Its not easy but with seriousness anybody can be one. I used to be a mechanic before I became a programmer. The only barrier is getting a laptop which is a huge problem for a lot of people but once you have that and put in the time, you will succeed.

deavicky:
this is the first problem we blacks or particularly Nigerian are having. We tend to study for the wrong reasons. Your drive for any course you study shouldn't be money. You should have passion for what you study, to use it to impact society or ur environment not to Money. if money is ur problem, then I tell u it's a waste of time putting about 15 years of ur time in school for the purposes of making money at the end. Why not use that time to go into business.
This wrong reason for going to school is what is making lawyers roaming the streets without work, other graduates go to learn tailoring after school.

Yeah 1 million a month is just 2000 dollars which you can get via remote jobs now. Medicine is good but not to practice in Nigeria. The best thing a doctor can Do Is to write foreign exams and japa after studies. My mom is a doctor presently doing her residency and she earns just 200k. I with less than a year of programming experience earn more than two times her monthly salary. If my mom was a doctor in the USA of course only very few programmers can match what she earns. The best thing doctors can do now is to japa but to even japa you need money and government has stopped paying salaries for housemanship.

On this forum particularly, I've seen people being discouraged outrightly against studying medicine, especially those who are already in higher institutions but wish to change to MBBS or those who have been writing utme for years.

Honestly, the medical doctors I see around me are well to do..like they have high financial buoyancy.

If everyone learns programming or coding,who would need the service anymore?
It's better to secure a realistic future than live in the realm of assumption.

Can I learn programming from you Please

Medicine is not a bad course neither is it a useless course but Nigeria has rendered the profession hopeless. Like I said government has stopped paying housemanship doctors. As of 2005, a housemanship doctor could afford to buy a car and build a house. Salaries then when converted to dollars were around 2000 USD but now you have resident doctors earning 400 USD and consultants earning 1000 to 1200 USD. A lot of people talk about private practice but there's hardly any money there now. If you think I am lying, you can make research with private hospitals. People don't have money to treat themselves so they prefer to go to quacks and chemists except you have the resources to set up a practice in high brow areas like ikoyi or lekki.

Most doctors in other states arent even paid. Abia state has been owning doctors for around 2 years now. Programming only pays in Nigeria because of the opportunity to tap into the global economy. Working for Nigerian companies is horrible but even the salaries at Nigerian companies are much higher than what doctors earn.

Medicine pays if you can relocate. It's not easy for a programmer in the USA to match a doctor's salary. Even senior developers at FAANG companies do not make up to what doctors make at all.

Joshmuch:
U sure say na programming you wan learn? Or you wan connect?

please I have a question, does one need a university degree to be a successful programmer?

You don't but it helps to have a degree. Any degree of any grade even a pass grade.

Interesting, but yes some programmers in Nigeria earn $5000 / month, it is not a MYTH. But of a truth, many programmers, majority earn <100,000 naira per month.

There are more broke programmers than broke doctors here in Nigeria.

shiffynaani:

I can be of help

tensazangetsu20:

I don't teach o. To be honest everything you need is online. It's how I learnt too. It's how most people learn.

Masturbator2020:
I suggest you go to where you will be given certificate. I am presently doing my full stack development in Ghana. And jobs are everywhere here once you complete the full 6months course.

Ajibade123:
how would you say MBBS is getting useless
it only people that miss MBBS in jamb that would say that

though in terms of salary and money, Nigeria isn't appreciating at all. The doctor here receiving 300k per month will receive $2500 per month easily there
and mind you qualified medical doctors don't look for job rather jobs look for them whether abroad or here in Nigeria

NaijaOlosho:


Okay share me materials or how i am to get started.

What I need as a beginner and how to get started
