@OmoSaaja Textbooks went from numbers and alphabets to ancient runic patterns. Even the promised messiah called 'calculator' became unworthy at some point

I've been coding heavily with AI for the past few weeks. NGL, I feel dumber code'wise The last time I felt this awful was when I started using calculators for maths - then I stopped finding maths fun to solve.

Not to sound like an atheist, but religion in .ng is one of the reasons it got this worse. Fabrication of false hope, thinking we can pray our way out of problems God gave us brains to solve. Second in line, tribalism

So I shared the screenshot of this quote on my status & had the chance to air out the reason it hit that deep "The bare minimum is motion, which doesn’t necessarily mean you’ve got it all together... It's more of being aware that no one is responsible for you but you" ~@morizuq

Everyone has their struggles, women too. So she should fight her shege then still come & be believing in you? Not wise. Show workings first Dont be a a weakling who always needs constant push to chase his own dreams. You're a man. Sit up & quit the hunt for validation from women

Okay, this is different. It’s a different context. Moniepoint is not a service provider like Netflix, but a platform provider. So purchasing power parity isn’t an equivalent example here. It’ll be different if the conversation were about a platform like Spotify, and the issue was them paying less than what they’d pay their staff in the US. Then the justification would be that the subscription price in Nigeria is also different from what they charge users in the US. The whole conversation is shifting away from the initial context, and it doesn’t help anyone. The main issue initially was: Are Nigerian talents global? Yes. If Moniepoint is a global company, and 90% of their staff are Nigerians, then those Nigerians built the global company Moniepoint is today. Do we have a talent shortage? Yes, we do. We don’t have enough specialised talents in specific areas. And those at fault are companies, not the ecosystem. Talents who are good at certain niches don’t grow on trees, they learn on the job. But companies have stopped doing internal training programs. It’s just cheaper to poach from other companies that have already done the background work and simply offer the engineers more money. The only issue is that there’s not enough talent to go around. Another issue here is that companies want to compress four years of work into one year by only sourcing experts with experience in the name of moving fast, and then they complain when there isn’t enough niche talent available. Well, it’s because it takes time to gain that experience, and because we’re in a growing ecosystem, not every company has the time or budget to support growth from senior engineer to platform engineer level. Again, these conversations are different, and it’s wrong to group everything together. We have amazing talent, and there are also talent shortages. Moniepoint pays really well, but they’re not going to start competing with Stripe in terms of compensation. Stripe pays $85k for junior roles. No Nigerian company can match that, they’d go bankrupt. Also, we have a yahoo and hookup pandemic, but the people doing hookup are not the same people showing up for C++ interviews. Those are completely different groups of people. Y’all remember when UNILAG used to send graduates on exchange programs to China? And the program stopped a while back when China said the students didn’t have enough knowledge?

You way they share Netflix passwords want Moniepoint to pay global standard salaries lol. For those that won’t see the point: are you willing to pay for services at global standards? Cos everything goes round lol. 💀💀🥲🥲

@_VinJex They don't seem to provide entry roles or hire juniors too from what I've seen on the career page. I mean, that makes the citation of "hookup and yahoo" look like own goal to me

@morizuq Just imagine, he even had to fabricate numbers to sell Nigerians as incompetent people. That just says a lot about what their company is all about. So shameful.

You’re the CEO of Moniepoint and instead of taking responsibility for your hiring failures, you are blaming an entire country’s intelligence. That is just so nasty and pathetic. You claim you have hundreds of open roles and cannot find talent, So whose problem is that? Nigerians or a failure of your system? If you cannot attract or identify qualified people at that scale, then your hiring process is flawed, your expectations are disconnected from your compensation, or your company is not appealing to the level of talent you claim to want. You cannot demand engineers who meet global standards while offering local compensation and then act surprised when the best candidates either ignore you or leave the country. That contradiction alone explains most of your problem. Yes, of course, you won’t see that because the problem is that Nigerians have low IQ. The claim about IQ makes his argument worse. Intelligence is not something you measure casually based on hiring outcomes. What he is actually describing is the impact of poor education systems, brain drain, and weak incentives. Those are structural issues, not a reflection of inherent ability. To make it even worse, he thinks bringing up hookup culture and fraud adds something to his point. I mean how does it explain engineering capability and how does it justify his conclusion? The only thing it proves is a lack of focus and responsibility for their failures. Nigeria produces engineers who are building systems used globally every day. The issue is not the absence of talent. The issue is access to that talent, how you evaluate it, and how you retain it. If after reviewing a large pool of candidates you still cannot find quality, then the problem starts with your process, not the intelligence of millions of people. Fix your fucking system before you start making claims about the country.

@_VinJex 🤣 the 500 was generic, their /career page doesn't have that much open role, it has 78 open roles to be precise with a reasonable lot of them out of Nigeria(India, Bangalore). The reason why I said bro was vibing

@morizuq Somebody that’s so stupid. It is even a big red flag to have 500 openings at the same time for a big company like Moniepoint.

That’s a wrap! 🥹 I just finished teaching my first semester of college engineering. I coached student groups through the process of designing, building, and deploying their own apps. I couldn’t be more proud of my students. They completely blew me away. They’re ready!
