(1)Why do you want to learn maths?
(2)Online or offline?
You location if offline.

online


my son has developed great interest in mathematics , I do my best to give support , he is in basic 4 now..but as u know the higher he goes ,the more difficult it becomes . but I don't want the zeal to die

Integrafamoo:

I did, but they are people with wrong mentality. Most Ekiti people believe so much in acquisition of certificates

Come on, and you have started regretting going for MSC?

This is just a phase that will soon pass away.
Trust me, when the right opportunities come, you will be grateful you did.

When Opportunity meets Preparation what you Get is ASTOUNDING SUCCESS.

Relax.
Keep hoping
Keep trusting God
He will make all things good.

Tell yourself great thins before going to bed daily.
Ensure you keep searching and applying for opportunities online.
The scriptures says , do not be weary in doing good. Don’t get tired. Don’t get weary. Don’t complain.
Be appreciative.

My bosses wife was forcing me to Bleep her.
I finally did, i was sacked 3 months later when the husband found out.
He almost shot me
ThankGod for the wife. She gave me plenty of money and a car. I still bleeped her two times more before relocating abroad.
My pay then was 232k.
I don repent now sha
God don forgive me.

FreebiesGRAM:
I accessed the server I created for my organization out of office and that was it.

@ op What area of IT are you into?

For 2 months I was still consulted to train the new IT guy

One mans woe is another mans blessing. Some organizations r so difficult.

chukzyfcbb:

ofcourse, we all know someone who got whipped up from linkedln or somewhere abroad, it's not a news flash.

And yes if one keeps upgrading himself like I said, you stand to earn higher income. it's simply means you are more valuable than before.

However the notion I am reading here that if one picks up some scripting languages in 18months he can be on his way to 500k or 750k is far from reality. That sentence cuts across a very small data set in nigerja.

Success takes Time and Hardwork and that's my message.

Not to forget that some of these programmers or IT guys who earn close to 1million or more don't always know as much as you think they know.

They are not really the Ronaldo's of the industry or the Messis in the coding ecosystem in the country, some just found grace/luck to be at that position.

Bro guys are out there hungry and armed with skills waiting for the breakthrough that will land them these big bucks

Put them side by side with some of these programmers earning 1million and above and they will crunch them for dinner with knowledge.

And it cuts across other IT fields too not just programming.

Life isn't always white/black, it isn't always 1+1 = 2.

However I still maintain the fact that if one keeps advancing his knowledge in RELEVANT FIELDS that are in demand overtime he will hit the top

But it may take time and not as quick as most people are painting it to be (1yr/18mnths)

That's my point sire.

You are absolutely right! My last line manager is a perfect example. Dude earning $2200k per month and doing not so much. Developers are resigning because they felt he is earning so much while the coders who are doing the main job are earning far less. I left too.

Mrshape:
OK contact me via messenger. Ifada Micah

ok

betterpikinn:

I guess you're referring to 750k per annum because I don't know any oyinbo firm that pays that much for a bsc or MSc holder, except if you're only deceiving yourself sha.
ALL for internet attention...

Are you for real?
Please don’t be limited.
Knowledge is power.
People earn way higher than that here in Naija.

My advice: get better. Up your skill set. Be highly marketable.
In no time 1m/month will be like nothing.

vickthorious:
oh ok thanks..but how would i keep track of it
is it posted on their website or how? sorry for the questions

Most of this opportunities are advertised online.
They are also pasted on notice boards at the faculties/departments in different schools.

Make it a duty to always check notice boards every week.
And be a voracious reader.
Checking forums and sites online for such opportunities.

NAIRALAND is also a good place to get such info too.

In addition, newspaper publications is another good source.
In those days guardian & punch newspapers used to be the go-to newspaper for such info.
There are specific days of the week for such publications.
It used to be Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday in some cases.

Also Keep a circle of informed friends. They are always in the know and they would share it amongst themselves.

Good luck.

Alphaman007:

Real story or not bro.. 40k is still too small as salary

True.
Even as at 2010 I was earning 60k
And I felt like I was cursed.
This is 10 years after.
We are definitely not where we were then but certainly not where we hope to be.

The journey continues.
God help us. We will make it las las.

Thanks to God for where we are now.

chukzyfcbb:
Just a word of caution to those who think the IT field is all rosy, you are in for a shocker.

for every 1 person who makes 750k there are 10 of them who is making half or lesser than that.

There are tons of guys out there with hands on skills in tech who don't even make beyond 100k. Be it in web development, Cyber security or Networking etc.

I see lots of caps in the comment section saying get this and that skill and you are on your way to big money in 1yr or 18months, that's not really true.

Sometimes it's just luck or grace whichever you call it, however one thing that's certain in life is that if you keep upgrading your self, your earning power will increase.

There are so many tech guys out there earning huge that don't really know as much as you think, it's all bout Time and chance.

Don't go into tech because you think you can blow by just learning HTML css JavaScript in 1yr or 18minhs, first you will be frustrated by the tech lessons and frustrated by the offers.

Do it because you love tech coz in this field you will Read the FVCK out!
You will keep reading till your brains bleed coz tech is always advancing

A word of caution, it's not rosy out here even with your tech skills, be wise!

A very succinct point. Everyone thinks IT skills automatically leads to financial success and that picture is painted everywhere. In a firm in Lagos that advertised for Mid-level developers, they received tens of more applications than the positions available. Some who started IT programs are later burned-out and even turned to other careers. From experience and as it's true of other profession the best is not always hired. It's the demand for coding that's justifies the high earnings, and if the earnings are the motivating factor for anyone going into it...the chances of success becomes minimal.

Martinez39s:
Shut up! Do you know me? How could you possibly know that I can't look a girl in the eyes if you have never met or known me personally?

Let me tell you something woman: women are just human beings and they are not special, or the best thing to happen since slice bread. There is nothing special, classy, or glorious about female humans that I can't look them in the eye. You women are just MERE human beings like men and there is nothing special about you people. What is the worst that could happen if I look a woman in the eye? Will she kill me? Do I, like the pathetic ones called simps, glorify and pedestalise women to extent that any contact or conversation with them is such a big deal or privilege? Nah! You women ain't śhit.

You women overestimate yourselves and I blame the worthless simps that put you women on a pedestal and make you feel like the best thing to happen since slice bread. Women ain't śhit, and their pùssy ain't śhit

I think your software will return debugging error, wrong syntax because of grammar.

Fortunately programming has nothing to do with English or grammar.
Once you know your syntax you are good.
Programmers no dey code grammar sir .

Obviously you still dey village. Oga Google about CrossOver and ask around. That 750k na the salary of an L1 support engineer in Crossover

Odingo1:
This story look like a lie, so many loopholes

After offering 750k job for Naija

SlimBrawnie:
The viewing keeps increasing rather than reducing. To think I read each page. Kai. May God answer the prayers of those still searching.

Happy birthday.

Omoluabi9:
Happy birthday.

Aww, this is really thoughtful. Thank you so much. I appreciate.

CokeBar:
Share your experience with us if you have ever been fired. It would be better if we can share:

1. Why we were fired?
2. How did the firing process happen?
3. Aftermath of being fired… how did you feel, have you recovered, did you get something better?

So, I’ll start:

Sometimes last year, I got an unbelievable offer (well above #750k) at a remote company. I bought a PC, subscribed for large data and set-up a workspace. On Monday which was resumption day, I turned on my PC, logged in and started the online meeting… everything went well for the first day and I got introduced to my colleagues. My friend and I actually got employed for same position, so we usually chatted while working. To be onboarded, we had to install a productivity monitoring tool on our PCs, we were told everything we did on the PC would be captured if the tool was turned ON but I really don’t know why I cared less.

On Wednesday same week, we had a short and simple test, during the test, I asked my friend for an answer as I wasn’t so sure, he responded and that was it.

On Thursday, I had a quick one-on-one call with my manager, I was fired. Apparently, I wasn’t supposed to ask for assistance while taking the test. I apologized but the answer was a straight NO (you sabi how oyinbo people strict). So in other words, I was sacked because I cheated ☹.

Well, they paid me for the few days I worked �

I have experienced other sad situations, but this has to be the worst. I was so depressed, the following Sunday, I went to Church and it was while Pastor asked us to greet our neighbor, I remembered I didn’t brush… LMAO.

Now, I got something with abit lesser pay but still very chilled

Thanks for sharing..I will love if you can help out with useful link best sites to apply for remote jobs..by the way, I'm also into IT though not a programmer but good in Networking and Security, Data Analytics, web designing and an expert in designing PowerPoint presentations. Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

After my Industrial training in a tech company which i only spent 11 months,my friend and i decided to go ahead and apply for Internship again in a bank to spend another one month before going back to school.

With no connection i topped the aptitude test and my friend came second. We were invited for interview which we passed.They were only looking for two people so they picked us. Two weeks into the job,the[b] ogas [/b]at the top didn't confirm our employment because all their candidates were not picked. Different staff members kept asking us how we got in and always have this surprise look when know we'd no connect in the bank.


To cut the long story short,we were told to leave that our IT letter is about to expire and we should go back to school. A close boss that really like us explained the whole thing to us that we topped the list of candidates for the job and they wont allow us to stay because they want their own candidates. They brought in two people to replace us and they all have family members working in the bank.


We left after two weeks.

Nigeria and Nepotism(5&6)

PaulSimon2020:
The problem is that lots of Nigerians lack viable, marketable and employable skills. Even in US here, you see lots of them driving Uber up and down or doing scams when you can be making a killing legitimately. The educational systems in Nigeria need to be overhauled else that country will not develop. They keep junking out thousands of half-baked idiots graduates that add nothing to the economy, year in, year out!

but uber still pays them naa.

Or what would you have them do?

Bizibi:
what about 2million or 6 million a month.nigerians don't talk about such things and one major problem in Nigeria is information.

There are people who do deals worth billions,I know of a man that rejected a 1.5b a month offer to lease his land out to an investor,you might think it is impossible but it happens in Nigeria.

1.5 billion on land lease monthly?

Are you okay?

zoezoelogistics:

Amen.

While you are waiting for that good job, my dear try to raise cash as little as 50k.

What for?
You are about to start a journey into the world of no more lack.
Just do a little market research on Facebook or online: use the following niche: fashion(clothing , shoe, bag), health (waist trainer, slimming tea, flat tummy, skin toner, teeth whitener) etc the list is endless. Please do a good research so you can identify hot in demand products. Make a pick and then boom start your online business.

Go online:
Use AliExpress, register , search well for good seller with a good price and good reviews
Buy like 30k worth of product.

Use the rest to do ads and campaign.
Facebook campaign, Social media campaign etc

If you have enough resources you can register a domain.
Then you can develop a sales page or landing page - which talks about your product. Add a payment processor, then start promoting this page on Facebook or anywhere online.

Please if you don’t have the resources, just do an attractive sales copy with a link to your WhatsApp or tg group where prospective customers can get to communicate with you to place their order.
Yours is to follow up and fulfill that order.

Note:
No one is giving you a guarantee of 100% success rate.
But what I can guarantee you is that you will add to your knowledge in the process, you will push yourself in the process , you will learn the art of trading through e-commerce in the process, and most importantly if heaven smiles on you your products will be hotly demanded for and you will be in money.

Please ensure you follow up your prospects and keep the testimonies as this will help drive more sales.
Try to satisfy your customers.
Never be tempted to scam anyone.
There is so much resources and wealth to be gotten online. Don’t mess it up.
One satisfied customer will get you 10 more.


Note:
It’s my first time out on this journey too.
I have learnt so much in the process.
I am no more where I used to be.

Less I forget, China is our primary source of supplies. With the current challenge posed by Covid-19/Corona Virus, there is a little slow down now.

Rugged guys like us are not deterred,
We are still buying and selling.
Delivery might be slow tho.
This is just for your additional knowledge.

Good luck.

This is a good one, but do you know that for a waist trainer sold 10k at Aliexpress, you could get it for 2 to 5k at 1688.com? You make more money buying from 1688 if you know how to use it. If you don't know how to buy in Chinese sites, pchat me for a link of a good trainer. He trains for N2,500 and still adds you to his telegram where there are several thousands of other sellers to hold your hands. For sharing your aliexpress info here, I will reply your pchat and give you the link. Cheers!

Note , you can buy from China, Vietnam, USa etc. That guy trains for all that.You can ask questions on that telegram b4 u make purchases so that other sellers will advise on any cheaper source or bad review. For eg, you don't go buying hair on that site cos most hair there are 'sponge.' There are other sources of good hair.

Why we were fired?
I joined this company last year, few days after finishing my NYSC, they have the highest number of software developers in Africa and I was loving life, the salary is great with breakfast and lunch

They keep on employing so many software engineer with time the engineer become more than the available job, I saw it coming but I don't know what the board was thinking

2. How did the firing process happen?
We have a global (online) meeting which people are asked not to miss, I was not even listening very well to what they are saying, the president said there are more developer than engagement to they have to let some people go, a mail was sent to all impacted people and I discovered what has just happened

Almost 400 people has been fired across Africa

3. Aftermath of being fired… how did you feel, have you recovered, did you get something better?

The company is actually a great one, they brought in pychologist to speak with us, bring in different recruiter, and other stuff, most importantly the payoff was reasonable that I can afford a Mac laptop of almost half-a-million

Luckily for me I got another reasonable job in less than 3 weeks of been retrenched


I always laugh when people complain there is no job in Nigeria, less than 5 month after leaving my previous company I have turned down almost 4 other offers some even paying than my current one


I so much saw the retrenchment coming that I once created a similar thread as this https://www.nairaland.com/5352267/why-how-loose-last-job

Pls would like to get more acquainted with u. am in my finals in uni.

Pls ya digit

Apart from IT, I see many medical doctors earning 60k to 80k. My sister was even paid 40k after her youth service in a private hospital and the hubby wanted her to continue working there cos it was close to the house till my mum got angry. Was it because of 40k that millions were spent on her in medical school? Fast forward, she was pushed to get a federal government job and now she earns better.
Why will you earn 200k as a medical doctor when you can write PLAB exam and go and work in UK? Fortunately, UK and Nigeria syllable is the same, so if you really know what you did in school, why won't you pass? Do you know how much medical doctors are paid in UK? Even if you don't like UK? What of Saudi Arabia?
It pains me seeing how doctors have to lobby and beg to be admitted so that they can train as consultants, while another country is begging for doctors to come?

Bro please I would like you to guide me. I just began reading an ebook on HTML5 and JavaScript. I've got a laptop but erratic power supply have been an hindrance. I've tried using those Bet9ja shops in my area but that place isn't conducive for learning.

I'm very interested in learning programming and would like to please be under your guide. I'm a complete JJC in the field and I would like to network with people that have been in the game for a long time.

If there's one thing I've learnt from this thread it's that the poverty in Naija is real. Poverty also starts as a mindset.

Mid Level Software Developers earn around 250-400k in Nigeria. Seniors earn 500k upwards, in fact sometime last year there was a vacancy in Lekki and the Salary was between 800k - 1m.

If you work remotely for a foreign company as a senior and you're good, you can even hit 1.5m monthly.

Before you try to argue, I've been in this industry for the past seven years.

If you want to be like this get a laptop and start learning how to code.
