Don't even waste your time on that mugu. How many middle class American can rent a three bedroom house or even pay tuiton fee out of their pocket for their kids? To afford a car they have to take loan that won't be paid for in another 6 years same car when shipped here people can afford to buy 5 million naira cash. These fools were all failures in Nigeria before they traveled out. Someone earning just 300k annually in Nigeria is better than a middle class America. Middle class America is based on salary, most of them are in debt and don't own much. youngestland: 2 Likes 1 Share |

sharpwriter: - You'll pay $25 for Google Play Store Account Registration - You'll use the remain $50+ to get a domiciliary account at any Nigerian Bank (usually its a $100 for registration but some banks collect $50) Am sorry, I won't be dropping my number or replying emails......however if there is anything assistance you need you can ask on this thread or create another thread and i'll be more than willing to help. The reason is so that other people who desire to start making money from the Play store can learn from the questions and solutions provided. Stay Blessed! 3 Likes 1 Share |

donniemc: I also am not a certificate freak, however I think you should try to finish what you started, especially in a country like Nigeria. Just take it as a another feather on your cap. I asked you a question earlier. if I want to learn programming for Android , where can I learn it without prior knowledge of anything about programming before? |

Fingerprinter: Freelancer, full-time freelancer. Honestly, there is a lot of money to be made in Nigeria!, you don't have to set foot outside this country to be successful. This guys for Instance make close to $1 million every month here in Abuja.

generationz: You sound like my mum. Thanks for the concern. However i believe that "He who has not found what he can die for is not fit to live". Honestly am not doing this for myself alone. In the future i want my life to be a source of inspiration to younger generations of Nigerian. I want them to know that they can take risks pursue their dreams and become successful without bowing to societal pressure and beliefs e.g (You cant become successful unless you get a certificate e.t.c) Anyways, If you want to get started with learning programming you can take this simple interactive course at: https://www.codecademy.com/blog/75 https://www.codecademy.com/ Thanks again for the concern |

donniemc:I know there is money in this country especially if you are earning in dollars. I know because I currently freelance on fiverr as a writer. I know how much I make in a month but I seriously want to polish my programming skills. I can see you are a good programmer. How can you help me polish my programming skills again. I was programming with php (not oophp), procedural in the past but I had a challenge that set me back and I had to abandon everything programming for more than 2 years. Now, I want to go back to programming. I'm already brushing up my php skills. Would you advise me to continue with php or learn another language? |
Re: Lies Of Nigerians Living In America by donniemc: 8:50pm On Nov 18, 2017 |
Fingerprinter: Great!, am glad you are making a comeback into the world of programming. honestly i think you should just learn Kotlin (For Android Development) https://kotlinlang.org/ Swift(for Ios development): https://developer.apple.com/swift/ Also since you are a php guru you should take a look at Laravel https://laravel.com/ If you can master any of these 3 languages you should be good to go....also Artificial intelligence is booming!. Also i would like to work on my English. As you can see my "punctuation" is very terrible . Am guessing we can both help ourselves here 1 Like |

If I learn kotlin, do I need to learn any other additional language to become good in android? |

timesup234:I had wanted to ignore this thread like a plague because I could sense someone hating on Nigerians in diaspora for only God knows. However, i will quietly drop a few comment. Firstly, your opinion is clearly bias and over-exaggerated. I bet you over 50% of bank managers in Nigeria, if given a chance to work and live in the US would do so without blinking, leaving their almighty "bank manager" role. For the records, I had the opportunity to work with a fellow naija brother at one of the top 4 banks in the US. The dude was always grateful for relocating to America even though he was a bank manager at Skye bank (Nigeria) for over 4 years. Please STOP poisoning the minds of Nigerians in Nigeria who might be contemplating relocating to the US/Europe. Note: The US/Europe might be over hyped but its sure better than naija in every terms you can imagine. God Bless Nigeria. 9 Likes |

generationz: Sista, If I should advise you like you advised me on this same Forum. You should learns the basics of Programming First. 1. Conditional statements. 2. Loops 3. Basic Operations 4. Logical thinking 5. Features of Object Oriented programming like Inheritance, Polymorphism, Abstraction, Encapsulation. Further more, after learning all these. You should strive to learn IOS development for iPhone instead of Android. The platform is more stable & Pay is relative 25% better globally. Also Females have more advantage now in this field as at now. People will argue with this. But (If you know, You know) |

sharpwriter: Yup, You have to reach the $100 threshold before your money can get payed into your Account!.Also it's not MMM you can't make an app today and get $1million in you bank tommorrow. Let me explain how it works 1. You make / buy the app 2. You include admob ads in the app 3. You publish it on the Google Play store 4. You start getting downloads Now, If you get 1,000,000 downloads (usually takes about 5 months if the app is great). You would be earning around $300 - $700 per day if its an app people use multiple times in a day. If you are very fortunate and you get 10 million downloads then that's between $3,000 - $7,000 per day. However, Your chances of having one app get get 10 million downloads is about 4%. Even just common 1 million downloads can be a problem. Most apps on the Play Store are stuck between just 5,000 - 10,000 downloads (you earn like $10 per day). The winning formula is to have as many apps on the Play store as possible. For instance 96% of apps on the play store make around $10 per day. So lets assume you have 50 average apps thats: 1 app earns $10 50 apps earns = $10 x 50 = $500 per day . That is the winning formula!. Again this is not MMM!. If you have other business you want to invest in please go ahead.But if you are willing to learn, be patient and invest in apps. My brother you will not be disappointed. You will be doing like N800k per day, You problem will now be how to keep a low profile so that you don't draw unnecessary attention to yourself. Trust me!, its a gold mine!. But like most things in Life it reqiures patience, investments and leaning. 4 Likes 1 Share |

generationz: Yes, I am. There is a very high demand for Females in this Industry, Survey says there are 92% of Male programmers in the World. Very few females. So companies are trying to balance it. The demand is way too higher than supply. Opportunities are endless for Females. So If you are not lazy & can put in work 4 hours every day for 6 months. You are fine. You can also become a female programmer & still maintain your fresh feminine look, and stylish dress sense with nice hair. Nothing wrong with that, you don't have to be manly. Please take a look at Lyndsey Scott who is a Model & a programmer (IOS) , https://stackoverflow.com/users/2274694/lyndsey-scott Stay blessed. |

Why U.S. Women Still Die During Childbirth Death rates are down around the world—but not in the United States More U.S. women are dying from pregnancy or childbirth complications today than in recent history, causing alarm stateside as maternal mortality drops worldwide. The United Nations set a goal to reduce the global maternal mortality rate by 75% between 1990 and 2015, and while most nations succeeded in lowering that number, the U.S. has experienced an uptick in recent years. A report published in the September issue of the journal Obstetrics & Gynecology found that from 2000 to 2014, the maternal mortality rate for 48 states and Washington, D.C. increased 27% from close to 19 deaths per 100,000 live births to close to 24 deaths per 100,000 live births. In Texas, the rate doubled between 2010 to 2012. Another recent report from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation reported a rise in the U.S. maternal mortality rate since 2000 (with a slight drop in the past two years), and a 2015 report from the World Health Organization (WHO) pointed out that the U.S. has a higher maternal mortality rate than Iran, Libya and Turkey. The WHO determined that half of the U.S. deaths were preventable. “This is a really important issue,” says Marian MacDorman, author of the Obstetrics & Gynecology study and a research professor at the University of Maryland. “These are deaths of young women with families and often young children who need care.” Here’s what may be at play: Record keeping problems: National data on maternal mortality is inconsistent, and some health authorities argue that the uptick in maternal deaths is at least partially due to improved detection of pregnancy-related deaths. However, MacDorman says the 27% increase observed in her study is a true rise in maternal deaths, rather than a reporting issue. More American women are obese: America’s growing obesity problem is a factor. There’s also a growing number of pregnant women in the U.S. with chronic health problems like high blood pressure, heart disease, and diabetes—all of which put women at a greater risk for complications during pregnancy. According to the CDC, heart-related problems make up a substantial portion of pregnancy-related deaths. Access is inconsistent: Between 2000 to 2015, Texas saw a spike in maternal mortality while the state also underwent changes to reproductive health services, including the closure of several clinics offering abortions and other services. In 2011, the state’s family planning budget was cut by two-thirds. Experts say the lack of access is probably not solely responsible for the state’s dramatic spike in deaths, but as The Texas Tribune reports, it may have exacerbated the issue. “I’ve done my best to try to investigate this as a data error and I can’t find any changes to account for it,” says MacDorman. “It’s very concerning what’s happening in Texas.” Racial disparities persist: Black women in the United States are up to three times more likely to die in pregnancy and childbirth compared to white women. While they are not significantly more likely to develop conditions like hemorrhage and preeclampsia—which threaten a women’s health during childbirth—they are more likely to die from them. Rise in cesarean births: The rates of c-section deliveries among American women rose 53% from 1996 to 2007, now accounting for 32% of births. “Cesarean has its place, and it has saved the lives of mothers and babies,” says Dr. Michael Lu, an associate administrator with the Maternal and Child Health Bureau at the Health Resources and Services Administration. “But cesarean has its complications and these can increase the risk of maternal death.” C-sections require intensive surgery, and are associated with higher health and safety risks for mothers and infants. Women are having children later: Lu says older women are at a greater risk for maternal mortality, with a couple caveats. “It’s not clear whether it’s age, or that older women have more chronic conditions when they enter pregnancy,” he says. “The demographic of childbearing is changing. Women are getting older and they are entering pregnancy with more conditions like obesity, diabetes, and heart disease.” To combat the problem, Lu says his department is focusing on improving the health of women before they get pregnant, and improving the quality and safety of maternal health care nationwide 1 Like
