I've noticed this too not just AI sef, even game is hardly discussed almost like we have only JavaScript and python programmers in Nigeria, no C, C++ few in java, nobody is into unity with C# and I think it's hurting our tech space cos there won't be any startup like Adobe coming out of Nigeria or even operating systems, powerful games etc

If poverty in Nigeria is fixed, people will do all this. Vietnam already has branches of popular game companies. A large amount of indian devs were part of the team that made dishonoured become human. Poverty needs to die in Nigeria first and people will code the moon.

hahn:


For real.

To hustle to buy fuel and then put on your gen to code is not exactly motivating

tensazangetsu20:

Internet no dey sef. Very good internet from IPNX is 200k a month, a junior dev salary. Beans is 700 naira for a cup. Beans o.

hahn:


A cup abi derica?

The country is getting harder every day man

plus exploring other part of our economy. for naija, power supply which is important for tech is second to zero here.

tech budgeting na zero........if not technology can be used to combat most of our national problems ranging from health, security, education, businesses etch......just like other part of the world that has made life easy with technology and innovations........ na only oyel.....

tensazangetsu20:

I went to buy today and was so shocked. Little wonder all the akara vendors around me have closed up shop. I just cant imagine how the low income earners in Nigeria are surviving. Na him person go see all this one dey do AI. . Derica between. It was 450 a month ago.

No imagine am o. The sakpa is real for us

I remember when I an wifey could cook stew and soup with N1,000.

N1,000 now can't buy sh1t.

Naija 2021 is on fire

tensazangetsu20:

Just close your eyes and imagine 2023 and beyond.

hahn:


2023 and beyond in Canada or anywhere far away from Nigeria

tensazangetsu20:

Absolutely but you see even at its low state, the government hates and despises tech.They want everyone poor and suffering and living on Npower. You see a future Japan for Nigeria, they imagine a place that can be worst than Afghanistan and Somalia combined.

The environment does not support development bro.

Allow people learn html, css, javascript first so they can least put food on the table and work out how to travel out of the country.

The stress here is way too much

Genesiszero:


Reason why we can never compete with the rest of the world, Nigerians often time depends on one thing, once they know that thing, they don't easily let go......until e cast!!!

These is what has kept Nigeria stagnant the way it is today.
No diversifying of economy...........

In India, Vietnam, USA, Europe and other part of the world, they don't depend or focus on one thing. they have good programmers in different aspect of programing ranging from game, software, robotics, web, embedded systems, UI/UX, Ai etc..........but here in naija, na one thing!!!!! expect for few who have a different non popular niche.

And for developing operating systems, hmmm make I no talk.....who wan stress themselves for here? na to use finished product na him we sabi........better people go sit down, think and then come out with libries, frameworks, then we go just rush go learn to use them......that's all!!!

with these kind mentality, I no sure say we go ever compete with other part of the world in terms of technology!

white man dey explore every part of something........

KunleyY19:


I love your point. It's a general problem in Nigeria. We get fixated on one thing before it finally cast. Once somebody writes a story on how he earns huge amount of money from a particular thing you see people rushing into that same thing. It's a race of survival here in Nigeria and not a race of innovation...

arejibadz:
ai requires lot of praticals which you cant get tools or equipment in nigeria.....the world is leaving us behind bro

ichidodo:
Most Nigerians hate maths and aren't intelligent enough to think out of the box never mind to think abstract...All we like to do is copy and paste..Is it a wonder web designing is the most popular? The irony is web designing needs so much expensive hardware to execute properly and yet is lowest paid while data analysis, automation, robotics etc can go with a moderately cheap hardware, enough space to create your own algorithmic niche and be paid very well for it...

Genesiszero:


Brilliant.........

we don't just want to brain storm or think out of the box.....
And data science, automation, robotics demands higher scale of problem solving ability and that's where application of advanced maths equations comes into play in developing algorithms.

just develop one Ai algorithm that solves a very hard problem that seems impossible, just one, you're fvcking millionaire with a long term financial sustainability while solving other problems........ but to do the thinking and intelligence related task, you no go see anybody.

these is why elon musk keeps racking in millions of dollars (automation).

na just to dey do one thing over and over for here!!!

Ai systems are taking over some tech sectors as we are speaking, these AI offers better proficiency, accuracy, durability and lots more.

who wan dey stress himself dey build softwares to do big works?

A friend recently started designing some neural network algorithm for breast cancer detection from infant stage, these Neural network automatically generate a HTML encodings of the features detected and automatically display them on your browser........even with some CSS stylings too, the Ai does that by itself......

He's still developing the whole system, though with some issues as it stands presently which i think is normal for every new innovation, but a good progress and improvement is already being observed.

He test run the system for me...mehn, I was wowed and marveled..... I couldn't help it especially in the automatic web generated pages........

later learnt that he lost an Aunty due to breast cancer!!!!!!

ichidodo:
The environment with all the intelligence is too harsh for such ideas to be developed so folks go for the easy way out..You have to be emotionally invested and pained to embark on challenges such as automation,robotics,Ai etc to solve real life problems...I never liked maths but I loved computers and how they worked...the languages on offer then were too abstract, enough for me to get brain damage but God bless whoever made python, now I can read and write code like one who's writing an article or reading a newspaper without getting migraines...I wrote an AI to recognise human behavioural patterns in the forex market thereby giving itself a market edge on making money trading forex for His Father (me) without the emotional drama that comes with being personally involved in that activity...And that was my passion alone to learn AI and deep learning..
