Which are you disputing from the list? And also make sure you do your comparison with any other Southern states as that's what my arguments is all about
Gone are those days when Ogun used to be cheap. Oyo was even cheaper those times but now everything has even out.

In Southern Nigeria, Ogun state should top the list.

Food is cheap
House rent is just so ridiculous cheap
Transportation cheap as well, infact they will have to reverse to pick you up
Cost of living generally is moderate
That was when Amosun was Governor or when your master has not gotten to leadership. Maybe na Ipokia or Ijebu waterside you dey live.

All the aforementioned properties are typical of a fake palm oil. Most of the palm oil we have in the market is adulterated the level of adulteration is what differs. No wonder there's high rise of organ failure.

This will be my final comment on this thread. If you’re a Nigerian living in Nigeria in 2025 and are fortunate enough to have a supportive family or someone who can help you with essentials like internet access and fuel for a generator while you learn to code, take it as seriously as if your life depends on it—because it does. Opportunities like this might never come again, not even if you move abroad.

Nigeria isn’t improving. When I started learning to code, ₦75,000 could buy a decent laptop. That same laptop now costs around ₦300,000. Electricity wasn’t as expensive, fuel was less than ₦200 per liter, and internet access was more affordable.

If you think moving abroad will make learning easier, think again. Once you leave Nigeria, the reality of bills hits hard unless you have a wealthy family to support you. Many Nigerians abroad end up stuck in exhausting, menial jobs for years just to survive.

So if you have the chance to learn coding in Nigeria, grab it with everything you’ve got. It could be the one opportunity that changes your life forever.
What about person like me wey no get that support you described above. What's the way out for us? Na me dey feed myself, gatz do some jobs to keep up.

I was also in the education field for years until I lost interest, I didn't have money and decided to learn data analysis from YouTube.... The internet is the best teacher...

Quit active teaching and source from colleagues about home lessons before you get balanced in your web designing field.......
Seek for home lessons and give commissions to them when they give to you.

The truth is you can't make any meaningful money in education and school owners replaces you as new graduate comes into place.....[qàuote author=Olympuse post=132801329]
Are you also in the tech field?
This is very true, when one gets to a certain age, they'll see a need to discard someone. That's the future I see with teaching and I am so afraid of my life going that route. Hence my decision. I will try and look for home lesson to afford me time even though I know that will just give me money for food.

Here's my candid advice; you need a source of income which will sustain you while you learn the skill, web development is a good skill provided you have the zeal to get better at it, nothing can stop you but yourself. Since you're not yet proficient in it, I'd advice you keep making out time daily to learn while doing your job. The economy isn't favorable at this time to be unemployed, not this time.

The job will be means to sustain you to be able to learn the skill. You're never doing the teaching job for ever. The next best thing I'd suggest is to seek out internship roles in web development while teaching, save up enough money so that when the internship comes you can easily transit into that facing your passion.

It's a very lucrative skill and I know a determined mind can achieve what so ever he sets his heart to do.
I engaged in an internship with one startup company but it didn't go well because they had to stop the project halfway complaining they aren't making sales. I'm on the look out for other ones

Don't listen to this advice........quit now and use 6 months to horn your skills in your desired field.......

Teaching is not for men in their 30s if you are there already,it keeps you there acs you get caught up in the rat race.......

Stay in your digital skill field and tell people more about it ....your star go soon shine
Are you also in the tech field?

TravelCan Someone With 2.2 Class Of Degree Get Masters In Europe by Olympuse(op):
Hello house, I have this question bothering my mind and I want experienced ones to get me an answer. Can a graduate of 2.3 class of degree get to do master's abroad especially in Europe? If there is a chance. Which schools are available that someone can apply to? If the chance is slim, can getting a master's here in Nigeria with a good grade increase the chance?. I look forward to your views and advice.

Jobs/VacanciesWhat Should I Do? by Olympuse(op): 11:09am On Apr 02, 2024
I'll make this brief. I am a 29 yr old graduate and single. Ever since I completed my NYSC four years ago, I have taken up teaching job as means to survive. But I noticed that I have not made any progress throughout those years. That beg the question, what's the way forward?
I have some options before me but I don't know the best for me considering some factor like age. I consider going back for MSc but I finished with 2.2 in my degree. Another option I'm considering is focusing on frontend development but I see adverts where they ask for Computer science certificate as requirement and saturation of the job market. Last option on my list is going back to school for computer science degree. Settling down is also another path on the list. So wise men in the house, what should I do please?.

You did not reveal your course of study
Instead of going back to study computer science from 100 level, use that money to get trained in web development in a reputable ICT institute Like APTECH , New Horizon, etc.
I studied biochemistry!
Shouldn't I be concerned with the current job scarcity and saturation of web development?
I have also included Japa in my plans too if I see substantial money or sponsor.

I admitted to your assertion that post covid bubble for IT will be gone but other sectors will be badly affected.

Ask yourself what caused the post covid bubble - many people who do not have the IT fundamentals sneaked into IT. They go into area of IT that is not so steep and these are the people that do not even understand what a "class" is IT means or how the tech ecosystem connects.

Many roles were created who do not require you to be steep in IT. Tech gets bloated.

These are the people that would be swept away. Tech will hold on to individuals with solid skill sets.

I just told you I rejected an 800 GBP per day job. I am negotiating for a 1000 GBP per day and we are still on it. I work on AI projects across the continents as well.

If you want to go into tech, understand the fundamental, have interest to create magic , not for the money alone.

A lot of companies want to build AI for their processes. The opportunities are bigger than they have always been, if you are thoroughly skilled!
You can say this because you are vast and highly skilled. For someone who already has the knowledge of the fundamentals, what area is less bloated in this AI revolution. Coming from a. Web development background.

Yes. AI affects tech but not like the other sectors. It is tech people that build AI and maintain it.

Regarding the DEVIN AI, it is hyped. I have watched the video and read vastly about it.

The best that can happen to Devin is it will be another tools that developers will leverage. If you are into codes, you will understand what I am saying.

Codes is not about knocking things together. It is about understanding the technical requirements , arrange it to align with global best practices. You cant feed devin AI the requirements. A programmer can type the requirements one by one into devin, read the generated codes, understand it, refactor it.

No organisation will feed generated codes by Devin AI into the production environment. You are safer being in tech than any other profession.
But you are yet to admit my assertion that AI has really put a dent on the Tech bubble of post covid period and it's about to burst. And coupled with the fact that the competition out there is fierce. It's getting tougher
TravelRe: Finally Migrated To Australia At Age 48. This Is My Story So Far by Olympuse: 11:45am On Apr 01, 2024

That is where you miss it.

AI will enable most people in tech to be more efficient. AI cant sit in a meeting to gather technical requirements but developers can leverage on AI to write his scripts.

An experienced coders will even refactor codes written by AI because it is not reusable and not the best for the use case.

Hook yourself into tech before the train leaves, if you can.
But you will agree with me that there are some areas of tech that AI is gradually taking over like web development and graphics design. Have you heard of Devin AI? I know AI can't organize interviews but since it makes work easier why would companies spend much money on recruiting juniors when a senior Dev can just do the work of two more devs.

I recognised this your assertion and I stated in my write up. I said if you can, the time to jump in is now.

The threat of AI is so real and fast coming
As if that AI isn't coming for tech jobs too, infact they have started feeling it in the Tech world with the number layoffs and downsizing.
