I was going through my Facebook feed last week when i first saw this wonderful opportunity that i feel Nigerian youths should take advantage of.
The most wonderful thing about the Andela application process is that higher educational qualification is not mandatory. All you will need is your laptop, internet connection and determination to be accepted into the program.  It also has the support of Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and Google.

THE ANDELA FELLOWSHIP

The Andela Fellowship is a four-year paid technical leadership program designed to shape you into an elite software developer. The program requires that you dedicate yourself to the broader Andela community and requires that you apply yourself and challenge yourself to constantly improve personally and professionally throughout the four years of the Fellowship. Through extensive training and work experience with top global technology companies, you’ll master the professional and technical skills needed to become a technology leader, both on the African continent and around the world.

THE APPLICATION PROCESS

Stage 1: Application and Aptitude Assessment

First, you’ll complete a free application, which lets us learn more about you. Once we receive your application, we’ll email you (within 2-days of your application) an online test that measures logical reasoning and personality fit.
Andela does not have any degree or diploma requirements. However, if you have completed University or have a Higher National Diploma from a polytechnic, you must complete your one-year National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) before applying to Andela, unless you have been formally exempted.

Stage 2: Home Study

Then you’ll need to complete an introduction to software development self-study course focused on Python. You can find the downloadable version of this course here. During the course, you’ll complete a Proctor test that will evaluate your knowledge of the content you’ve learned. You will also be invited to a Slack Community called “Open Andela” to help guide and encourage you throughout the process.

Stage 3: In-Person Interview

Based on performance on the Aptitude Assessment and Proctor test, we invite a select group of applicants to interview with Andela. If selected, you’ll receive an email 1 week prior to the interview stage, inviting you to a panel of interviews made up of staff members and fellows at an Andela Campus.

Stage 4: Two-Week Boot Camp

Successful applicants participate in a two-week, full-time Boot Camp at an Andela Campus led by our senior developers. You’ll be expected to learn independently as well as work on a team to deliver a final project. We’re looking for work ethic, passion, and teamwork.

Stage 5: Acceptance

The highest performing participants are accepted into Andela’s four-year Technical Leadership Program.

I hosted a new wordpress website recently with a Nigerian host provider, i installed the lastest version of wordpress as at the time of my hosting, which should be around July, all this while i was using the Glo 2gig subscription which costs 1000 Naira. i noticed that on my new website anytime i try to upload an image, create a post or page or even install plugins to customize the website it was always showing an unknown "HTTP ERROR" and due to this i had to start checking if i had installed my wordpress installation correctly, i uninstalled and reinstalled wordpress and the problem persisted and i even began to consider leaving the wordpress framework which i have been using now for about 8 years. I called my host provider to complain and i even gave them my admin password and username for them to access the site and see what i am seeing, they did and they told me that there was nothing wrong with my site they even went ahead to post an image and create a page for in the site as evidence that the site was ok. so now i became the only one that is unable to use my website. but i noticed that on my mobile phone the site was working fine and had no issues so i began to suspect that the problem was coming from my network service provider and that was Glo, so i subscribed to my MTN sim for the same 1000 naira and tried using it for the website and i realized that the site just like my host service providers had said earlier the site was ok and the problem was coming from my subscription plan. I do not know any of you who is using the Glo plan successfully on your wordpress site but when i tried it on my site it did not work for me.
