Igbo states before the contraption called Nigeria consisted of well-constructed towns running under a sophisticitated demo-egalitarian system. With wide, well-ordered streets subject to regular and mandatory cleaning by the townspeople.

It is embarrassing to note that despite the fact that we live in the modern age, the curse of Nigeria had actually regressed it's inhabitants politically and socially a hundred years.

When Biafra is achieved, Biafrans will be able to finally throw away the shackles of neocolonisation and mediocrity and one of the greatest countries on earth will be born.

I'm still wondering if Nigeria is better than Sudan.
I thought we are compared with Somalia?

Tech is honestly the best industry to get into right now. The opportunities are numerous. Almost every job vacancy out there is tech this tech that, developer this and developer that. I stayed in school for 4 years studying for a useless engineering degree and I have never in my life seen a vacancy for the rubbish I studied but there are tech roles every day. But in spite of so many jobs in tech, a lot of new developers struggle to get opportunities. I started being active in the tech community recently and I am meeting developers who have been coding for 5 to 7 years but have never had an opportunity. Talking with them has led me to discover that it's actually not the tech industry but a few of the reasons I am listing below.

1. You follow the trends: A lot of us developers love to focus on the sexy trendy stuff. Newsflash, what is sexy and trendy isn't used and even when used is used by very few companies. So millions of people who have struggled to learn the sexy stuff are all going to fight for those few roles out there. Take for example the latest coolest CSS framework tailwind. It's really cool and hyped up and it's like the go-to framework right now but the thing is in the industry people are still using bootstrap. People are learning tailwind but they don't know the number one CSS framework out there. Just because something is cool and sexy doesn't mean that everyone is going to switch to it overnight.

If you give junior developers a chance between Angular, React, and Vue. A lot of people are going to pick Vue. They will say it's sexy and cool and has a ton of GitHub stars. There are jobs using Vue but they are so few compared to React and Angular that you would be pigeonholing yourself by learning that. Theres a whole of difference between coding for fun and coding to get a job.

2. You have unrealistic expectations: This is something I usually see on Reddit cscareerquestions but it seems to becoming a norm amongst everybody. People believe that if your salary isnt starting at 100k USD a year or you dont work for a tech company, you arent a developer. Its so elitist and unfortunately a lot of developers in Nigeria are beginning to have this mindset. They learn HTML, CSS, JS. They have built absolutely no projects but because someone said you need the knowledge of DSA to get a job they immediately start grinding leetcode day and night with the hope of getting into Google. You learnt to code from a Udemy course and you really want to compete at DSAs with people who went to MIT. People who have been doing competitive programming since 5 years old. People who get gold medals at the international olympaids of informatics like its nothing. . Funny enough, I also had this mindset when I was learning to code but corrected myself later on. The truth is that not every tech job out there tests with DSA or needs knowledge of DSA and not everybody must work for a big tech company. This reasoning is so flawed. It is like saying every lawyer must work for law firms like wale olanipekun and co or every engineer must work for exxonmobil. There are a ton of jobs that will pay you well as a junior developer like really well and you need not struggle to get them. They wont test you with DSA. They would only look at the complexities of your projects and go through them with you. By well paid I am talking of 500k and above. Ask yourself how many people asking you to do DSA in Nigeria have not yet worked at Google. There are even whatsapp groups dedicated to DSA and if you cant solve one you are kicked out. The person giving you DSA is not working at Google or Facebook hmm give yourself a brain o.


3. You do not know how to cut off the bullshit from social media: There's so much information out there today but if you don't know how to cut off the bullshit from what you need, you would waste your time. A lot of influencers and creators are putting information out there for themselves. They follow the algorithms and put out what is going to give them the most value in terms of money for their time. If I put out WordPress content, nobody will watch it but if I go out there and make MERN stack tutorials I would be getting millions of views but to be truthful you do not need the MERN stack as a junior. No one is using MongoDB in prod. Very few websites use Nodejs. You are just limiting yourself with that. If you want to be a full stack developer look at things like C# and Java springboot. Those pay really really well and there are even certifications you can acquire in those frameworks that can help get you opportunities at enterprise companies that use them especially if you don't have a computer science degree.

4 Your projects are not worth paying for: People put out calculators, todo lists, tictactoe games and a lot of bullshit on their portfolio and wonder why they aren't getting interviews. You have applied for 100 jobs and haven't been called back and you absolutely do not know the reason why. Nobody is going to hire you with a to-do list and a calculator on your portfolio. Even if you get an interview, is a calculator something you are going to show your interviewer. What happened to making a social media application, a chat application, a blog, an analytic tool, a dashboard. Something that people actually use in the real world every day. I remember one of the first interviews I have, one of my projects was a payment application I used paystacks API for. Everything was done with HTML, CSS and Javascript and once my interviewer saw the project and the button I used to connect the API, he made an offer to me immediately. Your projects matter especially as a beginner. One solid project is better than 100 garbage projects.

5 You don't research: Honestly, in this tech thing, I take what everyone is saying as bullshit. The senior developer I work with an Australian guy was telling me to learn web assembly if I really want to get a job with visa sponsorship which I so desperately need. I am tired of remote especially doing it from this shithole zoo of a country. I went to Linkedin Jobs and various countries indeed websites and I couldn't even see up to 500 jobs total in web assembly. Why would I waste time learning something that has no jobs because it might be relevant in ten years. Nodejs came out in 2009 and it is still not relevant in 2021. What is the probability that web assembly will be relevant in 2031. Research. When people tell you to learn a technology. Go to linkedinjobs and indeed and check how many jobs exist for that technology worldwide. People always advise you from their own point of view but the point of view of a senior developer in America, Europe or Australia is not the same for you a junior developer in the world's poverty capital.

Tech pays provided you do it right men.

BKayy:
Of what concern is it of a Lagos politician with the affairs of Biafra and Igbo nation?
At worse a Tinubu supporter.
The truth is that Biafra will be worse than South Sudan for politicians with Nigerian looting mentality because una no go see chance loot.
Looting is the hardest thing to do in an Igbo organization because everybody na chief accountant on his own

Optional09:
Because he’s benefiting from Nigeria, that one na selfish statement.

Mumu go and convert your money to Naira it will be useful in biafra land

nthony10:
Coming from someone that nobody takes serious.

GamalNasser:
You are not fooling anyone here

GamalNasser:
This is clearly a lie

seunmsg:
The Budgit report they relied on was rushed and poorly done. They didn’t consider some very important factors before rushing to publish the report.

NOwazobia:
if you are not useless yourself, you won't be shamelessly here trying to absolving a totally economic failed nation under the influence of 30000naira of his failures. You should be ashamed of your dumb head. When other countries give you their economic development report, do you only see it on paper, mumu? Work harder, maybe they will increase your pay or promote you to chief zombie.

GamalNasser:
I thought Biden was suppose to come save black men from being shot? you will not hear Pim from BLM and antifa now because their sponsors are in power

NOwazobia:
No report, statistics, white washing can brighten the reality of suffering, unemployment, inflation, looting, missing public funds and all that. They have to go and look for a solo reporter, and pay him to do some white washing for them, as the clean and gik they have been using is no longer working.

amuwo1980:
It must be about another Nigeria and not this one we know

YorubaPrince:
They should go ask their fvcking corrupt leaders how they keep embezzling their funds. Dagogo Jack et al... Rubbish!

niyisky:
Intelligent Nigerians are not at helm of affairs. What we have are half baked quack leaders. However, the need for restructuring cannot be overemphasized.

VaselineCrew:
Are you for real?

When last did you see potholes on UK highways?

Those roads that are like roads in video games, where you can cruise with your ride and it will almost be like you’re flying.

Let’s not even talk about their military might, fighter jets they produce...

The tax burden in the Uk is obviously much, but you can’t ask what they are doing with it, juxtaposing that with Nigeria in order to absolve leaders here from graft.

4four:
I just they wonder what are the benefits average tax payers benefits in this shit hole

Beverlyjean:
Some people said he will outscore Ronaldo when the season was bout to start cos he scored 4 goals against one junior side during a friendly... today he has one league goal while Ronaldo has x18

chatinent:
Karma is pagan, and holds no grounds.



1. Reincarnation is false teaching.


2. The doctrine of an afterlife is false as well.

zoedew:
You don’t know The House of Windsor! Harry just became a Leper! Not even with a 10 inch pole will a member of the House of Windsor touch Harry. At Prince Phillip - his grandfather’s funeral- he will sweat to make it through the crowd to be a participant! He is misguided! Who avoids destiny struggles with his essence! He is lost to The House of Windsor!

playapayaski:
Woman don wash this one brain.. Bloody fool who thinks he's in love?
What happens when she dumps u? Cos she definitely will? Abandon your family n rites for pvssy!!!

Bloody foolish fool..

SmartPolician:
That woman is deceiving that guy

Well, I am not surprised because she is older than him. When elders tell guys make dem no marry slay queens, dem no go hear word. Now see am!

How can I even imagine losing my influence around the world as the Duke of Sussex? For what, exactly? Now, Harry will start getting used to living like a commoner.

I just hope they don't divorce someday. Then him mumu eye go clear. For now, the love is still intoxicating him.

Nigerian ladies should go and consult the babalawo that prepared this strong charm for Meghan because it's extremely potent.

RuudVanNisteroy:
Why should he return it when it will be re-looted and sent to Dubai banks. He was waiting until Nigerian had a responsible government.
