Signed oaths to do what? The principal oath he signed was the oath to defend the Nigerian constitution and act within it's legal framework. And his allegiance first and foremost, should be to Nigeria and not a group of *powerful persons who made him president*.

Forget stories. If you no wan work, you no wan work, period.

The position I held wasn't by promotion, but by appointment, and some persons lobbied to put me there. The same persons asked for favours which I felt ran contrary to my principles and I declined. Heaven did not fall!

We can't keep making flimsy excuses for our failures abeg.

Reconstruction we all desire, yes, but I don't believe it is the panacea to fixing our endless range of problems.

Look at it this way, even when we reconstruct, those who are going to oversee the affairs of the state aren't going to be brought in from Mars, na still we naija people, and the average Nigerian seem to have this nearly uncontrollable urge to steal from the public purse when given the opportunity.

I could recollect what happened a couple of years ago, I think 2015, when we were rooting for Baba. One of the nairalanders here with whom i interact offline and who knows the nature of my work, told me something that took me aback, but i never made him/her know how i felt about his/her opinion. I work in an office where the fate of many lies in my hands and it is a place where people are constantly seeking to cut corners, and i sit right in the centre of where everyone passes through and where the OK sign is given. Women came with their bodies, men came with their monies, I could have it all!

But you know what, I did none of that and I could beat my chest anywhere I go and challenge anyone who thinks otherwise to come forward with their evidence.

It was very simply to be honest and incorruptible.

So this Nairaland friend of mine, who also was a fervent Buharist, advised I should shun all that righteousness bullshit and help myself. That me alone can't change the narrative of corruption in the country. So I wondered to myself, why would someone who's such a hardcore Buharist be advising that I engage in such? I just couldnt get it.

Now, I don't know the reason why others support Buhari as much as they did or still do, but I did for one reason ESPECIALLY- his staunch anticorruption standing!

Now, the reason why I wouldn't buy the argument no president can change the narrative is because all it takes to change that narrative is to disincentivise corruption by severely punishing errant appointees! Dem no dey tell blind man say rain dey fall bros.

In addition, if yourself, your friends, brothers and sisters, myself, etc, chose to, in our little ways (just like I explained I've been doing) choose to lead honest and corruptophobic lives, the system itself would reflect our individual attributes.

We are the problem, not the system.

I don tire jor. Stealing everywhere. Smh.

It is not about politics or any such mundane stuffs, I just HATE anything corruption. It kills a nation faster than anything else.

Olalekank:
You’ve asked this same question like 2 times in two weeks. Someone answered your question and you seemed to be satisfied with it.
If you want to start coding, you get to business and start writing code.

To answer your questions though
1. I wouldn’t say coding is hard. It depends on how you look at it. You would get frustrated from time to time.

2. I wouldn’t say “good”. Getting comfortable to be able to build projects using code should take between 1 and 6 months depending on how consistent you are.

3. What are the things you need? Budget like $10 for an introductory course for a start, a laptop, quality internet (and maybe food lol)

4. Online. You don’t have to meet anyone to learn or go to any “school”.

5. Lol

6. Are you sure of being employed? Yes. If you’re good enough

7. It’s never too late

8. Frontend and Backend development.
- Start with HTML and CSS. Go to dribbble.com and implement as many designs as you can using HTML and CSS. W3schools is a good starting point

- Learn about responsive web design using Flex and/or Grid, MediaQueries. Work on more projects from dribbble. Clone your favorite websites and make them responsive.
Please tell me Nairaland is not one of your favorite website

You can spend 1 & 1/2 month on the above

- Dive into JavaScript. Ensure to understand the intricacies

- Learn about the DOM. Work on projects that involve you “manipulating the DOM”. Learn about APIs and try calling in some endpoints in your code

Spend like 2 months (or a time up until you’re very comfortable with JavaScript ) on the above and ensure to be consistent

- Choose a Frontend framework like React/Vue. Understand it deeply and try to work on a couple of projects using your preferred framework. Try your legs in Redux (if you go with React), read about structuring projects properly. Read and read code on Github

At this point, you should be comfortable enough to land your first role as a Frontend developer

- With knowledge of JavaScript, you can pick up NodeJs/Express for the backend. When you get to this point, just Google what you need to know as a backend node developer. You would know better what to select.


Some things I would like you to note along the line:
- It is tempting to pick up Bootstrap once you start learning CSS. Don’t. It’s not advisable

- When you are learning JS, you might want to learn JQuery (which is now regarded as uncool) or React after a while. Don’t. Ensure to have a solid knowledge of JavaScript until you dive into a Framework

- You might be tempted to jump from language to language or framework to framework as a result of hype, Job posting, or anything. Don’t. Wait, learn one thing and stick with it until you are a master at it

- Read about git, understand its use and start pushing your code to GitHub from day 1

Wishing you the best in your tech journey

Congratulations to Real Madrid, VAR and REF...
They all deserved the trophy

It's even better they won it so Barcelona can reinforce instead of acting like all is well...

Forca Barca....!! Let's do this again next season

haiti007:
From the way the interior look, it's most likely a private school. Those people gat do something to make hands meet

ThatFairGuy:
This is incredible.
I trust Gov Zulum, he's not a vegetable. He'll respond Accordingly.

Meanwhile,
God bless Gov Babajide Sanwolu of Lagos
Gov/Prof Babagana Zulum of Bornu
Gov/Engineer Dave "Omoluabi" Umahi of Ebonyi State.
God will continue to bless that UNSONG HERO, The Trail blazer, The ARCHITECT OF THE NEW OSUN, The Hon. Min. For Interior, Ogbeni Abdu-r-rauf Adesoji Aregbesola (Oranmiyan 1).

chatinent:
Is this the so-called hope for the 'leaders of tomorrow'? The government is lifeless and incompetent to the core. Who should I blame? No one! I realized long ago that man's government can never solve man's problems. Just take a look: chickens now go to school!

SmartProf:
Nice achievement...keep breaking limits. Hopefully you'll inspire youthful females up North. The lady looks effortlessly beautiful

Hezzyluv:
Barca has succeeded

Na only Barca tear my ticket of 120k last week. I played over 2.6, and barca won 1-0

Angelfrost:
This consistent and frustrating benching of Ighalo, even after going 2 goals up in over 80 minutes... What's the plan Olé??! What gives??! The guy offend you??!

Well, maybe he will start on Sunday!!!
