It's nice to know there's someone who also likes what you like... I like that as I'm watching, I'm also learning different defense mechanisms for different animals. The most fascinating for me is that of porcupines, very small but no predator can hunt it when it's spike is up

yea so true

Though I watched a series were one was killed by a lion.
The lion persisted, maybe it was hungry cause porcupine got no flesh.
snakes and crocodiles gives the lion a hard time

Lemmy123:
This year has been the most successful year for me in my writing career. Upwork was frustrating me. I sent hundreds of proposals but I don't get response, I almost lost it. LinkedIn was full congratulatory messages from people whom I think are over exaggerating. Nairaland was my saving grace at the end of the day... Don't joke with this platform, and learn to guide your utterances at all times, no be everything be cruise.

That said, I already got myself a beast Redmi Note 10 Pro mid year, and I ended the year with a 43 inch LG LED TV... I'm a suc.ker for gadgets. It might not sound like so much achievement but it means a lot to me. Especially because I worked every dime for it.

On Christmas day, chicken lap shall not pass me by insha Allah and visit to old time friends place. Christmas is done. I'll be indoor for most of time though, NatGeo Wild and all. I love to watch animals tear each other's windpipe and suck the blood directly from there.... Jeez I know I sound like a psycho right now. Forgive me. Lions, hyenas, foxes, bush dogs, tigers, leopards, I love to see them in action.





Rounding up, I want to be free this festive season, I don't want to wake up to mind bugging deadlines. Work has a way making you lose that peace of mind sometimes, but I asked for it, so what can I say??

I gatch you on natgeo wild.
Watching natgeo for me is like reading a book. I relate it to real life experiences, how life is all about survival of the fittest,
choose to be naive as the goat family and get scammed repeatedly. These ones comes to a lion/tiger zone and stays a distant apart thinking that they are in a herd(many) or we are all animals. Dont know what they are actually thinking until the king of the jungle becomes hungry and decides to eat and that's when the goats will come back to their senses but then its too late.

Watching the lions display is another thriller for me. No matter what you are wait until the lions decide on your matter.
I learn boldness, fearlessness and the never give up attitude; they succeed in only 20% of their hunt and fail in 80%.
Different tactics for different hunting escapades.
I could go on and on . Nothing psycho at all

Getting myself a samsung phone hopefully

please is the physical verification still ongoing?

Tensazangetsu20 I must acknowledge that you were a massive contribution to my 2021 on the Programming section of NL

Qtguru I must also acknowledge you as a major motivator to give back to youngsters coming through in tech. Hopefully we can take the Slack group to the next level this year.

I'm honoured by remi1444 and Sososo to be on your list. It's a pleasure to be mentioned by you both.

2021 started out as a horrible year. Lost my job just before Christmas 2020 and was out of job for 8 months. But recovery in August 2020 was so great that what I earn in 1 month is now equal to what I earned in 10months at my previous job. Patience is indeed a virtue. Patience, Persistence and Preparation

thank you

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE
LOVE YOU ALL
YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING
WELCOME TO 2022!!!!!!
A YEAR OF OVERFLOWING GRACE AND GLORY!!!!

BlackSan:



Wow...
You attending tutorials on programming?

yea i am

Lindner:


Perhaps, this weekend. I'll create time for it. I have now received more emails. I hope it'll be worthwhile and save a lot of aspiring devs valuable time.

Thanks

house10s:
come take me out n prove it

there are but fewer compared to their male counterparts.

BlackSan:



Hello,
I would love to meet more females as myself though I don't really emphasize on gender since people that inspired me to go into programming are all males.
By the way I think there are very few female programmers on Nairaland (that's an assumption though)

generally there are few female programmers compared to males cause programming is presented as a "no go area" for females but
gradually females are turning up.
we are like a female to five males where im training.

gistray:

egbon is this you

gistray:


A average Nigerian girl is dumb and lazy.


Know this and know piSs

this is mean and demeaning

house10s:
all of them dey either dey do fashion or hair dressing or olosho or

all d above


programming is hard for them.

you 're wrong

Lindner:


I receive at least one email per week with the same question. I hope to create a thread soon where I'll share my own journey and practical tips to transition from a learner to landing the first remote job. I can't address it here cos it'll be too long. The problem is alot of people are learning which is good but they're doing so in a way that makes them unattractive to employers especially foreign companies.

Not to brag but I got my first remote role just 4 months after I started learning. I ascribe that to favour and the fact that I had a clear path to follow which others too have followed and achieved the same result. There is no secret here whatsoever, everything is available in public space for free. Of course, individual realities will differ.

im also interested

Lindner:
I've engaged with some developers on nairaland about this topic and out of frustration, I just surrendered.

Since the pandemic and the popularization of remote work, it's no longer news that western tech companies now look to source talents from Africa and Some parts of Asia. The rationale is to cut cost.

A recruiter that recruits for some of these tech companies recently told me that they no longer disclose potential salary budget to candidates from Africa, especially Nigeria.

She mentioned that they are always shocked at the salary expectations of candidates. She went further to state that 9 out of 10 candidates from Africa request for between 20% to 80% below the budget of the companies( Even though the company is already saving a lot by recruiting from Africa). And the fact that she mentioned Nigeria specifically got me a little angry.

Why tf will you guys be asking for $500/month for a software development role no matter whether its entry level or not? What values do you place on yourself? Just because you live in Nigeria? A cleaner does not even get paid $500/month in those companies. Do you feel good knowing the colleague you'll be working with is earning ×5 of what you're being paid and you're probably even adding more value. Don't you get angry?

The painful part is that some of these companies didnt even offer to pay you these miserable salaries, you requested it yourself.

Sometime ago, on another thread here on NL, on the same topic of remote job compensation, some folks came to the thread with alot of justification why $500/month is a good offer. They cited exchange rate, poverty rate in Nigeria, how there's no job and every other pathetic reasons why they should slave away to a western company. I can't even begin to reason the ones that are hawking their "skills" here on NL offering to build a full fledged e-commerce site with integrated payment solutions for 10k naira.

I don't care what you say, if you know your shit and have good self esteem, you can earn as much as $4k/month. Before you come here and start reciting all the impossibilites in your books, know that I'm writing from a position of knowledge. I have statistics and real life examples to substantiate this figure. I myself have been working remotely even before the pandemic.


I wouldn't have bothered to even write, but this development is now coming back to bite some of us just because we answer the name Nigerian.

pathetic

UwaMmebii:



Thanks dear, I'll check it out

I learnt web design in Digital Dreams in 2014 at No 1, Chime Avenue... The CEO's name is Mr Edoga and he is a UI/UX experts who drilled me so hard. It was always tough to please him with your UI designs.

I was tutored by Mr Benny, Osas and Mr Ifeanyi then.

Wonderful guys who know their trade well.

It's been 7yrs but I still appreciate their work and will recommend then anytime, Any day (if they are still in operation) because they gave me good value for money.

ifeanyi just opened his own academy, v-tech academy, almost directly opp first bank, new heaven Enugu

UwaMmebii:

Gratefulheart1:
Tech is the new oil.


Someone just made millions of dollars couple of minutes ago online, all while sitting in his room.


When I see many Nigeria youths who claim to be jobless but these same youths sub data and waste all data and their lives every moment going from one celeb page to another on SM commenting on wetin no concern them. Fighting on BBN, Pessi and Penaldo etc. Wasting away everyday.

Is it not young people like you sponsoring BBN this year? Does Ronaldo even have time arguing about himself? He's always busy in gym building himself to earn more.

But Nigerians youths roam internet aimlessly everyday, wasting away but later they'll blame village people.


Many people poverty na follow come and follow go. It's a choice.

funny but true

really
cause you guys are born to rule

Please does anyone have an idea on the elements that qualifies one to be selected for the second stage of the TEF GRANT , first stage being the training stage .

A good rundown of the elements will be appreciated.

stop the blame game and start working asap
