie001:
Perfectly balanced

I sight you fergie baba with the roll call. Ororo is like fine wine on the pitch . But off the pitch, I give up on his matter

PaulOtl:
It doesn't always work or happen this way, Sir.
Trust me, people think I'm box'd up. I look it facially, and via my carriage. But the reality is that I'm broke or struggling. Even when I've tried a few things out, didn't work out.
But it's all narrowed down to time and chance, like the book of Proverbs says. There's no formula to it. Different ways for different people...
At this age of 26 going to 27, I never thought i would not be driving my own car, legitimately gotten. Some things are deeper than the surface sha....so, dat one dey. Time will come.

The car shouldn't be your major source of worry or benchmark. Be honest, have you sat down to map your career path?

Raymeg7:
boss I as I left the bank, I don't have any area of anything, but I read purchasing and supply, and I'm good with computer,

You cracked me up with the first bolded comment Cybersecurity is a mine field. Even if you cannot get the bucks to hit the big certs, you can start from the bottom and rise. I hope you have a personal computer?

figure007:
Better. Man u is now shadow of herself

Behave... although you are right. But still behave.

'bout time, bruf.

Oredo? Jeez man!!!

patriks005:
There are things lacking for sure but no money as capital to get into business. That's why I need a job to save up and diversify into business.

What is your discipline? What's your area of expertise? What are your interests?

Raymeg7:
boss no side hustle, OND, NA GOD BABA, WITH 4 BOYS

What's your area of expertise? What are your interests?

KaluwisxPRO:
If thats the case, then he should confront the company. Or start using his experience to get side Foreign gigs that he can handle by himself.

He's on it already.

KaluwisxPRO:
That case you mentioned is an isolated case of a worker wanting to be paid in different currency besides what is in his agreement when he got employed.

Do you know how his company pays for foreign materials needed for their foreign Jobs? They have to source for USD via black market.

So it is only reasonable that their foreign gigs are paid in USD that doesn’t mean you as an employee gets paid in USD.

Letter said $ when USD is paid and Naira for Nigerian jobs .

Baba leave matter ooh. He who feels it, knows it.

patriks005:
Zero Naira �..

I dey Kaduna dey roast.
I need a job!

Look around you. Find à niché. What is lacking?

Iceberghill:
For me this is a useless thread how can you create thread asking people thier salaries of what importance is it to us

Not really useless. Indeed, Glassdoor et al have salariés for rôles because people supplied data.

KaluwisxPRO:
It cannot because both economies are different, Nigeria itself cannot accommodate the amount of tech innovation in India because they have a larger demand, market and society that relies heavily on tech, I’m using India as an example because using the US is not even comparable.

When we have the infrastructure that can accommodate our technological needs (Fiber, Indigenous satellites systems, Electricity, Data centers), Demand will increase and prices as well wether in Naira or USD.

How many Nigerian firm deploy technology in service delivery? Only a few

We are on the same page brother. At least, let it commensurate to à reasonable measure.

What we lack in infrastructure, we cover up with brains. You didn't comment on the example I gave.

bigfoot79:
A decade plus experience
800$ salary
Approximately 650# side hustles

That's décent for à décade plus experience.

karkinase:
I’m telling you.. this issue of Nigerians hiding salary is archaic. Employers are shortchanging us knowing we don’t know our worth.

The narrative is changing. Don't worry.
