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.

headboyprince:
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..

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.

Devdevdev:
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?

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 never said I sit for 12 hours straight. I said I code for 12 hours a day. This in done with regular intervals.

Your second paragraph can only be understood by the gods.

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..

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.

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

emapeteum:
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.

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

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
