Peterpan007: For someone who started coding in September you talk to much.
Nigerians teach coding online be it on Twitter or YouTube. There's a guy that teaches CSS with pidgin I think his name is @doubletank or so. Agba Akin has been teaching coding since last year on Twitter.
She didn't begin coding in September. It's the other one who did.
As for the topic, there are some really good Nigerians teaching on YouTube with their Nigerian accents and no cameras.
stop that.. indians are not better off than nigerians in terms of electricity and standard of living. but because the people are serious, they achieved a lot and way ahead of nigeria in coding.
like you said most nigerians are only concerned about what they'll eat hence feel learning anything complicated is a waste of time, they'll rather get into scams to make quick money..
Indians are far better off when in comes to electricity and standard of living, India has steady electricity, stop talking rubbish just to support your yeye opinion. Programming isn't that difficult, most Nigerian science graduates can easily learn it if given the basic things they need, coding isn't harder than a semester in Engineering/maths/physics and the likes
If your brain is dead nothing can wake it, I get lesser times to practice my programming because there is no stable electricity at where I'm staying but believe me the little time there's power I make do of it and I can tell you python no longer scares me. If I finish programming just now I'm watching movie straight , it help my brain to relax. I will be building my portfolio soon.
KrazyDave16: OP your negativity concerning Nigerians is worrisome and some of your comments get as e be. Also deleting Twitter? Hmm...
I doubt your claims about zero educational material out there by Nigerians unless you are looking for ones to get for free, which you will not find easily but in terms of writing, there are educational articles littered about on the web written by Nigerians but it depends on what you are looking for and how popular the language is. After all, I learnt how IIFE works (did not know about design patterns then) from reading a few articles on medium written by Nigerians but if you meant those who turned into a full-time gig, if you see any, will you patronize them and pay for it? If you cannot or use the "but i know where i can get what they teaching for free", you creating this thread is pointless.
What else do you suggest I do? Spend hours taking photos updating my status every 30 minutes? Go on Twitter and argue all day about bullshit? Or maybe prostitute my body on social media for thirsty guys like you to feast on?
Devdevdev: 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.
I actually own a blog on programming and I few months ago had to delete TikTok off my phone, hardly have time for WhatsAPp and most Social apps. What's next is to just get Instagram off my phone.

You are right.... When you want things easy you will surely face difficulty... But if you want difficult things, you will find life easy.
TastyFriedPussy: I totally agree with you on this. I can't count how many times I've gone on YouTube to search for Nigerian programmers YouTube channel. I'm not talking about Nigerian programmers living abroad ohh. Even the little ones you get to see barely post anything related to programming, it's all about lifestyle and money...
I just want to calm down and learn my C++ and DSA well enough and do some competitive programming before I go into backend dev. I hope to be the William Lin of Naija that guy na my motivation and one of the reasons I fell in love with programming... I've set down at least 7 years to achieve these goals..
Don't bother with C++ anymore or at least not as your primary language as it's been dropped even by it's last set of major users like OS developers. Memory and buffer overrun issues making c++ very vulnerable in the current cyberspace full of attackers. Microsoft will not build their next OS on c++ and other such developments too. You can review Rust or Carbon as possible replacements. In anything you do make sure you add python
OP there's no limit to the number of times you will be blessed for this masterful observation some of us old folks have always talked about. Even the African Americans suffer exactly what you just said. You see the Blackman does everything possible to avoid deep contemplation hence the resort to fanfare, jolly etc. Even in America you hardly find African Americans in tech, all they blab about is race issues, entertainment, this, that, nothing concrete, and the white people keep looking at them. There's this very sensible black girl called Candace Owens who has railed and railed about these issues but the black folks can't even tolerate her. My brother just do your stuff and forget about the black society is full of crap. There's no country that made it to advanced economy based on entertainment export, it is only 1 thing and that is tech. 200 Davidos can never have the impact of one Paystack, one Chinedu Echeruo etc. I'm tired of black people

After corruption and bad leadership, Nigerian parents are the next cause of Nigeria's problem today. They are all myopic, close-minded and very naive. Their thinking is stuck in the 1980s and 1990s.
While I was growing up, almost every Nigerian parent wanted their kids to be either doctors or lawyers. The two most useless professions in this country. Which Nigerian parent had the foresight to see that computer science would be as usefully as it is today? Still even today, they are still blinded to this fact.
Computer science was so easy to get then, yet it was frowned upon, and tagged as a course for people who weren't smart enough to get into medicine, law or engineering. But today it is the most valuable course anyone can study. I swear if I could go back in time I'll apply for computer science in Unilag just after finishing secondary school, then get a laptop and start coding from day one.
I had A1 in mathematics at O level. I wanted to study computer science, my father opposed it. He said I didn't need to go to a university to study it, something people learn on computer school (early 2000s). I studied something else and licked my wounds later.

Last last na wig you ho sell for I.G
Quote me if you still own a laptop to code by September next year.
All these depressed people going about looking for people to cast their low and negative dark lights upon....
If you need help seek for it, don't go about throwing tantrums like a baby rat!
You called Nigerians lazy? You that couldn't complete a university education? A drop out like you U must be joking fot real!
If u must code 12 hours in a day then u failed before starting....

There is no place in indian that has 24 hours electricity.
10 years ago indian was the poverty capital of the world and way worse than Nigeria but they still produce programmers 10x better than Nigeria programmers.
Nigerians are just naturally unserious...
tell me how a country that crack a lot of jokes, play too much, and eat heavy food will be good in coding

Not just coding, Nigerians hardly engage in educational activities on youtube. Most of the tutorial videos that help most of us to be where we are today are foreign videos, especially Indians. We are so proud with little on the global stage except being Dr and graduating with a first-class but real intellectual activities are often ignored by Nigerians. Our PhD students also engage in local research work and not the highly challenging research that would lead to having videos online.

From this Statement, i can Understand your Aim for the Post.

This is a Nigerian who teaches coding on YouTube. Below is a 4 hours video on C Programming.
Search and you shall find. I think Nigerians feel inferior and will prefer to learn from a foreigner than their person.
Check other coding tutorials in the same channel by the same Tutor.

I suppose you are still a child who have enough time and still leaves with his mama, you are being fed and clothed, you don't worry about rent, that's why you can come here on nairaland to call Nigerians lazy, there are tons of programmers in Nigeria. I know this because I am a programmer too, but I don't judge people who cannot learn, I've tutored students on programming in the past and I tell you that there are so many factors that affect their learning curve, most of my students who do well are the ones with no responsibilities, undergraduate students and corpers
I don't expect you to understand, I think you are still a kid.

I wanted to ridicule you when you mentioned how you practically quit social media just because you want to focus on programming but I must confess you changed my mind with your conclusion.
Truly, so many Nigerians are just lazy.
They'd rather sit one place and blame Buhari for everything that is wrong with their lives from morning till dawn rather than do something worthwhile with their time.

Thanks for these wonderful writeup sir. I have been wanting to become a programmer but yet to find a person that can coach me. I have a window 10 i5 HP laptop that I don't even use, I bought it purposely for internet skills like this. Can u mentor me sir
, it help my brain to relax. 
madam chill na
U must be joking fot real!
