How long will it take me - to go from complete noob (Computer Engineering graduate) to CCNA certified including training and examination?

How much will it cost?
Nairaland GeneralRe: Dark Mode, UI Facelift, & Minimum Character Rule by rowend: 7:36pm On Oct 20, 2025

Dear Nairalanders,

We are ramping things up. Here are some things we have done recently:

1. We gave Nairaland's theme a little facelift, fixing buttons, pagination, separators, and other little things.

2. We implemented a dark mode for Nairaland with the most intuitive UX: a sun toggle on your upper right.

3. We further relaxed the minimum character rule because many people were still struggling with it.

We are also trying to make our moderation bot (aka antispam bot) more accurate. Bear with us on that.

What else do you want us to work on?

Best Regards.
Omo, the way my eyes relax as I toggle the dark mode, eh. We needed this 10 years ago but thanks, sir.
That said, sir. The dark mode button is not intuitive as you said o. If you did not mention where it was, I won't have seen it.

Also, the borders on the buttons in dark mode are not that distinctive. I was searching for submit button just now.
PhonesRe: Since MTN And Airtel Lounched 5G Their 4g Now Now Terrible by rowend: 11:23am On Aug 22, 2025
I am currently close to getting a 5G router(N80,000) so I can relate to what you are saying.

Before 3G, 1MB/s was a myth and websites were much lighter in terms of megabytes so that explains 2G's extinction to an extent.

But I vividly remember getting my first 4G phone (with Glo 4G then) and later on, also connecting to Smile and MTN 4G for first time - both times, I was so flabbergasted by the speeds. I remember hitting 8MB/s on MTN (64Mbs).

One thing is this - more and more people are coming online. We are all using more and more of the available bandwidth - fair usage policies (FUP) and network congestion are what are killing network speed not the technology itself which is still very sufficient.

For context, I sometimes get better speeds on Airtel and Glo 3G than their 4G.

The road did not get smaller - it is cars that increased. At 2am where I am, even 3G can hit 2MB/s but by 2pm, 4G cannot load Google.

So for me, getting a 5G router is less about better technology and more about getting privileged access to a wide express road that no one is using yet in order to avoid the holdup on the narrower other road.

Hope this answers your question.
ProgrammingRe: How Are You Currently Paying For AWS, Digital Ocean Or Google Cloud? by rowend: 12:12pm On Jun 13, 2025
Any dollar card works with AWS.

I use Chipper Cash.

I do not know anyone that works with Google Cloud. Chipper Cash failed.

I have not tried Azure or Digital Ocean.
ProgrammingRe: How Much Will It Cost Me To Design a mobile APP In Nigeria by rowend: 8:39am On May 13, 2023
So, the conclusion is that it depends on the developer. The price of an application ranges from 40k to 800k. Thank you, people.
