I will, when I've mastered it enough to impart the knowledge into someone else.

When you've mastered it enough you'll probably be busy working and making money with it, that’s why a lot of people don’t do it

It takes time and extra skills to produce quality content and build followers and start earning money on YouTube in the face of competition out there

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.

Programmers are scarce in Nigeria but that doesn't give you the opportunity to start saying trash about Nigerians.

When did you start to learn coding?, you will see many articles written by Nigerian programmers online

Go to freecodecamp and see several articles written by Nigerians.

You are wrong. I am currently participating in the Applied Data Science Lab conducted by World Quant University and Nigerians make up the highest proportion of participants in that programme. This is a fact. Nigerians are extreme people. Whatever they do, good or bad, they take it to the extremes. From corruption to coding, Nigerians are at the forefront. From ritual killing to bagging 5.0 CGPA Nigerians nor dey carry last. Perhaps the Nigerians you have spent most of your time knowing are ritualists and yahoo folks. Perhaps you want to step out of your circle.

Nigerians as a people are natural con men, regardless of tribe. And they usually want to be rich not just comfortable, and they instinctively know that suffer head legit jobs are no way to get rich - but they usually end up playing themselves!

Fast money isn't in programming or tech, Nigeria loves quick money

Truth is bitter, but it must be told

Yahoo is very very hard, time consuming and involves ritual yet most Nigerians prefer that to tech jobs

A good C++ developer would train constantly for over a year before you can get a tech job

Freelance sites are not even helping Nigeria as once you tell them you are Nigerian they label you a scammer or price you low

I once approached a school with a software proposal and the price offer was just ridiculous

Whogohost in Lagos was recruiting Web Developers and I was there.. only to get the offer letter with salary less than 50k and crazy work hours.. how will anyone survive on such

So someone deleted her social media and sat down on a chair to learn coding for 12 hours.

What a way of destroying your youth.

Nigerians are lazy because you can sit down on a chair to type repetitive codes for hours cheesy

After wasting your time, you won't still be a top programmer, highest highest na to go queue up for freelancing sites like others.

We have lazy people all around the world. I get the message you are trying to pass across however, the delivery isn't well structured. I have seen some DS and SD videos from Nigerians on Udemy. Also, I watch lotsa movies and have time for family and other necessary social activities and I still kicked ass in the different bootcamps I got accepted into. FYI, I just got accepted into the Bertelsmann X Udacity scholarship program.
Cheers to success.

I don't agree. Lots of Nigerians make videos on YouTube and social media. Just type Amazon KDP or fake paypal or anything related to money. Videos choke. One Nigerian YouTuber even did a two hour video on how to plagiarize books and publish on Amazon.

You will almost never see Nigerians making videos on coding. I'm not even talking about long ass 6 hour videos on "Java for beginners" Just ordinary short videos on tech stack a beginner should learn, or how to do use a technology like axios or even ordinary vscode. You will never see this kind of video from Nigerians. All you see is skits, get rich quick schemes and showoff(money for guys, body for females)

The resources are there, there is just no market for it. Those articles you read aren't from social media are they? And even if so, they are particularly targeted to those already in the field as opposed to the general public.

An average Nigerian doesn't truly want to teach others the process of succeeding in any endeavor. Only a few Nigerians in the diaspora have a different mindset.

The average black man thinks when he teaches others, they will become richer or better than him

Re: Why You Hardly See Nigerians Teaching About Coding On Social Media. by Bimffo(m): 2:00pm On Dec 16, 2022
The reason why you won't see a lot of Nigerians staying in Nigeria on social media teaching coding is because WE MUST SURVIVE FIRST.

Let me give you a theory. The main amenities you need to become a successful programmer are LAPTOP, MOBILE DATA, and ELECTRICITY.

Lets say you got money and got a good laptop, then there is epileptic power supply, you need to buy gen and fuel it everytime. Then we have the issue of Mobile data, where you have to subscribe 10k naira in a month.

if no one is sponsoring you, how do you want to cope when there is no work, because from your post, you said, you stare at the screen for 12 hrs+, i.e. You don't have any other thing you are doing, just coding.

Now lets talk abt food. You cant learn anything or do anything in hunger. You want to learn or teach coding alone, you must have started earning from coding, because when hunger catches you, ommmoooorrr, walahi, you no fit get your bearing.

It's lame to think the lazier people are, the better for you. It's good when you encourage more people to learn with you, tech brings so much innovation and the likelihood of more people being able to innovate or make cool stuff make the society better.
That's why you see tech companies teaching people about their framework.

JavaScript is the most popular and versatile, tell him to start from there to become a front end developer

He can learn everything from Freecodecamp.Org

https://www.freecodecamp.org/news

After JavaScript he can learn Html and CSS and after that he also need to learn one of JavaScript framework, Node.Js, React,Vue. Js, or Angular to become a front end developer.

After becoming a front end developer he can start his journey to become a backend developer to and then become a full stack web developer
