A friend needs a social media manager.

You should be very handy and creative.
Being in onitsha is one of the criteria o!

If you're interested, drop your contact.
If you're not in Onitsha, don't bother oo! They won't pick you. Just so you know.

You can learn javascript on the world wide web.

Make una stop to ask nenemu questions abeg!!!

Tensazangetsu20, Qtguru, and airsaylongcome.

Op, you're just seeking attention. What will you do with the inputs you get from here knowing most will be based on cognitive biases.

Una go just wan post sha...

Anyways, they all do the same job differently, choose anyone that gets the Job done.

While there are many types of calculators, one of the most common ones is a percentage calculator which calculates percentage increase / decrease, percentage of, what percentage is, etc. For this, the best one for android playstore IMO is this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.Microtechsoft.percentage It is a paid app, but only 99 cents which i think is worth it since there are no ads to distract

You really had to justify your pricing with words of mouth rather than app functionality.

It's only 99cent with your shitty UI.

How many downloads would you really have gathered if it was a free software sef?

Now there are signatures to tax payers monies...
FACILITATED IS THE KEYWORD.

I wish we had better sha.

I just came here to say postgres is bae!!!

Anything I do these days is with postgres and get why.

Document databases are cool, but still give me postgres.

People are begging to disagree... these are facts... quite unfortunate una just dey find out.

This isn't 2023 data ooo! These are data curated over a period of time... Literacy isn't based on a short term survey...

Imo state has always been. We have our differences and shortcomings... but trust me, plenty good things dey that state.

The general idea of FUTO students still remains, you are book smart.

Ā yín à, Anya.... e don tey wey yansh dey for back ooo!

My heading is very intentional to bring you in...

Now you're here... won't you agree with me about native apps and the future we are headed towards...
There's this shift happening in programming and how every language wants to support or run in major devices.

We all know how you can wake up tomorrow to build a macOs version of your app with flutter... why? Because flutter supported it.

And then, Apple Silicon happened, which is the new generation of macs. Now Macs run iOS apps.

Are we still native? Are we still building towards native or moving closely to hybrid systems.

Now at the time I thought this was just an Apple thing. They can do it because they make their own hardware. But then I realized that this isn’t just an Apple thing. All around us software is changing. And native apps are are doing Micheal Jacksons moonwalk.

Just sharing a thought about an article I read on Medium.

What do you think about these changes?

A word of advice. Start building out projects, stop sexualizing programming challenges.

The real challenge is in system design. Make your product no work first. You go know what's up.

Pussy this, dick that, toto this, breast that. Come on!

Make I add my own.

If you don't have the knowledge, enough to use a tool, it'll always seem like a waste of time. OpenAI, Bard, and the very large language models, even xGrok... all of them out there can make your life easier if you know what you're doing.
I recently switched to cursor IDE from VSCode and it has been something I kept wondering about. What is the future of AI and programming going to look like?
Well, it's simple.

Just know what you're doing, and you won't have to complain.
Try cursor then come here and thank me personally o!

Modified: tensazangetsu20, Paystack, airsaylongcome, and qtguru all of una scarce for here small. Wetin una dey cook? Abeg make una make am scent reach here ooo.
Tensa, congrats bro. You don finally run am. Talk and do!

DDayve:
niel63 and others who gave a constructive criticism when I posted my portfolio project here, I want to specially thank you.

After several failures and trials, I finally got a tech job as a front-end web developer.

I have been on my graduate job for 8yrs now but my first tech job which is remote pays me more. Funny enough, I still do both. My onsite job is presently not stressful, so I write code while at work using company power.

My advice to newbies, the road is not rosy but there is definitely gonna be light at the end of the road if you persist.

Congratulations bro. 🎊

Happy to see you have a good result from filtering what we all say here.
Keep up the good work.

Majorly cos most Igbos don't live in their states. That's why I laugh when Igbos think they can survive in isolation. Igbos survive on patronage from other Nigerians since they are majorly into trading.

Igbos are the ones benefiting the most from Nigeria's population and most of the funds being spent in the east is from other parts of the country.

I know the sensible ones realize this...

Dude, Bleep up.
You dey yarn opata.. no be pure water nau... haba!!!

Use your Google, check the most educated state in Nigeria 🇳🇬
Education exposes you to alot more than most would actually understand
There's just something about these people and it has always been the issue they have with the rest of the world. They are different!
When they say there is *love in diversity* it goes a long way than mere words. Check the meaning of that too.
Remember the only slave ship that was sank by the slaves... who were the slaves again? Are these facts? Yes!
Sorry ooo, who do you think actually practises ONE Nigeria more?

Ghana 🇬🇭 people would say... Charlie, travel den see!

Nobody get monopoly of madness, na just a way of life.

You choose your path, if I were you, I'd learn to love a little more. The igbos aren't your problem.

I just rememeber something, remember that trending video?

I ask you question... you dey correct me without even making an effort to relate what the issue is.
You now knkw why people would always ignore you guys. You want help, and you dey correct me.

It's alright.

I hope with this you know who will be the primary key

E go throw error

Fully remote job.

Just imagine say una no dey too get light for una area, say na Gen you wan dey use once once, also remember you'd be using your own system, so if e crash you're on your own and company no wan hear say you no finish your weekly task... make una dey play well well ooo... even country wey get light no go pay their intern this low.

So I just say make I come post something here based on a conversation I had with a guy here on NL regarding Jobs in Nigeria and Nigerian employers.

So, there was this job alert on X for a mid-level React Native Developer. I swear my mind tell me say na one of those jobs wey plenty headache dey follow cos the person asked to join a whatsapp group. Well, I still say make I apply as country hard small like this

To my surprise, over 100 people joined same group, and I was like wow, devs dey 9ja ooo.

I became even more suspicious when i asked a question based on job description and the developments direction since it's RN... see ehn, RN has become complex, yet very simple but you need to know what development direction you're to follow.
1. The bare RN development
2. The Expo Managed Workflow, which is further distinguished by the SDK you're using... because of the new App Router in Expo SDK 49 and new releases.

So, I noticed a few guys also asked intelligent questions based on the job, they still didn't answer rather, posted a Google form link for application.
Finally, application form with job description.

Omo, Nigerian employers really need to do better.
You're telling people they will be earning 100k up to 300k in Naira... and have a work input of 40hrs per week.
Hahaha!!!!

Well, guess what, I got kicked out of the group when I asked why they'd want to pay a React Native Developer between $100 - $300 per month on a 40hr weekly input.

Na ment?
I know say hunger dey but some 9ja employer wicked abeg. Tomorrow they'd say they are doing you favour... someone will take the job and I wish em the best of luck when RN starts with im wahala! RN is simple BUT omo, if e start with you, you'd hope you don't smash your computer on the ground.

See screenshots 🤣🤣😂😂

I am a lady.

Apologies... my lady. I didn't pay attention to the name.

But these days sha, babes sef don dey answer bro. and guys, sis!

No mind me jare...

Meerahbel:
Remote job?
Get a solar system installed.

I had solar.
You no get the gist?
Them say, based on your geographical location, dem no fit risk am.

If you're lucky with one that overlook those, then kudos... that's an experience I'm sharing bro.

Yes! Especially if you're in Nigeria.
They'd tell you that can't work with you for these 3 reasons.

Una no get light,
Una no get better Internet
And the timezone/time difference go turn problem.

Atleast I've had these issues. Dem know say you go fit do the Job, but you dey 9ja!
kai, this country.

stankelz:
greetings bro, do you work with react-native ? I'm having having trouble setting up Android studio for simulation. I've been on this for more than 3 days now. Any tips that can help me ?

Having trouble... what trouble exactly. Be descriptive and post your log if possible.

I am a React Native Dev.
Post your questions and very descriptive.

If you have an error, post your log.

Op, are you using bare react native setup or expo managed workflow?

RUN OOO!
These people are on upwork too... inshort everywhere...

tosinhtml:
You're are definitely a block head with this response because they have already answered you that it is called An exchange of value NOT doing favour like you term it.

The employer is not doing me a favour & I am also not doing them a favour, they offer me money for the value I bring. Nobody is doing anybody favours here.

If the employer behaves like a slowpoke, you are free to resign as they aren't doing you a favour.

I understand you're trying to make your point and I stand with you. But abeg no name calling or insults... we can all share our opinions without insulting ourselves... he has his right to his own view... just leave am.

Shebi na people vote Tinubu

BlackhatMentor:
Lol

Now ur calling me names lol.


Like it or not... As an employee you're disposable and the one who employs you is your boss which you must show work respect that's why there's hierarchy and different positions in the office


Keep living in denial and forming Mr favor giver when you're away from work.

But behave like a subservient dog in the office.

Rubbish

No vex about the name calling bro. Chest am... na social media.

BlackhatMentor:
Seems we're talking or arguing about different things.


One person here said he's doing his employer a favor by giving them his time.


I said No!

It's the other way around...The employers are the one doing you a favor by helping you maximize your skill, potential, paying you and helping you aquire experience which will help you in other aspects of life or your career.


Yes the employers take more of the gains and profits.

But if the business was to collapse they'd be the one to take all the losses too not the employees.


9-5fers are ok with this setup.


Those who aren't Ok with this setup and think they're slaving away are usually the ones who becomes the Employers anyway

Bro, haba!

That's why we have the term "Contractors" "Indie Hackers"

While I agree with you on the other fact that the guy said he's doing them a favour. I still do not agree with you that most employers are as you described them.

BlackhatMentor:
Nothing like in a sane clime Oga.


It is never the other way around.


Check companies like Google, Amazon, Netflix

People from Havard, or any Ivy league university will literally kill to work in those companies or even get an internship.


What are u even saying.


You can say your employers should treat you with respect because irrespective of the job positions we're all still human.


Saying you're doing them a favor is big Rubbish.


You're the one who begged them for the Job,

You're the one who went for all the interviews

You're the one who calls your employers Sir/Ma during work why they address you by your name


Every on earth employers and above and superior to employees


That's how it is, that's how it will always be

To start with, I personally don't think I've ever begged anyone for a 9 - 5 job ooo! All my life, I've actually not worked a 9 - 5 job. So, basically this isn't for me.

But I am talking about how most Nigerian employers behave. Typically, same for most.
Una dey fine who go build AWS for una but pay them stipend for it and sometimes even owe them.
I am talking from the experience I've had with the so-called CEOs because me I no sabi lick anybody azz because of work. Guy na WORK ooo...

Stop calling Google or any of the big 5s (FAANG)
Even them sef get their own for body.
Why do you think they face terrible backlash when an employee leaks a data.

My brother, are you an employer? All I am asking is for you guys to do better.
We understand it's a Job but it doesn't mean you should treat your staffs like slaves and make them feel like you're doing them a FAVOUR.
You definitely made profit while these workers are working for you. So to maximise profit, you tend to push them to the extreme and slave them to your bids, whilst still maximising profit. And this is especially in Nigeria.
Talking about doing people favours... well, I understand you. The unethical character of bringing family to a position they dont deserve is definitely a favour but paying someone to do what they know how to do isn't a favour... it's an exchange of value.

Make we rest for this matter.
No one is doing anybody any favour. Na Nigeria spoil con make people no know anything again... because of hunger.
Make una no worry. I dey always talk am. If Nigeria works today, Big men no go reach 50 for 9ja, cos thing will be different. No more FAVOURS.
It's all gonna be by merit.

Talking about the big companies... do knkw how much they pay for vacation for their staffs? Only a few 9ja company does that... only a few.

BlackhatMentor:
Stop deviating from the main discuss.

Like it or not, your employer is doing you a favor by employing you that's why you respect them on the Job.


It's never the other way around.

If you feel giving people your time for money you're doing them a favor then start your own business

In a sane clime, it's called an exchange of value NOT doing favour like you term it.
That's why our system is still trash... that's why an employee would hardly sue an employer because he/she is doing you a favour... some employers even go as far as sexually harassing employee and I am very sure most of you think you're doing them a favour also. Make una continue oo... miracle workers favour doers.

BlackhatMentor:
They're no jobs

They're giving you a Job and paying you


In every way you can think of they're doing you a favor rubbish.

Na your kind dey pay dev 140k per month...una need person wey go tear una better slap. Rubbish.

If CTO fit dey fear to employ person because of yansh, then anything can happen. Just seeing you as a potential threat to his free knacks, you won't get the Job.

Shebi na 9ja.... no worry... you'll learn.

She actually needs a app cos not everyone is comfortable with going to Chrome all the time

I will avoid your posts and responses until I am certain you know what you're saying.

Jenifa123:
I would have a lot to say but no need, you sha think I’ve been coding for over 5 years without knowing these abi,

Apart from the login and register pages which I had to do with very little attention to details which I’ll improve on, every other thing sits fine, functions perfectly and loads well. The design works very good, but what do I know 😂😂😂.


Thank you tho

You would have alot to say? How? And what exactly?
Talking about little attention to details. Since you already know this, why does it still sit that way.

It's not about coding for 5years. Okay, so this is even built out with a theme/template I presume.
Hmmm... learning is a process but you want to skip it. And just launch a product abi.

I even felt you started the whole project from scratch. I was almost feeling bad for being a bit too honest.
Enjoy your fame babygirl. Na truth me just clear you ooo!

AI can spin up a better design than this with the right prompts. Times are changing.
