I might be wrong though, but based on the people I know, most of them are interested in web development. Not that it's actually a bad idea, but i would like to know why. I hardly see developers who are interested in fields like machine learning/ai, computer security, computer vision, speech processing and stuff like that. I believe these are interesting fields, but why do most Nigerians go into the web.
Ps: if you're a web developer, you could start by telling us why you love it.

You have to start from somewhere - web development. Take for instance, if I want to use machine learning/AI in my web app , I have to be a web developer and also have knowledge of machine learning. You can do almost anything with web development these days. You grow from one level to another.

You can run any kind of App on shared hosting. It is only on issue of performance and maybe type of database considerations that will make one want to move to vps or dedicated platform or the cloud.

True, you can run any app, even nodejs apps can run on php shared hosting (if you hack around it) but like I said "not suitable".

It depends on the kind of app you want to build. There are a lot of php shared hosting providers. Shared hosting is not suitable for every app even if the app is in written php.

Your list is small on a whole lots of stuff people could go through in years. Abortion is avoidable, baby mama avoidable, cheating is avoidable when you are focused. pre marital sex is almost impossible.
Relationships comes with odds, Marrriage comes with its own odds too.
Challenges that both has to deal with.
But the end justifies the means.however we have journeyed, the most important thing is that we are stilll together and stronger patiently waiting to deal with the next phase of life.

Patience is key

Dated my wife for 8years.

And we are happily married with a cute daugher.

Everyoe has turned marrige and relationship counsellor on Nairaland.
I read comments, just smile and move on.

Every relationship has its own peculiarity. What works or does not work for Mr/Miss A may or May not work for B.

It takes 2 people to work out relationship.
Patience is key

Can you say you never cheated on her within those eight years? or she didn't become a baby mama or have abortion? Or if you are a christian, didn't engage in premarital sex? Let's be real

Even if Kenya is better than Nigeria in terms of ICT, how does that help us. After all, there are countries far better than all of Africa. We should be more concerned about growing our ICT to world class not Kenyan standard. I should be concerned with using tech to solve our own problems..smh for Nigerian youths

When did mobile money become the sole definition of a nation's technological prowess?

Why do Yorubas feel they need to hate Igbo's on yorubas success thread to be happy? Do you see Igbo's hating yoruba on Igbo/Yoruba success thread? Yoruba will still come to hate Igbo on Igbo success thread. Why?

Dis man dat has never put on suit b4, how come 2day, he is putting on suit, investigation will start now ooooo

Wrong, if you followed him on Facebook, you should have seen him in suit a couple of times, even with the pope

Time coins? Not even shares? Am I the only one finding the concept if being paid in time coins funny?

Was the 10 commandment printed on a book like print version of the Bible? Perhaps you should also look for the original stone it was engraved on.

Akshow:
Modern Church, Monster Church.

Practices in the modern evangelical church that I will NEVER ever get over.

1. Comedy Shows or StandUp Comedy in Churches.
Is the Church about Jokes now?

2. Award/Dinner Nights in churches.
What happens to selfless christian service and heavenly rewards?

3. Bodyguards or Ushers in churches looking like FBI/CIA Agents running everywhere.
Is the church under siege? This really freaks me out.

4. POS Machines in churches.
Maybe worshippers should pay their offerings into a designated bank account the next Monday morning. It gives the church some replica of sacred sanity, rather than look like a glorified Casino. Or maybe churches are scared their 'magic' would wear off before Monday?

5. Pulpit looking too much like a Concert Stage. Too many light works and special effects.
What is our main attraction? Christ or the others?

6. Everybody speaks in tongues that no one understands, yet nobody interprets.
How am I encouraged or edified if you motivate me in Latin where I'm Yoruba?

7. Special King-size Seats for the Presiding Pastor and his Mrs.
Are you the Lord or Jesus?

8. Special Stooges who carry even the Pastor's mobile phones and wife's bag.
Are they amputees?

9. Sharing the grace with the guy/girl beside you in church, yet you leave in your car without offering him/her a lift to a nearby bus stop.
Why not share your car and keep your grace?

10. You've not paid your rent, fees or tax but your tithe never suffers.
Always remember: God is merciful, but your landlord or government is not.

There are simply too many abominable practices today in the modern church, fast evolving into a monster church. Too many to even remember. Do you Believers know any?


Selah.

Do you know that your body is a temple? Therefore never entertain yourself with comedy. Never attend dinner / award events. If you are rich, never hire any form of security. Never have any subordinates. According to scripture you are a temple, the Holy Spirit dwells in the temple. Therefore don't condemn something in church while you engage in it,. if you do, you know what you are

Forward thinking. Imagine if our president was a professor

How can they end bokoharam? Is the Zamfara mob boko Haram? No, they are just normal muslims

The primary reason I use it is to block applications I'm not using from accessing internet. It helps increase internet speed for apps I use and saves data and airtime. With opera max I can manage 5 mb for a day on my android without worrying about apps sucking data in the background.

Hello house. These days I don't care what people think, I utilize the goodies that come with the introvert package

If I'm on 2G plan and subscribe for night plan, will the speed be 3G ?

Booyakasha:
I was clearly talking about low end opera mini for phones not the updated android opera mini version you're using.. who cares if it uses webkit.. opera mini is for users in third world countries..

Third world or not , I'm not sure but what's important is that they are users therefore there is a market

Booyakasha:
Opera mini has Ajax support, but it solely depends on the weight of the ajax call... opera mini uses cloud acceleration so it acts like a screen grabber of the real browser on cloud, since that's what it does (download the overly compressed version of the webpage from cloud to accelerate your access to webpages) which makes browsing really fast.. think of it like a low quality video.

It's not like a low quality video...it uses WebKit now...so you're still getting the real thing after compression. Unless you set it to Extreme data savings then it uses the Presto engine which has many browser features stripped off

AntiWailer:
What is algorithm ?

After answering that question, then think about the possibility of solving a maths question without any step consciously or unconsciously.

1 + 1 = 2.


that you know it is 2 without blinking does not mean your brain did not follow any step to arrive at the answer. It only did it very fast.

So you can not perform any programming task without understanding the solution steps.

Ok... I agree but that is not what I meant. I was talking about algorithms in "Data Structures and Algorithms"

AntiWailer:
No I av not.

( guess decade sounds like 2 months to u.)

If you care to know, I manage a team of over 13 programmers and mentor several others still in school.

I recruit programmers and if you give me this rubbish categorization and definition, I will not allow you answer the next question

That is the end of the interview.

What nonsense huge project will make u separate 'algorithm guy' from 'technology guy'. What nonsense !!

If look at his post really well, you will see that it is aimed at web development. So he is right. You can do much web development without any knowledge of algorithms because they have already been implemented as tools, technologies, frameworks, libraries etc. Even at that, abstraction introduces a new range of complexities... so there would still be more work to do and one man can't do them all

teampregar:
There is a project am working on that uses ajax, i have not yet deployed it to a live server, and i have no experience of ajax on a mobile browser before..But i noticed in instagram's web app the ajax works on computer, but when i try click the follow button on my opera mini it just refreshes the page and nothing happens(Android phone) ..I would like to know if ajax work on a mobile browser also, if i does not work tell me so that i can remove the ajax functions and change it with normal programming scripts..

I just checked instagram web app now with operamini , clicked the follow button and the page didn't reload. You must be using the old version which all about extreme data savings or a newer version with extreme data savings turned on. High data savings won't require page reload. I'm speaking for opera mini not opera browser on android.

teampregar:
Wow, nd the problem is that most africans use opera mini browser

Opera mini supports Ajax. The old versions will require a page reload but the new version doesn't require page reload . It's fast for even 2G with webview and has better layout. Opera mini is not like before. I'm speaking for android.
