chukzyfcbb: ofcourse, we all know someone who got whipped up from linkedln or somewhere abroad, it's not a news flash.
And yes if one keeps upgrading yourself like I said, you stand to earn higher income. it's simply means you are more valuable than before.
However the notion I am reading here that if one picks up some scripting languages in 18months he can be on his way to 500k or 750k is far from reality.
Success takes Time and Hardwork and that's my message. Not to forget that some of these programmers or IT guys who earn close to 1millionnor more don't always know as much as you think they know.
They are not really the Ronaldo's of the industry or the Messi, they were just found grace/luck to be at that position.
there are coders who have learnt so much and just waiting for the breakthrough yo hit that big bucks. put them side by side with some at the top and they will crucnh them for dinner with knowledge.
Life isn't always white/black, it isn't always 1+1 = 2.
However I still maintain the fact that if one keeps advancing his knowledge in RELEVANT FIELDS , Fields that are in demand overtime he will hit the top, but it may take time and not as quick as most people are painting it to be.
That's my point sire. Ofcourse only a FOOL will expect to learn code and within few months start earning millions. Like every other thing, there's a ladder to climb and sequence to follow. The only guarantee you have learning and knowing how to code, is you have an in-demand skill which can put you on that trajectory to eutopia. There are so many freelancer devs earning a decent living and footing their bills without any contract jobs or full time jobs (very few fields out there avail such). My point was that there's no dent of luck needed by skilled devs to make the big bucks because their skill is in demand, under supplied and the future. |

chukzyfcbb: Just a word of caution to those who think the IT field is all rosy, you are in for a shocker.
for every 1 person who makes 750k there are 10 of them who is making half or lesser than that.
There are tons of guys out there with hands on skills in tech who don't even make beyond 100k. Be it in web development, Cyber security or Networking etc.
I see lots of caps in the comment section saying get this and that skill and you are on your way to big money in 1yr or 18months, that's not really true.
Sometimes it's just luck or grace whichever you call it, however one thing that's certain in life is that if you keep upgrading your self, your earning power will increase.
There are so many tech guys out there earning huge that don't really know as much as you think, it's all bout Time and chance.
Don't go into tech because you think you can blow by just learning HTML css JavaScript in 1yr or 18minhs, first you will be frustrated by the tech lessons and frustrated by the offers.
Do it because you love tech coz in this field you will Read the FVCK out! You will keep reading till your brains bleed coz tech is always advancing 
A word of caution, it's not rosy out here even with your tech skills, be wise! It's not "luck". What stands you out, is your skill set, experience and your weave of programming architecture. There are tons of programmers who just have the basic skill set (they fall in the category you described). They barely scrap through jobs because they're just basic. Just like any other job, you can't expect to just be basic and be getting tons of offers. If you're programmer who has a blend of skillset, experience, mastered prog architecture, versatile in in-demand stack, you won't be needing any luck, you'll be spoilt for choice. On LinkedIn everyday, HRs are approaching individuals with offers by just going through their profiles. There is a shortage of skilled programmers, the market is still under staffed. Andela is pivoting business models to cater for Senior devs because that's what the market needs. In Germany, there is an increasing need for experienced devs and they'll latch on you from anywhere in the world. Nigerians are been given offers week in, week out to relocate to Germany. My colleague turned down a relocation offer to Hamburg because they did not match his pay demand. They had to match his demand before he put pen to paper. How many Nigerians have such opportunities to turn down relocation offer to a first world country? Guess what? This guy I am talking about, has ALL the skillset and stack plus experience to be able to bargain...he didn't need luck. |

mvem: it has been noticed that some people don't show serious adverse effects except flu symptoms....and about 98% recover from the virus. So it is quite possible that there are carriers but having no symptoms (asymptomatic) or less symptoms. The virus is a flu virus. I feel it is actually over hyped. The average age of the deaths in Italy is 81 years. It kills mostly the very old, already sick or people with some conditions already like a weak lungs. With time the thing will be history Straight up!! |

It's difficult to test in a country where people will hardly go to any hospital for just 'flu'. I tell you...lol |

maasoap: Their "Na lie" actually means "how is this possible" in this environment with low average low salary, kind of surprise. It would have made sense if that's what they meant...then it is totally understandable and we can let them know which class of Nigerians and industry earn that much...but read through the thread and see how many are beating their chests confidently. I don't earn anything near 5 million per month but I know it's possible for people to earn that much depending on industry in Nigeria...you won't find me screaming "na lie" |

maasoap: I just hate the way some of you always shouting "poverty mentality" anytime someone expresses his or her opinion about unusual money/income of some people. The average salary in Nigeria is very very low, can't even be up to 100k per month, both private and public organisations. It has nothing to do with poverty mentality when you see someone exclaim about someone getting 750k as salary in Nigeria, it generally has to do with the fact that average salary is low in Nigeria. You can talk of poverty mentality when you buy something expensive and some people start to call you a wasteful spender and things like that You're getting it wrong. The problem is not that people who earn 50k or about are been called poor (afterall there's nothing wrong with earning that low if that's what is available)...the problem is when they hear that people earn 750k and scream "Na lie"...At that point, we remind them that poverty has dealt them a hard blow. |

SweetCunt97: Took a look at that course and nearly fell asleep... Jesus! One gotta have d brains and passion for that. Which simpler version that pays can a girl like me acquire? Lol...Programming is for those with passion. You could look at Quality Assurance or venture into pure Products management or even Product design, if you don't have the passion to write code. These fields are still classified as tech and depending on your experience and skillset, you can earn significantly decent wages (150-1,000,000+ net monthly depending on your skillset and experience) |

They will roit in America if that happens
Its because of how much to pay workers that apple is using sweat shops in China
Companies don't like paying
Talkless of paying foreigners[/s] Andela's business model is to hire senior software devs and outsource them to companies, including American firms. Mark Zuckerberg, who's American, was a lead investor in Andela. In Germany, there is a package for software engineers ( classified under Technology) to relocate to Germany. There are tons and tons of devs with high skillset, working for American, Canadian, German, British, Estonian, EU, etc from their homes in Nigeria. They are paid, the equivalent of what devs in these first world country would earn too, just that certain fees and packages (e.g healthcare) might be exempt. Devs are hot cakes and are classified as hard to fill roles, in job openings. That's the reason why we say, Tech is the new oil and gas. So your posit, is utter bullocks. |
