U are right anyway. Who am I to question ur choice!

Zzor:
Sweetheart I'm on his side on this,its always wise for a lady never to date a man in her age group, a man must be stable financially before thinking marriage and he already made you understand that,the only mistake you made is dating him.Since he's not ready please look for someone who's ready and settle down with him,never let your emotions direct your thinking in marriage issues.Please let him go so as not to waste more time as you already have. Follow this tips:Cut off from a relationship that has no head way after six months to avoid stories that touch.As for me I already resolve never to date a man below 50yrs because most Nigerian men below 50 are still struggling.Such a messed up country

@Zzor, u won't kill someone with ur line of advice. Which one be u have resolved never to date a Nigerian man below 50 years as u presume they are dominantly struggling. I always follow ur comments and mostly they are mindboggling. I just laugh at this one as it appears to be the funniest...

My life literally paused when I read "MongoDB isn't used in production" . . heresy of the highest pedigree

I wonder how a developer would come up with the statement "mongoDB" isn't used in production. Heavy heresy of the highest order...

Tech is honestly the best industry to get into right now. The opportunities are numerous. Almost every job vacancy out there is tech this tech that, developer this and developer that. I stayed in school for 4 years studying for a useless engineering degree and I have never in my life seen a vacancy for the rubbish I studied but there are tech roles every day. But in spite of so many jobs in tech, a lot of new developers struggle to get opportunities. I started being active in the tech community recently and I am meeting developers who have been coding for 5 to 7 years but have never had an opportunity. Talking with them has led me to discover that it's actually not the tech industry but a few of the reasons I am listing below.

1. You follow the trends: A lot of us developers love to focus on the sexy trendy stuff. Newsflash, what is sexy and trendy isn't used and even when used is used by very few companies. So millions of people who have struggled to learn the sexy stuff are all going to fight for those few roles out there. Take for example the latest coolest CSS framework tailwind. It's really cool and hyped up and it's like the go-to framework right now but the thing is in the industry people are still using bootstrap. People are learning tailwind but they don't know the number one CSS framework out there. Just because something is cool and sexy doesn't mean that everyone is going to switch to it overnight.

If you give junior developers a chance between Angular, React, and Vue. A lot of people are going to pick Vue. They will say it's sexy and cool and has a ton of GitHub stars. There are jobs using Vue but they are so few compared to React and Angular that you would be pigeonholing yourself by learning that. Theres a whole of difference between coding for fun and coding to get a job.

2. You have unrealistic expectations: This is something I usually see on Reddit cscareerquestions but it seems to becoming a norm amongst everybody. People believe that if your salary isnt starting at 100k USD a year or you dont work for a tech company, you arent a developer. Its so elitist and unfortunately a lot of developers in Nigeria are beginning to have this mindset. They learn HTML, CSS, JS. They have built absolutely no projects but because someone said you need the knowledge of DSA to get a job they immediately start grinding leetcode day and night with the hope of getting into Google. You learnt to code from a Udemy course and you really want to compete at DSAs with people who went to MIT. People who have been doing competitive programming since 5 years old. People who get gold medals at the international olympaids of informatics like its nothing. . Funny enough, I also had this mindset when I was learning to code but corrected myself later on. The truth is that not every tech job out there tests with DSA or needs knowledge of DSA and not everybody must work for a big tech company. This reasoning is so flawed. It is like saying every lawyer must work for law firms like wale olanipekun and co or every engineer must work for exxonmobil. There are a ton of jobs that will pay you well as a junior developer like really well and you need not struggle to get them. They wont test you with DSA. They would only look at the complexities of your projects and go through them with you. By well paid I am talking of 500k and above. Ask yourself how many people asking you to do DSA in Nigeria have not yet worked at Google. There are even whatsapp groups dedicated to DSA and if you cant solve one you are kicked out. The person giving you DSA is not working at Google or Facebook hmm give yourself a brain o.


3. You do not know how to cut off the bullshit from social media: There's so much information out there today but if you don't know how to cut off the bullshit from what you need, you would waste your time. A lot of influencers and creators are putting information out there for themselves. They follow the algorithms and put out what is going to give them the most value in terms of money for their time. If I put out WordPress content, nobody will watch it but if I go out there and make MERN stack tutorials I would be getting millions of views but to be truthful you do not need the MERN stack as a junior. No one is using MongoDB in prod. Very few websites use Nodejs. You are just limiting yourself with that. If you want to be a full stack developer look at things like C# and Java springboot. Those pay really really well and there are even certifications you can acquire in those frameworks that can help get you opportunities at enterprise companies that use them especially if you don't have a computer science degree.

4 Your projects are not worth paying for: People put out calculators, todo lists, tictactoe games and a lot of bullshit on their portfolio and wonder why they aren't getting interviews. You have applied for 100 jobs and haven't been called back and you absolutely do not know the reason why. Nobody is going to hire you with a to-do list and a calculator on your portfolio. Even if you get an interview, is a calculator something you are going to show your interviewer. What happened to making a social media application, a chat application, a blog, an analytic tool, a dashboard. Something that people actually use in the real world every day. I remember one of the first interviews I have, one of my projects was a payment application I used paystacks API for. Everything was done with HTML, CSS and Javascript and once my interviewer saw the project and the button I used to connect the API, he made an offer to me immediately. Your projects matter especially as a beginner. One solid project is better than 100 garbage projects.

5 You don't research: Honestly, in this tech thing, I take what everyone is saying as bullshit. The senior developer I work with an Australian guy was telling me to learn web assembly if I really want to get a job with visa sponsorship which I so desperately need. I am tired of remote especially doing it from this shithole zoo of a country. I went to Linkedin Jobs and various countries indeed websites and I couldn't even see up to 500 jobs total in web assembly. Why would I waste time learning something that has no jobs because it might be relevant in ten years. Nodejs came out in 2009 and it is still not relevant in 2021. What is the probability that web assembly will be relevant in 2031. Research. When people tell you to learn a technology. Go to linkedinjobs and indeed and check how many jobs exist for that technology worldwide. People always advise you from their own point of view but the point of view of a senior developer in America, Europe or Australia is not the same for you a junior developer in the world's poverty capital.

Tech pays provided you do it right men.

Stop condemning a certain technology. How could you come up with the idea that MERN STACK is nonsense. Who told u MongoDB isn't used in production. Have u gone through the statistics in stackoverflow and see the community of experienced developers using MERN STACK. That u don't make use of a certain technology doesn't mean there are no opportunities there for it. Useful projects are being developed using this technology and I am a proud of it. I like ur advice in general though but I have heavy exception at the fact that u are condemning MERN STACK. That u don't use it doesn't make it any less important...

One less simp and idiot to worry about. Next news please!!!

Girl9999:
Life doesn't seem worth living anymore.

He hasn't even called me to know how I am doing.

I can't believe people are insulting me and blaming me for what happened. I created this thread to get advice and comfort but I'm getting insults. I'm a very emotional person and this isn't helping.

I'm crying all over again just reading some comments. I don't have an alcohol problem and yes I planned on having sex with him soon; when I felt ready, but definitely before marriage. How can you say this is my fault?

Today might be my last day on this earth. Human beings are indeed wicked.

Hello Girl,

U don't have to be blaming urself on this issue. Most comments might be unguarded anyway. But here is my little advice and it might seem awkward to many and I might be baracked at the end of the day as a result. Do not report him to any police. Just leave him to his fate and move on. Delete everything about him and stop expecting to hear from him as u have said he hasn't even called u since then. Be urself and realise that u have known him as a bad person, a rapist. There's no justification for rape whatsoever. But don't base on that and take him to police or stretch the matter. Avoid him like a virus. Again, remember there exist some atoms of luv u have for him and I guarantee u taking him to the police wud hurt u the more. Just be urself and don't take ur life but make a decision on whether to keep from men or not until u are ready for marriage and make sure it wud purely lead to marriage and is based on reality. Finally, go the hospital for medical check up so as to know ur status, infection-wise and the likes. U don't have any blame whatsoever here. He is simply the opposite of what he portrayed to be...

Genea:
Ludicrous, the truth is that FG don’t understand it and also because of wickedness. A govt whose officials asked if we store things in the cloud, what happens when it rains? Our govt has failed us, Buhari has failed us and to the youths, the time to japa is now. Naija is a failed state

Babe u just said it all. A nation with officials so naive in terms of IT. With the @ bolded the height of it. I keep shaking my head at the thought of being a Nigerian. I'm sorry to say this but not under the governance of this present administration...

Everybody go here am here for this topic hand. Op, honestly ur brain dey go anticlockwise. How on earth u go unearth this kind of topic. Anyway, let me keep reading inorder to know the answer from grammarians in de house...

Kingofum:
you're a cowward and hell bound. Is speaking in tongue a bad thing?






ogun kill you

Hmm, imagine ur response. One wud even think speaking in tongue is a bad thing with what u spew with ur mouth

Winneygirl:
As she is not the one making the post, there must be something we don't know yet.

Most people don't do genotype testing 7 times.
If you're AA, you do maybe one confirmatory test before marriage, that's all.

Why was she running up and down doing genotype test?
It is because she knew she was AS long ago.

Thank u a million times my dear! You are wise and very intelligent at reading meaning. I think u said it all...

Kapilta:
I knew it. I knew it's gon be Obembet behind the thread. Penaldo zombie. Penaldo with over 300 penalty goals and over 400 tap ins and they won't let us hear word. Let Giroud play in Real Madrid with Marcelo and Vasquez always doing the crossing like they did for headnaldo and watch him score over 50 goals season in season out. Nonsense. Late Diego Maradona and Lionel Messi remains two only greatest to have graced the pitch. QED

Madness runs through ur blood. Not even prayers can savage u. I pity u cos u hate good thing. Keep embarrassing urself...

Hello guys good evening

So last night I had a little problem on where to keep the chick for the night, due to rat issues we have at home (didn't want a situation where I might meet a headless chick next day) I finally got a place.

I have decided to keep the chick and also my instinct tells me it's going to b a female so in 3weeks time check back to see if the op has very bad instincts (anyway my instincts don't lie, lol) so am going to call her; Mira.
Say hello to Mira everyone

Everyone is so fond of Mira at home, she follows anybody and everybody at home and once u leave her presence she start to cry. So I had to do the needful make her feel at home. Earlier today I went out to get a little saw-dust, a mudu of vital starter food and some vitamins. For now Mira stays in a carton filled with saw-dust, she hasn't complained yet so I think she's ok with it.

I let her roam the compound freely and so far so good she like it cus through out today we barely heard her voice, it got to quiet to a point I started looking for her, thinking she might have gone out only to see her under a banana plant doing what chickens do best.

Will keep u guys posted, Thanks

That's kind of u. I like that. Just take good care of Mira..

Whiteshield:
It seems you are so daft that you don't understand the thrust of this issue. Men who cheat on their wives with DNA don't bring bastards home. The problem is not cheating but bringing bastards home.

It is unfortunate I have to explain something as basic as that to you. I'm sure that if it is to open legs like caterpault, you will quickly understand that one.

You nailed it there! That should be the ultimate response...

Kogi people are the dumbest set of people around. Their reasonings are so backwards and they embrace suffering. I believe they enjoy it when insanity takes precedence. Anyway, this cartoon describes them 200%����

Pierocash:
[/s]you deserve an award for your stupidity. Your foolhardiness is legendary.

Because he is a music artist makes him lose his empathy for the downtrodden like you right?whenever a failed leader is questioned ,that simply implies that the person is interested in politics by your own little mind right?

Guy, I don't usually comment on this thread but I have to say am impressed with ur response to the lunatic. U actually put him in his place...
