How much is flight from Lagos to Abuja again?

Bros, it's better you arrange with your wife and arrange some 300k for your flight to Abuja every weekend or you talk to your boss about the new developments. There is a saying that you miss 100 percent of the shot you don't take.

I admire this your family sha.

One thing about work most people ignore is, you must be social. It doesn't matter if you are the best, if you don't interact with your colleagues well, they'll hate you, see you as proud. Talk to them, greet them, call them by their names not hello, hey etc. Argue with them, discuss non work issues with them.

Even if you are not the best fit for the job, when you do these they'll have your back.

Mrviktor:
FOR FUK SAKE.


Shebi euro's na next week.

We go see am crystal clear...

Dem go expose the fraud

Is this another Maguire?

Bros that's not up to 1000 USD a month when you add the whole 4 weeks o. I don't know if it's constant. But if those earnings are coming in naira then theres a lot to fear. The naira might be exchanging 1000 naira to a dollar and they are rumours of fuel price increasing to 380 naira per litre which will further increase inflation by at least 50 percent further. He should hold on. Naija get as e be.

I second this. Even if he's making 100k per week, he should hold on.

Nigeria in January is better than the Nigeria in June. The Nigeria in December might shock us all! We do not even know how Nigeria would be in 2022, things might be 10x worse.

If I were the fellow, I'll be thinking of securing a better country's citizenship.

10 years ago, people earning 100k - 300k were who we called the rich, now many won't even make middle class. In tens years time, that 80k per week might not cater for the guy and his family.

I'm still confused, though I ve my own home(house) and some land properties too.

My mum won't let me be , always talking about marriage often, can't even have a meaningful discussion with her again.
Before was being into a relationship, now I'm in a relationship... She start moving it to marriage.

Later she'll talk about a kid. Then she'll ask for a second and third one, she'll also insist on a fourth one.

No offense but your old woman is pushing you into poverty. You are still very young o. It is during this time of your life you can hustle and bustle, don't let marriage deprive you of it.

If you go into marriage now, there is a great chance that you may not be financially independent until in your 50s or 60s.

If I were you, I'd wait till my early - mid thirties before marriage.

Why exactly do young people rush into marriage?

You are setting up yourself for poverty. If you think 80k is big, think again!

You know the reporter in person?

Have you ever left the shores of Nigeria?

Nigerians and their attitude.

Alaye, are you okay? Are you the lady? What's your problem kwanu?!

It's called Stockholm Syndrome. Look it up.

This is just generalization. It's not true.

ebixy:
Real life as a candidate. The degree is like the first thing in the list of requirements. We are talking ratio here, don't cite a few examples here and use it to draw a conclusion.

Don't mislead upcoming programmers. The ratio of tech companies that require a degree for a job far outnumber the ones that don't care about your degree.

Toor!

That lady in the picture is not 26.

ebixy:
We are talking about programming in general not just web development or UI/UX.

Data Science, Machine Learning, Artificial intelligence, game development etc.

I'm not sure you can get a job in a serious company in those field above without a degree. In those fields, some even require an advanced degree (Msc, PhD). I can show you numerous samples.

Remember I said MANY, I didn't say ALL companies.

How did you know this? How many interviews have you attended as HR, Candidate or just an audience?

Bro, I'm talking real life here not some text book, movie or lecture scenario. All you need is to be good and have experience to work with any tech company in this world.

Even FAANG companies recruit college dropouts en mass every year.

ebixy:
Show me one company that doesn't require a degree for employment and I'd show you ten that require a degree.

Some companies go as far as requiring a STEM or numerate degree.

I've interviewed with 4 companies since last week and none has required a degree. One of these companies is on Lagos Island.

If you have degree, fine. If you don't, no problem.

STEM kwa? How would knowledge of STEM allow you center a div?

You people need to be calming down.

ebixy:
It is not the best decision to quit school to exclusively face programming. It is also true that anatomy as a course has little to no job prospects in Nigeria.

I strongly urge you to apply for admission next year for a STEM-based course. It will build your IQ and make you an even better programmer.
And mind you most companies still
require a degree for employment.

Wrong!

I'm guessing you are still below 30. Write the next jamb. Process your admission. You can put in for less demanding courses like all those core educational courses, they are less demanding. You can start reading a month to exam and still have A all through.

You are Nigerian o. Get your B. Sc or HND.

We don't have the privileges the whites have and things are even getting worse.

Also, if you can still accept this current admission. Do and change the course to something like Guidance and Counseling. You'd have your decent 2.1 and at the end of the 4 years be an employable programmer.

It is a government bribe to few individuals they made jobless in the first place.

Comment of the week.

These wouldn't stop you from getting burnt.

All you need is common sense and to follow your instincts. If these are your rules, then it's fine.


You are the sailor of your ship.

One thing is most payment API is that they have a success_url and failure_url to redirect to users after transactions. You could tap into that or you can redirect the user manually after successful or failed transactions. One thing you could do is use a try catch block. Inside the try block will be your success redirect url after successful payment and the failure redirect url will be in the catch block.

The government shouldn't allow this rubbish to continue.

Where he is going, won't he pay NEPA bill?

Lampard to Everton is next.

MrOkenwa:
I chose to be a doctor out of my passion to save lives.
I stayed while many of my colleagues were leave in droves.
I later realized that naija has nothing meaningful to offer me and my children, as a dedicated doc who loves to serve his country.
I succumbed to the pressure and I eventually japa.

Bros, there is nothing like passion in this country o.

If hunger and insecurity knack you, that passion go disappear.

motymop:
You wrote lot of jargons.

The average pay for copywriters is 10 dollars on fiverr.

Many doctors are doing better off than programmers here in Nigeria.

There are lot of means to earn cash.

Do you know how much they pay the average programmers in Nigeria? 50 -70k per month

You are so ignorant.

SegFault:
This rubbish comparisons are getting out of hand, they will drag shoulder with computer scientists, drag shoulder with software engineers now it is doctors, I don't see such rubbish questions or comparisons on Quora but of course it's Nigeria. Tufia.

Bro, what do you mean?

Martinez39s:
MBBS can never be useless. People who try to talk down on MBBS and make it seem like it's not successful enough or useful enough are either jealous and envious or they are just ignorant. Even the programming people keep hyping, what fraction of programmers are earning more than doctors or even one million per month?

You are on smart person, don't let emotion be cloud your judgment. Make your own research.

What these people are saying is true.


MBBS is not useless o. But I started pitying this country when I heard doctors now look for job. It wasn't like this when I was young.

Next time, open a piggyvest account.

I hear. Until you get into parser algorithms.

If you can learn it, a certain dedicated Amarachi from Abakaliki can.
