BigDawsNet: You are very right... some of us here in the States settled for blue collar jobs for years before we could be able to fully switch into IT... tho it's not like IT positions are competitive here... but the reason is that a new arrival may hav to consider other means of survival for the time being is that... no IT company will hire you without a proper Work visa... so you gaz to work on your residency first before even thinking of applying for jobs...
Only the people that arrived on work permit resume work immediately... I was a students and it took a while before I got a proper placement because I require a sponsorship and its not that simple to issue out....
So I guess if this people work on dia adjustments of status first... den option for IT jobs will be surplus...
I remember I used to apply for jobs before Ieft Nigeria... i used to get almost every mail wanting me to resume or come for physical interview ... but when they discover I need a sponsorship... everything just become slow.....
You believe Niger Republic as 150,000,000 gas reserve, you also believe Chad has 1,500,000,000 proven gas reserve yet you don't believe North has 1billion proven reserve
The simple truth is, since Oil was discovered in commercial quantity and of high quality like Brent crude oil and bonny light off the cost of Nigeria, Nobody were interested in Oil and Gas Exploration
Everyone focused on Exploitation of Niger Delta shore Oil, since it was easy to ferry accross Gulf of Guinea for export, and Mining and Production lisence cost less than cost of geological exploration
BigDawsNet: Those once are basic programming projects... No top IT will hire you to build HTML php simple project... you need to be able to design a to level software to get a job with this companies...
So as a lecturer it's pretty normal to know the basis... But the said lecturer can still go for more training if he hav the time... 6months or less can really change his career
Well the reason for his career switch might not be because of lack of job opportunities or his skill set in development..
Apart from UK , Canada with Sponsored work Visa due to shortage in IT sector and maybe Italy with Digital Normad Visa... US Japparians in the IT sector usually need time to fully integrate into the very competitive US IT sector and this is why most Japparians to US make do with other Jobs till they can fit in to the US IT Labour market
Apart from the lecturer in question, I have another friend who got his master's degree in US, hasn't get an IT job, but works as a bouncer
rickyrex: NTA wey tinubu turb down nah private station. ignorance and tribalism is why you are happy buying bag of rice at 40K
If Rice na your problem at this stage of your life, then that's your concern.. and if supporting Townhall meetings with real people, to stupid debate in a studio is tribalism or ignorance then that's your problem
BigDawsNet: Not saying you are capping bro But sometimes, you may be able to write and understand code but you don't even know how to build a proper software... Majority of my computer science lecture back in Undergraduate days can write and understand codes... but they hav never successfully built one major software for a company before.... all they do is to maintain the school database or build small small students record system for some secondary schools...
So I guess his not a developer... maybe his just a tutor
It's a different thing.
Ok, that's true. To be able to code isn't the same as full software development
Apart from class tutorials, I am not sure I have seen him develop a project from scratch..
But however during my final year project requiring me to develop an examination portal he was fully supporting me in all stages and we basically developed it together using HTML, PhP and JavaScript
BigDawsNet: Are you sure he can write and understand programming?..
One of my IT mentor boss arrived here and started earning around 200k/yr with this same programming skills he developed from nigeria.. all he takes for him to do was go for another 6month course... now his a chairman...
He is good at Java, and C++ ... I mean he can write codes on plan paper and if you type it into an editor and compile it he would run without error
I would have simply shown his Facebook page but that's violating his privacy
Anyways anyone who attended LeadCity University around 2008-2012 would know Mr Solomon of Computer science department how good he is in programming and how he has since relocated to US with his family and proudly post pictures of him wearing his green reflector vest and construction helmet working at sites
Absuchat: I laugh at your last paragraph...it x-rays how much of importance you think you and everyone from your tribe is..... imagine, because he insulted your leaders (which is not so bad), you now think ibo presidency will not be a reality?
Who even tell you that you have such powers? Now let me shock u, Obi will win and there's nothing a living or dead Yoruba can do about that
You are free to dream, reality however is a different ball game
Idiotseverywher: . My life revolved around Tinubu in what aspect who is tinubu that my life will revolve around,your type are known, those who play dirty in supporting known thieves, known cut throats, known henchmen, known hitmen you are paid to do the hatchet job,by selling conscience, pretending as you don't know the truth, by promoting evil, so i am not bordered with your you because I know your type those who are paid to do dirty jobs you people can be found everywhere,
Leave long story and useless sermon, support your candidate and let me support mine
franchasng: My brother whether Obi wins or not doesn't change the fact that I and my family have been liberated for years, my only desire is for Nigeria to have a new breed of leaders with different ideology and style and that was the reason I was supporting Osinbajo to fly APC ticket even before Obi emerged.
It would have been a great joy having Obi on LP and Osinbajo on APC ticket, at least we would have had great hope that whoever wins will be good for Nigeria.
Should I expressly tell you that Buhari's tenure was my best years since I was born ? Despite his evil failed leadership, it favored me and my entire family. I acquired numerous properties, started new businesses, bought 5 cars in just 2021 alone no jokes.
Under Buhari's failed government two of my elder brothers got their highest promotions that put them among directors of their firms; bluechip companies in Nigeria.
Under Buhari's evil leadership I got married to a wonderful lady of my dreams, had amazing kids that look like dolls moulded to perfection.
Under Buhari's evil leadership some of my cousins got PR, some got top notch tech and medical jobs abroad from Nigeria and now top income earners abroad.
Under same Buhari's evil government a close friend became a Naira billionaire and now owner of a fast growing company providing wonderful services to Nigerians and other West African countries and I am so proud to be his closest friend cos being a friend of a billionaire also makes you closer to that status. At least I get contracts from him which I am grateful to God for.
So my wanting Peter Obi to win 2023 Presidential election has nothing to do with tribe, its cos I want a safer Nigeria devoid of daily slaughtering of people for no justifiable reasons.
Peter Obi's presidency might not even favor me like Buhari's government favored me who knows, but I dont care so long as he is delivering quality, equitable leadership devoid of tribal religious segregation, I am okay
Good for you...
My point still remains do you really think calling 40 million Yorubas Babarians and their leader tribal bigot, would achieve any positive result other than hate of you, your tribe and ofcoarse your candidate?!
I really truly don't think you understand how Politics works..
And for the records from birth, to adulthood, I have never depended on any government for anything from education to health, I run my business and that of my family without any government interference, all of my Family have atleast a residency permit, active visa or dual nationality, with Buhari's Government I have travelled more visiting two continents apart from Africa
So support of Tinubu or Obi doesn't give anyone right to call the other person babarian..
It's democracy and you support who can deliver what you believe in
If you want to see Tinubu speak, download his campaign time table, his manifesto and wait for his town hall meeting in your town or your community
Make sure you tune in always to TVC news, especially to watch him speak live at chattam house on his Foreign policy
*Tinubu visited Arewa house Kaduna, and told Northerners directly his plans on Security
*Tinubu visited Imo State to talk to Ibo business men about his plans on Federal credit facilities to stimulate their businesses
*Tinubu has met with head of foriegn missions and Diplomats from Isreal, America, South Africa, India, France, and has discuss foreign collaborations, partnership and bileteral agreement on trade and security
*Tinubu was in Warri to speak directly with ex militants, and people from Niger Delta Oil producing states, telling them his plans for them
If Atiku and his PDP minions like Obi and Kwankwaso like they can permanently leave at AriseTV or AsleepTV studios, that couldn't generate 10,000 live streams accross YouTube and Facebook
franchasng: hmmm how Tinubu have transformed one time peaceful Yorubas to Barbarians now playing politics with tribal-religious hatred baffles me.
This is the effect of having a tribal bigot as a leader, Tinubu have succeeded in turning most Yoruba youths to staunch tribal-religious bigots, this is not the Yorubas Awolowo laboured to educate, Yoruba ronu oh
I wonder if you are trying to win SouthWest vote using these derogatory remarks
Really you open your mouth to call Yorubas Babarians and feel Obi would get a vote, You call Yoruba leaders Tribal Bigot
Like play like play the next Ibo Presidency might take a century
kelly72: God himself will disgrace you all. From tomorrow, Pabola Escoba Tinubu will start mumbling balablu bulaba in London. His dementia will get worse and he won't even recognise his wife.
Don't bring God into this, except you talking about your village god
