Omo! We save no more jobs in tech we don't talk about how the interest to code have greatly reduced.

Some years ago, this post would have had lots of interactions.

The barrier getting Into tech as a Nigerian living in Nigeria is now very high. You have to provide Electricity, Data, feeding etc for yourself for you to learn how to code. The pai full aspect is that as long as you do not have someone who will at least take care of your bills for the 6 to 8 months you intend to use for coding classes, you can never achieve your goal.

I can very much understand because things have really gone south.

It's why we tell people to vote wisely but some people will respond they just want to code.

Since the new istration, bird no dey sound like bird again o. I'm sorry for sounding political but politics has had a great factor in this.

I hope things will turn around soon and people will start picking coding en mass because it's still one of the few careers left in Nigeria that rewards.

Hey Karleb. Good afternoon. Do you mind if I seek your advice(No PM's. Here on NL)on a little academic "setback" I'm currently going through?
I'd really appreciate if you decided to hear me out.

So, to make a long story very short: I'm currently a Mathematics student in one of the federal universities in Nigeria. I just recently moved to 400lvl even though I doubt I'll be there long enough.
The Genesis of my problem
So; my faculty/department has a rule of ing a minimum of nothing less than six, 3rd level Mathematics courses(excluding CED(entrepreneurship class)), to proceed to the next level; which in my case; is final year. But the issue is out of a minimum of six courses; I am only 100% sure of ing only 3, which will lead me to having a probation, and I'll have to repeat 300lvl(don't worry. They don't withdraw here. The worst that could happen is a probation).

You might probably say I'm paranoid, nd I shouldn't over-worry myself; but the issue is my worries are not imaginary (I know most worries are imaginary).
This whole thought of me not graduating this year, popped into my head while I wwbwas writing my 2nd semester exams; and I thought they were just imaginary worries. But they aren't. And I'm not someone who handra anxiety really well. So; I was having panic attacks while writing my exams(2nd semester), to the point where I couldn't even read anymore. I couldn't even revise anymore; and I don't know if you have any friend who studied Mathematics; you'll know we write proofs a lot. Make a mistake, even omitting just one word in your proof; and you fail an entire question. So, my anxiety( I have anxiety issues) led me to start making mistakes In my exams. So, out of five courses I wrote in 2nd semester; I'm only sure of ing just one(2 from first semester+ 1 from second semester).


The crazy thing is that I still don't even know where I went wrong. Honestly! I study really hard (I know you'll say it's not enough) but 300lvl just took me by surprise. And it didn't help that I was going through a terrible heartbreak, that led me devastated (still not over it). Although; I went back to the drawing board to try to discover my errors (you know; after accepting responsibility for my failure); ND I've been able to discover some mistakes that I made.


My academic life started going downhill when I started dating the girl at the bottom of my class in 200lvl(I know the rule; don't date your coursemate. I broke it). Although most people would say it doesn't matter; but in my own case; it affected me a lot. I let her unseriousness affect my life, to the point where I stopped going to classes at some point (not like the classes helped. Useless lecturers), and I moved out of my hostel to go live with her, off- campus(stupid move right?). I was drunk in love that I really didn't care I was becoming unserious.

But I'm not going to just blame her for my mistakes. I should've know better; to place my goals above anybody.

Another mistake I made was that I didn't study my lecturers properly. I learnt there's a big difference between being intelligent (not Einstein level Sha) and knowing how to exams. I didn't even read my lecturers note throughout my 200lvl, because I thought Mathematics should be universal. What is acceptable in Canada should also be in Nigeria too right? I was wrong.

I learnt you have to give it back, as they gave you. Word for word. Even if you don't understand hat they thought; just cram and .

To cut the long story short; because if I type everything that's on my mind; it'll be too long.


There's an at least 80% chance of me probating 300lvl. I've accepted my fate. I've accepted that it's a possibility I can't rule out. So; I've told my parents about it, and they're well aware of everything.
But even if by some act of divine intervention; I make it to 400lvl without probation; I'll have many carryovers that I'll have to take an extra session (we have 4 credit load courses in finals, and you can only max 50 credits (4 compulsory plus 6 credits projects)).

So; I did some permutations and combinations; if I manage to escape probation; then there's an at least 90% chance I'll graduate with a 2.2. Because I'll have to literally get all A's to even graduate with a CGPA within the 3.5 range.
Because since 200lvl; it's been really difficult for me to get A's. I went from having 9 A's in 100 lvl(4.57 cgpa) to 1 A in 200(3.0 cgpa). And I come from a poor family, that I can't risk graduating with a 2.2.

I'm currently 23,and if ASUU holds their peace; I can still make it through Nysc before I hit 27, to be able to try my chance for graduate entry roles.

If I had a skill, or come from a ive family; then I wouldn't be so bothered. But I know we're i come from. My life will extra harder if I make a second class lower.

I know it might not seem like it; but I can cope with the course. I know I can. I just need to restrategize. The brain is there, but I used a wrong strategy.

I'm even praying right now for probation, so I can right my wrong. If i probate; then I'm 100% sure of making a 2.1. im very very sure. I can deal with the shame of my mates graduating before me. We don't have the same destiny.

Probating would be like life giving me a second chance. I'm honestly praying it happens at this point.

So, if you were in my shoes; would you prefer graduating this year with a 2.2 or next year, with a 2.1?

Nb: a session in my school, excluding holidays; is just six months. So; it's less than a year sef.

@Groupoid

I would prefer to stay an extra year and graduate with 2.1.

Honestly, 2.1 is better than 2.2 in the job market. That's a fact!

But if you don't go on probation and you end up graduating with 2.2, its not the end of the world. Skills and experience trump any class of degree, any day anytime.

For now, I think you should focus on learning a skill. I am not saying you should combine skill acquisition with your studies because you obviously need to study very hard for the few months you have left. But make the ground works, search for skills you can learn and maybe do an introductory lesson on it to get a feel.

Everybody is suggesting coding these days but I think there are easier skills you can learn that will start making you money in months. But you need to make your research and learning should be after graduation. I wouldn't want you to end up losing in both ends especially in your academics. Trust me, after school there will be a lot of time.


I think the big problem you have before you is your age. 27 after NYSC is a big disadvantage, I will not lie to you.

Granted by then you may be too old for a lot of graduate trainees but times are changing now, a lot of companies are now abolishing age limits, aside this, graduate trainee is not the only way to work for a multinational. You can get experience and apply to these same companies through normal recruitment process.

Your main focus should be skills that would make you employable and experience in those skills. The course you are studying is a good one too. I like that. It will make you fit in many roles in this job market.

Lastly, please stop with the regrets and self-pity. It leads no where. Honestly, it's pointless.

Thank you very much bro. By my calculations; I would still be 26 by the time I round-off. NYSC. So; I would still meet a lot of graduate trainee roles. ASUU is the only thing that can disrupt everything. I pray God holds them down till I finish.


And thank you for the last paragraph too. I really appreciate it.

Oh okay, I wanted to ask about the response you gave on my previous post, what can I do differently because those I know in the industry who are rejecting jobs are the seniors and you know entry level now is almost being wiped out

Since you asked.

One, you need a positive attitude.

You see what you just typed is false. You are only saying that because you hear people say that either on Twitter or here on NL. Most people who are working don't have time to argue online or have opinions or AI or whatnot. It's only celebrity developers who earn true having opinions online that say those, many of them are not even developers and we all know AI is a buzzword that will always generate traffic.

I once spoke with a founder of a small company and the way the guy spoke, you'd think he's the next Linus Torvalds but he can't code shi.t. These are people you probably listen to. But if you have evidence to prove your say aside dem say, I will be happy to hear it.

Secondly, you need to work hard.

You need to build project and keep learning.

Then you need to start applying to job. You should make it your duty to refresh job sites on a daily to check for jobs that you meet the requirements.

I have been applying lately but some jobs just dust away my CV but on the projects part I need to do better. I do frontend by the way, as an experienced person in the industry, do you have any idea on projects that can land me entry level job

Experienced kwa.

Let's say you are a react developer. I would expect you to be familiar with popular react state management systems and react reactor alongside ability to design with css.

For your question, make your own research.

Good evening bro. I forgot to update you. I've seen my results and to my surprise; I ed all my courses. It was not a "first class" result though........just an average result with A's(about 40%) and B's(60%). So, I'm just aiming for a sharp 2:1 now.

Guess I was just worried for nothing. Turns out most of our worries in life are only imaginary.


Anyway, that aside; I could use your advise one an issue I've been facing:

So, like you advised me to; I've been researching on some skills I could learn after university. But my issue is i don't know what metric to use to classify a skill as something worth learning.

So far, the system I've been using is:
1) the skill must be beginner friendly. It must be easy for a beginner to get an entry level job with it;(Data science,Machine learning, Cyber security,etc are disqualified with this requirement)

2) it must require minimum resources to get started with(Web dev qualifies with this. Since with a 300k-500k laptop; one can get started with web dev)

3) if a certain skill requires any cert; it must be affordable for a beginner (again, cyber security disqualified).

4) must not be location dependent. I want a global skill that can give me foreign currency. I don't want any skill that'll tie me down to a particular location.

But I don't know if these metrics are enough. Sometimes I search for a particular skill on LinkedIn, and I see a ton of jobs (mostly foreign) for that particular skill, so I don't know if having a large number of jobs for a particular skill makes it worth learning.

I just really don't want to waste my time. Because I know what awaits me after school, and it's not funny.

I just need you to explain to me how to go about determining if a particular skill is worth learning.

Congrats man.

Only way to determine if a skill is what learning is the financial reward.

The other important thing is how long it will take, now this depends how how long you can wait until you are good enough to start making money off it.


If I were to suggest, I think these threeskills have low entry barrier and are rewarding. I say this because a lot of nigerian women are finding success in it and we all know our women are not the most patient.

1. Virtual Assistant
2. Low-code/no-code development
3. UI/UX
