Baba, the country deh burst my head..


Yesterday night, I show my wife quadratic n cubic equation graphs. She think say na play I deh play when I say na broom stick we deh use draw am for naija...
She deh ask say why we no deh use software. Even Google no fit answer that question


Most Americans have no idea that waking up and breathing clean air then having enough for 3 meals a day is what some people in Africa pray for daily.

May God bless me with first world problems!

Lol software Ni hardware?
Me the day I wrote waec,I took a full broom to school and i sold each broom stick for 10#.I don't need to tell you how much I made that day .

Well it's such a shame that after all the mineral resources we have in nigeria( Africa) we cant boast of having an internationally recognised standard level of education.

Some people are frustrated and angry,not because they woke up on the wrong side of the bed but because they are Nigerians and Africans.
It such a shame!
Nigeria is a failed nation!
Ordinary peaceful protest,you get bullied,battered and subsequently killed.!

I regret being a Nigerian! I can say it anywhere and at any given time;forget about patriotism,THAT SH'T DOESN'T PAY IN THE COW NATION (NIGERIA)!!!!!

During the time I was preparing for one exam, I had to use ixl to learn. I was amazed at how easy it was learning mathematics and I used their software to plot graph. America is blessed.

I learnt that Seattle, WA is cheaper and considering the fact that is also on west coast.

Anyone living in Seattle? How’s the weather and cost of living. I’m a bit wary cos of the flight cost to naija all the way from Washington. That would be like 3 stops before you reach house

Holocene:

Seattle, WA is mostly compared to San Jose, CA in terms of lower cost of living unlike other areas in west coast, please MackyNaija enlighten us more.

From my research San Jose is just too damn hot for me. I like a bit of winter weather with a mild summer. I’ve been baked for too long in naija

I so much dislike hot weather that's why I can never consider a place like Arizona, Las Vegas etc. Around last two years or so, I saw where sunlight were melting objects, only God knows what it will do to the human body.

You can never get used to it if you were not born here or if this wasn't your first landing spot on entering the US.

Me wey don buy gas $1.70 for Texas, how I wan take get used to $3.50 per gallon??

My guys for Texas and Oklahoma still deh pay $600-$900 for rent. My own na $2,200 for 1bedroom... Abeg how I wan take manage this one!??

I try not to complain about it More Than 5 times DAILY
Na to comot I deh work on now, complaining does not change anything.

Dremca:

To the best of my knowledge, up from Berkeley all the way down to SanJose, the cost is same.

If you work in FAANG, you 'might' be able to bear the high costs since salaries are higher.

This life no balance. That means Mountain view, Palo Alto will be a "no go area."

I guess you're around Berkeley-Hayward area, but there should be cheaper because is not in located in the main silicon valley.

MackyNaija:
Laptop pressing engineer = Neatly ironed shirt + solid chino pants + sharp shoe + sweet lunch + apples and bananas + every other thing except work! No 'hard' engineering job - did I hear someone say that is not real engineering? That one na una business.

My salary still comes complete. I kant kill myself.

Or maybe they are just treating me nicely so I don't run to another company.
I caught the HR manager on hot mic during my first week of work saying something about me getting hired by google n co. There is a dearth of talent in the silicon valley region.

Big man, followed this thread judiciously, I’m at the verge of completing my Ir1 visa, infact I’ve completed the nvc stage, if not for covid19, I’ll already be in the US i have a Bsc in computer science from futa, though a 2.2 ... haven’t really worked with it in the last 5 years since graduation, i just dey street dey run various businesses. So my wife hinted upon getting to the states, i should get an msc from temple university, drexel university or even penn state, in software engineering. I like the idea and feel i can bag good grades and something in Silicon Valley in the coming years, do you think i have any chance with my low bsc grades ?, or i can kuku start again... computer engineering (4 years) try to get a perfect gpa, then proceed to fight for Msc in cyber security or any othere reliable field (2 years). I kindly need your input sir, big ups ������

Hey bro that was my quote a while back.. I work very closely with Indians and I have learnt so much from them. Honesty, information, learning/education and unity within themselves. All these are Alien to the black race. It is very hard to beat unity that is why they have taken over the IT sector in america. On the other hand we Nigerians are something else.. Nobody is willing to show you the way cos they want you to suffer and be beneath them.

The way they take the america thing so serious sometimes I ask myself, no be the same America all of us dey, america no pass like this na. Helping your fellow Nigerian is a problem, show them the small way you took is a problem.. it's so sad how we Nigerians treat each other in America.

I once talked about training people on my field to copy how the Indians operate they labeled me a liar, that the money I claim to be making is false. I kukuma keep quiet to allow them keep hustling day and night while I follow my Indians make 6 figures with ease.

My boss has spoken....make nobody challenge my boss ooo if not I go arrange THUNDER from Oshogbo make in corner am o

If your GPA is above 3.0.. try Omscs by Georgia tech.. $7k for a masters from a top school like Georgia tech is good deal and the acceptance rate is very high about 70-80%, the question be say you fit carry the load??

Congratulations on your "Almost a permanent resident" status, e no easy!

The only academic importance of your Nigerian GPA is for it to be coverted to a US GPA that's high enough to get you an admission in the US.

Your bachelors is juicy for the US market, na coding proficiency remain.

The major issue is - how good are you at coding?
Cybersecurity as I have read is another headache, they require mountain years of experience and certifications even for Entry jobs


Even failure analysis engineer job I see over the weekend deh ask for expertise in 1 programming language. Thunder fire them
I sabi programming like that naim I never go hustle Software Engineer job??
