We almost in the same scenario,one powerful man of God even came to our house to tell me that i would be a man of God.even random strangers have stopped me on the road and told me i would be great,even a drunkard,even a mad person.I just keep wondering how a chronic sinner like me would be..for the church going,we in same shoes,i done tire for church.I get this feeling sometimes that am hindering myself,but oluwa know sha.Make Him run am for me.

I don't want to be a pastor, cos I will end up being driven by just the financial benefits

MykOnyxo:
Hmm... In within your school, you can join a Bible believing student fellowship and be dedicated to God you can find your right spiritual path from there. You can also then go to seminary on part time basis... I know a cheap one around here...


Stay bless...

Dont let anybody confuse you.

You are in school at 28, did you think you could be Dangote, by now?

You must follow due process

I don't want to be Dangote, I just want to be comfortable

Some time ago I went with a female friend of mine to visit some of my elderly friends, after I saw the girl off they jokingly asked me if she has sisters because she's beautiful, I told them that girls yapka in the family, they are 5girls. One of them asked me their age range and I told him the first daughter is over 30 years, he said that it is not normal for all of them to be over 20years but not one of them is married.

He went on to say that the problem is spiritual and he would help them to find a solution, he gave me the number of a supposed man of God that helped him get a child (he was childless for over ten years) . I called the girl and told her everything and understandably she was interested because it has been a great burden to the family that none of the girls could get married.

Some days later we set off to go see the man, we met a middle aged man probably in his mid forties seated behind a desk with cover in a church. After telling him the reason we came he opened the desk and was mumbling some words while doing stuffs with some items we couldn't see from where we sat.

I could deduce that he was a traditionalist and not a real pastor, after some consultations he told the girl of plenty issues they were having in the family. This wasn't guess work, it was an xray of the events in the family and the girls life as a whole as the girl confirmed everything he said. He also proffered some solutions that would cost the girl just an insignificant amount contrary to our belief that he would charge much.

Now to why I'm making this post, I don't believe in those kind of stuffs but after the man's performances I was beginning to have a change of heart. I decided to tell him about some of my issue which is mainly stagnation and inability to make significant progress in life despite all struggles and hustles.

Oga just smiled and told me that I'm the one hindering my own progress contrary to popular belief that one witch or wizard in the village is on top of my matter. He told me that I'm beyond jazz, no body can jazz me and no jazz will work for me incase I have intentions of getting one.

He said that I'm a great envanglist and meant to be a vessel through which God will touch lives that the decision to go the native way or tribal way rests solely on my feet. He added that I'm aware of this message though I feigned ignorance and denied having prior knowledge of what he said(I was lying). Whatever he was consulting insisted I was lying and knew of my destiny but was just running away from it.

The truth is that I've heard this message from countless people but will always ignored it, he went on to tell me that the school I'm going to is a waste of resources and time if its not related to a medical field, that I might end up not having a result at the end of the day. He went on a divulge some challenges I'm having in school like missing scripts, a friend will photocopy my work word for word in exam, he would end up with an A and I would carryover the course plus other issues.

He insisted the only remedy is if I change to a medical course or dump my education all together for a pastoral school else I will keep going around in circles till I get frustrated and die without fufiling my vast potential.

Hence my confusion, why would God choose me to be a pastor or whatever when I'm not religiously inclined, I've not been to church in over two years, in fact I don't like church. I've been to many but my spirit does not accept any, while others dance during praise session I just sit and watch wondering what's making them so excited.

How can I end up as a pastor I will fall into many temptations because I'm not bereft of flaws in fact I have many.
He mentioned the medical sector, citing stuffs like if I give someone panadol it will cure sickness that has defied other medications, that I would just lay hands on a pregnant woman having complications and she would give birth instantly.

Which kain whahala be this Is this man saying I should throw away my acada that I'm already in my finals at the age 28 and start hustling another admission at this old age.
This acada wey I dey run na even struggle I wan use finish am....where am I supposed to get funds from when I have an avalanche of unpaid bills to sort out to be able to finish this degree that I'm running.

I'm currently learning programming and I have a strong conviction that I make it from here, all these revelations are confusing me. I've been getting it for years, kept ignoring it jumping from one thing to the other with little or no success.

This is not the life I envisaged for myself, growing up I was the brightest, I could now recall heading children crusade when I was younger, wininig numerous relegious competitions in fact I had no match then.

How I ended up moneyless, with no clear path or direction at almost 30 is a question which answers eludes not only me but all those that knows me since I was little.

Abeg make una help me reason this matter cos e over me ah swear, how can I approach this issue to avoid wasting more time.

Please I'm sorry for the long epistle or any grammatical errors.

Wahala dey naija, thread never go pass page one and I have tons of PMs asking for the prophet's number.
Pls if that's your reason of sending me PMs please don't bother because I no longer have the contact of the man and the I'm not in good terms with my friend that I went with to see the man presently so I can't ask her for the number.
Thanks.

Pls stick to web if you want a job. I'll recommend you learn JavaScript and it's frameworks (React and Node/Express js) There are a lot of job openings for JavaScript developers both in Nigeria and abroad most go unfilled due to shortage of skiiled devs.

If you want to freelance then you can go with php/WordPress or shopify. There aren't many job openings for php developers compared to JavaScript/React/Node devs but on freelance websites like fiverr or upwork there are more php/WordPress/shopify gigs that pay a lot.

What I'm saying in essence is focus on web development because according to a stackoverflow survey (can't remember the year) 50% of all tech jobs are web related.

Lastly in all thy learning learn JavaScript.

Thanks Baba.....onward web dev soldiers

tensazangetsu20:
This is strictly my own opinion and I will advise you to do research but I always advise beginners to stay away from shiny technologies. The problem is that a lot of this technologies are being learnt by a lot of people so the competition for the jobs won't be here at all and you are a junior developer. It makes it really hard. JavaScript is a must alongside one Framework but for backend I advise people to learn PHP alongside a platform like WordPress or Magento. You can do your own research and take the paths that best suite you.

I have observed how you always attend to newbies on this forum no matter how stupid our questions seems. Thanks a lot and God bless you

Well, the "stranger" brought the matter here, didn't he?

Forget data science there's very few jobs available. Cyber security is one of those fields where they value certifications like kilode. Nothing like oga I Sabi am I fit do am as it is in web development and trust me the certifications aren't easy to acquire at all. Cissp is over 350 study hours alone. Those certifications no be beans o.

You have to map out a path. What to learn and certifications that really matter to acquire so as not to waste any time. It's a very good field especially once certified. Less competitive.

Overall I will advise you to stick to web development since money is your end goal. Cyber security will take a lot of time to get a job and get money and it's mostly medium sized to big companies that are always in need of cyber security consultants. Smaller companies don't need them yet. As for web development everyone needs a web developer.

Thanks man....shee python can be used for web development too? It seems to have more functionality than JavaScript. Which do you think is better?

incogni2o:
Bro

You are the future.

Please forget having a career in web nonscence.

Go into Data Science

Start with python,
Then R
After that go into Machine Learning
And AI.

Your background is so perfect for a bright future.

Thanks so much bro, I also tried out data science, my course combination made it a little easier since I've come across some of the stuff in school just that I was looking at the practical application

:

Someone should say something please

I'm a Nigerian student that wants to go into programming, I'm actually studying statistics/computer science and I will be entering 400lv when school resumes.

I'm already done with CSS and HTML and unto JavaScript but my issue is there seems to be a lot of web developers around and I want to venture into a different niche that I can master within my remaining one year in school,I might miss out on service due to age so I need these skills because I don't intend backdating my age.

I'm thinking of cyber security, and I want to start with python,though I want something I can start earning from as soon as possible(local man is broke)... I have over 30courses in my udemy account, from web dev, to cyber security, hacking etc.

Please how lucrative is cyber security or should I just continue with web dev, I have tons of courses on it, from JavaScript to bootstrap, react,angularjs, node js, php, SQL etc. I also have over 30hours courses on python and it's frame work django with projects for practice cutting across web dev, mobile applications etc

I enrolled on a wireshark course that spans around 64hours for the part 1 and part 2 and I already love that one because it makes me feel like a bad ass hacker. Pls help a brother out, tutorial hell or whatever its called is hitting me hard

LMAO! Red as led, orange, olange.

Please tell her to pronounce 'parallelogram'

Lol....you think igbos have the l and r factor?? Have you heard a tiv man speak before?

Ishilove:
Now you're talking. It it's like a straight compass to your origin. I have absolutely no problem with Igbo men, quite unlike what some people on this thread think. I was making a objective observation which you have concurred with.

Maybe they misunderstood you, you can hardly stay in Anambra and not pick up the accent unless you're not Igbo, Anambra has the strongest accent among other Igbo states.
If I come home during break I pick up the accent and it subsides if I spend some months away from home, my friend born and bred outside the east relocated here last two months and she's already pronouncing anyhow as aniihow.

Ishilove:
It can be sexy if combined with classiness.

You're right though, I remember when I left Anambra for university in the middle belt, my accent was obvious but with time it blended, somehow it attracted ladies who will always tell me they love the way I speak.

So what about the universities If this country can no longer run universities let them tell us so we can explore other options.
Imagine NUC closing universities for 5weeks For what exactly Are they implying that primary school children can take care of themselves more than adults

Ishilove:
I know the fun part, but the romantic part na error.



More like...?

They marry outside their state, that I know. The few ones I know are very Igbotic and egotistical, but there are exceptions like J111333 who is a very nice person.

They usually have very thick Igbo accent, eg pronouncing Lexus as Lexoos. Some of them believe women should be like civil servants, i.e, seen but not heard. All of them, and I mean all the ones I have been aquainted with are VERY unromantic and are alpha males, so if you can cope with an alpha male then you have no fear.

Lol.....why you come carry the accent thing for head na? Every tribe has their own peculiar accent, if you think you speak perfect English then go to the states or UK and speak. You will see how thick your own accent is

My guy forget nairaland tribal fights between Igbo and Yoruba, in real life the two tribes dey run parol well and also inter marry very well, we've some prominent Yoruba men that married Igbo ladies, you should be talking about Igbo and Hausa cos its almost a no go area, the hate btwn the two no be today e start.
Seems you spend a lot of time on nairaland than out there where the real stuff goes down. Most of those guys instigating those tribal fights are neither Igbo nor Yoruba, and it makes front page cos it generates much traffic.

Don't slyly encourage foolish behaviour.

Complaining is one thing, exposing your father to be insulted is another and should not be encouraged.
People these days lack respect for elders.

Nne cut the guy some slack, as a first born I can relate very well.....as for bringing it online we've seen worst, na frustration cause am

So there are no better things for you to talk about than another man problem.

Oga if you check well I cropped out the usernames and I don't have any business sending it to the husband, just doing it to create awareness. If you have kids it will do you lots of good to run a DNA test.
