Don't do something you will regret doing. Suicide is not a pain borne by you alone, your relatives will forever be sorrowful.

I was indebted, house rents, several loan apps, I happened to have many families and friends linked to my WhatsApp where the loan sharks have embarrassed me severally.

I owed more than whatever you are going through coupled with losing job, business gone bad etc. It was like the world was after me.

But one thing kept me going, "prayer and strength from God's words".
Since I have no control over the mess, every day, loan calls, families and friends sending the WhatsApp messaged they received about me. Wife and children embarrassed in the neighborhood.

During those periods, I read about a content delving into tech skill. I chose one, and followed it.

I'm not totally out of the debts but I felt ease now and life became more meaningful once again.

I don't know how yours is, but I doubt you have debts up to N10M. That is me. My overall debts then was way over N15M due to some businesses went bad.

No matter the amount anyone gives to you now, you will still go hungry tomorrow and feel more aggressive.

I could sense you can communicate in English and lettered. Throw your desperation to eatery as dish washer, cleaner, house help etc. Survival is what you need now, perhaps when you solve that, you can upskill.

Hassanmaye:

He should start trading in crypto I started with 50k

Not everyone can risk such. Crypto is not for the faint hearted. Moreso, you don't know his level of risk and technical savviness.

He needs to be able to save up to have a liquid cash. Currently earning 12k monthly and you want him to invest in crypto.

This is bad considering how the economy is bitting. However, this job is what you have presently.
People may ask you to quit but do they have something you can get engaged in?

In my opinion, you need a better job. I don't know what skill you have, this current job is not sustainable.
While you are doing the cleaning job, try to be sociable to people. Perhaps you can get a daily tip. You can also offer home service like laundry, house cleaning for workers who are usually busy. Be flexible as the money is what matters at this moment.

Whatever comes up, try to save with thrift collectors (trusted hands) or cooperative. After some months they can give you loans. Look out for a profitable business like POS with lower risk. Then you can quit.

Don't forget, help from people is what you need at the moment. You can't quit to go learn work except you have someone bankrolling you.

Also ensure to update us how it fair for you on your pursuit.

Download w3schools. You can also run your compiled code on it or get and extension.

What are you offering, if I may ask? Laravel web based, and flutter backend.

Happy new month in advance guys.

Can't wait for November to be here then December God willing.

If one devouts steadily 2-3 hours each day from November till December, you should be done with HTML+CSS + mid level JavaScript.

By January ending in 2024 you should have started building responsive websites and portfolio. Who knows, you may get a remote entry level role requiring basics of HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React, Bootstrap/Tailwind.

See you next month!

Such a wise one from you. I'm bookmarking this.

Have you learnt a life lesson from what played out in the life of these boys lately?

They went from grass to grace and back to grass.

I pray luck shines on them again.

James4358:
It's cool... But personally I WONT.
I lived with an uncle years back, who's wife was a Lt. Colonel. She was very submissive most times,. But my uncle got hot slaps most times cause she was hot tempered. Didn't live with them for long though, cause I never had the needed freedom.

This is hilarious to say the least.

Private firms are also feeling the heat. So, if you desire not to have a deficit after income-expenditure, then you need to double your game.

We never expected the shock we got especially the sharp inflation and naira devaluation.

Here is my honest advice, at your leisure, learn a skill. It could be tech or any other things. Next year is not looking promising, don't expect $1 to be less than N1000.

Your post made the frontpage. Who knows, if you are consistent in making relevant and trending post, you can earn from it too.

Or you think people are joking creating contents on TikTok, FB, Instagram, YT?

Start something today, there are lots you have no control about. But take care of the one within your control.

pman06:
Following. Was looking to learn this and combine my DevOps skills to automate deployment processes for web3.0.

That will be a huge gain for you. DevOps skill is a hot cake in the market.
I will bookmark that too for last quarter of 2024 God willing.

Has the idea of ever dating or marrying a military woman ever crossed your mind?

Can you date or marry a military woman?

Get on X platform. There are some tech philanthropist who usually help with that.
You may be lucky as there are tons of people in your condition too.

The best technique is to approach family and friends. Tell them you have a passion to learn programing. With evidence of the above claimed you made.

You may suggest the total amount and percentage expected from them as no one will be willing to foot the whole bill.

Any idea

Check what it worths on Fiverr, Upwork.
The issue we have in Naija is that we are not used to charge per hour.

If you are lucky, $20/hr and this may take 48hrs+

It is note worthy for you to dedicate time for acquiring the skills as there is no other way to becoming good in web3dev (web 3.0 development).

The starting curve may seems low but consistency is the rule. A 30 minutes today, another few minutes there before you know it, you will master something great.

There is no strick rule to this journey, just do what works for you. This is one reason why mentoring has been quite difficult in the field.

But it's going to be easy to find mentors when you have the readiness and dedicated spirit. The daily distractions and challenges won't go anytime soon. You'll be shock it will pile up even stronger than you are experiencing. The reason is to test you but if you don't hold a sway to the distractions and challenges thrown at you, you will succeed.

I want to share a guide for anyone who wants to begin the web dev aspect.

Don't forget, to be a successful web3dev, you need the frontend and backend skills to a certain extent. Web3.0/Blockchain projects are similar to web2 as they make use of the same scripts, libraries, frameworks, databases, languages etc.

Though, there are other things that are not useful for web development that you will need to understand when it comes to Blockchain development such as solidity, smart contract etc. You will know this as they all come handy and are available as information for you to grab online.

Here is a simple road map for a FullStack Development Learning:

1) HTML + CSS= Day 1-20
2) JavaScript= Day 21-35
3) Bootstrap or Tailwind= Day 36
4) Apply what you have learn= Day 37-46
5) React = Day 47-60
6) Python = Day61-91
7) Django and Node.js = Day91-121
8] MongoDB and MySQL= Day 121-141
9) Git and GitHub = Day 142-160
10) Rest API or JSON API= Day 161-172
11) AWS and Google cloud = Day 173 - 185
12) Build project and intern

As earlier said, you may not need all listed above just know the demands in the market and select the ones in high demand for both backend and frontend. (I have earlier explained the ones that belong to backend and frontend).

Hi everyone, sorry for not seeing update for somedays.

The contents I posted last was removed by the mod and I was banned from posting for few days.

I tried to check if it's my post on this thread or elsewhere that caused the banning.

Well, the testimony is that I'm back.

I will implore the mods to at least help notify us what our offenses are whenever we got banned. It will enable us to be more cautious.

You guys are doing a great job but more needs to be done in the aspect of fair content policy.

I will try my best to keep to the rules in order to educate the readers of this particular thread.

Remember in previous lesson, a breakdown of those simple steps for anyone who wants to dive into web3.0 as a developer was highlighted.

In this lesson, let's look at what makes up the web development.

Web development entails both front end development and back end development. What frontend means is the web development aspect that takes care of the visual aspect or what people see on a web page generally.

The beautiful colors, images, videos, texts, forms and many things users of a web page interact with. It requires a front end developer to put those things in order.

While the aspect of the web page users can't see but makes the web page function including the server is put together by the back end developer.

So, anyone who is skilled in handling both front-end and back-end development, such is called a fullstack Developer.

Hold these terms in your left hand, don't forget them: frontend developer, backend developer and fullstack developer. I trust you won't forget them else, I will ask you to knee down and raise your hands up.

So, as a frontend developer what are the skills one needs?

Frontend Developer Stacks: HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React, Bootstrap, Tailwind, SASS, JQuery, Vue, Angular, Typescript, Foundation, Git and GitHub.

As a backend developer what are the skills one needs?

Backend Developer Stack: JavaScript, Python, Java, PHP, C++, C#, Ruby, Go, Rust, Express, Laravel, Django, MongoDB, Spring, MySQL, PostGreSQL, Node.js, ASP.net, Rails, Rest, JSON, Git and GitHub.

Wawuuuu, this thing plenty oooo. Calm down, you don't necessarily need all infact, most developers don't know all. You just need to know few, build on them, practice and build projects to increase your chances out there.

Streamlined, if you can master few stacks as a frontend developer or backend developer, you are good to go.

Frequently asked questions about Web Development (FAQ.

1) How many languages do I need to know in order to become a front end developer?
Ans: Depending on your capability but the common stacks are HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Reacts, Bootstraps, Angular or Tailwind, Git &GitHub.

2) How many languages do I need to know as a backend developer?
Ans: You need to follow trend in the job opportunities. Common ones are JavaScript/Python, MongoDB, Express, Node.js, Git &GitHub.

3) Why is Git & GitHub repeating itself for both?
Ans: Git is a version control system, if you want to track how your code changes, it's good for it. GitHub is a web-based hosting service for git repositories. Hence both FE and BE developers need them.

4) How many days will it take me to learn these?
Ans: Learning doesn't stop. But if you have a well planned schedule, you should be able to ace the front end development in 3-4 months. But if you want to become a full stack developer meaning to be able to handle both frontend and backend, you will need a minimum of 6 months.

5) Where can one learn web development or fullstack development?
Ans: Best of any learning is to have a mentor or teacher who will follow up with you bumper-to-bumper. But if you are good to self-teaching yourself, check the lists of sites below.

6) Are the training free or one needs to pay?
Ans: some are free while others apply fees. If you need one that comes with certificates, you will pay. But if you have no budget, pick the free sites.

7) When I'm done, how easy is it to get job?
Ans: This depends on many factors. But I can say the skills are top-notch and in high demand. Remember, job like this is skill based rather than certificate. Prospective employers (remote or onsite) will need you to display competency. If you can scale the interview process, be rest assured you are in.

8 ) What's the salary scale like?
Ans: As at 2023, many remote jobs in US and Europe pays from $50,000-$95,000 per annum for entry level developers while senior level developers earn $100,000-$450,000 per annum depending on the project and how skilled you are.

9) What about in Nigeria, how much is the salary?
Ans: Most entry level job roles pay between N100k-N150k while senior level varies from 400k-1M. I prefer the foreign based county because you earn in $$$ and you can work remotely.

Here are some sites you can learn from:

[1) w3schools- offers both free and paid.
2) LinkedIn E-learning - offers paid
3) Udemy - offers paid
4) Udacity -paid
5) Tutorials point- offers free and paid
6) Edureka - paid
7) Simplilearn - free
8 )SkillForAll - free and paid
9) GeekforGeek- free
10) Freecodecamp - free and paid
11) YouTube- free but you need to get data.
12) Coursera - both free and paid
13) CodeAcademy- free
14) Sololearn - free

Note: web3.0 needs a firm grip at web dev first even if it's to acquire the basic skills. If you can also garner experience interning with a Blockchain firm after your web development training, it will make the journey easier. In the next post, more light will be shed on what else to add to the basic skills before advancing into web3.0/Blockchain development.

Indeed
Folks are going through hell

Yes, that's why I don't judge whenever they decided to japa.

Anything that works for everyone as long as it's legal.

Funny enough, if there is a free flight to UK this week, Nigeria will almost be empty.

People are going through hell in their own country, they would prefer a place they can earn even if it takes them to work assiduously.

Seeing an old man gathering woods and sands from flood just to feed tells you how worst things are presently.

At times I said I'm broke, but received some SOS messages from married people who just need to put food on the table for the night even though the next day wasn't sure. I have to empty my account most times for those in dire need. Someone close to me committed suicide despite the little help we could gather for him financially.

Nigeria , Nigeria, Nigeria my dear country, you will one day be healed from this mess you are.
We still trust for a better day someday.

Even the rice alone should be 10k or close.

If you are just joining this thread, please, take a little effort to scroll up so you can understand where we started from.

In this post, I will explain the first step which has been highlighted in previous post on the steps towards becoming a Blockchain/Web3.0 Developer.

Before diving into what the web development entails, I want to briefly explain the term web3.0.

Web3.0 is a short form of referring to the technology phase of the website. Web development has passed through several phases namely: web1.0, web2.0 and now web3.0. Once web3.0 is fully grown and explored another phase of technology will emerge.

I) Web 1.0 was like a big book that everyone could read, but only a few people could write in. Web 1.0 technology is the first generation of the World Wide Web. It was characterized by static web pages that were mostly created and maintained by a small number of web developers. Users were primarily consumers of content, with limited opportunities to interact with websites or other users.

ii) Web 2.0 This is more like a notebook where everyone can write and share their ideas. Web 2.0 technologies have made it easier for people to communicate and share information with each other. They have also made it easier for people to learn and create new things.

iii) Web3.0 This allows users to read+write+own the contents at the same time. Web3.0 is the next generation of the internet. It is still under development, but it has the potential to revolutionize the way we interact with the internet and with each other.

One of the key features of Web3.0 is that it is decentralized. This means that it is not controlled by any one entity, such as a government or a large corporation. Instead, it is controlled by a network of computers that are owned and operated by users.

Another key feature of Web3.0 is that it is more secure and private than previous generations of the internet. This is because it uses cryptography to protect user data and to ensure that transactions are secure.

Summary:

Web1.0= read only

Web2.0= read + write

Web3.0= read + write + ownership

JASONjnr:


Dude, there is nothing logical about surviving with 10k for a year.

Today, you can't give someone 10k to survive.... You have to consider other factors.

Probably, I missed what logical means.

But I know that, if you must asked a logical question, you must first and foremost be reasonable about asking stupid questions.

10k?

Already read your contribution. You have been notified.

JASONjnr:
Lol.....

But why would Nigerians be asking unimaginable questions like this?

You will just be on your own enjoying your peace, somebody will bring mic and ask you what can you do with 100billion US dollars...

Money that the person askin will never see in their life.

It's a logical question. It's to see how far some of us can reason. Usually no right or wrong answers as every answer is seen as an attempt.

mariahAngel:
I would sharpaly go into pure water distribution business, supplying shops and homes.
We must not run down o.

This is good though, I love the business aspect you come from.

Let's learn from others too.

Nwodosis:
One particular region of the country were given two pounds per individual and they survived!

You still have not answered. The question asked about YOU.

I came across a logic question related to something like this. Though I have tried to edit it for so it can make much sense to anyone who cares to answer it.

YOU WERE GIVEN N10K TO SURVIVE IN NIGERIA FOR A YEAR. IF YOU SUCCEED, YOU’LL WIN N100M. HOW WILL YOU DO IT?

Let's have an open mind on this logical question.

Please, let's stay off from calling names of political parties or anyone. Attack the question and not the country nor the leaders. Thanks!
