It is really a hard thing to become a programmer in Nigerian. I study computer science for 3years(Nce program) but the truth be told,We never did a single practical through out those three years talk more of running a single computer program.
I managed to start learning how to program from the books in the local library which where outdated to be precise books from 2006,2007 e.t.c. I learned a bit from those books but with all these things I have learned, I did not even have a laptop to practice what I have learned. I did manage to program my final year project by my self using a laptop that I borrowed from a friend.
I went on to learn Java but I had to stop cause I couldn't run a GUI application on my phone. I switched to css and html for web development which I Practice on my mobile phone cause I have no laptop. There are so many obstacles but we just have to keep on moving.
