Bro, that @omoluabiguy is kinda correct a lil bit sha oo... but he shouldn't have used the word suffer... see ehn, he was quite right.... reality will start to set in... but since you survive naija, you go surely survive this one too... nah only time... your first few months go surely rough... except you get correct men, I mean real correct men wey go help you navigate this phase... cos nah on student visa you dey, and your working hours dey limited... and as for the humiliation, hmmm, you go take a lot of things ooooo, but again, nah time... just put your head down, find better hustle wey you go fit take dey pay your bills for the time being, then take better career training, and hope for better days... talk to correct men around your area, dem go help with advise on how to go about getting a job for now.... but don't get too comfortable in those jobs, cos there's a lot of better paying jobs out here... you just got to take the right trainings and certifications, invest more time in developing yourself, then you should be good... you see that your naija school certificate wey you think say na scam/waste so, you will come to find out say nah GOLD....

There’s not much his naija certificate would do for him here. I have never seen or came across any job in America that asks about your certificates, all they want to know is what skills you got. As a hustler from Naija, if you made it to yankee, it’s like a second chance for you in life to rebuild and restrategize your life

247Hustler:
Thanks for the well wishes. But I will not suffer again sir. Not even Nigeria could stop me. There will always be a way. If you're in the US, let's connect.

I don’t mean suffer in a bad way but in a realistic way, if you are on a non immigrant status in America, my guy you go face am ooo, but again I believe in your hustle spirit. My story is similar to yours and I came here on a student visa too, bursted my a** in college, ended up learning programming skills, graduated and got good paying jobs, then the reality of changing status set in, that my friend, is another stage 3 level which is “changing your status” lol. Anyways sha, story long before I ended up becoming a citizen. Suffer is not a bad wish at all, it’s one of the requirements of achieving the American dream as a non immigrant from Naija. You’ll be fine tho.

247Hustler:
The road to America

By the end of March 2022, I have received responses for all my school applications. I have four total offers with one being funded. I was very happy but I decided to keep calm as I have read several cases of people being denied visas at the embassy.

I proceeded to arrange for the payment of my SEVIS and visa fees. I had a little delay with the payment of my SEVIS fee, so I could not pay on time. For this reason, I missed the early dates that were released for the interview. When the money was finally paid, I started looking for interview dates in Abuja. This process was arguably one of the hardest as dates were always not available. After a series of sleepless nights and sleeping on my computer keyboard, I managed to get a date that was a few days to resumption. I picked this date and began my preparation for the visa interview.

When it was two days before my interview, I left Ogun State for Abuja by road. Prior to this time, I have read news of kidnappings on the road. Although the news greatly disturbed me and my loved ones, the flight cost was exorbitant and going for that option would create a big hole in my finances considering my current and future expenses.

I got to Abuja at night and lodged at a guesthouse for two nights. On the day of the interview, I woke up very early and went to the US Embassy at Diplomatic Drive. When I got there, I met other people who were the for the same purpose and I went straight to the front. About an hour later, we lined up and were told to go in after the checks.

Throughout the process, I was so nervous because the stakes were so high. Since I was the first person in the queue, I was also the first person to be interviewed by the visa officer. My interview lasted for less than three minutes and I was approved. I quickly took my files and left the embassy for the guesthouse. Then I called my family and friends to inform them about the good news. It seemed surreal! My visa has been approved and I will be going to America!

A few weeks later, I booked my flight and the travel was scheduled for December. After spending time with my family and loved ones, I departed Nigeria for the United States in December 2022.


Yes, dreams do come true! I hope someone will try again one more time before giving up on life.

First I want to congratulate you for escaping the stage 1 struggle which is “Escaping Nigeria”

Secondly I want to welcome you to Stage 2 struggle which is “Newbie in Yankee” plus you are on student visa.

My guy you go still suffer and face a lot of humiliation ooo. A lot of realities await you but I believe you have the hustling spirit in you. If you can survive Naija, you’ll figure yourself out here too. Proud of you son! Keep the zeal afloat.

Will this AI bot take away people’s jobs?

I find it funny when people says tech jobs would be gone due to AI? First, what do you refer to as tech jobs?
There is a huge difference between people who are developing techs and people who work for a tech company.
Take for example, someone working as a customer support service for a tech company, I don’t think that is considered as tech job, I would say “working for tech company “ and yes it’s easy to lose that job when the real tech developers build a bot that can answer calls and respond to customers on phone.
It’s still people who build AI, tech dev (the real people in tech) job is never going anywhere. That’s my opinion.
Only people who work for tech companies might be laid off when bots build by tech devs are doing most of the support jobs. Even the bots needs maintenance and upgrades from time to time so the tech dev stays!

You guys should really learn how to do your marketing. Just spamming your link at every occasion will not get you far. It is cumbersome, embarrassing, distracting, and highly inefficient.

Why are you talking like a novice! One build will take away 10 jobs

Novice?? I think you sound more like a novice because it requires more programmers to maintain projects especially an automated projects like AI. A novice is one who thinks people would stop walking because cars are everywhere. Stop embarrassing yourself bruh, you exposing your ignorance

In terms of videos yes because it's expensive to push out video content but if you are talking about written programming content then Nigerians write a lot. I can't count how many times I have gotten stuck and I went online to read and it's an article written by a fellow Nigerian that helped me. Yours truly has even written down some programming articles. If the resources were there, I am sure making video content won't be a problem for Nigerians.

I do the video contents, Nigerians need to support for real lol. Check me out and smash that subscribe button https://www.YouTube.com/c/TheSeniorDev

I totally agree with you on this. I can't count how many times I've gone on YouTube to search for Nigerian programmers YouTube channel. I'm not talking about Nigerian programmers living abroad ohh. Even the little ones you get to see barely post anything related to programming, it's all about lifestyle and money...

I just want to calm down and learn my C++ and DSA well enough and do some competitive programming before I go into backend dev. I hope to be the William Lin of Naija that guy na my motivation and one of the reasons I fell in love with programming... I've set down at least 7 years to achieve these goals..

Y’all need to check me out really

Devdevdev:
You hardly see Nigerians teaching coding or talking about programming related stuff on on social media, especially on Youtube. This is because this is actually a legit way to be a successful person and it involves a lot of hard work, determination and consistence.

Nigerians only like to propagate get rich schemes and fraudulent stuff like plagiarizing books to post on Amazon or some rubbish Ponzi scheme. The common thread that links all these is that they don't involve much work and all you have to do is just do the little, then sit and wait for money to start pouring into your account. I admit there are a tiny minority of people who make money from these, but it's usually for a short period of time until it crashes or they get banned from Amazon, or get arrested, but the majority of people don't get shit, rather they jump from one get rich scheme to the other until they realize they've wasted their time.

Programming will never be saturated with competent programmers especially in this country because majority of people don't have the discipline and delligence to actually become competent programmers.

For the past month I've not been on social media. I deleted my Twitter, Facebook Tiktok, Instagram and vowed to never check status on WhatsApp because that's a very huge distraction. I only use Nairaland and Reddit, particularly for programming related information. I deleted every movie from my laptop and haven't watched TV for weeks.

How many people can do this? How many people can sit at a desk staring at a computer screen for 12+ hours everyday?

Nigerians are very lazy and are addicted to quick gratification and this works in the favor of programmers who are serious, because it reduces the competitiveness of the job market.

Ever wondered how application developers authenticate and authorize users in an application?
Ever wondered how it’s possible for different users to have different roles in an application? An admin can have a different dashboard and access compared to a regular user that has restricted access to only their own profile in the same application.
Well, if you stick around to watch this video, I have explained and implemented how to generate a token for users identity before granting them access to the application to ensure data integrity and application security.

IMO you are doing too much in Crypto. The market does not care about fundamentals when it comes to crypto, this is why a lot of you guys gets burned.

This is not US stock where there are regulated traders. Right now, the market is being pushed by mere FOMO, and it’s all on the bandwagon of BTc at the moment. DEFI on the other hand is the only sphere of crypto that is seeing organic growth because of the continuous development of the protocol to adopt more traditional banking activities into Defi.

Lol I laugh in Chinese whenever I see the dude’s analysis and other self acclaimed gurus. As a blockchain developer, I know there is no pattern to these crypto things. Even the real life analysts gets burned when they least expected. It’s just the confidence in the analysis for me and the blindfolded sheeps consuming those piece of craps lol #NoDisrespect
You only get to see these nairaland ngbeke analysts when the market is on green and watch them crawl back to their holes when they get burned when market goes red.
Sometimes, it’s just fun watching from the corridors without pitching in to comment.

Daemo111:
Good morning House,
I have a very important question for the gurus in the house. I have been trading Alt coins since I started crypto cos of affordability and have always been shying away from BTC itself cos of its high cost to own.

Now the question is, Currently 700USD would buy me 0.018376 BTC at $38k which is the current price, does it mean if BTC rise back to $60k it would be 60000-38000= 22000. And 0.018376×22 = 0.404272 BTC which would now become $15,424.39 (#6,361,019.16). Does it mean $700USD would become $15,424.39
Pls assist me with how you calculate your BTC profit and kindly let me know if I am correct or wrong with my analysis.

You are a thief lol. Anyways, just multiply your fraction of beeteecee (0.018376) by whatever the price of beeteecee is.

Oya… calculate your fraction of beeteecee by $60k and you’ll have your answer.
