There’s a career trap a lot of Nigerian developers fall into without even noticing.
Most Engineers optimise for breadth instead of depth.
React today, NestJS tomorrow, Django after that, then Go, then Rust, then whatever framework is trending next week.
Every new tech feels like progress because it adds another line to the CV.
But none of it actually builds a reputation.
One thing you all should know is this: developers who are getting the highest leverage in the Nigerian remote market right now are not the ones who know the most tools.
They’re the ones who are known for something specific.
“The engineer who builds payment systems.”
“The engineer who can scale Node.js services to serious traffic.”
“The engineer who understands Nigerian fintech infrastructure deeply.”
That kind of clarity compounds over time.
A wide skill set without a clear identity just becomes a long list of things you’ve touched.
At some point, it stops being about what you can use.
It becomes about what people associate you with.
So, as a person, here's my advice:
Pick a lane, go deep, then stay there long enough for it to start speaking for you.
I write Java, Python, Go, jBase, and PhP at the expert level.
I write C, Javascript, and Ruby at the intermediate level.
Others at beginner level 💯
For Python, I can use all Python Known frameworks, including Mobile and Desktop Framework.
What about you 🫵🫵
Let's have it
Alhamdulillahi rabil ‘alameen.
Alhamdulillahi. This was exactly why i said if you bring in references, our discussion will become easier.
Please now go back to my 20million naira question. All these references point to that what i asked you is in positive. So how have i lied against you??? Let me quote my questions here.
“….So my question now is If i withdraw out cash of 20million and leave it in my house for up to 5 years doing nothing, with no intention to trade. Is it zakatable within that 5 years period or not??? The answer is No!!These are one of the things you have to deal with if you really want to hold on to your opinion that it is treated as a commodity. That was why i asked you!!! ….”
This was your response
“Even if you decide not to spend that 20 million Naira, as long as that currency is in circulation and recognized by the state, it is a commodity in fiqh, this is the essence of عروض التجارة." “
You kept insisting it falls under uruudu tijaarah. You were even directing me to ar-risaalah. Now all these references you brought clearly states that Fuluus thats not meant for tijaarah is not zakatable. Is that not what i’ve been repeating for you? I clearly wrote
“…These are one of the things you have to deal with if you really want to hold on to your opinion that it is treated as a commodity….”
Alhamdulillahi, Alhamdulillahi.
So to say, your opinion now is that fuluus - which you considered al awraaq an naqdiyah to be - is also a commodity. And unless it is intended for trade, it is not zakatable. So if i have 30million of cash in my house with no intention to exchange it, it is not zakatable.
We have come to the end of the discussion!!!
Alhamdulillahi, i am vindicated.
Please readers should note that the last paragraph is his opinion which vast majorly of scholars today consider false. Your money is not a commodity and it is zakatable ooo
For the umpteenth time, the assumption that every dā’ee must adopt the same tone is unfounded. The Prophet himself used different approaches depending on the person, circumstance, and objective. Gentleness has its place. Sternness has its place. Wisdom is knowing which is appropriate when & not tone-policing.
Whether one personally likes a speaker’s style is secondary to whether what he says is true, fair, and within the bounds of the sharī’ah. Different callers have different temperaments, and the Sunnah accommodates more than one approach.
Na’am.
