Seun:
Hello Nairalanders,

I'm Seun, the founder of Nairaland. Talk to me about what Nairaland is like for you. What's good and what's not so good right now.

I've been more focused on the backend and working on new features. It seems as if the moderation and other issues have fallen behind.

So, talk to me. What should we focus on in order to encourage you to start being more active on Nairaland?

PS: I have people dropping me messages presuming that Nairaland is over. What's that about?

Stay on, look for extra gigs. Leaving right now with nothing guaranteed is the worst decision you'll ever make. He sees value in you nuture it.

Your status 7 months ago was not up to 60k monthly. Why the rush to upgrade.

OP,
with all due respect, you're lying!

I am a Cross Riverian who has done plenty business across the borders of Cameroon, all the way into Douala and even had a brief stint in the capital city of Yaounde. I currently operate from Abuja and still conduct business with acquaintances in Cameroon. The last transfer I received was on Tuesday this week through the Orange funds exchange. The 21,000 francs I received translated to 19,700 naira. That means the naira still holds an edge over the francs.

Agreeably, about 5 weeks ago, the naira and the francs found a balance, then the francs leapfrogged naira by a small margin, but that disparity only lasted for about a week.

We all agree that the economy is in a terrible state, but please stop peddling lies to the reading public just to court sensationalism. I don't like Tinubu and his governance style, but I detest when people create facades of intended deceit.

The op is very correct. I sent money to my sister yesterday.

I swearagod only WhatsApp messenger can be controlled, I conclude my findings that even Twitter and Facebook are search engines where you can get pornographic contents...
We are doomed! Just search #her on twitter and go through the results to find a crazy sex video and what have you...
Gay sex and all bullshit, I thought twitter was an exception

Not Facebook

You don't know what you are talking about. Go to obosi, ogbaru and environs, all in Anambra and see for yourself, Oko in Delta. The route on the delta end is springing fast and that of Anambra is almost near completion.

When we see answers before the exam date? It should be 95% pass record.

tensazangetsu20:
Six months but I haven't stopped learning till then. I believe anyone can do with seriousness and determination.

Area of specificity and where you aim to look next and where you started from.

tensazangetsu20:
I didn't have any background. I was a mechanic before I became a programmer and my first salary was 100k. I studied my ass like crazy. Programming morning till night everyday till I was ready for my first job.

Duration?

I hear python all of the time, but I don't know shit about it, will it alone start putting food on my table?

stanliwise:
With your background, let’s be truthful here. In six month time, ICT wouldn’t offer you anything.

The strategy is to dive into ICT as a hobby and gather knowledge. With commitment here and there. When that time is right to switch you will know instantly.

ICT as for your situation will pay you if you invest like 2 years in it.

So the process ain’t fast and it is quite stressful. But Once you are there. You’re made

Venture in business or start a skill
Tailoring
Graphics design(if you have a good eye for design and creativity)
Writing

I was thinking graphic design too.

I like UI/UX but will a sufficient knowledge in just that get me gainfully employed?

I am 30yrs old male, a degree holder, I currently reside with my father with no Job. I was into teaching(Private school), I had to quit as it is a waste of my time and doesn't guarantee me a future. I do other menial jobs to make end meets. Fortunately, I have a supportive background my father wants to give me one shot.

I have seen people talked about many things and resume opportunities in the ICT space, I just don't know where to venture into, the concept is somewhat alien to me.

I want something that can start paying me in 6 months. This will at least give me some financial freedom. Where do you think I should explore?

NB: I am not good at mathematics, drawing and I don't have a sound knowledge in Ms word and Corel drawer. Other than those shortcomings, I am a smart and an intelligent fellow looking for a livelihood.

I trim it using a trimmer.

I started freelancing to set up a business and become self employed.

What is freelancing?

Modrov:
Dear poster

I see no reason why you should abuse me, when I did not call you a fool or abuse you.

If you have facts to counter my facts, do that.

If you don't, please keep quiet.

Thank you.

This is 2021, no country in the world charges 5k in Naira equivalent to buy 1GB of data.

[quote author=Modrov post=1056 it46634]The cost of data in Malawi is $27 In Nigeria it is $1.31...for the same one gig

Then the minimum wage in both countries is the same.

In Chad it is $23...where their minimum wage is N47000 Or 116 dollars.


The cost of 1 g data in the Central African republic can chop one quarter of your income.....here in Nigeria it is much less.

I think the problem is, anyone who points out the fact that data is cheap in Nigeria is perceived as arguing for higher prices. That's not true.

Anyway, the argument we should really be having is the modalities they use in setting the price for data. That's what we should be asking.

Modified


OP is being clever by half. He compared Nigeria to the US...meanwhile, there are many African countries that charge higher for data than even the USA....and OP did not put them on his list because he knows it would defeat his argument..especially as minimum wage in many African countries is about the same as, or less than Nigeria..[/quote]Stop making a fool of your.

Get a AWS cloud certification.

Get more info here
https://www.aws.training

NB personally am into infosec as a penetration tester (CEH v11) and now studying for my OSCP (Certification course from Offensive Security the creators of Kali Linux)next year.
Infosec (cyber security) is a good field and there's a lot of entry courses and certifications including free ones that are really good.
I'm 2 months into my study for AWS cloud practitioner, i just wanted to add cloud computing knowledge to my skills. (Maybe cloud security in future)
If there's enough interest i will try to drop links/info on some free but good courses for cloud computing (AWS), Infosec (Cyber security) and Linux OS.

Can I take any of these courses without any background knowledge in IT?

Ahmback:
I learnt graphic designing (photoshop/illustrator per say), i'm good at content creation/article writing too, i'm good at word processing, i planning to learn programming/coding this month for 3months interval. So by next year, i don establish myself

I have the resources and wanna learn, is 3 months feasible? I heard there's a lot of mathematics in may aspect of programing aside the ones that make use of natural language.

Ahmback:
I got lots of skills in I.T and i'm also creative. No worries

List few of those skills that can help a brother to become gainfully employed.
