So, the person in the video is me - Daniel Damilola Nejo.
The video was shot in the Notting Hill Carnival In London, my friend was creating the video for Snapchat as we were dancing and having a good time. And I looked at him and said “I will take her to Nigeria”...Jokingly. The girl’s reaction was crazy! She was shocked and ran away due to experiences she has had of her friends with Nigerians.

The video was first posted in my Instagram https://instagram.com/p/BnBbssGhdkB/ before it got picked by instablog9ja and the likes and went viral!


Even though the video is "funny", it has a deeper meaning and this is what I have been preaching and creating content about on my blog (https://ThePresidentialHustle.com) and my page.

Her reaction, even though she didn't mean any harm, was embarrassing to me and I could have reacted in a bad way or tried to "prove myself" as a "good Nigerian" but I chose not to take it personal because I know who I am, I know my worth, am a godamn king and you'll be a fool to think everyone from a country are the same!

I don't have to prove myself. So, we laughed about it and actually had a chill time afterwards.

In retrospect, I remember when I created a video about Nigerian Internet fraudsters a.k.a "Yahoo Yahoo Boys" and how they have and are still giving Nigerians bad names around the world and how we need to stop putting them on a pedestal and start recognizing that they are doing more harm than good to us, the video also went viral and had upwards of 2.5million views. I got insulted, chastised and called a fool by tens and thousands of people for simply speaking the truth, this made me kind of loose hope in the mindset and value system of the average Nigerian.

Besides being stigmatized as fraudsters and cons, this video and the reaction from the girl made me realize that we also have a bad name and reputation with women overseas (Crazy thing is - I didn't even know this, I just found out after this video)

The punchline is this - Obviously, you cannot judge everyone from the behaviors of others but at the same token, if our reputation already precedes us as "Notorious Nigerians", it's our duty to ensure that we carry ourselves as Kings and Queens that we are and we put a shame to the stereotype and make people see a different light in Nigeria.

I ve taken the most unconventional approach to learning programming.
Being unserious in secondary school, it affected my progress in 2018.
You need to settle any problem you have with math if you dont want any issues. Google pdfdrive.com and download in this order developmental math for college students, college algebra and trigonometry, linear algebra, classical geometry, calculus, advanced calculus, vector calculus, ordinary and partial differential equations. If you want to avoid begging to build websites on nairaland, avoid web development, android or any shiny applications until you're theoretically grounded.

Word...!

Hello Friend,

I advice you as a Programmer doing Website Design & Software development and not a Website designer.

I am also assuming you said "Programming" as a career switch and not website design.

If family or girlfriend is not in the way, go to a good computer college and enroll for C++ & Java programming or Python. You can even write oracle Java certification later on to boost your career.

To succeed in anything, you will need a considerable amount of time learning, practice and internalising. You will be patient while learning and honing your skills.

Don't waste time with YouTube or online coding schools. It's for those that already know their way around coding.

Do not go for HTML5, css and JavaScript lessons. Do not go for new and shiny stuffs like Js and the likes. You can add those later when you have mastered Core programming languages.

Web Design is not real career. Don't come to be begging for website design on Nairaland.com like a good number of us.

Take this advice from a 39yo man like you and you will not regret it.

Cheers.

Spot on !

Great !

This is sad !

Wait....so the story that the NFIU office inside Aso Rock was burgled is true ! Youdonmeanit !

Good save !

It is quite difficult to believe that an office(NFIU) inside the seat of power(Ask Rock) was burgled and that the burglars got away. If this is true, then no comments...

Racoon:
A coup within a coup is currently taking place among the cabal.The power equation is being reshuffled.Meanwhile, when has the presidential villa became an interrogation centre for the DSS?

My brother.....help me ask them ooo!

Good move! They should try to get to the root of this matter.

Nice!
