I decided to stop running after money and decided to learn how to write code at the age of 30. Now I'm 37. Working as a Senior engineer earning 7 digits.

I tried learning coding, but I have been in tutorial hell...
Please what stacks did you started with...I am currently good at Html , presently learning CSS in which I will go for JavaScript.

How did you do it?

My life has been nothing short of miracles.... I lost all my life savings to scam company VGC led by Dapo Abiola back in April 2021 fast forward to August 2021 I took the bold step of resigning at my work place... (reason my mental health is so messed with) moreso I was owed a 2 month salary which was never paid till date even though they said they'll send it. Let me quickly say that I only have 2000 naira in my account and I'm owing my bank 175000 back then. Things were rough no denying that, I moved back to my mother's house she was there for me then, always giving positive words. I couldn't buy recharge card on my own and I'm the kinda person that doesn't relates my predicament with friends and family so mum still afford me with all I needed.. lest i forget I am a Graphics Artist. October 2021 my boss during my apprenticeship days called me that I should apply for a graphics artist opening at Xerox. I was invited for a test/interview as a graphic designer at Xerox XHS passed the 1st 2nd and 3rd phases final being the 4th was with the MD/CEO. My meeting with him changed my orientation about Job Hunting I realised it's not meant for me... Who ask a graphic artist what is the definition Raster, Vector, Layers and so on.... theoretically I'm not good at that. Graphics designing is all about practical which was confirmed by even their Artist then with the samples I did during the test period... as God will have it I lost the Job.... looking sad and depressed I put on a smiling face and left his office, the journey back home was so long and lonely..... I was thinking alot like going back to my former office and all that. While in the bus I remember always praying to God to make me an employer of Labour before I clock 30years I just dissed it that its never gonna happen.. I mean here's me still yet to get my bearing about life how do I become a ceo and paying staff salaries in 2years time.... Alhamdulillah God did I'll be 30 on the 28th of December and every thing I have every wished for have been granted to me I have 2 digital printing office I run to the glory of God with multiple staff and apprentices. I can say I am financially healthy to the glory of God

I have all to be grateful for, the fact I made mistakes learned, go back and re-strategize is something Great.
And at times I feel I need a better guardian, I'm young and hungry for success.
Just a guardian I could interact with daily would be of help.

With all verissimilitude, I think your invaluable and indispensible fountain and wealth of knowledge needs to drizzle on this lad, to cause a monumental shift that will ignite a swift cognitive conception in his mental reasoning towards achieving his potentials.

Thanks in anticipation.

hie. if you dont mind my asking, which close-by african country would you advise one to relocate to?

République Du Bénin. I cannot speak of any other country but Benin is quite a stable country, the laws, rules and regulations apply very much here. I do not have to worry about electricity or water. Electricity supply is 247 and portable water also. My salary is in Franc Cefa which is much higher currency now than Naira. (1000 cefa= 1800 naira)

LincolnOnyeabor:


Which African country sir if you don't mind me asking??

And do you have a Business?? Or you work?? Or you have a skill??

Benin Republic. I work as a school teacher in an English school established by a nigerian; teaching primary and secondary students.

Bénin République

Must I be good in JavaScript to make money as a frontend?

Thank you sir

Well, frontend is basically about Javascript because Javascript is the language of the browser.
You don't have to be very good in Javascript to make money, I always urge that people understand concepts instead of the syntax itself. This makes life easy for you.

I urge that after learning the basics of Javascript, dive straight into a Javascript library like angular, vue and react, this is where you now become marketable to companies. Do projects, don't be scared, do projects, this is the only way you can familiarize yourself with the concepts.

Yes, frontend is versed but you don't have to know everything. That's why we have huge community available to help you. For me, i learnt react.js, you must know react.js to work with many tech companies

I was the one who wrote about the leave ur comfort zone with my first and only moniker...good to hear how that really changed ur life.


Congrats.

With ur first and only moniker but u registered in January this year..lol, I like you

They just can't stay, because it is a lonely path to some extent

Staying power is Very important.


That's why they are not breaking through. They're used to handouts

Yes, by the time you think about how much you paid me, you will stay.

Can you mentor me ?

Sure if you are serious.

How did you do it?

You don't need to master anything as a beginner; just know that this can be done. You mustn't know the code.

For instance, if you're working with HTML and CSS and want to center a div, the important thing is to know that it's possible and the process has a specific name. These are the things you should master.

Knowing this brings you closer to your goal Next is to search for how to do it, and you will get thousands of examples.

You can't know everything because it keeps changing, so don't try.

Take JS seriously because once you learn JS, many other languages will be like modified JS. Knowing JS makes learning them pretty easy.
Grasp the basics of JS before jumping on any framework.

Bro, build projects or download people's projects, unbundle and modify them. Add and remove features etc. It helps more than any tutorial.

pls update on type of work with such salary if one should switch to the career

I'm into drinks/beer distributorship and the money I make is 10 times less but with God's I'm growing fast enough to overcome the financial deficiency in another 5 years. However, I save more money here in Nigeria than America, so I have enough to meet my needs.

Thank you for your taking out your time to explain.
I really appreciate you.

I guess one of the issue I had is trying to know all...instead of just focusing and mastering some basic concepts.

I will look for some online communities just as you have advised...Kudos

By voting Tinubu and am not regretting it his bringing the shege as expected.

damnnnn
thats great

greater works!!

i know power supply in an area is like a fore runner of economic growth in that area

i wrote something about that japa: 6 or 9

just sum questions:

1) hows the minimum wage over there? per hour?

2) hows the food prices over there? can 40% of the minimum wage cover ones feeding expenses for a month

3) what of housing?? renting, building or buying?? which would you advice?

4) have you looked into neighbouring african countries like ghana, south africa....dunno if tunisia b part but reegardless...

Tallesty1 senior man...being a while

Thanks for this, on Js...I know some vanilla Js concept...like GetelementbyID, query selector, the if and else if, writing an arrow function, alert, an object..... And the more I research I noticed it is wide...and feel like leaving coding for data analysis as I am very good in Ms Excel.

But thanks for this insight...I will act as being advised.

Kudos sir

I stopped watching TV in 2017.
My best decision ever.

I woke up one morning and decided that I'll never watch TV again in my life. I reasoned that it was a complete waste of time, so I removed my TV from the wall, called someone and asked him to pay anything he has and take it.

Within 3 weeks, I realized I had so much time to think, which is something I prefer to do.

Within a month I started writing a book.

I enrolled in an online university and studied hard. Within that period I thought deeply about Christianity and religions, I researched the history of Christianity and I stopped believing in Jesus.

That's when I became free indeed and my third eyes opened.

Please suggest an online university for me, I want to register also

vannessa7:
The best decision I ever made in my life is to revert to Islam, it's the best thing that happened to me. After giving my all in Christianity and more and darkness refused to leave me alone, darkness nearly swallowed me up, I lost everything and at my lowest ebb I received a powerful revelation which led me into Islam, it was so powerful that I had to be convinced it was God, nothing else could convince me there is God in Islam, I hated Islam, but I have since found out the peace being talked about in Islam is for the individual person in Islam, you find rest from all satanic warfare, I also found out the violence and terrorism some Muslims display is due to sin, either sin of the terrorist or sin of their victims just like God deals with Israel in the wilderness and is still manifesting now. Islam makes you walk close to God which means you cannot afford to do anyhow because God is too holy to behold iniquity, but many Muslims deceive themselves living without the consciousness that anytime you go to pray you are in close proximity with God and there is no grace to cover you as it obtained in Christianity, what you have is holiness because you are brought close to the throne of God the price you pay for that is to live a different life from the masses but they continue in sin therefore God gives them up to a reprobate mind and they begin to do what is not befitting like suicide bombing when Quran specifically stated that any one that commits suicide will go to hell.

Most Muslim settlement are strict because the sin of one person can bring the anger of God on the entire populace, Saudi Arabia residents celebrated Halloween for the first time last year and what followed is a massive flooding that has never been experienced before.

Anyway, accepting Islam has made my life to be free from satanic onslaught and bondage, 7 years now and I regret all the years I spent struggling in Christianity, Christianity is not for everyone because as sweet as grace is it will allow the devil and every enemy to stay in a Christian life because the christian carry a gentle spirit, the spirit of Jesus, which gives grace for the evil person to continue being evil and still come to the house of God perhaps one day he will repent so the idol powers and familiar spirit etc troubling that person has no compulsion to leave and even if you learn to bring down the holy spirit which is the power of God, they will just leave for a while and come back soon because of grace in Christianity whereas the devil run at the presence of Islam. Just saying Allah!! and the devil and it's agents disappear. Alhamdulilahi Minal muslumin.

Them de talk better things , diz one de bring in Islam , religion of peace , terrorism and bombing 😒😒😒

Kingjbase:



Can you enlighten me a little about crypto. I need real life experiences. Not from google or fraudsters.

It will sound like scam but you will pay and I will show you the way. However, I am not there yet, but I know the way. Patience is needed any ways but highest 4yrs

Switching from Bet9ja to Sportybet.

Since then I've never looked back.

Come see the big big odds wey I dey enjoy from sporty plus the speed of light cash out.

Something that is not possible at all on bet9ja. Upon that, Bet9ja still come dey very very stingy for dia odds

Very useless bet company, I no no how them take hold Nigeria ransom. Sporty is way more better than that nonsense.

When you sow you must reap.
But when you sow and you don't reap, instead all your investments hits rock again and again to the extent that those that you would never have imagined can look you straight in the eyes start coming up to you to redicule you.
Life dey hard who them dey pray for not to talk of who them curse.
We all get to die someday so why not take the bull by the horn and dawn all consequences and just simply turn your back on those people around you that make your world.
Not all of them may be bad but since you can't differentiate from who is and who is not then it's better you simply walk out of them all.
Believe me when I tell you that the person wey dey find your downfall cannot harm you if he or she cannot see you to manipulate your success.

Well sha it worked for me with lots of prayers

Sense no go kill you, you are really talking with first hand experience.

Well I tell you to mind your business in 2024....

Accept the fact that you erred , take correction and change your minset .
Be humane , if you can't render help because you feel everyone is a Scammer or ingenuine , don't discourage others from helping or shaming the needy ,,,, your words may be the last straw that breaks the back of the Camel and lead the person to commiting suicide ..


He whose palm nuts were broken by a benevolent spirit should remember to stay humble.

Everyone plans his life everyday but life may in turn plan us , don't feel you know it all , Table de turn .
