out of curiosity -what is your background and why do you want to do this course --studying cloud computing should technically lead to a job with a hyperscaler (or in a datacenter as a DevOps engineer). Or in a support organization.

great post --so am contemplating buying an apartment in lekki -but to be honest the thought alone is giving me nightmares

agents are asking for 5% -yet they do not have a legal department,so am wondering how do they even know they are selling houses that have the right documents..

can you please list what it takes to buy an apartment in lekki/chevron --what documents should we be looking for and do we need a property lawyer

thanks

a simple search would have answered your question

Do they diversify their courses?

Like to include Cloud Computing and big data?

I think you should focus on CLOUD COMPUTING -->you would be introduced to DevOps -which is basically a cloud service, IoT and BigData is also a cloud computing module.

If you want to focus on remote learning then try udemy it seems cheaper and covers all the topics you mentioned

Note that for cloud computing you would cover topics like IAAS,SAAS,PAS and others

https://www.bmc.com/blogs/saas-vs-paas-vs-iaas-whats-the-difference-and-how-to-choose/

You should probably focus on one of the hyperscalers - AZURE,AWS or google. They all have foundational courses to start with.

You should note that Nigeria would probably see traction in the coming years in terms of datacenters and cloud usage. Right now south Africa is getting the new datacenters.

Hi Nlanders,

Please suggest I can PHYSICALLY learn Cyber Security, Cloud Computing, Big Data, DevOps and IoT in LAGOS MAINLAND.

CYBER SECURITY AND CLOUD COMPUTING are my Priorities, followed by the last three.

Your inputs will be appreciated.

this just goes to show how tough it is to live in Nigeria

I was averaging about 5k/day to fuel my generator and I even have solar at home.

I will suggest you get another side hustle to boost your income because I do not see 'girlfriend' expenses in your list..hmmmmm

You sound like my cousin -he called me up and asked where we should go for lunch one day, while my mind was dwelling on the fish served in farmcity (plus the distractions) my cousin mentioned eric kaiser. Now the name sounded a bit exotic to me and here I am thinking I was headed to a fine steak house but sadly it turned out be an overpriced cafe.

That in a nutshell describes my opinion of restaurants in lagos,abuja or ph -they are there for the 'nouveau riche' (not being insulting), and those instagram content chasers.

Veryfied:
Reverse is the case for me. I’m not interested in the hookup girls. All I’m after is to spend some money and have a great time.

Am just curious 'what was the outcome of the interview ' I decided not to conclude on her based on the interview outcome.'

from my personal experience it seems a lot of young graduates have high expectations(rightly so) -one actually told me that she wouldn't take a job that pays less than 300k/month.

EmekaStanley:
I hired a lady last week Monday and fired her on Friday same week. I concluded she was not ready yet.

This lady came almost 2 hours late for interview without communicating her reason. If she was going to be late, she should inform the interviewer. Red flag.

I ignored that and decided to proceed with the interview. I decided not to conclude on her based on the interview outcome. I love giving people chances.

I offered her the job, she was excited. She was sent an offer letter which she accepted. On resumption date, this lady came late for work. First day at work. I was like 'Is this 24 year old lady innocently naïve or what?".

On Friday last week, this lady came to work by 10.55am. He work time is 8.00am, and she is an office admin. I was on my seat and sighted her walking in, I had to call her and told her to go back home, and that was it.

By the way, she lives like 15 minutes away from the office, and her route is always against traffic.

I wouldn't know when she resumed from Tuesday to Thursday because I came quite late on those days due to field engagements. When I resumed, I met her sleeping twice. After that, she abandoned her work and stepped out to answer a phone call for almost 1 hour.

My experience with this lady made me understand that a lot of people looking for work are not ready for/to work.

ES

you didnt put any restrictions --so easy to spend on a car or land

IyaTola:
If you were to spend 5m naira in 1hr, what will you buy?

I avoid those expensive restaurants in lagos .lol..I just wanna see those lovely ladies

Veryfied:
Been to 4 blackbell outlets in Lagos.
Only the one on Admiralty Lekki phase 1 sells Cocktails. The rest are basically restaurants.

a girl just sent me this list

wbar lounge
king fisher
hard rock cafe -->I guess this is still a popular place

Veryfied:
I was at the Autobiography tonight and it’s quite impressive I must say.

I might try Aways lounge in Badore if I can get the address.

Been to Hardrock Cafe before but not on a Monday.

Below is the view from the Autobiography’s rooftop pool.

--
I normally stay around VI/LEKKI but this time I decided to stay at my own house in badore, the traffic between badore and lekki meant that most of the girls I met in lekki were not interested in coming to badore so I decided to explore the local scene in badore/ajah.

Points to note -the girls are a lot cheaper in badore lol, and many seem to concentrate around away lounge which is only a few mins away from corporative villas and seaside estate.

https://ng.africabz.com/lagos/away-lounge-bar-271966

landmark center is actually a very good place to hangout at night ->checkout this guy's blog
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UcwsuYpUyyU

if you are going to rock lekki/vi just get a hotel for a few nights ->that eventually solved my problem.

just got back --

hard rock cafe seems to rock on mondays

I tried farm city but it was pretty quiet

badore --aways lounge

its been 2yrs since you initially posted this --haven't the prices changed

Bruh ---go farmcity..lol

Interesting movie --brought back memories of isale eko --

This might sound insensitive but if they had built great hospitals in Nigeria --maybe they would have got away with this.

Ijaya06:
I'll need 10 plates of this to be full 🌝. They still collect tax of $5. Con ask me for tips again

you know this is not true....even at o'hare airport $25 bucks would get a you a nice meal

I wonder how Tinubu would feel if he loses ----personally I hope the best man wins

Britishcoins:
Firstly, let me congratulate myself for purchasing a land in my ideal choice.
The purpose of this tread is to tell people that you can actually build ur own house with that ur little income u are getting daily. Just have determination.

I just bought land measuring approximately 1 full plot in Oyo Town..
I am a business young man.. It has always been my dream to build house in a descent estate not too far from my business location.
So luckily I got one virgin land just close to the major road.
The cost is 1.4 million naira, including lawyers and agent fees...
Moulding of blocks is presently ongoing and the fencing foundation will commence next week when the blocks will be dried enough.
Below are the image of the site and work on going..

congrats ---building a house is a lifetime investment and the rewards would be visible soon....

let's pray for their speedy recovery

masterflowx:
Come to Badore, Ajah axis your eyes will see shege. Aside that, any of my sister that move to Lekki Ajah axis will be counted as minus one in my family the moment she move here. If you have a girlfriend that is coming to this axis, if anything will make her to spend more than a week please my brother move on. Because "nkan ti baje" (things don spoil).

lol..is badore as bad as ikeja

this is an interesting topic -especially for folks living in Nigeria and elsewhere who plan to retire in Nigeria.

from my experience you need to start early -and get a house ,this just makes life so much pleasurable and easier,paying rent as a pensioner is not the best way to enjoy retirement.

once a retirement home is out of the way then you need to keep some money in some form of retirement plan (or just save it) -to the actual question -based on my analysis you would need to detail the essentials and put a price tag against each -every item imaginable should be included -medical bills should not be overlooked.

food
bills
clothing
entertainment (the occasional visit to joints or bars,)
drinks -alcohol etc

water
family expenses
travel (occasional holidays)
transportation (probably public,uber or personal car)
car maintenance
home maintenance
health care -or health insurance
vitamins
drugs --some people would need some

I guess the list might seem daunting,but it is better to include every essential item -if you are lucky to have a foreign pension then I would expect that $1000 dollars a month should be fine -but I know this would not be the case for many people.
As Africans we can expect some assistance from children -but I wouldn't want to burden them.

kinda impressed with that guy -hope his fans realize the importance of healthy eating.

Mike Tyson’s net worth, once upon a time, was $300 million dollars. After splashing the cash, and suffering from the consequences of some of his actions;

Mike Tyson’s net worth is now only $3 million.

Still richer than a lot of guys.

They just killed a Nigerian woman in SA and now this one has been caught - what will be her fate - there must be something crazy about our mindset that we prefer to break the law no matter what.

When they deny people visas we complain - but when most of these guys get the visas they mostly abuse it.

I hope they just send her to prison and not shoot her in the head - Chinese justice.

chemgee:
"By 2040, electric vehicles could displace much as 6.4 million barrels a day of demand, while fuel efficiency improvements will erase another 7.5 million barrels a day, according to BloombergNEF’s May 2018 long-term EV outlook

expect this trend to accelerate: bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

6.4M barrels a day by 2040 is a drop in the ocean (In 2018, it is expected to increase to approximately 99 million barrels per day) -think about what the demand would be like in 2040 -with increased industrialization,increase in population growth etc.

I would not bank on electric cars there are just too many vested interests for it to take over the world.

But to your point -there would certainly be a huge demand for electric cars -but they need to be affordable and also powerful.

erico2k2:
Are you serious about Hybrid cars?I take it you have not seen the BMW,Audi,Merc and Range rover hybrids hence you are talking like this.
The Tesla is getting cheaper, way cheaper, we even have Nissan Leaf which is very cheap

You are right -there are more models to choose from and the volumes are increasing --but, not to the extend of threatening the dominance of petrol cars, especially in the US which has a very robust motor market.

https://qz.com/1029464/what-percent-of-us-car-sales-are-hybrids/


We know china is pushing hard and it would be interesting to see how that plays out ,at the moment it is still only 4% of the total market.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_car_use_by_country



But,what about the haulage industry,the manufacturing industries --these guys still need oil and it is evident in the amount of oil china is consuming daily (no wonder it is the largest importer of crude oil).

Fuckyoumod:
Dangote said he will sell refined oil to Nigerians at international price.

Now my question is where will the oil he will be refining come from?

Will Dangote import crude oil?

The world is awash with crude oil - the US alone is taking in billions and set to overtake SA as the largest exporter of oil.

Dangote’s refinery is a lifesaver for us and we should be greatful. For those who are talking about electric cars - please dream on. The world is not ready for them, Teslas are still very expensive and the hybrids lack the horsepower of challenge the non-hybrid cars.

And the appetite for refined products is still very high.

excellent body of work

These something great about our bravery - the Paris climber, the black man who saved multiple lives in the states by confronting a gunman.

It is a true blessing.

God will surely reward the Imam for his selfless sacrifice
