jUeLiZ: Bro if you follow what people say, you will never move forward. When I wanted to start freelancing, na this kind people come dey shout say it is saturated, but I went and did my homework and now it's paying me. Same with Amazon Kdp, I can recall when people here were saying it was saturated, but somebody like evb2000 started casing out as recent as late 2022, because she did her homework. In fact nothing cast reach yahoo, but boys still dey cash out. There are still tech guys running 2 jobs as we speak. I know of some sapa tech guys, but if you check well they are not that good or are not going about it the way they are supposed too. Some don't even know where to look for jobs. In this game, you have got to give it your all and do things differently. Connect with people wey sabi game, humble yourself, no to dey do I too know (which is common among tech guys) Last but not least, pray for grace in anything you do, tech or not. 9 Likes 1 Share |

I think people going into Tech, should change their mindset from "acquiring the skill to work for a firm" to "acquiring the skill to build something new". 1 Like |

fastseo: Naira? You still underpaid, and you buttressing that point. I was receiving far more than that 13 years ago when the game was still banging. The value is dropping. Thatās my point. I believe you not on the international stage and dont know what's playing. So if I offered you 3m/month, you still would believe I am doing you well? That's exactly what they doing with Indians, Pakistanis and Lebanese's, and they madly appreciate the pay. |

jUeLiZ:They're fear mongers bro, don't mind them. Me that I'm also learning and answering questions on social media got contacted but I refused as I don't want their low offer, I'll soon go into Blockchain development. Keep learning, I learn every day and everytime I drop my phone I go to my system and continue. Don't let these people distract you. One thing I've observed and you might not know is Nigerians like being gate keepers, I've benefitted from so many foreigners in tech, one even sent me money to try his app. Levels dey oh, but you have to be very good. 4 Likes |

AllenSpencer: Mr billionair I still don't know what you are talking about..... what am saying is that tech is the the last hope of the common man.... the youth most especially now that unemployment is a problem in Nigeria. I will advise those still standing on the fence to take a queue, get a course and learn something and start earning rather than working for 50k naira per month. or working as a contract staff in bank. tech is not saturated there is still space to fit in.. am a living testimony 6 Likes |

fastseo: I am telling you reality! I have worked in 3 different continents with 3 multinationals. I never said IT is saturated, Its the value that comes with it that is going on an all time low! If you know old players in this game, go ask them! In Nigeria especially, cos Nigeria was holding Africa and Middle-East down in those days. Unlike today, over 500 million have that skill! I travelled intercontinental for a 30 minutes job then. Unlike now, those skills are everywhere and can even be done for free. 3 Likes 1 Share |

FOOLS CAN USE THOSE REASONS UP THERE AS EXCUSES NOT TO DISTINGUISH THEMSELVES IN THE TECH SPACE WHILE OTHERS WHO KNOW WHAT THEY WANT KEEP SMILING TO THE BANK EVERY FRIDAY. I SEE MANY WHO JUST SAY IT WITH EASE THAT THEY WANNA GET INTO THE TECH SPACE BUT ARE SO LETHARGIC AND WEAK LIKE A LITTLE WORM. THEY WILL NEVER EARN A DOLLAR. WHAT MANY DON'T KNOW IS THAT IT IS THE TECHIES IN MANY 3RD WORLD COUNTRIES WHO ARE TAKING ON MOST OF THESE JOBS FROM THE WEST AND ARE MAKING SERIOUS MONEY.

dreamxhaser: Not envy sir. The best of course will make it. Being the best in most situations is an anomaly, I mean hardwork, luck, divine intervention. Yes, even the sperm cell that makes it to the egg is an anomaly. In economical situation, 60 - 80% should be able to get something decent. That's not what job market should be like. This is no more matter of best anymore techies have been overpaid in the last 20 years and that has peaked now. Companies are ready to pay chatgpt and llms $2 an hour. Not some disgruntled, ego driven lazy senior developer who think he deserves $100 an hour. We are at the point of no return. It's a new world since pandemic ended. Find a side skills most jobs will be archaic in 3 years. |

RedpillAnalyst: U see! I suspect am. Na AI dey make una talk all these things. I have seen your types on Twitter and Reddit happy to see AI do peoples job. I used to think AI will replace us all a few months back but guess what? AI can't still do the simplest job which is writing. Which serious companies replaces humans with chatgpt. What can you code with GPT? Snake game? Besides even that snake game needs a programmer behind GPT to get the best results. To me GPT is not different than what grammly is to writers. Lolz, gpt is more of a tool than a replacement. I don't see gpt replacing humans in the next 10 years. Stop following all this hype by twitter influencers. From my experience freelancing, I've come to realize companies don't care about cost. It's all about quality to them, you will see people paying hundreds of dollars for the simplest tasks. so I don't see them trusting their business in the hands of AI. 2 Likes |

Bro you said it all. Just lopsided boom that won't be felt and ineffective. See countries where there is all round inclusivity, you see it reverberate across all strata of their economic lives! Check out real estate in Nigeria, almost all the high-tech and modern shelters being built by friends and allies of those in government are just there atrophying away without inhabitants, because the middle class is hollowed away leaving the richest and the poorest. Bro make we leave matter abeg. Even the blind knows what is happening in these third world African countries with Nigeria as their Goliath! Vilgax: |

Those who are saying tech is saturated are saying absolute nonsense. They rather say tech is now getting much attention from people. Tech is a difficult career which only the gains is for those who are ready to sacrifice for it. 2 Likes |

The only tech niche flourishing in this country is ICT. We also need large investment in real tech like car manufacturing, consumer electronics, green energy, industrial machines etc. These are what actually create enormous job opportunities as we have seen in the case of China and India. |

dreamxhaser:Some people don't like to take hopium more than necessary. Sooner or later it will get there. I still know people who have video cassettes. Typewriter is still being used in some offices. Of course, if a "tool" can reduce 200 editors and writers to 12. In principle, it has replaced 188 people. Ask why many Nigerian freelancers are not getting gigs anymore ![]() |

RedpillAnalyst: This is not a matter of using video cassettes or typewriters. Typewriters were only replaced by a better typewriter (the computer). Just like how mobile phones replaced telephones (Machine replace machine but human still has to operate the machine) We are talking about AI replacing humans in the next 10 years. Who would trust his business in the hands of AIs alone? Nobody, so you still need a human behind the wheel. So, the concept of completely replacing humans is out of the picture for now. Now back to your concept of AI reducing the number of workforces. If we are to go by that analogy, even the business will go out if market someday. Because it will be easier for every tom dick to start similar businesses at lower cost. Therefore if 188 writes were laid off by the company because AI has made operation less costly. Don't you think more similar competitions will likely pop up and hire 12 writers each from the 188 laid off because it has become cheaper and easier to start a same business? Or why don't you think the businesses will use AI to increase their workers productivity. Which means more profit even if they have to continue paying writers. So it's either more businesses pop up because of cheap labour (AI) and end up hiring the same tech guys. Or the businesses will use AI to increase their worker's productivity. Therefore leaving new competitions far behind. Don't you think the businesses will be better off upscaling their worker's productivity with AI for more profit than just cutting costs? They day AI will cause any serious disruption will be the day it can completely replace humans. That will happen sooner or later. But this isnt that time. Freelancers have being complaining for year's about low businesses. While at the same time you will see some people celebrating that the number of gigs they receive has increased. The market has been fluctuating for year's, especially Fiverr. But this time, people tend to pin it on AI because of the gpt Hype. 1 Like |
