Programming › Re: Why You Hardly See Nigerians Teaching About Coding On Social Media. by JDJ4: 5:08pm On Dec 16, 2022 |
Devdevdev: You hardly see Nigerians teaching coding or talking about programming related stuff on on social media, especially on Youtube. This is because this is actually a legit way to be a successful person and it involves a lot of hard work, determination and consistence.
Nigerians only like to propagate get rich schemes and fraudulent stuff like plagiarizing books to post on Amazon or some rubbish Ponzi scheme. The common thread that links all these is that they don't involve much work and all you have to do is just do the little, then sit and wait for money to start pouring into your account. I admit there are a tiny minority of people who make money from these, but it's usually for a short period of time until it crashes or they get banned from Amazon, or get arrested, but the majority of people don't get shit, rather they jump from one get rich scheme to the other until they realize they've wasted their time.
Programming will never be saturated with competent programmers especially in this country because majority of people don't have the discipline and delligence to actually become competent programmers.
For the past month I've not been on social media. I deleted my Twitter, Facebook Tiktok, Instagram and vowed to never check status on WhatsApp because that's a very huge distraction. I only use Nairaland and Reddit, particularly for programming related information. I deleted every movie from my laptop and haven't watched TV for weeks.
How many people can do this? How many people can sit at a desk staring at a computer screen for 12+ hours everyday?
Nigerians are very lazy and are addicted to quick gratification and this works in the favor of programmers who are serious, because it reduces the competitiveness of the job market. Thanks for these wonderful writeup sir. I have been wanting to become a programmer but yet to find a person that can coach me. I have a window 10 i5 HP laptop that I don't even use, I bought it purposely for internet skills like this. Can u mentor me sir |

macbede: ELDER
Saturday,, August 6, 2022
I went to "family house" to reconnect with my neighbours and barb my hair. My barber didn't come in time though the salon was open as early as 8. Other barbers were already at work; but you know the thing with a black man, once he gets a good barber, it's for life (or so it seems at most).
Took a blunt (will quit smoking this year), ate breakfast with my old neighbours, then went to work.
Sunday,, August 7, 2022
Before church, I went down back to the mainland, to trim my beards as I couldn't do that the previous day. While I waited my turn, my neighbour of 22 years, Elder, (God rest his soul), came around.
All our adugbo Bro started teasing him amid heavy laughter (he was loved by all) "Elder your mama n papa don go morning mass, second mass go start laidis, you no dey go church?
"Elder: As I dey here so, holy spirit dey my body. I be temple laidis, make una no worry.
Immediately he set his eyes on me, he screamed in delight, asked about my family n promised not to leave me unless I do Sunday for him.
Since I have a policy of giving people only what I take ( I don't drink, plus he doesn't roll a joint), I opted to buy him anything else he wanted to eat.
Na so Elder carry me, enter "family house", from fried meats, to indomie to pepper soup, Elder had his fill. Though I didn't know when he took one Budweiser. He has a thing with drinks. He took one too many after that I guess. I left around evening.
Monday morning woke me up to a draw I won on sports betting that netted me 38k (Argentina Jnr vs Huracen), I went to work late though n dropped by at a warehouse close to my previous home later at noon.
At the warehouse, towards the side where they offload fridges, I saw my manchi, Bro Elder, with his Bongo White trousers n shoes with his worn out suit top. I just greet am dodge, so he doesn't bill me like the Sunday that just finished yesterday. He was saying something about people not remembering him to give him driving jobs. That it was only when we need something that we remember people.
This was around after 1to 2.
Finally got home around 11 pm. As I laid to rest after freshening up, my younger sister screamed from her phone that "brother, my friend say brother elder af die"
I was like how come,? Wetin you talk? It's a lie Are you sure? Who tell you? Wetin happen? ...
Elder died at Ojodu Berger, same day at about to 9 in the morning, from a truck that lost its brakes. About four people died on the spot.
He was literally mangled with his insides strewn over the road among the wreckage.
WITH THE SAME CLOTHES I SAW HIM IN DURING 1-2PM!!
Few days, before he was laid to rest, I had a very very vivid dream (if it's truly a dream),
He was angry, called me by my first name and said "Uchechukwu, I no happy. I dey vex". I was glad to see him while muttering "Bro Elder, no vex" till I woke up.
This world has another dimension than what our senses n science defines n shows us.
I dedicate this post to all who passed away painfully this year. This made me to remember my friend's death in 2014. Oh Chidosky may your soul continue to rest in peace. I remember the last moment I saw him, d day I was relocating to another state to find a greener pastures. I met him on the road and he was like " Edu na going be dis nah, when u go come back?" I never knew it was the moment I would see my good friend on this earth. Really this life is very mysterious, till today I can't still forget my friend, all the good memories we shared together still fresh in my memory. On that particular 2014 that I received a very ugly and sad call from my sister that my friend is gone. I ran mad in tears and even I'm still shedding tears as I'm typing this texts. I always see him in my dreams. My happiness is that the man that killed him has also kicked his own bucket. Continue to rest in peace my bossom friend |

I'm too soft and I don't like it. People are really taking the advantage of this to deal with me. I inherited this from my mother and I don't want my children to inherit it from me too. And also introvert. I'm just a damn quite type, I easily pity someone even though the person is treating me badly |
