don't mind them my bru they have very low self-esteem....in fact locally they are called the self-esteem brigade

IGpro1:
its just one or two, really?
If you knew the local govt, why not be specific.
Give their names and location.

I tackled you on the other thread you ran here to start misinforming people again.
Stop contributing to discussions you know nothing about,
No one rewards foolishness here.

Stop trying to make Nigeria look perfect in the eyes of other Africans when we have numerous problems to fix. It's not in our own interest to pretend as if we are the best. What he said concerning insecurity on our highways is nothing but the truth. Outside this, national grid collapsed on Sunday leaving many states without power even now; it's not as if we had power before now. At least 583 out of the 774 local government councils in Nigeria are still without electricity. No Nigerian town, we don't have a place qualified to be called a city in the first place, has pipe borne water supplied by the water board. Individuals provide water for their household uses and those who can't afford to do so pay fellow poor Nigerians from the north who walk far distance to fetch water for them or do so themselves. 80% of my fellow Nigerians still do open defecation, particularly in southwest.

Our education system is in shambles. Lecturers are on strike even as I type with students involving themselves in different types of legal and illegal businesses and adventures. Our internet connections are the worst in Africa not because of the number of users but the available broadband which is not enough for one state is spread across 36 states and the federal capital territory. Our life expectancy as Nigerians is among, if not exactly, the lowest in Africa. Reason the dream of every Nigerian is to leave his country and celebrates when he does so. If you are a Nigerian you probably don't live in Nigeria now, just like I am typing from Abidjan as a Nigerian. Every none Nigerian on this thread will certainly affirm that Nigerian migrants to his country are the largest among African countries. Should I write on the poverty rate in Nigeria, especially the north? Hell no! What of out of school children? Internally displaced persons? Beggars who dot the streets and entrances of major shopping and religious centres? Kidnapping spree? Banditry? Prostitution among our poor women? Sport betting as the only job for the ever-growing youths? Thuggery and touting? The list is endless.

Why I am not in anyway trying to demarket Nigeria as my country, it is better we stop trying to place ourselves where we don't belong as a nation. We are among the worst. War torn Somalia might be better than Nigeria of today. At least I've been to many other African countries and none of them live the miserable lives obtainable in Nigeria. Even the person that made comments of Kenyans being behind Nigeria in everything is either living abroad or living in Nigeria as a politician. Ghana, Cote d'Ivoire, Gambia, Kenya, South Africa, Tanzania, Angola, Cameroon, Gabon, Zambia, Rwanda, etc are far ahead of us. Their past in economy, education, life expectancy, mortality rate, vaccinations, security expertise, power, housing, road networks, internet connection, among others, is our future. A distant future at that.


Below is a typical school setting in my country.

naaahhh bru I think Nigeria needs Kenya more... I mean how many years now have Boko Haram basically controlled the North East of your country?

When last did you hear of kidnapping in Abuja-Kaduna road? Just recently there was heavy hold up for an entire day with so many cars there. If the road is still as dangerous as it was before, you wouldn't see that number of cars there. People use the Abuja Kaduna road all the time. Let us be guided.

Also, in this thread we lay things bare.If you read my posts and that of the likes of Obaderemi or theenchanter, you would also see our criticisms of Nigeria.

So I asked for people’s advice on going for a senior FE role in this topic https://www.nairaland.com/7349413/got-invited-senior-frontend-developer . So I went for it and thought it would be fair to give you all feedback. So I got there, 5 minutes before the asserted time. A cozy and beautiful environment. To cut the story short, I was given a laptop and was asked to open the technical assessment test session where I was asked to consume an API from an endpoint, which was restricted by CORS. Then build a table and spread informations from the database across it. The api was paginated, so I have to make it 10 number of users per page. Add a button to navigate through the pages. Add a working search input too. Easy pizzy right? 1hr 30mins was the time given. But unfortunately, they said the UI should be styled with Ant Design which I wasn’t familiar with. So I styled it with just Vanilla CSS. And then, I was later told it’s going to be fully on-site. Omo, that one off me small. But let’s see how it goes, maybe the pay may attract me, if they fortunately get back to me.
But thanks to y’all for the advice. I feel so fulfilled to go.

I have found that revisiting a problem works

If it gives you too much trouble, take a chill pill that moment and revisit later. Always works for me

In my last project , the social media app I built. I wanted to select the number of comments that a post has while getting the posts from the database at once using eager loading. I was able to implement it on my local machine using “sequelize.literal” method of the sequelize ORM , but when I deployed it , I was getting an error , “comment.postid not found”. I tried to fixed it , browsed through the whole pages on stackoverflow ( not really all the pages ) , yet no show. So I decided to leave out the feature. But I was loosing sleep over it. Think about it , while browsing through posts in a social media app, if a post has comments, users should see the number of comments, when they now click the posts, they can then see the comments.
So yesterday, I decided to give it one more shot. I found a blog post that suggested using “sequelize.fn” method. So I tried it, and the error was gone, I landed into another error, something in the line of “group by “ and “aggregate functions”. I had to go and read about aggregate functions. Long story short, I was able to get it to work, went and took a bottle of beer to congratulate myself.
So my question is, is it advisable to abandon a feature you want to implement or a whole project entirely because because something is not working ? Or do continue to search for the solution until you find it before moving to the next project?

Where did you get this from?? how.many roads in Nigeria is not safe? don't just spew shit from your anus.

Every country has inflow and outflow.. Kenya has many top brains from US working on its tech sector...they save and send back a lot of money...I have worked with many...who literally become millionaire in Kenya..wire money to US..buy homes.We receive remittance from US..we also send remittance to US.Unless you have net flows you're just being a Tanzania..a poster child of idiocy .At least Nigeria are messed up but rarely stupid like you

Hello.
I need an expert app developer to build a fintech app from scratch. The app should have an international market value of at least 10m dollars.

Will pay the developer 300k naira to commence the project and balance another 400k after completion and assessment.

Thanks
Pls let me know if interested.
Only experienced developers

The whole idea of building proper highways is to deal with insecurity and expense - otherwise if I want to ship my tea from Kericho to Abuja - I would have to now track or rail it 800kms to Mombasa...have it go round Africa to Lagos port...then all the way on road to Abuja.That is a month at best. But now if there was a road...I would just drive for 5,000kms...that is 5 days of driving...if I drive 1000kms every day...on good proper expressway...this should be vision of Africa...major highways and rail lines. In developed world - trucks are driven from london to germany...from Toronto to Los Angeles...4,000kms in 2-3 days - one should one day drive from Abuja to Nairobi in 2-3 days..

rvp20182:
Yes a good start - what needs to happen next - is to complete Trans-Africa highways.
Cairo to Capetown is mostly sorted.
Many others remain.

My biggest head ache now is getting vs code to run all these languages without complications. If you know a better IDE that can run all the languages without issues pls share.

Right now learning the languages isn't the issue, I have conquered basic Python, C++ and JavaScript no problem. I just want an IDE to be able to traverse them easily.

Sometime making game took time especially when making complete full game like fps and melee combat, in my next post I will be working on a game about what is going on in Nigeria I mean about saving life from the gbokos like hostages that have been capture I mean this game I will be using environment from naija scene to make it look more African scene very soon I will start and a sponsored will be required anybody can come in for that if you want to sponsored

Some months ago I decided to drop animations and go into programming, a path I've always admired. So far it hasn't been easy, first month was highly depressing, excruciatingly frustrating. I started with the Python language.

Now I have this insatiable hunger and need for more, I wanted to learn more languages even though I am still at my early stage with Python. So i decided to dive into more and now I am learning three more languages after Python, namely, JavaScript, C++, SQL. I plan on being proficient in all these languages by December.

Two biggest experiences I've had are:

1. Programming makes you more intelligent and persistent. You develop that attitude to always want to surmount or crack difficult problems, in real live.

2. Starting with one language makes it more, more easier to grasp the rest, maybe even all the others.

I think starting with python is a good idea, it is simple, is an OOP and also a Functional programming. With a lot of initial disappointments and plenty patience anybody can learn, just have plenty of DATA. Some people have made it seem as if learning programming is only for the biggest brains which isn't so. Make it a point to learn something each day and if you find any challenge drop the system for some time and do something else. Youtube and Google are good learning friends here.

My small start!

Am I the only who have observed this about most Indian YouTubers with web development tutorials?.
They'll just be typing code on their text editor as if they crammed it or they are copying from somewhere. No live server for their audience to be seeing the effect of each line of code on the webpage.

I don't know how others see it, but to me, it's a very bad way to teach someone. They'll finish writing the code under a selection before showing you how far the work has gone. They'll be like- padding, this, margin, that, width, this, height,that.lol

In the same way that oil boomed in the 19th century, tech jobs are booming today.

We're talking about a $4 trillion industry with over 50% growth expected between 2020 and 2025. And guess what? It's not just about coding. Tech jobs are everywhere—from software development to user experience design and project management.

This means there will be plenty of opportunities for people who want to start their career in this field.

But where do you start? What steps should you take? How do you get a job in tech?

Keep this thread active for answers to all these questions

Why dont you stop going to church - and speaking English - and come tell us how far you'll get it. English is superior to your Igbo. It's richer. It's deeper. It's better.

Speaking of Gazelle helicopters, does anyone have any info or update on the development of the NASENI made helicopter for the military?

Okay i am computer science student who wants to come up with a startup before i finish my university (i am 300 level).

My only income is from freerlncing, and u have programming skills.


I just want all the advise i can get in bringing my startup to life from experts here.

This post is all about my programming journey. I am just a young fella without a CS degree who wants to work at Google. This sounds crazy? Yeah. But, Wait-Danny Thompson worked at Google without a CS degree, maybe I am not being unrealistic then. Oh! I forgot, Danny Thompson is an American......

I will be documenting my journey to becoming a potential world-class web developer. I hope to finally get to work at Google at the end of this thread no matter how long....

I believe in the mantra- " Aim for the moon, if you miss it, you might hit a star".

I will be glad if the programming gurus in the house can be part of my history. Advise and encouragements and even scathing criticisms are allowed.
