I will not reply you again, but for the sake of readers, pick your dictionary and look for the meaning of the word "industralization". Then, check the period Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

Again, learn to read and interprete well. The subject is that we are in the industrialization age and any nation whether poor or rich can be.

I see that it is hard for you to add economics to your career programming. This is just an example of why programmers fail. Rather than sit back and understand what is going on, they think they know it all. But all na wash and zero. Oga keep showing your ignorance trying to prove you know it. Anyway, you arent a technician that his hands can be chopped off. I trust engineers, they dont argue. They listen fast, else, they are getting electrocuted or amputated. But it's you and your google alone. Lol. Keep arguing.

Guys, let's move on. This one just want to prove he is knowledgeable but he is an empty barrel.

He even called me Mr Programmer. Does this one understand his right from his left. OK he only wants to cause confusion and derail the thread. Let's ignore stupidity and move ahead. We are leaving ignorancy and "I too Know" behind.

Can you give you contact for further talks

PeaceJoyLove:
Oh! I just noticed this. It is like you want to come here to oppose me. Very interesting. Anyway, go and research the period Franklin Delano Roosevelt ruled and get wisdom. If you want to know industrialization, look at the period.

Let me advise you, do not come to attack me if you dont want to injure yourself. You are a kid trying to get into life in programming. I am way ahead with years of experience both home in Naija and abroad. So, before you make further comments on my thread, think deep and know that the author of this thread is a sound researcher. Kids always want to prove they know whereas theybare empty barrels making the loudest noise. You better learn how to address people politely. That this is a faceless forum does not stop me from trashing you. I will trash you with words if you dont mind how you attack me personally. Do you hear me. Mr. "I too Know". I didnt even see this useless comment of yours.. I shouldn't have replied you this morning. Rubbish!

Listen, I talk from experience. I used to be a programmer too, but my level don pass sitting down to code at a corner of my room. Mind your utterance.

My Job is to tweak your brain to start thinking in the right direction
While I appreciate majority of programmers getting into fiverr and other sites to get jobs, I believe you need to start repositioning yourselves for bigger roles. And I'll show you why and how.

Sure, you need to feed yourself and get life going, remember, Mr President said there is no job the Federal Government is providing. Gush! I still don't get it why Mr. President will come out so direct and say such, but it is the truth (The president does not know how to speak with wisdom). Furthermore, he said that FG cannot help you if you continue destroying what they are building. Well, I agree with Buhari in a sense, but he could do better. OK, let me help you here to explain what the old man wanted to say:

Government should be in the business of creating the right atmosphere for businesses to start and grow, and not creating jobs directly.

You heard me right. Lol. If you want to really understand my point, create a thread and ask Nigerians which job should you keep: Government jobs or Private companies jobs. Then, push it to the front page. You and I know the answers already. But listen to me, if the private sector is not attractive and secured enough for people to work, the economy of the nation will suffer. Government jobs are the last alternatives jobs we should consider except in public policy offices. When government pays more than the private sector as the case is in Nigeria, there is trouble. This is why the pressure is too much on the president and the governors to create jobs.

How do they create jobs out of nothing? Therefore, the structure must be there. Government should not be in the business of creating jobs, but in the business of creating good atmosphere for businesses to prosper. And this is where we are heading to presently in Nigeria. I really want to open your eyes why programmers should start thinking of tapping into these opportunities. I appreciate the small dollars you make from Fiverr or other remote jobs you get, but you can do better.

Take the Risk
Guys and ladies, take the risk. Fine, you have a contract job which is keeping you going,this is great. Instead of getting more contract jobs, look into the bigger picture and see if you can start something of your own. There are two approaches:

1. You work for peanuts here and there, and you continue doing this for the rest of your life.

2. You work for peanuts here, and you try doing something huge there. Of course, the chances of startups being successful is low, but it shouldn't stop you from trying. You have just pivoted yourself above option 1 above. And you have repositioned yourself. What you cannot remove from this is the experience you have gained. And by the way, option 1 will not make you more comfortable than option 2. You are still on the same level financially. My point is that while keeping your "hustling contracting" jobs, get into the bigger picture by taking the bigger risk.

So, we will talk about the structure Government is putting place you can tap from in my next post. These points I am making should start making you to think bigger and more positively.

This guy dey throw me snide remarks sha.

I said I find you and your thread annoying and that's it and that fact doesn't make me unsuccessful, only a petty fellow would think that way.

Big lies bro ...power through diesel is even cheaper than NEPA

mrvitalis:
Power is not the reason they can't compete in the international market ...how much is noodles in USA and European Union ...yet we import the materials they produce their own power and still it's very cheap

Raw materials are the main reason production is expensive not power ... Diesel is very cheap n can give u very cheap power ...it would cost u less than $100 to fuel 500kva generate for a day ...that's less than $3000 a month for power where in the world can u get it that cheap ..0.5MW ? Please

mrvitalis:
I have a factory I have never been connected to nepa and don't intend to ..power is less than 2% my cost of production

Arkmanbuddy:
Industrialization on power generation of less than 10GW? Are you serious? Why do we love treating a tree from it's leaves? If we continue to shy away from key issues holding us back in producing what we need, we'll keep moving in circles.

mrvitalis:
Oh please stop this lie we tell ourselves ... everywhere in the world manufacturing companies provide their own power ...gas is cheap

power is not an excuse

mrvitalis:
One thing is that we don't have the population
..yes people with enough purchasing power to warrant manufacturing that's the truth

FreeIgbos:
You think to industrialize is something you can achieve with mouth? Even the little industries we have are currently on life support and they will eventually close down if things continue to deteriorate!

Haven't you seen the notice on Chivita juice in most malls now? About why you can't buy more than one or two, even with your money o Other industries are facing similar crises in trying to remain in production in a crazy country like Nigeria.

Even farm products seem to be worse hit, both animal husbandry and crop farming. Nigeria is facing a grievous disaster never experienced before. Between now and December, even next year, many people will find it extremely difficult to afford food

First of all you dont even have power
