Hello peeps,
I just noticed a lot of people go into web development with the aim of learning programming and get stucked, while only few people actually become software engineer. In advance country folks their decide from onset what they want to do with programming while some might not even know shit about web design when there are alot of area of specialization like firewall engineering, network engineering, multimedia engineering and lots more using only one or two programming languages for the rest of their career.

Alright

Thanks bro, glad to finally get positive review. My plan is to start with them next year.

Hello felas, i need your comment about software engineering program with HIIT in Ikeja.

Lol world what? Nah I’m still an amateur trust me

It's better to have you around if you don't mind on whatsapp.

It takes experience to be a good programmer and not necessary a qualification however a degree will make it it a lot easier to get hired to be honest.

A lot of companies use degree requirements as a filter when searching for ‘talent’ and tend to want some form of formal education, typically a bachelors, if not then MULTIPLE years of experience and an EXTENSIVE portfolio. You also tend to get paid more, a degree just tends to result in higher lifetime earnings, long term. There will always be exceptions of course but generally speaking.

So essentially, if you have the option to get a degree, I would advise you do but if not, don’t fret too much as opportunities will still come, you’ll just need to showcase yourself a bit harder than the rest.

I want to follow your footstep to become a world class programmer. I'm currently on java lang.

Please help a brother here, I uploaded my picture to obtain id card but each time I tried to process my id card. I get please upload your picture to proceed. How do I solve this error message.

They are setting the standards that is obtainable in conventional universities,I if you ask student of lautech how market they will have something to say. My own advice is that we should learn how to develop reading culture that breath in us lifelong learning. For those who are used to reading heavily that's not a problem but for beginners it might be a daunting task.

It's not a function of the school you go to, but what you become after the school itself. The school was just a platform to give you solid foundation to stand on and find your destiny.

Good evening Nairalanders, I have no idea how to go about making this as clear as possible, but truth is I married a stranger.
I met this Lady in 2012,we became friendly, and talked on consistently.
At the time she was on NYSC in Ikom cross River State. By the way she is from Obosi in Anambra state.
She was visiting me in Lagos every week, of course I paid for her flight tickets back and forth for all the times she visited till we got married and beyond. I have never let her use the bus or public transport to anywhere, it's either I drive her, she drives or a taxi.
A few months to her passing out, she told me she was pregnant, so I thought I would marry her and cut the drama short, but that was my undoing.
We got married, but all through, she spent more time with her parents and siblings.
Fast forward to 2016,my wife got a job through my sister in Abuja, and everything got worse, she wouldn't get back home till very late everyday.
Her explanation was that her boss delayed her.
I got to find out she was dating her boss later, even caught her at hotels in ikeja G. R,.A and on the island with her boss at very odd hours of the night.
Don't get me wrong, I am okay, I live in a 5 bedroom duplex in ikeja, the house is very comfortable and cosy, and almost completing my personal building at awoyaya in ibeju. i am not a poor man.
Well, she gave birth to my first child a boy, but insisted on C. S, then my daughter, through C. S too. All were elective!
She wouldn't come back home,and spent more time at her parents than in our home, always saying she needs herMum to watch the kids,while she is out, we got maids, but she was so violent with them, they all left.
Fast forward to 2017,i asked my wife to come back home, she refused, well I told her the marriage wouldn't work anymore,as she wasnt living with me for the past two years.
She immediately went and petitioned me at office of the Public defender in Lagos State citing domestic violence, irresponsibility as to my kids and stuff, I have always provided food, toiletries, medicals,as well as pay my children's school fees till this minute. But she teamed up with her Mum and brother to make up so many fabrications because they demanded I pay a stipend to them every month, and I said no, I won't do that, your daughter, my wife is in your house cos she wants to be there, not because I sent her away or anything like that.Her father is the only person who is sane, but the man is a pensioner and can't help himself much, so she treats him with intimidation She reported me to the police and all agencies you can think of, well at last they conducted their investigations and found out she was telling lies.
I am no more interested in keeping her, and she has vowed that I can't divorce her or I die, but my kids are the issue now.
I need sound advice on how to go about this.
Please no mockery, I am in dire need of good advice. Thanks.

In the first place do you findout anything about her past life or search for her childhood friends. You did married a stranger, beauty and emotions are not enough to start relationship, from your story the lady is smarter than you because she used pregnancy to get access and tied you to accomplish her aim. Never start relationship with women on the platter of side attraction or emotional attachment because you will surely backout later. Love only work after common sense has done justice to the case at hand. Go to court to file proper divorce papers and copy her.

I can't blame her, when the system promote entertainment beyond academic prospect, what do you expect.

It's obvious reasons why God created us differently and separately. In every enterprise you will surely see products or services and final consumer. can you imagine if final consumer now want to become product or service rendering. It would take decades of continuous and never ending hunger and perseverance to achieve that aim, that's why if you empower any Nigerian in that capacity they blow at higher frequencies.

A friend of mine is greatly in need of help how to manage his job while searching for another,. Just like what we used to hear about workplace politics. My friend got this job via online advert but other people find their way through connection economy so the branch manager will relate with you base on the person that brought you in, now my friend does not no anyone and he has this behaviour of aiming higher while developing himself through other means of study.
He told me the company will like you if you are doing high service and does not have plan for your life than to continue be their slave.
Things are done in unprofessional way because someone knows someone. What would you suggest this fellow do.

I need your advice felas,I was given. admission last year for a course I would love to change now, is it possible to use the same payment for previous application to apply for another course now or pay another #5000 to re-enrol. Thanks

Hello everyone, I started working in a top company but along the line I got an offer to work as volunteer abroad for one year in an international development org, my current job and the volunteer pays almost the same, like 100 USD difference(not much). My concern is the job I have now is more stable and secured as after probation I will continue as a permanent employee,while the volunteer role is for just one year,after that I need to start searching for job all over again. But the international appeal of the volunteering is getting me confused to think twice. Please guys your matured advice is highly needed.

If your carrier is important to you then go for the volunteer job, also having 3month work experience in United Nations is different from having 10 years in one local company that is unknown by many.

For those interested in openings around the country on fresh vacancies, please drop your contact or add me on 08107823255

I need one ergonomic office chair with adjustable lock, also if you can get all-in-one personal computer with upto 5hrs backup battery and with neat case. my number is 08107823255

Toxic people defy logic. Some are blissfully unaware of the negative impact that they have on those around them, and others seem to derive satisfaction from creating chaos and pushing other people’s buttons.

As important as it is to learn how to deal with different kinds of people, truly toxic people will never be worth your time and energy—and they take a lot of each. Toxic people create unnecessary complexity, strife, and, worst of all, stress.

“People inspire you, or they drain you—pick them wisely.” – Hans F. Hansen
Recent research from Friedrich Schiller University in Germany shows just how serious toxic people are. They found that exposure to stimuli that cause strong negative emotions—the same kind of exposure you get when dealing with toxic people—caused subjects’ brains to have a massive stress response. Whether it's negativity, cruelty, the victim syndrome, or just plain craziness, toxic people drive your brain into a stressed-out state that should be avoided at all costs.

Studies have long shown that stress can have a lasting, negative impact on the brain. Exposure to even a few days of stress compromises the effectiveness of neurons in the hippocampus, an important brain area responsible for reasoning and memory. Weeks of stress cause reversible damage to brain cells, and months of stress can permanently destroy them. Toxic people don’t just make you miserable—they’re really hard on your brain.

The ability to manage your emotions and remain calm under pressure has a direct link to your performance. TalentSmart has conducted research with more than a million people, and we’ve found that 90% of top performers are skilled at managing their emotions in times of stress in order to remain calm and in control. One of their greatest gifts is the ability to identify toxic people and keep them at bay.

It’s often said that you’re the product of the five people you spend the most time with. If you allow even one of those five people to be toxic, you’ll soon find out how capable he or she is of holding you back.

You can’t hope to distance yourself from toxic people until you first know who they are. The trick is to separate those who are annoying or simply difficult from those who are truly toxic. What follows are ten types of toxic drainers that you should stay away from at all costs so that you don’t become one yourself.

The Gossip
“Great minds discuss ideas, average ones discuss events, and small minds discuss people.” – Eleanor Roosevelt

Gossipers derive pleasure from other people’s misfortunes. It might be fun to peer into somebody else’s personal or professional faux pas at first, but over time, it gets tiring, makes you feel gross, and hurts other people. There are too many positives out there and too much to learn from interesting people to waste your time talking about the misfortune of others.

The Temperamental
Some people have absolutely no control over their emotions. They will lash out at you and project their feelings onto you, all the while thinking that you’re the one causing their malaise. Temperamental people are tough to dump from your life because their lack of control over their emotions makes you feel bad for them. When push comes to shove though, temperamental people will use you as their emotional toilet and should be avoided at all costs.

The Victim
Victims are tough to identify because you initially empathize with their problems. But as time passes, you begin to realize that their “time of need” is all the time. Victims actively push away any personal responsibility by making every speed bump they encounter into an uncrossable mountain. They don’t see tough times as opportunities to learn and grow from; instead, they see them as an out. There’s an old saying: “Pain is inevitable but suffering is optional.” It perfectly captures the toxicity of the victim, who chooses to suffer every time.

The Self-Absorbed
Self-absorbed people bring you down through the impassionate distance they maintain from other people. You can usually tell when you’re hanging around self-absorbed people because you start to feel completely alone. This happens because as far as they’re concerned, there’s no point in having a real connection between them and anyone else. You’re merely a tool used to build their self-esteem.

The Envious
To envious people, the grass is always greener somewhere else. Even when something great happens to envious people, they don’t derive any satisfaction from it. This is because they measure their fortune against the world’s when they should be deriving their satisfaction from within. And let’s face it, there’s always someone out there who’s doing better if you look hard enough. Spending too much time around envious people is dangerous because they teach you to trivialize your own accomplishments.

The Manipulator
Manipulators suck time and energy out of your life under the façade of friendship. They can be tricky to deal with because they treat you like a friend. They know what you like, what makes you happy, and what you think is funny, but the difference is that they use this information as part of a hidden agenda. Manipulators always want something from you, and if you look back on your relationships with them, it’s all take, take, take, with little or no giving. They’ll do anything to win you over just so they can work you over.

The Dementor
In J. K. Rowling’s “Harry Potter” series, Dementors are evil creatures that suck people’s souls out of their bodies, leaving them merely as shells of humans. Whenever a Dementor enters the room, it goes dark, people get cold, and they begin to recall their worst memories. Rowling said that she developed the concept for Dementors based on highly negative people—the kind of people who have the ability to walk into a room and instantly suck the life out of it.

Dementors suck the life out of the room by imposing their negativity and pessimism upon everyone they encounter. Their viewpoints are always glass half empty, and they can inject fear and concern into even the most benign situations. A Notre Dame University study found that students assigned to roommates who thought negatively were far more likely to develop negative thinking and even depression themselves.

The Twisted
There are certain toxic people who have bad intentions, deriving deep satisfaction from the pain and misery of others. They are either out to hurt you, to make you feel bad, or to get something from you; otherwise, they have no interest in you. The only good thing about this type is that you can spot their intentions quickly, which makes it that much faster to get them out of your life.

The Judgmental
Judgmental people are quick to tell you exactly what is and isn’t cool. They have a way of taking the thing you’re most passionate about and making you feel terrible about it. Instead of appreciating and learning from people who are different from them, judgmental people look down on others. Judgmental people stifle your desire to be a passionate, expressive person, so you’re best off cutting them out and being yourself.

The Arrogant
Arrogant people are a waste of your time because they see everything you do as a personal challenge. Arrogance is false confidence, and it always masks major insecurities. A University of Akron study found that arrogance is correlated with a slew of problems in the workplace. Arrogant people tend to be lower performers, more disagreeable, and have more cognitive problems than the average person.

How to Protect Yourself Once You Spot ‘Em
Toxic people drive you crazy because their behaviour is so irrational. Make no mistake about it—their behaviour truly goes against reason, so why do you allow yourself to respond to them emotionally and get sucked into the mix?

The more irrational and off-base someone is, the easier it should be for you to remove yourself from their traps. Quit trying to beat them at their own game. Distance yourself from them emotionally, and approach your interactions with them like they’re a science project (or you’re their shrink if you prefer that analogy). You don’t need to respond to the emotional chaos—only the facts.

Maintaining an emotional distance requires awareness. You can’t stop someone from pushing your buttons if you don’t recognize when it’s happening. Sometimes you’ll find yourself in situations where you’ll need to regroup and choose the best way forward. This is fine, and you shouldn’t be afraid to buy yourself some time to do so.

Most people feel as though because they work or live with someone, they have no way to control the chaos. This couldn’t be further from the truth. Once you’ve identified a toxic person, you’ll begin to find their behavior more predictable and easier to understand. This will equip you to think rationally about when and where you have to put up with them and when and where you don’t. You can establish boundaries, but you’ll have to do so consciously and proactively. If you let things happen naturally, you’re bound to find yourself constantly embroiled in difficult conversations. If you set boundaries and decide when and where you’ll engage a difficult person, you can control much of the chaos. The only trick is to stick to your guns and keep boundaries in place when the person tries to cross them, which they will.

Have you bumped into any of these types of toxic people? Please share your thoughts in the comments section below as I learn just as much from you as you do from me.
