ah ah at least person wen use webview still try! na still app abi?

NOBLEDANDY:
and yet you don't know,

you must be really joking...

y always reversed is d case in 9ja. Flop

Guy u dn't need to blame him, Naija schools na soso cram dem dey cram to pass exam, after that uare on yr own,

OP wat i will advise u can either go for networking get yr CCNA, hustle for a job as a network admin, u will learn and go for yr CCNP

OR U go into programming, now we have web,desktop, mobile ok which has much prospects, i will advise u go for C# (C sharp) with MSSQL (i could have said PHP but with determination u can start from C#) learn it very well and do some projects, u can be taken as an intern in an I.T firm with that knowledge.

i could write more but let me wait for other comments

those guys above me just dey talk too much, bill the guy 200k - 400k let business start,shikena, na u know wetin u wan take design am all he wants is the result. okpari

GodMode:
It sickens me when people mention mark and bill in reference to been a successful programmer..

There are millions of successful programmers you will never hear of...

If you know what been the "best coder" means you won't comment such...

Bro it aint about being the best coder,it is about how resourceful u are towards putting yr code to generate for u financially, the main there is the idea, watsapp today was sold for 19billion our Nigerian guy that apple bought his app for 1billion were thinking out of the box,that is were coding lies, think out of the box to solve societal needs hence u will be recognized, locally and internationally.

Cutehector:
B like say I go learn programming

Wetin u dey wait for

GodMode:
Story for those who don't read...

In programming, your skills defines how much you will make..

Well @GodMode, yr post castigating HCPAUL, i dn't think u understand the guys writeup, wat he is saying is yr being the best coder might nt really propel u to being rich or financially well off although u might be comfortable as a freeelance or employed in a firm, bit innovativenes makes a resourceful developer, check out facebook or Microsoft, Mark and Bill were not the best coders in their class or school but they ideas dat will lead to people oriented program mes hence their breakthrough in their fields. Back to naija the owner of interswitch he had an idea hence his story inhis own field, so the conversion of yr coding skills to finance is wat will lead to yr making money not being the best coder in yr location.

===========BACK TO THE OP
Mr OP i understand yr plight hence i thank GOD for Nairaland,cause it helps to share concrete ideas amongst ourselves in diverse fields, i will advice you to try finish school, u can solicit help from yr uncles or relations and try inform some of yr lecturers of yr plight so as nt to carry over courses that will now lead to extra yr and expenses.

U need to be at least a graduate to be employed in naija IT firms,[being a graduate is more than certificate, it shows u are able to comform with laid down rules and regulations and tofollow a structure toward achieving a goal] the IT firms might nt need u to be a graduate if u are really that good but because of presentation sake that education background is necessary.

=========HOW U MAKE MONEY AS CODER NOW

I will advice u, since say u knw PHP, hence u have the basics to go for c#/mssql server and java with android development [note java is nt really hard, i learnt the basics in one evening bw 10pm and 4am since i wanted to create and android app] if u knw c# that well do some projects with it, basically

SUPERMARKET MANAGEMENT SYSTEM USING BARCODE CODE READER
HOSPITAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
PETROL STATION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

These projects u can accomplish on yr own and sell to big supermarkets, pharmacies, hospitals e.t.c cause it will enable the automate their sales and will guide against cheating from staff[where i work a COPER just sold his for 200k to a pharmacy] so u can school at same time make out time to code and solve specific problems for firms that will be of need to them.

Not forgetting android apps development is here now, companies will like to development their own apps at least for show to enhance their customer base,u can be of help in creating those applications.

Also if are good in coding u can apply for jobs even if u are not yet a graduate, the key thing there is to show yr jobs and hw creative u are, i tell uif the firm do not see who they can employ they can at least take you as freelance pending when u finish school, note most owners of businesses the hussled their way through school too, so do not gve up.

=============TO BE A BETTER CODER IN THE ABOVE LANGUAGES

C# -- BASIC---MOSTLY HW I LEARN'T MINE[I currently work as a developer]

OK, this is just the beginning u can as well get more info online or thru nairaland, also u can ask question here on wat u dont understand.

Is it anyone's priority to sponsor a competition, you can take the bull by the horn and sponsor one, i am sure u are very capable

dhtml18:
My own story is that i was born with a keyboard in my hands. . . .

Well,to me because of the limited developmental course we have in Nigerian Universities,the Nigerian youth is limited to wat he is taught in school,we apply for computer science courses in Nigeria and we are still being taught old achaic languages, languages that are not being used in the real world.

In Naija [possibly Africa] there is a disconnection from the university and the society within which it operates, the uni. is supposed to solve society problems scientifically and technologically hence we have advancements in the westen world, but here our PROF, DOCS, and lecturers are so lazy that after they get there titles they think they know it all, hence wat they learnt 10yrs ago they are still recycling.
The courses offered in many Naija Universities are limited and many do not really have impact on the society when the student finishes school, so there is a disconnect btw society and student and yr parents expect you to get a job once u finish school.

The boom in programming,web design,android,ios apps development, technical knowledge in Naija, is all thanks to the white man,[infact GOD Bless them], google, youtube, various free tutorial websites ,the Nigerian student has now discovered he can learn wateva he want to learn online with little or no charge, then use the knowlege to earn a living because technology is the now,tomorrow and future.


So i feel every aspiring young man should hold his destiny in his hands [with GOD'S BLESSING] and know that today there has been tremendous improvement in tech which we can put to use here in this country, you just have to study, get materials online and think,think,think about that big idea that u can use to market to the world, and it does not really matter where u are,if the idea is right ,people will come to u,
