The world is larger than San Francisco.
I don't really know about Nigeria, but certainly in parts of Europe (can't speak for all of it) stigma against these kind of more tech-oriented occupations is very real. Even for software devs by the way.
Don't extrapolate your limited experience from a tiny part of the world to everything. Your experience and SF ironworker friends mean bugger all for most of us.
