These Iranian leaders/law makers are not mentally OK. In this age and time?? Northerners in Nigeria will be happy to hear this news.

Forget say I dull finish but I still remember one or two characteristics of money for economics abi na commerce that year for secondary school

Acceptability
Uniformity
And it must have value

Be original. Stop being an imposter, this is not the real niggar. You don't even sound anywhere near him. Too fake.

HOW I SWITCHED CAREER TO SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT AND SECURED A FOREIGN REMOTE JOB.
…..After 8 Years Telecoms Engineering Career.

It is often said that Tech is the new oil and the future of work. The interest in a tech career has reached new heights in recent times due to the exciting opportunity of living in Nigeria and earning in foreign currency via remote work. As exciting as a remote job is, it takes determination to secure one. Here is an account of my transition to tech and remote work.

Upon graduation as an Electrical Engineer, my ambition was to practice my engineering craft in a multinational oil and gas or telecommunication firm. My career dream was fulfilled as I got employed by one of the Nigerian GSM operators shortly after graduation.

I had an engaging career as a telecoms engineer, but I needed more fulfilment and a better career prospect. I met a software developer at a friend’s wedding who enlightened me about his job and spoke about the prospects and financial gain. After meeting with the developer, I resolved to learn to code.

I started learning java using E-books. A notable E-book I used was: Java for dummies by Wiley Brand. It took a lot of effort and practice to grasp the OOP concepts. Several months into learning java, I decided to enrol for the Oracle Certified Associate Java Professional (OCAJP) exam to validate my skills. Preparations for the exam, lead to more research on java and a deep dive into algorithms. I wrote the Java exam in July 2015 and passed.

I took a break from coding for two years to focus on a master's degree. I however resumed and decided to learn android development after I connected with a senior android developer, who later became my mentor. I used the Newboston tutorial on youtube to learn android development. My experience in Java made it easier to learn android. However, I encountered a lot of brick walls along the way and I had to consult my senior android developer mentor. There were several times I almost gave up after encountering challenges, but I somehow managed to pull through. I did all my training while maintaining a full-time job as a telecoms engineer. I had to study and code in very uncomfortable and extreme conditions even while on active work responsibilities.

I needed to validate my skills with android projects and I needed a backend for the project. So I picked up PHP/MYSQL training. I went ahead to build the frontend and backend of a fully functional android app and hosted it on the google play store. Building a fully functional portfolio app was an integral part of my learning, as I had to learn several concepts, frameworks and best practices along the way.

In 2019, I decided to make a career switch to full-time software development. It was a very daunting task as all my over eight years of work experience was in telecoms engineering. It was difficult to prove that I had experience in software development even despite having a portfolio of a functional app. I kept applying for jobs for up to 2 years. While at it, I was taking up app development gigs. I wrote several tests and had several interviews until I finally got a job offer in 2021 with a Nigerian tech start-up. Job search could be very draining, but my advice to job seekers is never to give up. Keep honing your skills, take feedback from the interview process, and invest in constant CV review.

After working in the Nigerian startup for about 6 months, I decided to attempt the big one, which is a foreign remote Job. With my now relevant over 6 months full-time experience, I reshaped my CV and managed to present 5 years’ experience by framing my side gigs into experience. Getting a remote job is even more difficult than a local job, as you are competing with nationals from all over the world for the same opportunity. My focus was on android development and the recruitment process usually involved algorithm test and building a live project. I used LinkedIn a lot for my applications by setting notifications for android developer roles. I had several reject messages and frustration was setting in until I finally landed my first remote Job in April 2022.

The remote working experience is the dream of every software developer. It is a very herculean task and takes a lot of persistence and constant honing of your craft. It is however easier to get another remote job after the first. I am on my second remote job at the time of writing this article.

Nice one. Thanks for sharing, good clarification.

Can't wait for William to become King, I just love that guy, and Kate too.

You think he didn't read Uju Anya's tweet? To him, all blacks are the same. They have shown their hatred for his mother and will collect, beta collect. Una neva see anything, continue hailing Uju.

Very SIMPle man.

I am yet to see an Hausa man publicly disown a fellow Hausa contestant.

Shame on Orji Uzo Kalu.

I even thought it was the pro model, this one is cheap, it's the one in my daughter's bedroom. As a single dad, I don't invite ladies to my home, they would just do jazz for me. The cars in my garage alone is worth some people's three generations investments. Money is nothing to me, I am a billionaire.

Calm down before quoting me, don't allow anybody 'tension' you on social media, everybody hollit on this street, too much money.

Please face your legit hustle, Evans the kidnapper just bagged 21 years imprisonment, Hush Puppi is awaiting his.

Work smart, be diligent, just believe....your time will come.

One love.

What is this madness? I find it difficult to understand this kind of desperation.

I pity the ladies that would ultimately fall victim, should one even pity them? They know what these boys dip their hands into, but still follow them upandan, thinking they can eat their cake and have it. Na their Papa and Mama I suppose pity.

hamouston91:
I noticed that most Nigerians feel so much achievement upon having a family member outside the country. I have seen Nigerians proudly declare the following (just an example tough) :

1. My uncle in Canada

2. My Aunty in UK

3. My Brother in the US

4. My son in Germany

5. My cousin in South Africa

6. My husband is in the United Arab Emirates

7. My daughter in Italy

8. My brother in Malaysia

9. My nephew in India

10. My brother sister uncle daughter son in Kuwait
Etc.
I observe a pride in each of these people, and I realized that it doesn't even matter which country the family resides in, for the homers, they always feel like they won a noble prize by having a family abroad.
Some of these people have families in Indonesia, Malaysia, Israel, Libya, Kuwait, Honduras, Greece etc. And they puff with pride as if it's a life worth achievement.
Others have families in the US, UK, Germany, Canada, France, South Africa, Australia etc, which is still note worthy.

But the Question is; why do most Nigerians count having a family abroad as a big achievement, and even make mockery of their fellow Nigerians who do not have a family member abroad. Or those who refuse to mention that they have families abroad?

Is it a Nigerian thing to behave like that, or is it a global thing, do other countries nationals behave like that?

Your opinion is the back bone of this thread. Thank you.

Most of those that feel 'somehow' have never travelled abroad before.

The Earth rotate towards - (negative or anticlockwise) side. Good declaration is like swimming against water current, but negative will flow by nature, no stress.
IS CALLED NATURAL FORCE.

More insights:

1. North (Downward Force) - Oppressors E.g. Northern Nig, North Korea etc.

2. South - Settlement. Thats why you hardly see Southerners outside their territory.

3. East (Wisdom) rising of sun brings or show the wisdom of God.

4. West (related to south) settlement and unperturbed.

Wetin you smoke this evening?

What exactly lead to the stabbing and eventually her death?

Seeker3:
Is this not the same UN General Assembly summit that most Heads of States develop sudden hatred for their seats when he starts to give his own speech?

Very shameful.

Must he even attend such events? Can't he just send someone who is intelligent, instead of going there to disgrace a whole country.

Lifeless dullard.

I'm not referring to PMB o, so don't quote me.

Buratai, who ordered the alleged shootings at the Lekki toll gate? You and Tinubu should answer that question.

If your votes do not count, nobody will offer you money or gifts for them. Please get your PVC.

From the 'streets' she was picked; to the 'streets' she shall return.

See what a woman can do to a man? See Prince Harry, see PSquare.

So, Al-Mustapha, Abacha's killer squad's head, is a Presidential candidate, interesting. This guy murdered numerous people including Kudirat Abiola. He is now contesting to be President, wonders shall never end. No wonder a man that cannot produce his certificate is Nigeria's President and another one that says he didn't attend primary and secondary schools wants to be President. This country is a joke, aswear.

callme9mm:
He will wipe Lagos clean. Like 85-90%

Stay there and be deceiving yourself. You think Lagosians like him and his insatiable greed? This election will mark the end of the Tinubu dynasty, mark my words for future reference.

ersonleads:
Please can someone help me on how I can go about traveling with my soon to be wedded wife Abroad. One of us will be schooling & working. The other will be working. Presently working on the funds.

How can it be possible & what country will be easier to on my intentions. Please I need your help because dis country done tire me

You better go first.

If you go with that lady, your premium tears go be pro max.

Sadly, I'm not a Tinubu supporter but my point is; this shouldn't come from an Abokey; a people who have produced two ailing presidents. I understand if it's coming from SS or SE; Jonathan didn't waste our money on medical tourism

There is no wrong time to take the right decision, also, there is no right time to take a wrong decision.

We as a nation voted for Yaradua and Buhari who were ill at the time and accept that we committed a blunder; should we now make the same mistake because of tribe? This Tinubu is ill and unfit to rule this country. It doesn't matter whether it's coming from an Aboki or SS/SE person; we should stand together and do the right thing this time around.

Remember, there is no market where only christians or southerners buy things cheaply, there is also no market where only Muslims or northerners buy things cheaply. Inflation, crime, unemployment, insecurity, corruption etc. do not understand tribe or religion, they affect us all.

Let us vote with our thinking caps on, not with sentiment or emotions.

God bless Nigeria.

I don't even know whether to congratulate her or not, but all I see is akin to a graduate who took up a job as a security man in a bank, only to end up as full staff and eventually a branch manager.

Well, make I sha congratulate her like that.

backnbeta:
But when bubu was quarter to his grave, he was good enough? Also Yaradua of blessed memory was good enough to rule even though he was sick and even died on the throne. Buncha idiots

What exactly is your point? That we should vote for an ill person because he is from your tribe?? What is wrong with you people?

Northerner Warns Nigerians Not To Vote Tinubu Because Of His Health.

But the man is saying the truth...

Keyamo. Shut up. Useless man. Fake activist, he see power and money, deny him so-called principles. True, you never know a man's true character until you give him power and money. So all those activism na because of hin pocket, not for Nigerians. Idiiot.

WibusJaga:
.

You don't need to be bat's doctor to know that he is gravely sick & has far passed his prime.

We've all seen videos & pictures of bat..
-stumble & collapse on a table
-struggle to flip thru pages during the primaries
-hands supported by Buhari & Adamu to raise flag
-urinate on his agbada
-speak incoherently
-forgot & stammered AC instead of APC
-supported to stand & walk
-use 2 hands to hold bottled water to drink
-unable to squat & pray in a mosque
...

These are all symptoms of Parkinsonism & Amnesia which definitely makes the bat physically & mentally unfit to effectively govern a complex country like Nigeria.

Exactly.

anonimi:
How is looting Lagosians of their trillions IGR instead of doing what Jakande did plus more, equal to life achievements for JagaBandit?
Are you also a looter by chance

Jakande's achievement is a case study on its own.

SpecialAdviser:
Obi step down for Tinubu is an insult I will take personal with you.

Even Nigerians will protest, this thing has gone beyond Obi himself.

SMGGroup:
So we are learning British history now, abi Explorers?

When will we start learning Nigerian history? Fear no go allow some people teach it to our children

The people you want to talk about in the history are still alive and many zombified morons will still vote for them.
