How Learning An ICT Course(programming Language) Made Me My First Million by BiafranBushBoy: 2:13pm On Feb 06, 2018 |
Several times I have written about lucrative courses that can make you rich in Nigeria, and Information Technology has always topped my list. Just yesterday I got an Email from an excited reader, and I am about to share now. Remember to pursue your passion with diligence. Here is the story I got in my mailbox from a reader called "Peter" “Some few years back I graduated from the university with a degree in Mass Comm. Sincerely I wanted to be a broadcaster or even a presenter at most. I finished serving and did all I could do to make myself stand out in camp. I participated in several things while in camp, and I continued getting recommendations from people. I thought the recommendations were great, till I finished serving and was faced with the Nigerian job market. At first, I thought it was my CV that was stopping me from getting a job. I did all I could about it, and even employed the services of a CV writer. He did his best, and it actually got me a job. I started to work as a radio presenter in one of the radio stations in Lagos with a salary that wasn’t enough to buy me a new phone. I came across Nairaland, and enquired what the owner does, I was told he was a programmer, and I decided to learn what he learnt and create my own forum (maybe I might become rich like him). I started searching for articles on how to become a programmer. I knew I was trying to imitate someone else, but it was just a risk I was willing to take. If I fail, I fail but if I succeed then it is good news. I started out my process by registering in an IT firm based on your recommendation (it was difficult due to financial constraints, but I had to endure). Working during the week, and studying during weekends were hell because no time to rest. I concluded my training after 8 weeks, did intensive practical and internship the training school helped me secure. After 6 months of all these, I resigned from my job and secured a job with an ICT firm. My pay was increased greatly, and I immediately upgraded my laptop and bought a new phone (it was actually necessary for my job). I continued learning and went deeper into App development, and I continued doing what I loved doing. I developed some applications that are currently in use, and I kept developing. Here comes the good news!! In one of the seminars I attended an event at Eko hotels in Lagos state, I discussed with a man about an idea I had. I never knew he works for a major bank in Nigeria. He gave me his number and asked me to call him. I went to his office on Tuesday, and we discussed the project. It took a while – proposals upon proposals just to convince them. I made a presentation to their management, and luckily I was accepted after negotiations were reached. I will be deploying the solution in a few months. The amount is mind-blowing, but I will be working with a team of other experts. I would have still been working as a presenter in the radio station with lots of fans all over Nigeria on Instagram and Twitter. But I knew I wanted money and not social media fans. This is just an encouragement piece for those who are about to give up. Programming is the main deal, but I also encourage you to follow your passion. If I can do it, YES YOU CAN. Please share with your readers. Yours sincerely Peter.” ![]() ![]() 2 Likes 1 Share |

obajoey: You can't learn on Nairaland. Either you self-study, or you find a suitable school, where you will have a mentor to guide you. Either ways, you can always check out the steps to take if you intend to start a career in Information Technology as a novice.. Further questions, you can post them here and get answers from other experts. |
