In Nigeria, computer as a subject is being taught at all levels - primary, secondary, and University.
For seniors in secondary schools it's called data processing.
Both Computer studies and data processing however, are mainly theory to be memorized.
The end result is graduates who struggle with basic computing tasks - after taking 10+ years of computer classes.
Even for computer science students in universities, this theory only approach changes only slightly. 80% of the semester in programming courses is spent in classes receiving lectures with the last three weeks in the computer lab.
As for self learning via videos, it's challenging. Nigeria's minimum wage is below $100. Teachers in private schools (university graduates), mostly earn below $100 - NGN 38,750 (GOOGLE) monthly.
Back to video learning, wired internet is non-existent. It's all wireless - so no unlimited internet. 50GB monthly data plan from Nigeria's cheapest data provider GLO costs 10 thousand naira. Relatively cheap comparing absolute dollar amount.
10,000 naira is however 33% of Nigeria's minimum wage of 30,000 naira.
