Programming / Why Do You Blog? by Fongido(m): 7:30pm On Mar 08, 2018
Blogging

Why do you blog?

I've heard stories of some people getting frustrated and quit blogging.
I've seen dead blogs all over the internet.

Some people always get it wrong when it comes to blogging.
Most, their primary purpose of blogging is to make money which should be secondary.
If money is why you come into blogging it'll turn you into a twisted being.

What is Blogging?

A blog is a channel where you share your thoughts. Think of it as a public journal, diary, or even book. You can share personal thoughts, quick updates, or even educate others on what you learned.

Blogging is just like buying a jotter, diary or book to write about something that interests you. Do you expect to get paid for that? The only difference is you'll share it on internet, and that's a huge advantage to you, why?
It is a great tool for networking.
Because it is a great way to get feedback from others. In which people can leave comments and give you advice.”
If you do it right – a blog can be a tool to drive serious change, build yourself as an authority or build a community of like-minded people to connect with.
A blog is also a good reason to learn more about your industry. As you are always looking for new angles to write about you read more and when you’re writing you research more about the topic. So it’s a fantastic education tool.

How should you blog?
Rule 1 : Don't do it for money
Rule 2 : Let it be what you love

Choose a niche you have passion for.
Is it food, health, fitness, inspiration, technology, education, news, stories etc

Make sure your niche (what you want to blog about) is what you have passion for. Believe me you'll enjoy it and won't even feel any pressure.

Don't choose a niche because it fetches a lot of traffic like news, music etc blog.
No if you do it well the traffic and the money will come naturally.

Case Study :
Mark Zuckerberg

Mark sole aim was to connect the world.
Mark rejected many offers to buy facebook bcoz it didn't do it for money. The purpose was to connect people. His dreams and aim has nothing to do with money. He was glad to be a reason behind connecting people.
The biggest offer to buy facebook was yahoo one billion dollar offer. It was too good to be rejected and facebook then had a gloomy future.
Mark was bold enough to reject the offer. His team was disappointed and they left him. He didn't give up.
Today Mark Zuckerberg is 5th richest man in the world and the founder of yahoo is nowhere to be found.
Facebook is more valuable than yahoo.
That's what passion and selflessness can get you.
If Mark was selfish and he did it for money he wouldn't be what he is today.
He wanted to serve humanity. To make people able to connect with each other.

It's worth emulating. I have never seen a selfless effort not rewarded.

Take a look at Jeff Bezoz the founder of Amazon.
He left his well paying job to sell books on internet.
He said when he told his boss. His boss said that it is a good idea but it'll even be a better idea for someone who didn't have a good job.
He wanted to render a selfless service.
That's making it easier for one to sit home and order for whatever he or she wants without going down to shop.
He made the sacrifice and he's rewarded.
Today Jeff Bezoz is the richest man in the world.
We are making use of his idea today. That's why we have Jumia, Konga, Payporte etc.

With these examples you can see the need of providing selfless service to humanity.
You can't tell how you'll be rewarded.
Make good use of your talent and change the world in your own way.
Cheers.

Damn bro! I thought I was the one that typed this. It was something I grasped easily then but due to setbacks, it now seems like a dream that's unable to materialize. Sometimes, having mentors or counsellors who would notice your skill and help you develop matters.
I'm gonna feel empty if I don't give it a shot in this life.
I'm feeling empty already. I'm 22 and I still have time.
I wanna minimize the numbers of regret in my life when I am old. I'll surely go for it

I was going through my fb photo gallery and I stumbled on a picture. Immediately it took me down the memory lane. I was sad and disappointed.
Five years ago I set up this site out of curiosity. I wanted to know how website works. No one showed me what to do. I did the whole thing by myself.
Then I was crazy about computers and internet.
I was curious. I was hungry. Eager to learn almost everything. I would pay money to learn things.
I'd go the extra mile to get anything done.
When I'm stuck with an annoying bug, I don't sleep till I get it done.
Teach me one thing today, come back tomorrow I know 10 things.
It sets me apart from others.
I did magical things.
Many people aligned with me bcoz I was beneficial.
I had a purpose, if purpose is what Mark defined coz I was needed. I was happy.
The passion was just too strong. I was really in love with it.
I was useful to myself and the society.

Then I let everything slip away when I got admission. I wish it was Computer Science I went for, it could have helped me improve better but I went for something different entirely. I abandoned a God given talent to pursue shadow. I can't stop apologizing to God. I know he must be disappointed.
I feel guilty.

One day I was watching a movie with a friend. In that movie some people were in a room using computers to manipulate things. My friend was like see where Nelson would have been. He had no idea how that comment tortured me. The talent was too obvious.

Right now the whole thing is just coming back hunting me. I really regret it. It's my life greatest mistake.
I wish someone was able to persuade me enough to go for it.
I can't stop asking myself what would have happen had I developed myself in that field. I believe today I would have been a force to reckon with in the Tech World.
I started early. Who knows today I might have a brand to my name.

No matter how I pretend, I can't hide the fact that I screwed up so badly.
I'll stop at nothing to see myself back to the tech world.
I believe I have not lost. The talent is still there.
I'd be glad if I try and fail than not trying at all.
Good thing the field is open for everyone.
It's who wants it most.
Not compulsory to do computer science.
Great computer programmers today didn't do computer science. Majority are school dropouts. The likes of Bill Gates of Microsoft, Mark Zuckerberg - facebook, Larry Ellison - Oracle, Steve Jobs - Apple, even the current Google CEO, to mention a few. They don't have a computer science degree. But they have made impact in the field.
Your determination determines how far you'll go.
I'll be the most happiest person on earth if I can return to the tech world and make impact.

Romance / Is It Okay To Be 10 Years Older Than Your Wife? by Fongido(m): 7:43pm On Mar 02, 2018
Is it okay to be 10 years older than your wife?

I've been thinking about this.
Once a girl is up to 25-27 she's open for marriage and you know girls take this marriage of a thing seriously than boys do.

I think it's a tremendous waste of time dating a girl, you are 1-2 year older than or a girl that is your age mate. That's if what you guys share is authentic. It's okay if it's just for some benefits.
If it's something real. I think as a guy you'll get hurt along the way bcoz no girl gonna wait for you. No matter how much she loves you. The pressure will be more than her and she'll definitely succumb.
Before you reach that point in life that you have the financial power to dictate things, like you can say you wanna marry and you get it done, which I think it's when you're 30-33 year old if you are fast,.she might have been taken away from you.

I'm also Afraid it's dangerous to marry a woman you beat like 10 years bcoz you'll age faster than her and she might find you unattractive anymore which may lead to cheating on you.

Your thoughts on this guys.

Jobs/Vacancies / Re: Would Pass Or Lower Credit Affect Your Chances Of Getting The Job? by Fongido(m): 10:52am On Feb 28, 2018
Kunlexity:
I can relate to that. In most cases and in a situation where you apply for work with HND result, you will be asked to provide your OND result for vetting sake , knowing full well that you didn't just have HND, you must pass through OND before acquiring HND. So, the person's poor performance at ND level does not count, as the focus would be on HND certificate.
You haven't answered the question.
If the OND result is pass and HND is upper credit, the person is applying as HND holder, what would you do if you were the employer?

I understand every bit of the post so stop jumping to conclusion like a rhesus monkey. I stated my view not being direct about any result whether OND or HND.

Now if you would read this, go slow ok?
I STRESSED THAT THE ADDITIONAL QUALITY YOU HAVE TO THE CERTIFICATE CAN GIVE YOU AN EDGE OVER OTHER APPLICANTS CUM YOUR DEDICATION TO WORK IF YOU'RE OPPORTUNED THAT PRIVILEGE.

Hope it's now clear sir?
Yes sir. thanks. hope you are not offended and sorry if you are. Take care

your OND and HND results are two different certificate.

if you are searching for a job where they ask for HND what's the need carrying your OND when they are asking for your HND?.


But the OND must reflect on your CV and some employers may be curious to know what you graduated with.
don't you think he'll doubt you? OND pass and HND upper credit though you're applying as an HND holder.
the guy had pass in OND and currently in HND 2 he's upper credit student very strong one. he had a chance to make distinction bcoz he's determined this time but he wants upper credit for the fear of people thinking he bribed in his HND. distinction in HND will look somehow when you had pass in OND.
though at first he made a mistake and he has corrected it.

Bluntly, no! I don't support mediocrity but it all depends on the value you add to yourself and your working capacity (if you have the opportunity to showcase this before recruitment tho).
Get the question right first.
The person ain't applying as an OND holder but HND holder.
if he had pass in OND but upper credit in HND.
what would you do? assuming he's applying for as an HND holder.

Before you pay anybody anything, you must know exactly what you want. If you want simple CMS website like WordPress, it might take around 7 days. But if all you want is a custom web app like auction site, auto trading site, real estate site, hotel site, sites like AliExpress or Alibaba then you need more time depending on your trainer. I will advise you do your home work to know what you really want. However, if you are not sure call me and I will give you proper guidance and where to go for your exclusive training in;

Python Programming
PHP Programming
JavaScript Programming
HTML
CSS
SASS, LESS or STYLUS

It doesn't affect so long as you know what to do.
Know what to do how? someone said once you have HND your OND is irrelevant.
I tried explaining to the person that the OND won't be given much priority, that what the employer will give much priority to is the HND.
but he was still confused. saying the poor grade in OND is a big stain already that employers won't be confused much.
Jobs/Vacancies / Would Pass Or Lower Credit Affect Your Chances Of Getting The Job? by Fongido(m): 8:20am On Feb 28, 2018
I came across this question somewhere so I decided to share it here.

Question : If you have “Pass or Lower credit" in your OND. Maybe you made a mistake

Then your HND you made up for it by having “Distinction or Upper credit"

When applying for a job. Maybe during the interview your employer asks you what did you have in your OND you say “Pass or Lower credit" then he asks what did you have in your HND you say “Distinction or Upper credit" most especially Pass would that OND poor grade affect your chances of getting the job?

Assuming you're applying as an HND holder not OND holder.

How is this going to affect you in the labour market on a long run?
