PoliticsRe: 1000 Hunters Protect Farmers From Boko Haram In Borno State by Xpol: 8:48am On Aug 03, 2021
Hezzyluv:
Give the farmers guns let the hunters go to their farmers too, if Boko Haram know they (famers) have ak47, they will never come near them, 'cause they (book Haram) flex their muscles on innocent people wey no carry gun. I like this governor sha, Kingsley moghalu and babagana Zulum for president cool, will be a great combo
lol Boko Aram wey no dey fear to go attack Soldiers inside their barracks na e go con fear to attack farmers sake of say they get Ak-47. Fear a man who doesn’t care about losing his life. These Terrorists brains have been compromised with an ideology that make them want to die for a wrong course that’s why terrorism don’t easily ends
CareerRe: Bsc In Computer Science, Is It Still A Lucrative Degree? by Xpol: 9:01am On Jul 27, 2021

Any field that intersects in a way with computer science sells. The onus lies on you to develop yourself via free materials online to be at least good in data structure and algorithm if you would be interested in a technical career path down the lane. If you have people skills and do not want to code for a living, then look towards a career in IT leadership, product management, business analysis, scrum lead etc. The only drawback here is you would need to look for a way to set yourself apart from the crowd here. All the best.
thanks for the information

Same path, same advice, until he specializes in a specific area, he'll just be looked at as another generic graduate. In 9ja, I.T can be very wide and open to interpretation, it could be someone working at a Cafe or an engineer at MTN. Information Technology can be split into so many levels, security architect, systems admin, cloud, I.T auditor, QA and so on, let him start thinking about specialization and gaining real practical experience rather than just focuising on theories.
ok thanks very much

Computer science as it is being taught in most Nigerian universities is dead and buried, majority of fresh graduates from Nigerian universities cannot name all the components in a typical computer system by looking at it, majority cannot debug systems errors using log files and audit commands. Majority cannot operate unix or linux based systems. Don't even get me started with programming where majority cannot write decent C++ codes to save their lives not to talk of programming in Java or Phyton.

The beauty of computer science is that it is so diverse, as long as you're still calling yourself a computer scientist, you're still a novice in this field. Ogbeni what do you specialize in? Are you a systems admin, full stack developer, front end developer, network admin, linux engineer, architect, security admin or database admin? These are just tips of icebergs, there are well over 20 more specialization that I did not include, so back to the question? Is computer science profitable? YES AND NO!

YES, if you decide to master your domain, if you decide to specialize in a segment and not be a jack of all trade. Yes if you learn by doing ratehr than just relying on some outdated textbook and lectures.

NO, if you think a B.sc in computer science means shin shin. No, if you have nothing to offer but a generic degree and no certifications. Experience beats almost any degree but you do not gain experience by bringing the same things thousands of graduates bring to the table, you've got to reinvent yourself and stay ahead of the curve!

Simply put, computer science is like a child crawling, for the child to walk, he or she must master a technique or two, if you're still in chool, now is the best time to get some practical experience, look for opportunities to learn for free, buy scrap computers, disect and put back together, if you want to be a programmer, write at least 5-6 programs per month, never stop improving. If your focus is on networking better get some certifications and be ready to pass exams like CCNA, Network+ and a bunch of Microsoft certifications. May the God of Babbage & Lovelace be with you!
please one of my younger brothers insist on going for IT instead of CS any advice on that?

I see alot of comment and I shake my head. Only if you know the worth of that degree in the WEST. That degree was my ticket to relocate out of Nigeria. After settling down here, I tried to talk all my siblings into taking a CS degree but they really do not understand me because they can't see what I see and have seen. I currently work as a software engineer outside nigeria. While others are lamenting about being unable to get jobs after graduation here in Canada, I had multiple offers before graduation. And within two years, I had worked for very big brands in Canada. If you have a CS degree regardless of where you get it from, the language is universal. Its a degree you can have from Nigeria or anywhere else without the need to take any conversion exam of any sort. That degree is a goldmine. As long as you can at least code averagely, the sky is the limit.
please what can you say about IT(BSc)

PoliticsRe: Vacate Occupied Palestinian Territories Before We Release Your Citizens - FG by Xpol: 12:18pm On Jul 22, 2021
Kandeed:
Boss you and I knows we ourselves can carry out an attack on most police formation successfully cuz of how porous their station is, I was asking a nigga if he's conversant with Abuja environs to know how some of these secured prisons are built esp in the federal capital he no reply. these isreali guys are hot fish and you don't expect FG to put em in some kinda porous prisons where it's accessible to every dick and Harry and that's just what I'm making folks here understand that the attack will never be easy as they're assuming.

Look I know we can't match Isreal military, they can easily take out the country on a full scale war and possibly kill Buhari if they want, I'm really not arguing that fact. but telling me they'll launch an attack on a prison like Kuje and get away with it easily and successfully without air power and more footmen that I'll never agree to irrespective of Mossad's past history or capabilities
it’s a general knowledge that Israel will not even do such thing when it’s not their president That’s been held captive but Nigeria doesn’t have any security don’t be surprised that most of those prison breaks involved insiders. Most Nigerians will compromise their patriotism when they offered the right amount
PoliticsRe: Vacate Occupied Palestinian Territories Before We Release Your Citizens - FG by Xpol: 9:01am On Jul 22, 2021

spare me the hollywood script....how is that even possible? Storm a prison like Kuje to rescue their citizen? Warn em they'll return in body bags
lol though Israel won’t come and try such thing but it’s quite possible ask yourself how easy it was for UGM to successfully break into prison and free the prisoners and many more that have been happening in the past

That’s how you’ll feel when you’re working hard and still finding it difficult to save 50k in a year and you see your mates buying wrist watch of 50m and buying cars for gfs. Before you make clean billions in Nigeria is not easy oh and you’ll be so scared to spend it lavishly.

PoliticsCan You Volunteer To Replace Kanu Or Ighoho In Prison? by Xpol(op):
My most active section in Nairaland is the “politics”.

Most times I don’t comment but like to read as many comments as possible.

I must confess that I mostly come to relieve myself of stress from work cos most times I smile and laugh loud that people around will be asking me why.

I see that Nairaland is full of chest beaters and e warriors. People praising Nnamdi Kanu and Igboho here and there as if their lives are tied to them.

Last time I traveled home you need to see how a friend of mine was arguing with me that I don’t know anything and because I’m not around so I can’t know how powerful Igboho is. That had it been the federal government had given him permission he would have gone to Sambissa forest to defeat Boko Aram.

I can never support violence which will eventually affects the innocent masses. That’s why I’ve never supported Kanu and Igboho though I know very well neither of them needs my support.

One other thing I see is that they live celebrity life, care more about luxuries and claiming they’re fighting for the masses.

You want to fight the federal Government and wholeheartedly depend on local bullet proofs.
I served in the police for years and I’ve seen many arm robbers who are well fortified with local charms from head to toes gunned down like a fowl.

I have never seen where Boko Aram or Iswap comes out to boast of bullet proof charms instead they seek sponsorship from the billionaires who have the same ideologies with them and boost their Armory so apart from the armor tanks and weapons seized from the Army they are able to buy their own like anti Aircraft guns, machine guns, bombs, etc
These make it difficult for the military to penetrate their camp like they’ve done to ESN.

Conclusion:

Don’t love Nigeria,Yoruba nation or Biafra more than yourself. Our police and Army are trained with colonial police and army mindset they don’t know what is called peaceful protest or peaceful Agitation.
If you’ve handled riffle before you’ll understand better, it’ll be doing you as if something should happen so that you can use the riffle.

Seek for a better life if you can’t get that in Nigeria hustle and make money to try life in another country.

If you’re reading this and you’ve already tired of living in Nigeria but you’re struggling to raise the money to travel out.

You’re jobless and struggling to eat and pay ur bills.

You’re working as if you’re not working.

You’re a man but your wife has turned the breadwinner of the family.

You’re a woman but can’t afford to buy a pair of shoe for yourself unless your husband gives you money.
