This is true of many skills that people talk about these days. I kinda love that about Nigerian. No field is too hard to saturate.

Do you consider data analysis to be better than web development (frontend) ?
In Nigeria, there more opportunities for a data analyst.

For a web developer, in a long run (5-15 years), you will become a global talent. But, you need to be very good at your craft.

PS: AI is a big threat to these fields. But they will remain relevant.

Jobs/VacanciesRe: What's Your Experience Like In The Labor Market? by Powersurge: 6:13pm On Feb 08, 2024
I hope my story will inspire someone here.

I finished school in 2016. Returned to Lagos, joined one insurance company. After I walked for 3 days, I called my supervisor and stop going.

Then I went to service in 2017. Alawi was never enough. I had one tablet. I started using that to do some freelance writing. The writing gave me additional 15k per month.

After service, I came back to Lagos, and applied for jobs aggressively. In about 3-4 months, I got two jobs. One was contract for 2 years (₦100k), and the other was full time ₦70k. I chose the latter, which I later regretted.

While I was working at the ₦70k company, with a lot of problems (story for another day), I started learning Python programming with my phone in pursuit of data analysis career. I got better at Python with my phone, I applied for jobs and was called. I failed 2 interviews because the tests were purely on Excel. I got rejected for the third one because their pay was ₦100k and I was asking for ₦120k minimum.

After working for two years from my ₦70k job, I got fired. I came back to Lagos with only gas cylinder and plates (because I was I was initially transferred out of Lagos). I learned hair cream making online. And started producing it with the small money I had. It was a struggle.

Couple of months later, I got a job as data analyst with ₦150k salary. Two years later, got another job as senior data analyst with ₦300k.

This is not where this story ends. But I will stop here. The journey was bloody. And it's somehow better than ₦300k now.

Am I advising anybody to go into data analyst? not really.

My pont is, see internet as the best thing that ever happened to our generation. Leverage it. I studied Agricultural Economics in university, yet I learnt how to make hair cream and other products entirely on my own through the power of internet. I learnt programming with zero Naira.

Christianity EtcRe: My Encounter With My Religious Neighbor Today by Powersurge: 3:21pm On Feb 05, 2024
immortalcrown:
Religious cancer.

They think everything is spiritual. If everything is by prayer, what is the essence of the freewill and the potentials with which God created us? If everything is by prayer, who do some people prosper without praying but many who pray and fast fail?

Prayer is very important and effective. But many African Christians misunderstand the function of prayer. Consequently, they abuse prayer by relying on God for what God already empowered them to achieve.
I don't really think religion is a cancer. Religion is good for psychology and inner peace. The challenge is it somewhat applied wrongly sometimes. And like every good thing, humans have the capacity to abuse it.
Christianity EtcRe: Should Church Instrumentalists And Singers Be Paid? by Powersurge: 9:14am On Feb 04, 2024
I played piano from 2007 to 2018. I was never paid and I did not want to be paid. because I felt if I was paid, I have already gotten my reward (my thinking).

Notwithstanding, for you to dedicate reasonable amount of time to ministry (music), you might have to let go of certain activities that might have yielded you money. While I will not advocate paying instrumentalists in church, except absolutely necessary, their welfare needs to be attended to when the needs arise.

A vibrant church is a church with a vibrant music department.

All my 5 years in school then, whenever I come home, I ensures I played throughout. Whenever I am going back, I did not received any monetary value. And I didn't solicit for one.

PoliticsRe: How Emefiele Warned Naira Would Tumble In Floated FX Regime In 2019 by Powersurge: 2:22am On Jan 30, 2024
nairalanda1:
Well, the ultimate problem with the naira has always been that NIgeria is not earning enough dollars.

We could earn more dollars by diversifying our economy, and , as former deputy CBN governor Moghalu has pointed out...by becoming a exporter of manufactured goods and services.

Emefiele was right, but as CBN governor , it was not his work to point out what needed to be done. The government then, of which this current government is a continuation, should have propounded solutions. Instead, they kept us hooked up to oyel.
The first problem 9f Naira are the politicians.

They have being doing money racketeering for over 20 years.

FamilyRe: My Dad's Driver First Child Looks Different From The Rest, I'm Worried by Powersurge: 4:50pm On Jan 24, 2024
EreluRoz:
My dad's driver son is right here in our house and he's the first child of his dad, he's totally different from the rest, he doesn't look like his dad neither does he look like his mum, there's no resemblance from both parents at all.

I stylishly dig up stories of how his mum was married because he's been driving my dad even before I was born and I was told she was already pregnant before the marriage ceremony was held and as at that time of their wedding, the woman lived in a different state, she just came and told him she was pregnant and that was how marriage happened .

I have watched this boy from head to toe so I can see at least one feature in resemblance but I didn't see anything, not even from the mom, he's just totally different. The other kids are ok, two share a striking resemblance with their dad while the last took after her mom but with some of the dad features, so are you thinking what I'm thinking?

Should I tell my dad my observation? What do you think?

What about the conversion of HND to BSc/Btech?
Why in the world should HND be converted to B. Sc?

The two serves different purposes and were created to tackle different educational and societal problems.

The problem is that 96% of Nigerians think education is for seeking jobs and earning salaries. Therefore, una dey fins equal opportunities.

SharingIsLife:
This is serious. Dang has already slipped to 2nd place on the African billionaire's table.
I have always been saying it, Naira's continuous and persistent fall is artificial and made possible by CBN & politicians.

Almost every politician of significant influence has dollar quota with CBN. Sanusi said some years ago that he could get millions of dollars from CBN with just a phone call. The racketeering is astounding. Emefiele gave Dangote billions of dollars.

When you combine that with the racketeering by banks, it's a national sabotage at the highest levels. Abacha was a Head of State for nearly 9 years, Naira did not move.
BusinessRe: $110m Fine: BATN Restates Commitment To Nigeria’s Laws, Makes Payments by Powersurge: 7:08am On Jan 05, 2024
FCCPC is a fraud and should be sued. I am beginning to think they are not representing the interest of Nigerians well.

For a company to swiftly pay $110m fine, the level of infringement must have been grave- affecting perhaps millions of people.

Why is FCCPC keeping the nature of the offence secret? How do we recognise and report such offence from other institutions?

The FG cannot punish everyone for the sins of a few people. I think they should ban Nigerians from studying in those countries, going forward.

As for now, the deed is already done. Allow current students to finish their courses or transfer them to Nigerian universities.
There is degree racketeering in Nigeria. But Benin and co are the height of fraud. There no degree you cannot get. From Masters to Ph.D. These guys work in some of loftiest places from oil company to a govt agencies.

What is the definition of various infringements?

Don't we deserve to know?

The writer was just busy beating around the bush.

If their actions or inactions have directly endangered the health and lives of Nigerians, how will the fine address that?
