Why wait till 2050? Lagos will look like that LONG before then. This is a city that was voted one of the 5 worst cities to live in and yet you're upset because someone made a realistic projection of what Lagos will look like if things continue the way they are as Nigeria becomes more overpopulated and poverty stricken. Are Nigerians really so daft?

Clever video and audio manipulation. Tuberculosis Joshua is truly the anti-christ of his time.
Really sorry for the Mugus who fall for this nonsense.
If a collapsed building and many deaths failed to convince them nothing else can.

larisoft:
So many new guys are getting into programming in Nigeria these days. Problem is; programming is a very wide field and it is shameful that people lump it all into one field that fits their prejudice depending on whom they are. Job descriptions are not helpful either. You see people demanding for 5 in one ALL THE TIME! This article, tries to discuss the different paths available to programmers, (as I perceive it) so that beginners can identify early on, which suits them, pursue it, and become good at it. Rather than stretching themselves thin, trying to master everything.

GUI Guy:
A graphics User interface programmer is important in every software team. Without him/her, your software will always look incomplete. Not only do they know how to use graphics tools like photoshop dexteriously, they also know where to put images, understand the process of making 9 patch images, and once you describe a software to them, they visualize how it will look…and visualize something beautiful too
Graphics programmers know html and css in and out. You may think you know these languages too, till you meet a graphics programmer. I once met a guy that wrote a page solely with HTML and css. The things this page was doing! No one would have believed javascript was absent on that page. Javascript and jquery are usually under their belt too.
Aside from the web, they have GUI technologies like Swing, Windows Forms/WPF, android xml e.t.c under their belt. All you need do is visualize it and they will bring it to pass.
The interview process for a graphics programmer should be VERY VERY DIFFERENT from other types of programmers. The competitions for graphics programmers are different too.

Hardware Guy:
This guy programs microcrontrollers and they dare not disobey. His toolset includes C and assembly and raspberry spi etc. This guy knows his platforms in and out. He knows the tiny differences between Windows machines and Linux machines. He shies away from high level langauges and stops at C++.

The interview questions for this guy should be clearly different too as he will be best suited for server administration duties..

Technology Guru:
I see a lot of them on nairaland programming section. They know about 13 languages, know enough graphics design to get by with templates, know and code on several platforms. This type of programmer is very productive.

They know several ready-made technologies. That is their strength. Once you ask them to foray into virgin fields, they flop. For instance, they know how to use the internal sort function in their languages of choice. But can they implement it? They understand arraylists well but can they create one on their own?

The technology guy has too keep learning as his relevance is tied to his toolset which is always changing.

There is nothing wrong with being a technology guy. In fact, most business will do great with just these category of programmers. But this is the reason why many African coders will never get employed at google. They are great coders. But core-tech companies like google do not need technology-conversant guys. They need guys that will define the next generation of technologies which brings us to the next category.

Competitions for this category of programmers should be different than that of other types of programmers.

Algorithms Guy:
This guy’s way of thinking is greatly different from every other person’s way of thinking. Given a set of problems, they examine them, run through them in their computer brain, and churn out answers that work, then they go on to recreate the process using code.

These guys are usually very good with mathematics too. Their skills are language agnostic. They may even work with only one language.

Algorithm guys are never out of employment. All they have to do is head out to topcoder.com, establish a reputation, and WALAA! top notch tech companies are after them!

Algorithm guys do not need to be constantly under fire to learn new languages. Many coding competitions are based only on determining who is best at algorithms but this is not fair. You cannot expect a GUI guy to beat an algorithms guy at his own game. No one ever compares the GUI of an algorithm’s guy to the UI of a GUI guy.

Most software designed exclusively by algorithm guy’s are usually console based, or have shitty GUIs.


Games Guy: For some reason, everybody seems to understand that these guys are different from other programmers. No one ever mentions it, but the demarcation is there. I wonder why?
Anyway, these guys do what their name suggest:…make games. They work with Unity and other game engines. The advanced ones amongst them know a lot of math and can inplement their own game engines.

A Games Guy will beat you hands down any time the competition is about fluid graphics or simulation.

In conclusion, these groups of programmers are all talented and respectable. Lets stop mixing them up and making some people feel deficient while they are actually good at what they do.

Have i excluded or mixed up certain categories? I will love to know what senior devs in here think via comments please!

I'm always in awe of these guys. When I grow up I want to be like Larisoft

THE LEADER OF THE HUMAN BODY

The human body is wondering who is the Leader?!

The Heart says: It's me, I circulate the blood.

The Brain says: No, it's me because I control everything.

The Liver says : No, me, because I feed.

The Anus says: No it's me.

All Laugh.

Then the Anus refused to open for 7 days.

The Liver has exploded, the Brain was stewed and The Heart stopped beating.

MORAL:

Even an asshole can be a Leader !!!

Guy you wicked

gocac:
Ronaldo is very stupid for trying to play with my intelligence! The truth about this young man is that "If its not all about him then everything is useless" he is not very happy because portugal won, rather because it puts him ahead of others to ballon d'or award. He gave it away because he felt that he is bigger than silver boot. Nonsense!

Na wao. On top all the guys wey comment na woman comment make sense pass.

malikombi:
Fear Allah in your words......Murdered by Muslim fanatics; It's better we wait till investigations is concluded

Of course we fear Allah. Allah is like the religious equivalent of the ebola virus. The fear of "EbolaAllah" is the beginning of wisdom.

DeSepiero:
wow.
op must have invested a lot of time in putting this article up. Hope he didn't just waste his time doing so.

You wasted your brains reading it.

NA WA. THE SAME MENTALITY THAT NEVER ALLOWED YOU TO RISE ABOVE BEING A DRIVER HAS LED YOU TO THE RELIGION OF BOMBS, BEGGARS AND PEDOPHILES. OMASE O. SEE AS YOU COME USELESS YOUR LIFE.

Bullsheeet

[size=24pt][/size]Don't you mean because of your lack of religious beliefs? [size=24pt][/size]

I'll never understand these so called Christians who publicly say they have Muslim family members. If I had Muslims in my family it would be a thing of shame and an embarrassment. I would NEVER publicly acknowledge them.

Limibanti:
We don't worship the same God. We don't believe in holy trinity (God the father, the son and the holy spirit). We believe in Almighty Allah the lord of the universe and all that exist

Thank goodness that a mudslime can actually admit this. Just for saying this I applaud you.

Omoita:
I'll rather be the first to be killed by my Muslim friends than to be the first to kill any of them. But then, my friends are my friends not because they are Muslims and they reason like human. BTW, not all Christians are friendly and not all Muslims are terrorist or as hostile as you belive. If you attempt at killing my Muslim friend, i will definitely kill you first because If you are Christ-Like as u claim, you wont make that statement talkless of attempt doing it...

You're even d-u-m-b-e-r than I first thought. Hope they slaughter you like a ram the way they did to some innocent Christian school children a few years back. You have earned it.

[size=24pt]Muslims are commanded by the koran to kill all non-Muslims including atheists, secularists, humanists, evolutionists, and all other religions but you will find that the Koran places special emphasis on killing of Jews and Christians. This is possibly because of the rejection the Jews and Christians gave Muhammad.

Koran 5:17 - "Unbelievers are those who declare: 'God is the Messiah, the son of Mary.'" This definition is repeated in Koran 5:73 - "Unbelievers are those that say: 'God is one of three.'"

So we see that the koran defines Jews and Christians as unbelievers.

Koran 5: 51:"Believers, take neither the Jews nor the Christians for your friends. They are friends with one another."

Koran 5:72 - "Unbelievers are those that say:'God is the Messiah, the son of Mary."

Koran4:101 - "The unbelievers (meaning Jews and Christians) are your eternal enemies."

Koran 3:117 -"Believers, do not make friends with any but your own people."[/size]

kulrunsman79:
Point of direction, we both don't worship the same God. Islam worship sun, Christians worship the Almighty Father......

They actually worship the moon. That's why they use it as a symbol.

bigybanty02:
hey bro if u have noting to say just sharrrap wats ur problem wit dis kind of ur hateful comment ar u showin the true christianity or ar u showing the true light of our lord JESUS CHRIST plz stop saying bad against others i have many muslims around me trust me u will never notice dat we ar of diffrent religion plz sir show the the light of christianty owk mind u am a christian and will remain in christianity till the last day off my life Shalom!

What a f-o-o-l you are. Upon all the killings of innocent Christians by Mudslimes in this country including the murder of a 74 year old Christian woman FOR NO JUSTIFIABLE REASON, this kind of stench is emanating from you. When they start their usual violence, trust me you'll be one of the first victims. Unfortunately for you it will be too late to repent from your s-t-u-p-i-d-y by then.

Big mistake by this Church. Mudslimes are unreliable, untrustworthy and treacherous. I remember I had to attend a wedding reception on a ground belonging to a mosque. The reception had to be cancelled at the last minute when the mosque withdrew it's permission to use their ground just half an hour before the program began.
No matter how much friendship you show a snake it will still bite you in the end.
Fellow members of the body of Christ beware of vipers.

HungerBAD:
Good.

The most important thing is that both Religion Worship one GOD.

Christians do not worship whatever thing it is that Mudslimes worship.

UKTAFIA:
Rest in the bossom of the Lord .

Since when did Mudslimes start resting in the Lord's Bossom?

He looks like a school boy carrying his knapsack.

TheSuperNerd:
This is all crap talk. You know nothing about the MRI test or how it's done or when it's done..... displaying your ignorance is very polluting indeed.

Then let us have your "knowledgeable" and "enlightened" opinion I.diot. I've been in waiting rooms at immigration offices and I've heard Nigerian players and their agents discussing what fake age they'll give to the immigration officers for issuance of international passport. This was as recently as last year. Unlike you I actually know what I'm talking about so why don't you just f-u-c-k off, stupi.d Nigerian.

MRI test results can be faked. This is because FIFA does not carry out MRI tests during age grade competitions. They rather ask the the respective national football associations to carry out the MRI test before competition and submit the results to FIFA. So nobody knows whether the results submitted to FIFA are genuine or whether it has been forged. It is very possible to do an MRI of a genuine 16 year old boy and give it to a 20 year old man to use as his own.
