That is arrant nonsense, and a reason why many Nigerian programmers are poor and remain poor. I once had that thinking, therefore I became extra good - in fact too good for my own liking (I am a web-developer that can use multiple technologies - all the way from asp, perl, php, asp.net, MEAN STACK, at the same time a software developer (whether windows/mac osx), and also with a very strong foot in native mobile application development) - all that one na just tales by moonlight, yeah, it did not help me due to that arrant nonsense thinking of - if you are good.


Yeah, even if you are good - the naija companies will offer you nonsense salary. The last company that tried to employ me wanted to pay me 100k / month.


Well, na so we see am o.

The summary of all this is that - the programmers that make money the most in Nigeria ARE NOT EMPLOYED ON A MONTHLY SALARY.

Dude is confused.
Nigeria is not yet riped for what u are thinking.
You can only get a fat pay as a salary in the developed world.Those getting good pay in.Nigeria are those working in IT dept of multi nationals,banks,paralstatals etc.
Guy ,If you are self employed and good, jobs will get to you if you know your way..What's in vogue now which you can make pay.Is designing a web portal payment links for schools,organizations and institutions and where students etc get registered and pay there fees or forms fee....If you are good and mobile.app...u make money from app sales,ads etc.

JackOfAllTrades:
Are you dismissing the fact that he doesn't need a certificate to be a good programmer, and earn more ?
someone also pointed out that he would need the cert so the company can give him chance to showcase his skills of which he will be paid monthly salary, in your last post you also said the programmers that earn money most in Nigeria are not employed on a monthly salary, which I think its true.
On the issue of certification do you think it's absolutely necessary even for freelancer or an entrepreneur
***I had to drop out from my university twice cause my computer lab was like a secrete spiritual room covered in dust* Naija style

TrishaP:

Nmeri17:
I can't believe someone would ask that isn't it as easy as ABC??

TrishaP:

But you could still be of help

Nmeri17:
the person below me on the ist post I made on this thread already did that. BTW, now we're here, shay your Oga @ ikpsucces is a programmer

losprince:
we shouldn't reveal such informations for security purposes... sorry seun but you pay a programmer by his worth.

PMIcon:

I beg to disagree, rather you pay a programmer by YOUR worth. No one can pay people for what they truly worth and that's why Seun is asking for assistance, to help in negotiation.
