The speaker discusses the importance and opportunities in programming, networking, and database management. They ask a series of rhetorical questions to make their point, including how people change jobs frequently in other fields, how networking skills are in demand but lacking, and how programming touches many aspects of life and work. The speaker emphasizes there are numerous opportunities in these areas and that one's potential is limitless as a programmer.

1. Presentation by the programming, networking and database management section
of RELACC by Ogbonna Ifeanyichukwu Charles
Well, I was meant to talk about the importance of this section but I feel to ask
ourselves few question and the answers to these questions will help us figure out
whether this whole thing is worth doing. This statement “there is no job” is
common in this part of the country but do you know that there are people who
are changing good jobs as if they are changing clothes. Where is this jobs they are
changing fromEvery day you read the newspaper you see vacancies for very
sensitive and well-paid jobs but most people lack the necessary skills to take up
these jobs who do you blame?
Another question I will like us to ask ourselves is this interesting one, if you
are working in firm that has up to 1000 clients whose files are in a cabinet and
one day you are required to find the file of one of your clients whose name starts
with “St” and is 5 feet tall what do you do?
Today internet is the talk of the town, almost all you need you can get at
the comfort of your room. How many people here go to the library for
information for their projects, assignments, term papers and other research
works? And yet people are needed for the management and the improvement on
this technology, so do I still need to tell someone that there are numerous
opportunities in the networking industry? Many industries in this country are
trying to start the use of Local area networks but are being hindered by the
availability of networking professionals, is that not a job?
Many people including me will say that it is a Symbian phone or no phone?
But what makes the phone so interesting is not the hardware but the operating
system which is software called Symbian OS. When the demand for a particular
product increases, there will be an increase in supply to suit this increase and for
this to be met; there will be an increase in the work force. Do I still need to tell
you that when a company expands, it is not only the building that they make
bigger but they will still need some workers too? Programming is part of our daily
life whether you do your own with computer or not, somehow you organize your
daily activities by programming, that apart. A computer without software is as

2. good as an empty box. If you are working in a company may be as a quality
controller. Who get some values from the product and using some cumbersome
formula will you enjoy to be going through the cumbersome process all the time
rather than use some few hours to write a program that does the thing for you
and save yourself the strength of punching calculator and make your job more
accurate. Do is still need to tell you that apart from whatever you read, that you
can still be employed because you are a programmer? The possibility of you
running a software production firm because you are a programmer is very high. I
just have to tell you that your limits have no bounds as a programmer.
Well now I have to stop here but I just have to say this “people are the
directors of computer hardware production companies, we do not know them
very well, but when you say Microsoft, I think Bill Gates and when I say Steve Jobs
you say Apple” where are the hardware producers? Think about it and thank you
all.
