i'm planning on studying computer science in unilorin but it seems the public consensus is that computer science taught in nigeria university is outdated so is it worth the money and time to still study it.
I love computer science but i'm mainly doing it for the money and i'm currently learning python so is it worth going to study it in the university to get the certificate or being self-taught is better

If you are doing it for the money, then you are doing it for the wrong reasons. Yes there is presently a lot of money in Tech, but the most successful folks are motivated by things other than money.

I got into tech long ago. Many years before it started hitting the spot light locally. My motivation then (and now) is to solve problems whether I make a buck or not. I ha e done several personal projects purely for the fun of it and wanting to know how certain things work.

Yes it's worth it. You will learn data structures and systems design. If you are going in I will advise you to make leetcode your friend from day one. With even a pass degree, so long as you can solve at least half of the questions on leetcode. A multi million naira a month job is waiting for you on graduation.

Nigeria is gradually moving out of CERTIFICATE country.

Forget about tutorials for tools and frameworks focus on leetcode. DSA, systems design and competitive programming. You can learn the tools and stacks in final year. Thats what I will do if I were you.

it worth it and let me tell you something beforehand
computer science isn't about coding alone, don't go in with the thinking that you will code all through, it is not about coding alone there are a lot more to it like: Operating system, data structure, system design, digital systems and so on

My brother that is a Suicide mission, Nigerian lecturers are sadistic, wicked for absolutely nothing, full of themselves, some are never willing to lend a helping hand especially if you are doing engineering that is where you will see their height of wickedness, all because of theoretical knowledge. What is coming for them is worse than they ever thought bunch of mofos.

You can go the self thought route it is hard, rough and long enduring but if you can make it through the night there's a brighter day.

I am currently developing an app for the same school and engineering faculty for that matter. This job is money in the bank because of the calculations and features i am adding so far and I am just getting started with the app, now who is the mofo...

Lol! Laughable. Money in the bank and you are on every Nairaland Tech thread prostituting your product?

And seriously someone paid you for that UI? Really?!

I am free tonight and you I hate keyboard warriors like you, that job ad on my app is a test ad and also it is when the job ad expires to show that you don't read well, the app itself is still in development and I am posting to get people to test the app. It's mofos like you that claim to be everything and I hate people like you. I could kill you don't test me, you don't know my story and you are busy typing nonsense from behind your phone, you think I'm like other programmers I am a hard born hustler boy, I've been on the streets.

Useless piece of shit

I will eat your meat, meet me face to face and I will show you what survival has done to me in this harsh economy, I will decend all my anger on your useless face and break that useless hand you are using to type rubbish, try me if you get mind.

I'm not sure I understand what you need though. But if you are scared, or you are waiting for the right time, I beg don't. Just start.

You can also apply to Decagon if you don't mind and you have what it takes.
