Bro people make millions with programming and web development. It's all grace and your luck to shine once you are good

Even if you want to go into yahoo having a basic understanding of HTML, CSS, JavaScript and python will give you a upper hand in it. Or better still you should learn and read more about SOCIAL ENGINEERING. Proficiency in social engineering alone can make you do wonders in yahoo and fraud in general. You can even do outsourcing (the route I intend taking) on upwork if you know the basics of of JavaScript and python. I ventured into yahoo but guilty feelings inside of me could not allow me to do it( oh Bob conscience wan kill me) So I had to settle for a web development course on udemy. When I understand the basics and inner workings of web development then I can source for projects and outsource them for a little profit.

..at least this one get conscience. Do to others what you wish is done to you

Op don't mind anyone that says you will do much better in Yahoo.

Freelancing pays depending on the sites you join. Upwork is amazing and if you are good enough after you learn to be accepted on sites like toptal or coding ninjas then the sky is the limit. Imagine earning like 60k dollars a year salary in Nigeria. This is possible If you can get accepted on toptal.

As for Jobs there's a ton of programming jobs in Nigeria but the pay might be too small for you. If working for a company is your thing then you should be on the hunt for remote jobs or jobs that come with relocation packages.

A friend of mine is a Blockchain developer in Nigeria. He presently earns 81000 dollars as salary. I linked him to a job I saw the pay was 30000 dollars he refused accepting it citing it as too low. He's presently hunting for 150k dollars a year job. The 81000 dollars job is remote while he also works for as a Blockchain developer for a Nigerian bank. The bank work gives him around 300k a month.

But you have to be good to get those high paying remote jobs o. You need to have projects to show off and you must learn data structures and algorithms. Oyinbo no dey take that thing play at all. Their interview questions are always based around those topics.

Having the knowledge is one thing. Knowing how to hunt for opportunities is another. You might be very good at a certain craft but if you can't hunt for opportunities you might have to settle with what is available.

This nothing but the truth, Yahoo Yahoo would never give you peace of mind and most of them are ritualists, but op need to know that programming is not something you would just learn today and start raking in million, it takes time to horn the skill but at the end it's always worth it

Knowing how to hunt is truly the game changer. Can you point me on how you hunt for jobs from onyibo people? That's my main aim to get a remote a job.

Somebody wants to learn fraud

we are finished in this country!

fejisky:
Don't need you to tell me how much you earn but is it that lucrative? Yes or no?

Programming is very lucrative and good.
It is easy because there is no too much stress.

fejisky:
A warm greetings to everyone here.. would like to ask few questions that might seem weird, also constructive criticism are welcome too.


Maybe it's just for me but I've never heard millionaires emerging from programming, isn't it that lucrative? Aside the earnings from salary whose job are quite hard to find in this country, freelancing is a bit competitive for newbies like me so where else can one earn after acquiring this skills? With the Advent of big tech companies, how can guys like me fit into the tech industry when almost everything has been created?


I need advice because am thinking of settling for either fraud (yahoo yahoo) or learn this programming.. Yes you heard me right, fraud. Yesterday a young lad in my compound bought a car worth 4million in just six months of learning this yahoo thing. I feel less of myself right now. Call me a jerk but am just been sincere with myself as am no longer a kid. Is it that this country no longer support legit job/skills or what?

From a honest fellow who just needs to find his path in this journey of life. Thanks

Visit the thread above and thank me later.

The main programming language he uses is solidity. It's relatively new.

Block chain uses Turin incomplete programming language... Ethereum uses solidity

tensazangetsu20:

Maybe wordpress kind of websites would be built with bots. Highly complex and responsive web apps would be built by real human beings. Besides solidity has a lot in common with JavaScript. Infact it's JavaScript on steroids. Anything web related can't do without JavaScript. It's getting used in game development and internet of things.

With the fast paced advancement of artificial intelligence, it is only a matter of time before AI start building web application by using a supervised learning model.
I have seen AI programs generate perfect faces of real people by just learning from a large data set of similar faces.
You can go to thispersondoesnotexist dot com and see for yourself.
That is just a tip of the iceberg. Many people think this ai is hard coded not knowing that it can learn on its own using large dataset and applying deep learning.
There are bound to be errors but with the rapid pace of emerging AI technologies, it will just be matter of time before you see AI building too notch web apps.
All that is needed is to get large data sets of ecommerce website source code and apply a few deep learning and boom, it will generate thousands of ecommerce website that is at the same standard or better than the training data set.

Let's watch and see ten years form now what will happen in the AI world.

JavaScript can be used for AI and machine learning too. Ever heard of tensorflow js.

AI is AI whether built with JavaScript or Guava Script.
My point is based solely on the AI part not the language used to build it.

If that ever happens JavaScript developers will quickly port to machine learning specialists

Better go for yahoo, yahoo. Dont scam Nigerians sha. Go for oyinbo people wey already get money.

Nothing again in programming.


I've closed my laptop a long time ago.


Programming was lucrative before in the past.

Are you serious���

I earn 1.9 million naira a month (middle east). I have over 8 years if experience. If you are a good programmer, you will be comfortable

Let's not derail the thread.

Programmers can still make a decent income in this country. Be prepared to do the hard work for the first five years of beginning your career to get ahead.

There are so many technologies and frameworks required by programmers including DevOps, software testing, and machine learning experience. Calm down and start from the basics.

Hop on any MOOCs others like LinkedIn learning, Edx, Alison, etc, and get a few diploma courses done.
Build a few portfolio projects, then seek an internship or free volunteer work. Your project portfolio will get you hired mostly.

There is money in programming but passion always comes first and the desire to help people or solve a problem. Putting money before anything will get you confused. Remember that knowledge, skills, and experience leads to success and money that you are looking for.

As a programmer,
1. You can get a full-time/or part-time job/Contract/remote work. Some smart guys combine two jobs, the other being remote but would not advise you do that as a beginner
2. Work as a freelancer (e.g Upwork, freelancer, Nairaland)
3. Build software products to sell to companies
4. Sell your completed projects on open market software platforms like codecanyon.
5. You can setup your own software development /IT consulting in future
6. Start a One-man Website design agency.
7. Build the next Facebook, IG or Twitter, even Nairaland.
Cheers.

Please let us not encourage this. People should never ever work for free for a company. It cost blood sweat and tears to acquire those skills. Instead of working for free for those companies they should work for free for themselves and build up their brand name.

CAVEAT

This is a true story:
A very smart friend of mine was hoping to study computer science in the university, so he started to learn web development after SSCE. When he got admitted to study computer science, he got to understand the degree chasing is different from reality (who uses Pascal, Fortran, etc.).
Maybe peer pressure or inquisitiveness, he got into cyberSpaceTrick (Yahoo Yahoo), he flourished because he could build website to convince his clients.
Fast forward to graduation, he knew what he wanted. All these years he had been saving up for Masters in America. He got an IT related M.Sc in America, funded by him not scholarship. He told me after leaving that he spent a fortune for that, quoting him verbatim 'I did not womanize or engage in all the forms of youthful exuberance and rendezvous in the university because this was the plan'. The hommie saved all the cyberSpaceTrick funds for the greater tomorrow.
In less than 1 year after commencing his program, he got a developer job there in America, JavaScript dev. $60k per annum, after working for 1 year, the company secured him a 10 years residency. Now his salary must have been increased and they are working to make him a citizen.

N.B: I did not write this long epistle to encourage fraud but to let the doubters know that programming pays. If it does not pay here, then work out modalities to port!!!
