Programming › Re: Why You Hardly See Nigerians Teaching About Coding On Social Media. by ThatsONYI: 2:23pm On Dec 16, 2022 |
Devdevdev: You hardly see Nigerians teaching coding or talking about programming related stuff on on social media, especially on Youtube. This is because this is actually a legit way to be a successful person and it involves a lot of hard work, determination and consistence.
Nigerians only like to propagate get rich schemes and fraudulent stuff like plagiarizing books to post on Amazon or some rubbish Ponzi scheme. The common thread that links all these is that they don't involve much work and all you have to do is just do the little, then sit and wait for money to start pouring into your account. I admit there are a tiny minority of people who make money from these, but it's usually for a short period of time until it crashes or they get banned from Amazon, or get arrested, but the majority of people don't get shit, rather they jump from one get rich scheme to the other until they realize they've wasted their time.
Programming will never be saturated with competent programmers especially in this country because majority of people don't have the discipline and delligence to actually become competent programmers.
For the past month I've not been on social media. I deleted my Twitter, Facebook Tiktok, Instagram and vowed to never check status on WhatsApp because that's a very huge distraction. I only use Nairaland and Reddit, particularly for programming related information. I deleted every movie from my laptop and haven't watched TV for weeks.
How many people can do this? How many people can sit at a desk staring at a computer screen for 12+ hours everyday?
Nigerians are very lazy and are addicted to quick gratification and this works in the favor of programmers who are serious, because it reduces the competitiveness of the job market.  You hit me hard, not because I can't "sit at a desk staring at a computer screen" for hours but because it requires a laptop, data etc which means money. A lotta us been tryna save up, but what you pointed out, is facts tho. |

Travel › Re: Why Are Salaries In Europe So Low? by ThatsONYI: 8:20am On Dec 05, 2022 |
pocohantas: The system there is not designed to make you rich. You should be comfortable and your neighbours should be comfortable too (i.e), there should be an equitable distribution of wealth/resources amongst citizens.
So if you are looking for where to go and pack all the money to show off or acquire all the properties in Nigeria, some of these European countries are definitely not for you.  Exactly what zuby77 said in his story... He said that; the system over there is designed to make you comfortable, it's not designed to make you save because everything you need is already provided by the government - all you gotta do, is pay your bills! After paying your bills for the month, you've got enough left for feeding - they don't have to bother about sending money to their parents or anybody. I see why some hate billionaires. Simple life! No show off, you get to save if you're strongly disciplined! |

iLegendd: You're right, but at the end, our nation bears the brunt.
Since he's wayward online and same offline. At a point when depression sets in at age 40, he is going to get involved in crime like banditry, armed robbery, ritual, etc. just to make it at all cost. Financial desperation can make a man go astray.
I would really be happy for him if he channels that energy to something good. It's almost two or or three years now he has been trolling.
I even gave him 5k last year to stop and not quote me again and he agreed.
After some months, he broke the agreement and came back again. I know he's addicted to gambling, but I'm not the cause na. Every aboki with him kettle.
I have never gambled in my life, so I can't relate with what he's facing. I have my own problems in life and I'm handling them like a man.
Funnily, this guy has been on Nairaland since 2014. I came to Nairaland in 2016/17 broke. Being focused is what really helped me break out of poverty.
Why can't that man do the same? Maybe, his condition is hereditary and if so, I pray he gets help at home or from God.
I wish him success, but he should stop being wayward/gambling first.  Deep cut  Damn, broo! |
