If I change country with new identity what will happen, USA is not heaven and my life does not end there

SocialJustice:
Lol, I finally made my way to USA, I will now be looking for Nigerian girls to date? For what?

I wonder, when I came to hustle, I will even be looking for wealthy white people to correct their own wealth, what concern me with over Sabi Nigerian girls over there. Go ask CR7 why he never marry officially.

seborrhic:
As unfortunate as your example goes,yes!
Support for a party or hatred of another should not make us support illegality because it could easily turn around.
What Wike should do in the instance you sighted is report such to the state police commissioner whose place it is to investigate and make arrests,strictly at his own professional decision.
Wike is just being overzealous and playing to the gallery.
Unfortunately he has an inept federal leadership playing into his hands.

You mean report to the commissioner of police that does what Oga says, no my brother na virus we they fight and some rules and powers should wait later

Ishitinyourlife:
Seun listen and listen carefully, I don't care if you're a Muslim or a Christian but your bias on religion is intolerable, why in Gods name do we have to sign an undertaking to comment on a Muslim thread when they comment freely on us.
This is pure nonsense and you should do something about this, stop being unfair to a religion because of your personal disposition. I realise this is your website but there are rules that guides this shit you can't just do whatever you like.

Wooo, wooo seriously I don't notice this till now, honestly this is not negatiable the same rules must be applied in both side, I check it and as am talking to you mo I can't comment in musilm thread because I clicked no that i believe in God. Yes he owned the forum no doubt about that but if he really respect the people who made him who he is then he should as a matter of urgency remove such rules or apply it in both side simple.

Are you in Lagos?

No but I usually come to Lagos more often

Ausrichie:
Sorry bro. This caught my heart, learn game development and/or web development but mainly learn how to program well before learning any of those two, or else you'll become a washed programmer, one not even capable of implementing data structures. Start with C# very nice language for beginners, good for web development too then move to Python if you want. Then learn C++ and C (use C++ to learn how to build data structures) these languages are good for hardware programming and time critical applications and most importantly games. Then if you want to go further and build yourself as a professional programmer you could learn things like: Machine Learning, Artificial intelligence, Computer Graphics, Computer Vision, Cryptography. Then if you want to take a step further learn: Operating Systems (their structures and how to build them), Compiler Construction e.t.c. Learn how to use Github too, learn how to work with a team (finish learning how to program first).
For tutorials, you could go to edx they have free courses there but you would have to audit them and finish them within a short time (advice do it once at a time), you could also go to Coursera to learn too. As for books look for For Dummies books (search for them like this: C++ For Dummies, Python For Dummies, C# For Dummies) their books are amazing (if you love them so much you could buy their books)). There are other good books out there too, but hardly any ever treat the programmer like a true beginner.
Good luck hope I helped.

Thanks so much for your input, Your advise is well noted

Thanks for this thread bro
I finished secodary school 2016 and since i can't afford to further(Dad left us and mum is a petty trader) i began working with a bricklayer as a labourer until recently that i had a fracture on my leg and can no longer continue.
I have passion for programming and internet related stuffs so i am trying to purchase a laptop next month.
Please can anyone help me develop a skill that can sustain me and possibly build a career on it?
Please help a brother.

please for those sending me PM, I don't really know how Nairaland messaging system works, I usually see a notification that I have a mail and when click on it to check it I will be taken to my mail box but I don't see anything

samuelson06:
If you want to give a try, send me a PM. Blogging is similar to book publishing. However, make up your mind on what you want (primary) then pursue it. I publish books and I'd keep doing that for a long time because it works for me. You may choose to redefine and stick to blogging, go into programming or join me in publishing. You can even combine book publishing with blogging but follow your heart.

I have sent you a Pm, I wish to know everything about it

DrPureheart:
can you teach me blogging?

I got a message that you have sent message to me but when I check my email I don't see anything

samuelson06:
Coming from blogging, book publishing shouldn't be hard for you. You can give it a try. It's a great hustle.

yea blogging is a fun for me and I blog full time, I can I actually stay in front of my computer for 24 hours without feeling tired but I don't know about book publishing

DrPureheart:
can you teach me blogging?

Sure why not but it depends on your location and as it is now am equally looking for someone to help me become a programmer but I will start learning online as suggested

Ausrichie:
But you can do your normal work and learn. Nothing wrong it ain't that hard.

That's exactly what I intend to do, I will still be blogging to sustain myself while I learn

samuelson06:
Have you tried writing? I mean book publishing.

No bro I have not tried that

Taofeekdboy:
Well, my advice for you is to start learning on your own for a while, after that you can look for someone with experience to take you through some of the problems you will face. I started programming on my own(self taught), it was difficult at first but with dedication, time and passion, it worked.

I will tell you to learn one language at first, master it very well and do most things with it because if you are learning everything together at the same time, you won't be able to grab it at all.

No age limitation in programming, as it depends on your time, passion, start with Python(recommended) as it is easy to learn and the syntax is like English, good to read.

If you need any assistance, you can send me a message

Thanks for your suggestions, I will try to learn on my own as you suggested and see if I can understand it

samuelson06:
Why not do something else? I don't recommend that age for programming; not because your head can't carry it but because you may have to deal with responsibilities. If you start learning programming now, when would you finish so that you can start using the knowledge to make money?

Learning programming is like opening book chapters and to know the book you must read to the end. I'm talking about learning different programming languages. There are a lot of them. Programming also requires sitting in a place for long hours. Can you do that? Are you still under your parents so that they give you cover while you concentrate on sorting codes?

Do you have a great laptop with 4GB least RAM size? I'd recommend programming for a child but not for an adult with lots of responsibilities. Programming is too broad. However, if you focus on Android programming, you can get to the peak of it and start creating apps with Android Studio that you can monetize with Admob and upload to the Playstore. The more apps you can create, the better for you. But if planning to study programming and work for an organization such as Andela, I won't encourage you. You'd have to give at least 4 years into it and you'll need lots of money to buy courses.

Bro thanks a lot for your input but as I said earlier, I am a blogger and I take care of myself through blogging, though I don't earn much like some popular bloggers but at least between 2015-2017 I was making between N160,000 - 200k plus per month until Google made some changes that pushed my site down. However, am actually doing well in blogging but I don't want to live a life that depends on Google, you eat when Google decides and became hungry when they decide and that's the truth about blogging. Please I still need this help

samuelson06:
How old are you?

33 Sir (1986)

Please my fellow Nairalanders, I need serious help, I need to become professional programmer but I need one on one teaching and I don't mind relocating to any state to achieve this.

I know many will ask me to start online course and learn how to program in different languages but the truth is that most times I don't really understand those online courses and I prefer one on one tutorial. Though I am sure it will not be easy to find a professional programmer who will have time for this but if God touches your heart to help me please do it and I will forever remain faithful.

presently, I am a blogger and by God's grace I am doing a bit well but something pushed me to think about programming. Actually, I am not asking anyone to do this for free but honestly, I don't have much to offer or at least not to compare to the skill I wish to acquire.

I wouldn't like to share everything about my life here but the reason why I decided to become a programmer at all cost is because that's the only option for me, I dropped out of University because of money and became a blogger in 2012, I can read codes and edit them but can't code from scratch.

I am writing this with tears, I actually have brothers leaving abroad who are doing well, buying lands and other properties, they have all it takes to help me but no one cared that is why I need to respond to them positively, I believe that if I become a programmer I will have good opportunity to succeed on my own.

Please as I said earlier, am not asking this for free but if God touches your heart to help me, please do, I don't mind relocating for this

odimbannamdi:
Hello bro. I admire how detailed and thoughtful your submission is. Usually, i love to sit back, read and learn from more experienced folks regarding the age-long tradeoff between fuel economy and luxury of cars in Nigeria. But i am now compelled to lend my own voice.

First, my own definition of a luxury and pocket-friendly car is a Honda Pilot 2004 and above model or an Acura MDX 20404 and above model. Of course, our comparator will be the almight Corolla.. . My research so far has been centred around them, so i have a little theoretical knowledge about them.

This fuel economy issue is usually blown out of proportion by us. As long your Acura is bought tokunbo with no issues reported, the fuel consumption will not be significant at all.

Let us do a little maths. If we were to buy the Acura and Corrolla from Amdman, the difference between both 2004 models will be around 300k in favour of the Corrolla. Then lets say the cost difference between weekly fuel purchases is 2k extra for the Acura

So, it will take 2 years of having to buy fuel on a weekly basis before we expend 208k from that 300k extra we would have spent in getting the Corrolla.

Lets look at the maintenance. Assuming we spend an extra 10k on the Acura (in relation to the Corrolla) for bi-monthly general maintence, it will take us 2years to expend 120k. Total of 328k.

So it will take a whole 2 years of enjoying your Acura before the overall cost of ownership equates with that of the Corolla.

Now, lets look at the luxury aspect. It is a very subjective thing, so i will speak from my own aspect. Luxury begets productivity. If i am well comfortable, my productivity will be very high. All my travel time will be spent in my car, and thanks to Lagos traffic, travel time will run into several hours. So i deserve to get maximum comfort during those traumatic hours.

Finally, lets look at societal perception. E get the kind car wey you go use enter area like this, everybody go dey hail you anyhow, dem no go know sey brother Kazeem Corolla fit buy the motor get change sef. But my own full ground remain...lol. even for express sef, danfo go dey fear to scratch you gaaan coz sorry fit no end am...lol. Corrolla just dey everywhere. It is just too common jare.

Summarily, i will choose luxury over fuel-economy anytime because the Nigerian bias has made fuel-economy expensive. You will find yourself spending more in the short time as against the luxury option where you will spend it in the long term at your pace.

God wey give us money to use buy car, go give us money for fuel.

Thanks a lot for the info, I really don't like these Corollas because I don't see anything special about them but based on general recommendation, people like it because of parts availability and low fuel consumption. I wouldnt like to buy a ride that I will be going from shop to shop looking for parts. But you maths is well understood

[quote author=SaintHilary post=87402192][/quote]noted thanks

Hello Guys, I have been following this thread from page one but never commented because there are 3 categories of people viewing this page.

1. People that really want to buy a ride but looking for real value for their money.
2. People that are getting close and almost ready but not yet sure which ride to go for and as well looking for a better offer.
3. People that don't even have up to 200k but playing to God to pick their call or should I say working hard to see if they can own their own car.

Obviously, I belong to the third category, I really need a ride not actually for fun but you need to take kids to the school, go to church and other things but it starts by watching pictures and working hard to be able to make up the funds so don't blame those of us that watch the pictures and price.

Fuel economy debate!

I have seen what you guys had to say about whether we should consider fuel consumption as a priority before buying a car or not. I want to chip in something. None of you are wrong but we must know something very important.

Life is level by level, there are some people who have outgrown fuel problems, there are also people who change cars yearly or every 2 years and their problem is not actually how the car consumes fuel because it can't consume what they cannot afford.

On the other hand, what about those of us who cannot afford even a Nigerian used car at least for now, what makes you think it will be easy for us to spend let say 5k to 10k weekly fueling a car. My brother it depends on your level, I will rather stick to a ride that will take lesser fuel for now but my problem is that any car in that category is always expensive compared to some luxury rides.

I will disagree with my guys saying that going for a fuel economy car is poverty, that's not true. Trying to live above your level will actually do more harm than good, a wise man will always live according to his level not actually buying a luxury car that you can't even fuel and maintain comfortably.

Finally, the choice is always our's go for any ride that pleases you and to be honest, I have seen some Acura SUV at 1 million + here that made me shake my head and say God when but am always confused to see this Corolla 2004-2008 at the same price or even above. When it comes to the physical look and luxury those Corolla is nothing to be compared to the Acura SUV am seeing here but since I don't know anything about cars maybe some expert will know the reasons why Acura SUV is this cheap.

Oh! I forget to say that I am planning to buy my own ride but my pocket is still blind and watching this thread and what you guys are saying will help me make the right choice.

Thanks to you guys especially Amadman, you must be spoiling business for some greedy niggers. One love.

What's your location and can it go for 450k
