Recently, my 13-year-old niece came home for the summer holidays. To get her productive, I searched for the top programming schools for kids and teens in Nigeria. Before we dive in, here is why your kids should acquire tech skills.

It is no secret that coding for kids is becoming the new rave in tech. In today's technology-driven world, kids are surrounded by smartphones, video games, websites, and even robots. Coding teaches kids how digital technology works and opens their eyes to new possibilities.

Coding for kids is one of the most lucrative skills for kids in our time; children with programming skills are more likely to enjoy mathematics, develop their problem-solving skills, and increase their chances for better career opportunities.

Generally, programming schools for kids teach coding and other tech-related skills to children, preferably between the ages of 4 and 17. They provide kids with an understanding of how computers work.

If you are a parent looking for the best coding schools for your kids, I understand your concern. My goal with this article was to identify the top 10 programming academies for kids and teens in Nigeria; I hope it will help you make better decisions regarding your kids' tech careers. Now, let's dive in:

Hi guys. What useful skills can my kids learn this summer holiday? I want them to utilize this summer holiday.

I totally agree. I think the best thing as a parent is to get them exposed to various activities from an early age

thesicilian:

You can start but the best thing to do in my opinion is to let the child naturally get to choose his or her own career .
What one should do over time as a parent is to expose the child as much as possible to various activities from an early age.

Thank you.

I am into importing from China and retailing over here in Nigeria but finding a good wholesaler is hard.
I have been scammed twice and now I'm tired of doing trial and error.

I will like to get recommendations on good sellers of used or refurbished laptops and smartphone.

Thank you

Schooling abroad is almost the wish of every student, but hardly comes true because of how expensive it is.
The fact is, 80% of foreign students in schools abroad are either in a full scholarship program or partial scholarship.
Now the question is, why are you not one of them?. Simple, because, YOU DONT KNOW.

This era the world is in, knowledge is power and those with knowledge/information, stay on top.
Let God use me to help you stay on top.

One of the chair attributes of God is His omniscience.
It's a word comprising two parts.
The first part, 'omni', means 'all', and second part, 'science', relate to knowledge. That means He is an omniscient God who knows everything you say, everything you think, and everything you do.
The story is told of a wealthy grandfather who had a hearing aid fitted. When he went for a routine check-up, his doctor commented, 'Your family must be happy to know that now you can hear.' The grandfather said, 'Actually, I haven't told them about the hearing aid. I just did around and listen to their conversations--and I have changed my will twice!'
God wants to bless you, but sin and disobedience can keep that from happening. When David commited adultery with bethseba, he tried to conceal it. But God exposed him. In God's eyes the only thing that is worse than sin is your unwillingness to own up to it.
Finally, David came clean and prayed, 'Against You, You only, have I sinned, and done this evil in Your sight...'(Psalms 51:4).
Then he added, 'Purge me with hyssop; and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow' (Psalms 51:7).
Note two important words: 'hyssop', which spoke of branch dipped in blood during passover, and 'wash'.
David needed spiritual bath and God gave him one. The fact is, God knows your 'every work...whether good or evil', and no mater how badly you've failed, he will cleanse you, forgive you, and restore your joy.

wow

this is sad.
reach me at piushenry3@gmail.com I would like to help school abroad.
I wouldn't charge you a dime (if I do you can go ahead and ignore me and block me)..
but you will have to register for TOEFL (yourself).
I was once at home for 4 yrs and I know how frustrating it is.

Please no other person should message me, my services are not free and no offence but due to how conniving people are, I wouldn't believe any story about being at home for years.
Thank you

Thanks
