Maybe, but not always. None of these people that he mentioned in his post had serious careers abroad before they moved back to Nigeria to join and build the tech ecosystem down here. It's always funny to think that you have to leave Nigeria to be the best. People leave the country for a while and come back to Nigeria after a year acting like know everything. Meanwhile they are just using their overseas internship level exposure to bobo people who know far more than they do.

I've worked with a lot of these so called foreign developers. Trust me, most of them are not as good as people here would want you to believe. One even told me to my face that what I was building for a telecom company was not possible. I was more shocked than angry. Shocked that someone who was in such environment does not know that so many things are possible when you have deep understanding of a technology.

The only reason you'll want to go abroad is for the money and better living environment. You can get knowledge from anywhere. Indians, Chinese, Israelis and Koreans understand this and they are building training and their people at home and getting the abroad to ship jobs to their door steps.

It's all about the money!
Indian, Israel and China didnt just became tech hubs overnight. The major IT pioneers in these countries came back from the west. The current CEO of Microsoft is Indian.

You cliam to know so much....act like it.

I think a bigger issue aside skills is innovative ideas. What is our people's threshold for solving problems. These days we see so many people claiming to be developers but they don't go past designing websites. Or the latest bug which is payment platforms, we need to apply technology in agriculture, transportation, housing, management etc.

Tech is the new oil.


Someone just made millions of dollars couple of minutes ago online, all while sitting in his room.


When I see many Nigeria youths who claim to be jobless but these same youths sub data and waste all data and their lives every moment going from one celeb page to another on SM commenting on wetin no concern them. Fighting on BBN, Pessi and Penaldo etc. Wasting away everyday.

Is it not young people like you sponsoring BBN this year? Does Ronaldo even have time arguing about himself? He's always busy in gym building himself to earn more.

But Nigerians youths roam internet aimlessly everyday, wasting away but later they'll blame village people.


Many people poverty na follow come and follow go. It's a choice.
If affordable internet was available in the first place they will have enough data to pursue these courses and in some case do remote jobs. The data available to the average youth is just enough to to do those thi gs you mentioned

Of recent, have began to look the tech way..
People should stop making tech seem as if it is a very easy thing to venture into, they should enlighten people That it takes, focus, persistence and dedication to make it in the tech industry..
The way some people say it online makes it easy like a,b, c..
Wanted to go for data scientist or wetin dem dey call am, I was given a 30 question test and i failed woefully due to the fact that I am not tech savvy..
If you want to encourage people to go into tech, pls always endeavor to put it to them in a lay man's term..
Me I Don go back to the drawing board and believe me, we go gather dey chop this tech money soon..
There are so many things have built, that am building and will still build and am planning on inculcating tech in them.
LoL. Are you talking of Explore Data science Academy?

Tech is the future but our leaders are not seeing it. We have the human capacity, just a little push and our dependence on Crude Oil (whose relevance is gradually fading) as source of foreign exchange would reduce. The good thing about tech is that it will continue to be relevant till the world ends. The earlier we start harnessing our potentials the better. The other African countries are not sleeping.
[color=#006600][/color]

The leaders know exactly what they are doing, its a deliberate attempt to keep the youths poor in order to use them during elections and BMC jobs for propaganda purposes. Africa as a continent have a long way to go. Just few African countries that are making progress in tech industry.

From time immemorial, there have been crazy rulers in the world. While not dwelling on ancient times, we will restrict our documentary to just modern history

Saparmurat Niyazov
Macias Nguema
KIM Jong-IL
Etc

These are less known dictators but thier actions during thier time in power is often jaw dropping and wonderful(sic) to say the least.
Do well to comment on who, in your opinion is the craziest of them all. Thank you, subscribe, share and like the video. enjoy!!

You should be easy on Nigerian youths, they are trying. You need to also consider the fact that resources are not available to them (including electricity) and given the poor state of the economy, they can't afford these things...

I have friends who are tech savvies and are doing well in their respective fields, one is even working with Google now, but you don't want to know what they passed through to get there.


Myself, I'm a content writer, hoping to master SEO too, but I tell you what, it's not as easy and as glossy as they made it seem on YouTube.

Poverty is no 'choice', unless your claim is that people choose to be born. Most people born into poverty die in poverty, that has always been true.

Tech should be embraced by Nigerian youths but they've embraced youthful exuberance, gossip, moral decadence and victimhood instead.

They deserve every pain this government imposes on them and no sympathy whatsoever.

i never said there aren't home grown pioneers. i said major.

Also, China, Israel, India or South Korea is not Nigeria. Check the level of infrastructure and higher education in the countries, Nigeria is way behind.

People who can think dont just fall from the sky..There has to be a sound structure and good leadership.
