This is an opportunity for the ipobs to relocate down to Lagos. Its time to learn C++, C# and java

Funny enough. 80% of the programmers that will teach are IPOBS. How ironic, you still have to learn from them because y'all daft and dumb! tongue

the programme would seek to teach at least one million Lagos residents to code by 2019 and also foster necessary skills to create sustainable solutions to social challenges and create employment opportunities.

What about the residents who already have these skills .... and experience? Many are jobless... many are working outside of their skill and many don't have access to capital to create employment. There is no shortage of coders. Why add a million more? What is the cost of this project?...the money can be better spent in other areas of education.

If 1 out of 100 of these people become a programmer, that will be a success.

You are wrong here. I have worked for about three large financial services firm, and its well known that Programmers usually dont stay long, cos there is always someone out there willing to pay more for their skills. More so, with online communities like GitHub and Fiverr, the marketplace is global for Programmers who don't mind free-lancing.With the current exchange rate, getting a freelance assignment that doesn't require much to execute for say $500 is good pay.

Point taken.... especially that once can seek employment globally and the weakness of the Naira can make one enjoy some luxuries of life while being underpaid by a Global corporation!
