Man, what a read.

What does the developer market look like in Nigeria? I have a better appreciation for the pains you have to go through to practice, but when it comes to hiring, what kinds of challenges have you encountered?

The developer market in Nigeria...it’s huge. Our fintech industry has got all these recent restrictions and regulations from the Central Bank but still giant strides are being taken. Paystack, Flutterwave, BuyCoins Africa, PiggyVest are but a few examples.

As for hiring, it’s a tight space...most developers are looking for remote jobs because the pay is no longer really commensurate to the magnitude of workload you have to handle.
