Some people are making more than N10m per month. It depends on what you do.
Some content creators like MarkAngel are comfortably sitting on N5 to N10 million content materials per month.

Ok so I'm gonna say something at this point .

Someone mentioned "learn programming " and I can see the responses he got ... Forget HTML, CSS, JAVASCRIPT e.t.c ...forget all that crypto, Forex , digital marketing ....

But il say this yes Tech is your surest way of leaving poverty in the next 3 months .

But not as people say it .. (don't do web development or all that frontend and backend shit)

If I were to give one solid advice as my Indian colleagues are doing il say this :

Don't learn programming

Instead learn a CloudNative tool like KUBERNETES
But first you learn Linux, virtualization, Networking , Containerization , then Kubernetes,

Now listen , you start contributing to OPEN SOURCE via GitHub every fucking day ..

Then pick up Technical Writing on these same things ... Join the tech community, we are not loud , but see people get doings like mad

If you do all these and in 4 months you are making at least $700-$1000 dollars Monthly , by December 2023.

See all those people writing off programming up there , are because they only know Web development , frontend , backend people , and that whole HTML, CSS, JAVASCRIPT nonsense is crowded and saturated ...

I dare anyone here to show me any KUBERNETES ENGINEEER , or Kubernetes enthusiast for the last 4 months who isn't making at least 500 dollars Monthly

I'm waiting


Good afternoon boss, please can you guide me through on this, make I say bye-bye to SAPA.

Can I DM you Sir.

Over flogged?
Oh you mean HTML, CSS , JAVASCRIPT and all those we development nonsense you all call programming .
Boss you are very correct. I take this your post as the universe giving me a nudge to go ahead and learn dev ops.

Ive been doing a lot of research about it since i went on Upwork and obseved that most devops, kubernates, and docker jobs dont get a lot of bids unlike web dev jobs, and the pay is usually huge.

I was thinking of doing data analysis but almost everybtom dick and harry is doing it couple with the fact that its hard to get remote data jobs, and even data jobs in nigeria are not much.

I then decided to start downloading web dev tutorials today( sold my 0.2 ltc to get #10,000)before i remembered that i have a video of travis media recommending newbies get into tech via dev ops.

Boss abeg do you mind taking me under your wings ? I have 7 months till the end of my service year. I no want dey carry file upandan cry

Ive been learning python since February and i was delighted when i found out its one of the recommended languages to learn while going the dev ops route

Forex pays if you are disciplined. The percentage of successful traders we have are the few disciplined ones. If you ever lost money trading fx, sit back and ponder over your trading strategies and you'll see where you f**ked up. Its greed that kills most traders. If the likes of jefferey, habby, dapo Willis and some quiet dudes I know are milking the market, what makes you think you can't ?
Most people who taught forex 2005-2008 were mediocre traders. No experience. No access to resources. Internet wasn't handy back then....
Learn the skill very well from a mentor with good track record, reduce your expectations and start earning decent return monthly (10% - 15%)

The way people like you are quick to mention or recommend programming anytime someone ask for advice on a skill to learn,one will think that it's something everyone can do..You people are gradually bastardising this field and making it look like a get rich quick something.... 95% of Acclaimed programmers in Nigeria only started programming because of this same thing you're preaching to the OP and that is why most of them are and will remain quacks.. Nowadays i wouldn't even advice any company to hire Nigerian programmers because all of them are in it with the hope of getting rich quick.. But one thing i really love about that field is that, if 100 people Start the journey today, 90 will give up along the way, and 5 will end up becoming quacks... the field just has a way of filtering the best and those that really have the passion for it..

The filtering is not small, when it gets to the 3rd level, you'll have no option than to advise yourself to find another path for yourself.
I think it's over_hyped too.
The whites can't release the main secret to us and loose dominance in the tech world.

u are very correct but remember that people's standard of living might make them greedy by default. U always want to break the poverty barrier In ur lineage and this in itself makes u greedy unknowingly.

The state of California alone has more tech people than the whole of Africa combined. As a developing nation, the possibilities are endless. Those developers add innovative value that create more products, which means more revenue and more growth opportunities.

It's ironic and ignorant to say tech is flooded even in Nigeria. It's shows you need a background info first, before thinking of venturing into it

Good day nairalanders. I believe this is a great forum with lots of intelligent folks.. and that is why I have come to seek your counsel. Even though I haven't met anyone here but nairaland is like my online family


I think these are some key facts to note before you dish your advice (s). Here we go;


-I am a 23 years old male.
-I am the only son and eldest in a family of 2 and my dad is late.
-I am in 100 level (sponsored by my mum's relations) doing a 4 years course but sorry to say this, I don't rate school at all.. just there for the certificate (even though the course is highly rated)
-I am a pump attendant on a 25k salary (night work 7PM to 6AM) with one night off in a week.
-I have a nice USA used HP laptop that is laying idle in my room and my strong Tecno camon which can be used to learn some valuable skills.
-Lastly, I have the zeal to learn an online skill that can be very profitable in 3 to 6 months time and would stand the test of time in a long time to come; but I don't know which, how or where to start from. I seriously need to add another source of income (online) as this my current work is exhausting coupled with my schooling. No rest at all.



Pls my elders in the house, I sincerely need your advice at this critical point in my life. I don't want to make a grave mistake of not learning an online skill and be left out in the digital word. I don't want to continue forever in paid employment. It's no fun. I want to help myself and my family. I don't want to explain tire..


Kindly feel free to ask me whatever you may need to know. I will be reading from the comments. Thanks.
why not go into tech i mean learn programming
thats the fast rising aspect people are negelecting and in some years to come you would be glad you did learn it
i have a very sure plug and affordable one for you if you dont mind

hmm . Tell me about this please

Its about designing circuits on softwares that engineers can develop into devices people use. An example is inverter circuit. If you have the design on pcb, you can sell the raw files or even the pcb plates like the pictures i posted. Then whoever buys it can now solder the components and complete the device to sell. Its a highly lucrative skill on freelancing websites like upwork
