i'm planning on studying computer science in unilorin but it seems the public consensus is that computer science taught in nigeria university is outdated so is it worth the money and time to still study it.
I love computer science but i'm mainly doing it for the money and i'm currently learning python so is it worth going to study it in the university to get the certificate or being self-taught is better

Continue to learn programing properly while you do the degree. Yes outdated but you could still pick a thing or two. Go into tech for the right reasons, to solve problems, when you do relevance will follow and for sure money will go with the relevance

What is happening in Zamfara is a clash of interest.
The deputy governor did not decamp because his father is a political heavy weight and still in PDP this means he has a chance at being the governor in his mid 30s.

This is not same type of coach I used. I just got back to Abuja from Kaduna and I was in the VIP coach to and fro and there's a difference

Franzee:
My Dad wants me to travel abroad which is a nice idea �. I wish to go outside to do undergraduate program. Am looking at Canada... which means I would need IELTS or TOFEL

Am good in computer as an a programmer so am wondering what is the best option and best country to go.

And hope Admission won't be a problem because I have only WASSCE....



Please your comment really matters, I don't want to shoot shot twice

My preference will be the US, it's the IT central. Your a programmer maybe learn some DevOps too, you can even earn while still in school

Tetraninja:
I’m going back to school soon and I’m wondering what courses can this waec result get?
Maths C6
Biology D7
English C4
Further maths F9
Chemistry C4
Economics B3
Marketing C5
Civic education A1
Physics F9

You can study Economics, from what I see you will make a good candidate for that. You can also study Business Administration or Management or Management Information Systems

Zico5:
To me Noun is still work in progress. Many companies still don't recognize the degree from this university. Even moribund private universities are still somehow ahead of it. Well, nobody knows tomorrow. You can give it a trial. But I will suggest u try public university if u are still below 20. That's my own advice.

I wonder were you got your "conclusions" from. An accredited degree is an accredited degree.

MoneyMusthear:
Good day everyone.

This is a quick one; are there any disadvantages of getting a first degree from NOUN? Please, avoid speaking out of prejudice.

I have resolved to acquire some digital skills and intern afterwards in the said field, and this plan may not permit me to go to a conventional university. The only possible option is to run a degree in NOUN and work/intern concurrently.

What is your honest advice?
Mods, kindly move to frontpage. Thank you.

Kindly go ahead, their degrees are accredited

Boogiebee:
Hello Nairalanders,

So straight to the point. Please I need your advice about two things.

1. I just got my inheritance and I got cash of 8M and there's this popular belief of people squandering their inheritance,I don't want that to be my portion so which business can I invest it into. For context, I currently have a job and I'm not ready to quit so please put that into consideration.

2. My younger brother is still a student so he has asked me to save his portion of 6M in bank until he graduates but I don't think that's a good idea. I would rather he put it in some form of secure investment that will be yielding something. Kindly give us suggestions.

May the soul of my beloved Father continue to rest in peace. Amen

Kindly take your time. Maybe for now put it in a fixed deposit.
Don't fall for people that tell you the first thing to do is to go abroad. Without a conctrete plan you will suffer.
You have a job take your time to decide on what to do

This is a very incomplete narration. I was at the service and the way it's presented is is not the true picture.

These are my benefits as an NGO staff in the private sector. I have housing allowance, education allowance, transport allowance and even hazard allowance. My allowances alone without salary is up to the annual earning of a new professor that earns 416k monthly according to the ASUU chairman. How many FG workers are entitled to this?

The problem is a lot of people have little or no information on topics they say a lot about, thank you for this

brandsoncharlie:
In terms of job security it doesn't matter where you work in Nigeria you can be laid of at anytime, that's the misconception about most people in Nigeria that thinks when you get FG job there are OK, I have family members who work in immigration, nnpc, customs, fg ministry, I have seen their colleagues get laid off just like others in the private sector.
People are looking at future prospects in terms of positions, rank, salary wages bonuses access to loans and age in retirement when compared to others.
If you are working in the private sector and you are not an expatriate in your field of work forget you won't go far compared to someone who's working in a FG job.
I have a friend who works in shell petroleum, he's an expatriate in the field of mechanical engineering obtained so many technical skills and experience from UK, shell laid him and millions of people across Nigeria, he was able to stand on his feet because of his expertise, but when compared to his colleagues who are in FG job he was found wanting.
But today he has achieved a lot and works as contractor with shell when needed and other firms but when compared to his colleagues VS FG job there are far below them.
I won't advise anyone to rely on FG job nowadays because Nigeria has changed in so many dimensions today with huge debt to pay.
Epcl was a FG company but was sold which is now Indorama Eleme Petrochemical Limited (IEPL), located in Port Harcourt, so many staffs were laid off as at that time.

First, do you mean "expert" or "expatriate"? From your post, you are from the Niger Delta nd mostly exposed to the oil sector, which by the way is evolving worldwide. There are a lot of other sectors people do well in. I agree there is no security anywhere but like you said when you horn your skills you will be in demand.

Ogunleti01:
"A lot of regular civil servants that have "achieved" are into sharp practices." Fallacy of Hasty generalization

I said a lot and not "every"...I talk from a standpoint of what I've seen not heard or assumed

brandsoncharlie:
Have you worked in a FG job before, go and see what people who are in FG job has achieved a lot more than their counterpart, if not for this buhari regime that's slow.

Making blanket statements is very funny. Yes I have and I have family there too. It's ok to want to work the government but for the right reasons.
There's a difference between working for certain govt agencies like NDIC, CBN, FIRS and the likes and working for a ministry.
A lot of regular civil servants that have "achieved" are into sharp practices.
All I'm saying is if all you want in a job is "security" then you may never get to a certain level. Life I'd beyond been sent for courses and owning a house after 25 year's.
There's so much out there why limit yourself?

freegaza:
The only sensible comment here . So many dumb people, one is even saying he'd rather go for 25k with FG than 1 million in a private sector.

People work in the private sector for 5 years and earn what you will not earn in your 35 years of service in the government

People are so caught up in "security" they forget opportunity is more important.

PSVITA:
Bro am currently working in a minning company and the pay is 123,776.42 with accommodation and transportation, but am still searching for a job with FG because of job security!

Job security is a myth, do you want to get ahead in life or just be in some place?
For as long as you are at the top of your game, no one will sack you just like that. You can be more than just a civil servant please

Team white anyday anytime to save myself to early grave

The movie impression we have white people amazes me. Humans are humans.

dawnomike:
Follow your heart.. it will get to a stage in your life, where what you make from barbing saloon will not be enough for to live on any longer.
It is either you proceed to upgrade yourself r be left behind.

Don't listen to things like this. Your heart can lead you wrong.
You can be a barber, a student and still learn development

ednut1:
cheap scam, start work in Canada without getting visa for you first. There is no job in Canada waiting for you. Na yahoo boys you dey chat

To get a work visa you must first of all get employment. This is different from the PR route.

kakaflex:
Good Evening Everyone.

I currently work in a company and my monthly take home is 210k. A friend helped me to apply for a Job in Canada, I did the interview Last Month and I was sent a congratulatry message Yesterday from the Company to start work in Canada.

Am having little fears, have not been to Canada, I don't know how they operate, I don't have family there, my friend that applied for me stays in New York.

What if I go and things didn't work out fine, I lose my 210k job and lose Canada job.

Pls should i do. Help

Get all the details and terms of service. Are they sponsoring your migration?

******TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN******

Mohammed Danjuma Goje (born 10 October 1952) was a former Governor of Gombe State, Nigeria under the platform of the People's Democratic Party (PDP), taking office on 29 May 2003 during the 2003 Gombe State gubernatorial election. He is now a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC)

This man rule 4 good 2 tenure yet nothing 2 proof 4 (I even hear DAT d road leading 2 his home town if bad as anything)

Yes d people has wake up

You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time.
Abraham Lincoln

Stop spreading rumours. Goje did well with infrastructure, the guy beofre him called Hashidu did nothing, the guy after him who did well too built on what Goje did.
What is at play is political differences

Penguin2:
What happened to David Mark?

Or is Iyorchia Ayu not also a Christian?

PDP governors should work to install David Mark. The man is a colossus himself and being from Benue, he might likely not try to perpetuate any northern agenda by trying to make a northerner emerge as presidential candidate.

PDP should not make any mistakes.

Iyorchia Ayu is Benue and in fact Tiv which is the largest minority in Nigeria. If you say because Mark is a heavy weight I agree with that

genkins:
With church money? Was he good at anything before he started his church? Did he practice his course and became renowned in it? The only business he knows is collecting from you.. Use your brain if u have one

sadly for you, I don't even attend the church. Losers like you just have a loud mouth, reason is zero.
So is your money there?

Bigchristo:
Have you noticed that Igbo’s are the major dominant on this list?

It is an almost even distribution per state, look at the full list. Smaller states got a little less, states like Bayelsa, Bauchi

genkins:
CE built it and not Chris. Chris is jobless and only depends on handouts from members.. So the members built it

Since he told you he doesn't do business abi

kinzation:
School fee go still use scope enter laslas

This some the first of its kind. He's built in Adamawa too with a hospital. That they don't make noise doesn't mean they don't do

genkins:
Mnn! Built by christ Embassy or Chris? What is Chris Oyakilome's job that he can afford to build a free school? Christ Embassy is a church where funds contributed by members built a free school.. Let's get that right

Since you know everything about him abi

[quote author=fydence post=106493737][/quote]You called them missionaries right? Do you learn Architecture from a gardener?
The thinking that white people are not religious or do not identify with religions makes me laugh.
What did we do with our ancient religions we practised for so long with no headway?
Our mentality is our problem and not religion. Always looking for a reason to be placed as inferior

theNaughtyPope:
Get your facts right. Redeemed was one of the Biggest 'pentecostal' churches at the time

Like I said maybe the region you grew up. I am fr ok m the north and free up in the north yet I didnt know redeemed till late 90s.
It only got popular io n the region in the 2000s.
Hate him if you will but redeemed under Adeboye saw exponential growth, the figures are there google is your friend, use it

Chiffy:
Colonization mentality. Adeboye is beginning to sense that he might be loose key members. So he has to preach propaganda to install fear into their hearts to make his key pastors think that they cannot succeed on thier own.
Church na just business/economics

Loose key members, who are? Commenting is not a must

theNaughtyPope:
No be small temptation

Nigerian pastors have turned into impulsive liars. Who tempted you, and what tempted you. In the 70s when you became a pastor, pentecostal churches were not as popular as it is today. You rose to prominence because you were learned.

When you took over from Josiah Olufemi in 1981, the church was already one of the largest pentecostal churches in Nigeria, and of course one of the wealthiest.

The church was so rich you bought the campground under three years of administration.

Today, you're a proud owner of a luxury jet that cost over $50million and you're talking of temptation.

You're one of those who foresaw that religion was lucrative. And while you were making money and investing tithes and offerings in Real Estate and oil, you made your followers to believe that prayers move mountains, and that witches and family are responsible for their poverty.

If God is ever going to punish Nigerian politicians, Pastors and religious leaders will get double.

Redemmed was not even close to one of the biggest churches.
Maybe in the west people one the church but if you grew up in other regions like I did its not true. I ever knew redeemed till late 90s.
Hen he took over he was already an academic headed somewhere and was still lecturing and restoring at the some time.
