Truth is, NOUN is expensive o.... And it's not something you should undertake without financial support.

Learn the skill.. And later you can always take up the degree when you're financially stable. But make sure you save up some monies before stopping... Being broke can affect determination

dawnomike:
Learn the auto mechanic skill... 30k will become ridiculous compared to what you can be making by the type you set up your skill

Kimiso:
bro,..go and learn a skill

I have usually heard of companies scamming devs by getting free work out of them with take-home tests but I absolutely would have never believed something like that would have happened to me.

One of the companies I applied to sent me a take-home test. The test was kinda hard with some really complex designs I had to use on Figma. I was given two weeks to submit and I finished like 3 days before the deadline and turned it in.

The next day I got a generic rejection mail saying they moved on with other candidates. However, I was sent a Github repo I had to push my changes to. I got kicked out of it and they kept the code. No reviews, nothing just a generic rejection mail.

I know I have been had. It was so annoying cause I spent extra time after work doing that test, making sure the given design was pixel-perfect, and writing unit tests. Lessons learned. No more take-homes, as much as people despise hackkerank and codility screens they are so much better than these take-homes.

Shine your eyes before doing take homes o. If the design is too professional and looks like something that can be part of a larger application or sold as one, avoid it o.

I hope others use my experience to learn. Too many scammers out there nowadays.

Congrats bro

Congrats once again

Still needed

Definitely bro,I still know some graduates looking for jobs up and down with their "overrated" Bsc degree..

The world is going digital, imagine a website designer charging $5k for a job that won't take him more than 4 days while a Bsc holder in Nigeria here is looking for a monthly job of 70,80k

I told my younger cousin after graduation that he should go learn SEO, Copywriting & Video editing....Today, he's a millionaire earning nothing less than 2 million naira monthly

Even guys that flip domain on the business section here in Nairaland make thousands of dollars weekly/monthly...

What's your point?

This is a reality in enugu. The stats is the real reflection of what's obtainable in that state.

Dude I don't know about you, but as for me I take every news I read with a pinch of salt cause I have an open mind to know that it could be inconsistent or wrong.

Poverty in enugu is comparable to the poverty in Northern Nigeria. This is something for you guys to worry about in that backward state

leicestercamper:
You are totally correct. Enugu is a poor state, its residents are poor, so such upscale estates cannot thrive there. Even the civil servants in enugu are poorly paid

Chummynoni:
Why would economics be under faculty of social science? Everything is wrong about this school/result.

OP or ReventifyCV

You are a liar and a dangerous person.
Remove Software engineering from that your mumu list. All engineering disciplines require accademic qualifications. Anyone found to be to be practising engineering functions without the necessary qualifications can and will be jailed..

Only Folorunsho Alakija will buy all those mushroom companies.

Yoruba dominate everywhere from banking, industries, Tech companies, Retail Industry (Shop Rite), Oil companies, IT companies, Entertainment industry (both Nolywood and Music), Education Industry, Religious Industry, Real Estate Industry, and etc.

Mike Adenuga alone will swallow all those nonsense mushroom Igbo companies.

Before you come and start listing Ikwerre people name as banking sector, remember Ikwerre have told you consistently they are not YEEBOS.

2by2 Yeebos don suffer.

FanOfMyself:
He is software developer.
I'm also a software developer and I have two jobs which are both remote. Both companies are in Lagos while I am in Abuja trying to secure another one with a company in the USA through their Nigerian partner who are training us. Though one of the two companies are kinda shaking but I am still their employee.
Bottom line is for you to learn any IT related skills as it's the new gold mine.
