₦airaland Forum

Earlier I asked in this forum if I should relocate or establish a start-up based on my situation. I got a lot of genuine advise for both options. It was really an eye opener. You can read about it here https://www.nairaland.com/7181099/should-relocate-work-remotely-developer

First I want to thank all the people that shared their opinion:

These guys were awesome. After I carefully went through these feedback and putting other factors into consideration I decided to stage a start-up here in Nigeria.

I have come to the conclusion that if I get the start-up right, it can take me to any part of the world.

My resolution is:

1. To build a start-up that can scale globally
2. To build a start-up that can attract at least $2Million pre-seed investment
3. To start small and scale bigger in a short span
4. To launch my start-up in early 2023
5. To get all relevant licenses and legal backing

To begin, I plan to join the Founder Institute (https://fi.co/) Lagos Fall 2022 to accelerate my start-up and boost my chance of getting funded. Although the $399 application fee is a bit high.

I can also use all the help I can get. I want to assemble one of the best team in terms of the governing body, developers and staff.

I am currently looking for a few Nigerians who are experienced in the following fields to join my team:
1. Flutter Engineer (2 persons)
2. Python Backend Engineer (2 persons)
3. Node.js Backend Engineer (2 persons)
4. Senior React Engineer (3)
5. DevOps & Cloud Engineer (2 persons)
6. DevTools Engineer (1 person)
7. Database Engineer (2 persons)
8. UX/UI Designer (2 persons)
9. Frontend Engineer - API Design, API Publishing, Design System, API Client (2 persons)
10. Market Researcher (at least 1 person per community)
11. Web Research & Content Creator (1000 persons)

For some of the positions above, I will hire international consultants to complement the skills of the team. This will be for the duration of the project leading to the launching. For some of the tasks, I will make some financial remuneration that is reasonably acceptable based on the person's skill level. But since this is a project that has not kick-off, there is limit to the level I can pay. If you are interested just indicate below.

I will be sharing my progress in this thread as a guide to others who may want to follow this path.

I will also appreciate any feedback from those who have followed this journey.

But what please...

❓ How long is the journey to full stack development?

�️ The program is expected to take 6 months. But if you are a fast learner and are dedicated you can finish ahead of schedule

Playermayweda:
Finish your nigerian projects to a satisfiable level, when you're done, go to the UK to gain more experience for a few years, then after that decide if you want to come back to Nigeria or not.

this is one of my line of thought. I felt if I launch a startup though I'll have to be available to nurture it. One of the business lesson I learnt from the late Sunny Ojeagbase is that any business idea I'm pursuing I can start small but always think global. So it's a principle that's guiding me. Any skill I'm learning or business I'm venturing to should be something I can take anywhere in the world even if I'm relocating. But the challenge is now to find a balance in product, services or skills I can be successful with locally and at the same time globally

jackcanfield:
It depends on what you are looking at, your cost of living might be higher out there, but your exposure might be better.
What you can do is to go visit your brother once in a while probably stay for 4 weeks, I think by the time you repeat this every five month you would know where you want to be... It is like looking at the crime section and looking at the programming section ... if you focus on each one only for four weeks you would have a different perspective to life.

that's a great perspective. And your illustration is on point

satandeterrible:
I'm almost in the same situation.
That's why I was hoping more people can contribute.

I work remotely and I'm being pressured by family to travel out but I don't really see why.
I live in a very highbrow area here in Nigeria and I live like a king.
Plentiful respect, girls throwing themselves at me, I always have my way with police.
Like, I have access to the best of best here in Nigeria.

I'm not really sure I'd want to give up all that just to live like an ordinary immigrant abroad.

I also have plans for a future startup here in Naija (I'm very afraid of failure tho. Startups here have a high failure rate.)

So you see, I'm as ambivalent as you are about this situation.

There are many things to consider that's why I'm taking my time. For instance there is war in Europe you never can tell what will happen any moment. I'm not really keen on living abroad but will prefer the freedom of traveling to any part of the world when I want at any given time. It's not an easy decision that's why I'm trying to sample opinion. I feel like once I relocate there is no looking back.

satandeterrible:
This thread has deviated from it original purpose.

still on course bro. At least I have gotten some interesting feedback. It's also educational for others. I was actually trying to get more feedback from others who have been involved in setting up a startup or have been gainfully employed as a remote worker or have relocated for work abroad

adeomos:
Good day sir, if it won't be too much of request, i love to have as a mentor 2347046339841 thanks

If you know your way around computer and you want to dive deeper into the world of web and app development, we've got your back.

WHAT WILL YOU DO AS A FULL-STACK DEVELOPER?
The full-stack developer can handle both back-end (the server facing side) and front-end (the user facing side) tasks of a web or app development job, although they may not necessarily be an expert in either. If you're torn between learning multiple technologies, this might be the path for you! Full-stack developers may:
>> Build a site backend in programming languages such as Node.js or Python or Java or Ruby or .NET
>> Use front-end libraries or frameworks like React, Vue.js, jQuery, Bootstrap
>> Manage application deployment and put projects on servers
>> Perform sysadmin tasks
>> Run SQL queries on databases

HOW MUCH WILL YOU EARN?
Web development can be a lucrative career with many prospects opening up as you continue to rack up valuable experience. Here is what you might expect to earn in your career as a full-stack web developer:

shalom4eva:
Do you do live training, and where is the location. I need a live tutor or academy that is in Ikorodu and preferably weekends

physical training is no longer a prerequisite for great tech learning experience. Our training is project driven

SuperWriter:
Good afternoon sir,

I'm currently learning Software Engineering with Java.
Please can I be under your mentorship?

This is my WhatsApp number
09163224301

I'll be honored

SuperWriter:
Is it a software developer or a web developer course?

it depends on how you look at it. If you build an application that runs on desktop or web or mobile devices as far as I'm concerned you are a software engineer.

anzaku47:
Hey boss.. I have been following you for quite a while.
Please do you have an academy or platform where you breed guys.
Please help me.
I am a farmer.

you can check my signature. I'm currently running a project driven FullStack Developer Certification Training program.

Newusername:
Good morning, I will like to know about some of these courses.

some deep courses on big data, AI and Analytics

motionarena:
Working remotely in Naija is cruise life oo I work for a US based company ServiceNow company as a Devops and Cloud engineer.
I reside in VI with a well furnished apartment.

I am managing 1 car 4 now though I can get multiple.
I have 4ucked numerous high class babes in island
Them dey think say I be yahoo boy.

The life is the best man.

that's the point I'm trying to drive at. I know with my current skill level I can easily get engaged as a remote engineer. But I'm still taking some high paying job courses where you have less than 0.5% market supply. My approach would be to develop an application targeting Nigeria and Africa at large with these skills set and use it for my portfolio.

uthlaw:
is the training online?

yes check my signature for details

truthsayer009:
Based on this information, I would say stay in Nigeria and build your business because you are making more money than most devs in Nigeria already. Most people I know who relocate need a second passport.

If you really want a second passport, you can just acquire Citizenship by Investment in specific countries next year for $100,000 - $150,000. As you are already making money in big numbers. That money should be easy for you to get.

that's a huge info. Thanks

emilfischer:
3 to 6 months to become full stack developer?

yes
