Seun is surely applying... But then; Since I joined this forum in 2013, I've never seen a tangible upgrade or modifications. We are still stucked with his early 2000s forum that goes offline whenever it wishes. Nairaland forum is just like the present administration, where garbages are recycled year-in-year-out. 22 Likes 3 Shares |

Don't bother! A Nigerian will not win it! IBM should rather present a competition for hacking into people's bank account. The gbegiri guzzling snakes of omoluabeasts of no nation will win that one! 1 Like |

I am a programmer and I want to enter for this. I code in Ruby and Rails and have a working knowledge of HTML 5, CSS 3, Bootstrap-4 and multiple ancillary technologies (minitest, git, sass, bash) If you are proficient in front or back-end design or have an idea we can implement, I am open to remote partnership on this project. Just hit me up. We can start by reviewing our git profiles and move on to collaboration. Lets give it a shot and win this for Nigeria! 6 Likes 1 Share |

WhichKindWahala: Too far. I teach programming privately in Benin. You need to look for a good programmer near you, or enroll in a developer school in Lagos. A last option is to learn on your own - difficult and doable but very slow. |

WhichKindWahala: It all boils down to you: Programming has a broad scope but the first decision you need to make is; choosing between WEB DEVELOPMENT: if you're creative with designs, this is for you. Starting point: HTML/HTML5 and CSS/CSS3 What you can do with it: Create and design websites and web apps SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT: if you're creative with problem solving. Starting point: PYTHON is highly recommended. What you can do with it: websites(server-side(that is not visible to the users)), mobile/desktop apps, games and lot more! ibkayee and CodeTemplar can also be of tremendous help! 3 Likes 1 Share |
