Typical Yoruba Christians, this is what you say to deceive youruba Muslims, later u take all the juicy positions
Why can't Yoruba Muslim be governor of ekiti and ondo?

That is the beautiful thing about Yorubas. I'm a Christian but man grandma from my fathers' side is a Muslim.

In a typical Yoruba house, you won't be surprised to see a Muslim father and a Christian mother with the children splitting between going to church or mosque.

Yorubas are enlightened and intelligent people, we don't care what religion you do as long as you are peaceful..

The Muslims are tolerant, they allow you christains rule states dey dominate like osun, oyo and ogun but you don't even give them deputy governorship in ekiti and ondo talk More of governorship.

Naa Yoruba Christians are minority in the south west if you add kwara Yoruba then it's like 80% mozlem to 20% , Yoruba Christians are a vocal minority that seems to dominate their mozlem brothers

I disagree with your statistic. Yoruba Christians are not minority in SW. Okay, this is an analysis for you to determine which religion is the majority. Ondo and Ekiti are majorly Christian. Ondo is like 5 percent Muslim, same with Ekiti. Now to Ogun, the two dominant tribe are Egba and Ijebu. Egba are mostly Christiam while the Muslim population are found in Ijebu. The border region in Imeko are also mostly Christian. In general, Christian form the majority in Ogun.

The highest Muslim population in South West can be found in Osun state, yet the Muslim dominated region are still identifiable. Ilesha axis are 99 percent Christian. Ife region are over 90 percent Christian. Osogbo is predominantly Muslim yet there are a lot of Christian, same with Ede, Inisa, Iragbiji. These are the area populated by Muslim but when you sample the Christian population too, you find many. Of all the town in Osun, Iwo has the largest percentage Muslim. Unconvinced though, I will agree that Muslim got it in Osun but the ration isn't markedly different.

Now let's go to Oyo. Ogbomosho are Christian though you have many herbalist, apology to our Ogbomosho brothers. But any region in Yoruba land where African traditional religion predominate, you find Christian dominating. Those shrine lie side by side with church. Ibadan is the largest region Oyo yet it is a melting port of all the tribes. The traditional practices are still strong in Ibadan and I will give the majority to Christian, same with Oke Ogun area. The most Muslim dominated is Shaki and it's environ. The Christian to Muslim ratio in Oyo is like 60- 40. Christiam still predominate.

Which other state. Lagos. The indigenous tribe are in overwhelming minority though they have some Muslim population. Given this data, no way Muslim could be the dominant religion in South West. The Christian to muslim ratio is like 65- 35. Even in Kwara, when you take Ilorin and ofa out, the rest are Christian dominated. Have you heard about ECWA? It is a Christian denomination. They have the largest presence in Kwara..

Yeah it takes time to learn. If you have the plan and funds to hire someone else to do it, why not I guess

It's becoming quite a saturated market to be honest, most run of the mill and just doing it for the sake of having a job, which is fine and what most of us end up doing

And then you'll have those who are super passionate, patient, dedicated and a million miles better than the former, naturually they tend to earn the most


True. Like you said, the market is becoming saturated. But I believe if one is innovative. There's always a way to make profit.

This is exactly what I think sometimes .You're 100% accurate.

Sadly, if SARS should encounter any of them... they will be immediately suspect due to their appearance.
As an occasionally bushy-haired programmer, I can say there's remarkable freedom to think about real problems if you're not taking too long on grooming. Not that one should be dirty, but I've worn my hair bushy and face unshaved for weeks.

When people complain, I just smile and shrug because I'm in my zone - after all I'm not a banker or salesperson that needs their approval. Then they are shocked when I return from the barber because I be fyne bwoy. grin wink

When talking about sheer Human resources and brain power, give it to the West, although other regions are trying too, especially East.. infact, the south in general and some parts of MB. wink
Normally, if things were the way they should be, Southern Nigeria would be the undisputed light of the entire black race world over. Coronavirus jam our purposeless and wicked leaders. angry

Avoid trivializing every achievements. Achievement has no monopoly. We all as humans are good at something. Congratulate or codemn the person and leave the tribe out of it. Yet, you despise racism but exhibit tribalism.

Mixture of things, but mainly:
Write code to create software applications (mainly for windows), the system I work with is pretty established already so I’m not really creating anything big or exciting, I do more modifying than ’creating’ to be honest
General system testing
Documentation
Installation and integration testing
Some networking

Coding is the new oil well.

Is it really? Compared to the work programmers do & how much they earn all across the world, excluding FAANG companies & others multinationals like Uber, Lyft, SalesForce etc which is like 0.5% of total population of people who code.

I honestly believe the rest of the world are earning averagely to be honest. If you factor in the millions on Freelancer, Upwork, FIverr etc working for less pay to support their families.
