Good evening to everyone, please I'm here to seek advice for my kid brother. He said he wants to go into I.T (Coding, Programming, Software developing, etc). But the thing is that he's a complete novice.

As a show of support for him, I bought him a laptop last month. Now, I'm here to seek for advice from our dear nairalanders on how to go about it. Where does he need to start from? Where can he acquire these skills? What are the career prospects of the I.T field. Please I'm here to seek advice and guidance because me too I'm a complete novice when it comes to stuff like this. He looks up to me and I don't want to mislead him. If you know anything or anyone that I can talk to, kindly advice. Thanks.

Interestingly, I like how you're still heading to my point- they didn't need a (CS) advanced degree to achieve those exploits in DS. They just had technical knowledge from their various studies.
Also, there are other existing related courses to DS like Econs, Stat and Maths. If they didn't further in these but in other non-science courses instead and still made it, that means a degree isn't a must.

On a lighter note, did you actually classify neural network as communications engineering?

To go far in Data Science, you need an advanced degree (Masters or PhD). Interestingly, all the Meta DS roles I've seen so far for the UK ask for a PhD in econ/stat/math etc. Most others ask for at least a Masters.
DS is extremely Stat-heavy. In my opinion, it is far better to do a masters in Statistics than in DS because I've noticed most DS Masters are still new and don't really have great math or stat component. They'll just teach you python/SQL/ML which you could learn on your own.
Beside DS is not really an entry level role; that's DA. Most DS have like 2/3 YOE in DA or something related or an advanced degree.

I don't like this ASUU chairman. Instead of tackling the message, he keeps tackling the individual. Tfinterviews asked him a question and he's talking about how people that fled the country shouldn't be invited to make contributions or so (53rd minute) because Toyin is in Houston, USA

Or is it how he threw out Rinu's statement of students' mental health because he hasn't been paid for 6 months? Like he won't be paid once they resume. Are his own children in public universities (if he has/they've come of age)?

ASUU National strike coordinating committee meets today by 7pm at ASUU secretariat.
After that chairpersons will be briefed for congresses May be by weekend or next week for voting.

No journalist knew what happened yesterday because ASUU needs to keep their negotiations secret to forestall any hijacking of agreements

These people and their night time meetings sef

Xvvava5xx:
Yoo!
If you don't close clients & make $ within a week, I'll send you 6k...

You sef don't want to be making $35-60 per day? Be editing tickets yourself na abi why do you want a measly 5k when you can make 60 dols which is like 39k naira a day

OK, thanks

ultrazone:
Please which are the best provinces for international students, regarding the ease of obtaining PR after studies?

BC has an international Post graduate pathway for graduates of natural and applied sciences (Masters or PhD). No job offer required. Check bc pnp page for more details. They have a pdf of eligible courses in eligible universities.

sinkhole:
NO, the truth is that outsiders do not know the outcome of the meeting and the journalists and bloggers have decided to go on free-for-all speculations.
ASUU is meeting to consider what FG has offered and there is still hope!

But according to Punch, a member of ASUU NEC said FG isn't serious. Osodeke said "the meeting wasn't good"
How much longer will this last oh Lord?

So the struggle is at an end at last.

Ihee01:
Thanks for this. So these were down by internet hackers? That is why I have been lamenting on it.
Fraudsters everywhere oh!

Internet hackers?

Ihee01:
Bros, my eye is deceiving me. Pls help me and check these numbers POSS2022... for PhD in Imo.
...25929
...12180
...28108 M or F name?
...22902
Convince me to see the reasons to waist my precious time and money to apply again, then take risk on the road for interview.

Those numbers don't exist in any ptdf list for Imo PhD (interview and award). All the winners in Imo are on the interview list. The first 2 on UK list got it and the first person on GFM and 3rd to last got it. So what else are you saying?
Seems your mind is made up to believe what you want. As for your earlier quote, I'm still an UG from the South East and I know my profile is already competitive for ptdf oss if I were to apply. That doesn't mean there might not/won't be people with better profiles than mine. Just 4 people got in and they're over 50 on the interview list for Imo. Let's be realistic with our expectations abeg. There are other less competitive and anxiety inducing scholarships out there. Find them and move on.

My dream is to be a first class graduate
2021 I got admission so time went by we did our first semester exam I checked my result then I saw a gpa of 3.15 I was really down but I said to my self that you can do better.i didn't let my first semester result weigh me down as I prepared really hard for my second semester. Just few days back results was out I was scared to death that my heart was beating fast but finally I saw a gpa of 4.11 so my Cgpa is 3.61 I don't know if I should be happy or not but I give glory to God
I really have to work hard for my 200l ..
Any talk or advice on this pls?

Keep up, don't relent. Don't mind school na scam sayers. Don't mind anybody that tells you first class is rubbish. If you can get it, get it. It's better to have it and not need it than otherwise.
You're lucky you get to see your results after each semester. Some schools won't even let you know where you stand till you enter the next level. Work smart. Before you know it, you'll be done and even if you didn't get the first class, you'll still have a high grade.

Devote the next 3/4/ years to improving yourself and you won't regret it. Sha don't bite off more than you can chew. Time management is key in everything. Take time to also chill and make useful friends. The friends you make form your network. Also befriend your coursemates/senior colleagues so you'll get tips from them on how to make things easier.

Ask questions and understand how your lecturers like their questions answered. Learn how to follow them. Some lecturers don't want you to think outside the box; just return what you were given. Some lecturers want to see the extra effort from you. Just find one senior colleague that's where you want to be and follow their footsteps.

Goodluck!

Ihee01:
Hahaha
Eye service

Oga rest with your 2.2 please. You're from the South East where competition is very thick and you think you stand a chance with 9 credits, 2.2 Bsc and 4.5 msc when there are people with distinctions in o level and first class in both degrees

Please let's take it as a learning experience and move on. This bitterness is unnecessary. If you think your claims are founded, there's nothing stopping you from posting on twitter and tagging ptdf handles and other "influencers" and activists. I'm sure more people will support your cause if what you're saying is true.

MyFlair:
Stop this your consistent lies. Most of us here know far more than you kid.
Adamu is not meeting with ASUU next week. And his meeting with the media won’t bring any good news .
Stop fooling around fool

Nawa. Why not state what you know instead of insulting somebody? Of what use is your "true" info if you keep it to yourself?

Let us not be sore losers please. Congratulate the winners in good faith and move on.

Please people with reliable insiders help us with LSS news

Thanks for the update.

Octave006:
Go and check. Am I vindicated or not period. Check even your application. Wallahi you will see that it has changed to award

Please do you have any info on the lss list?

Congrats to all the new awardees

Ajala101:
Okay sir... Though have got a poor maths background and have phobia for programming. I'm searching to see IT skills that are in demand in Canada that doesn't involve my weak areas. Thanks a lot for your input sir. I appreciate sir

There's nothing to be scared of in maths. Work on improving your skills and you'll be fine. There are also non IT roles in demand in canada. You'd have to do your research. Or you/your wife can switch to nursing if you like. I'm sure there's no country that'd reject nurses.

Zeekaycn:
I did not exempt myself from the trap, from the enquiry I recently made, help me with the little knowledge. We've been trapped with this notion that life is better outside, so we do everything to raise japa money. Until a sincere fellow help you with the whole true life story over there.

I'm still waiting to see better Nigerians who just came back from Overseas.

Come back to do what? When average people are being targeted by kidnappers, how much more the rich ones and the returnees? If you're so pained, you can go, educate yourself then proceed to give 20-40 years of your life and service back to Nigeria.

Come back to roam the streets with certificates abi?

Just when you think you've heard it all

Okay, thanks for the update

Sacramento85 and Sinkhole
By Tuesday, do you mean next week Tuesday (16th August 2022)?

Silentgroper:
U would knw cuz u prolly got one crazy fetish too.. I aint never met nobody that gets a boner 4rm viewing a woman's leg nt to talk of jerking off to it.,

Even in naija here, people are doing animals.

guobe:
crimson a leg that looks like this wearing shorts?

You still don't want to post the picture? This image you attached is showing a fat woman's leg. So basically, your issue is that a fat lady was wearing shorts. Na why you create thread make people cast her abi? Na so. Trying to feel better about yourself by mocking others.

Ajala101:
I don't know how to explain this. But I'll appreciate inputs and advise from fellow Nairalanders. Have been a guest for a while.
I intend starting the process before the years runs out( Cos I don't want to restock another set of birds after selling off my old layers by Dec). w

If you/your wife are willing to learn French (to boost your scores) you could try express entry. Though I don't know how your HBP could affect things. Or try Canada study visa. Your wife could apply for an undergraduate program in canada. If she's in year 2, I think she can transfer (not all unis will accept).
Canada is the most cost effective (and best option imo) for studying. Even cheaper if you go as a PR. Though EE takes a lot of time nowadays. The earlier the better. Start learning a relevant tech skill (data science, software engineering/development, Web development, cloud engineering etc) since you already have the educational background. You can decide to do a diploma/certificate or even a masters to help you transition well. It's best and way easier to make the move before kids come.

You could try France but the process isn't as straightforward as Canada's

Good luck
