sisi london: @ 8gthball- no one's hating from reading the comments I knw for sure I'm not cos I'm a mom n my kids r showing artistic skilld which I'm proud of so if anything, I can identify with you, was only stating the obvious. Plus I think you r the fashion illustrator own it,stop referring to urself in second person narrative.
PS. Efosaval is right to express herself n dr r loads of talent on nairaland so try to be more professional as no one is 'hating ' rather embrace criticism cos you have to have a thick skin to be in any art related field
I am not the illustrator, although I wish I was. I am just a supporter.

About
This is how Nigerian and African fashion should be like….Edgy, on trend and well-made. My name is Omonigho Aito-Imonah. I am a fashion illustrator and pattern-maker. I had a coloumn in Genevieve magazine for two years (2009-2011) titled “Style Sketch” in whch my sketches were displayed alongside their real-life counterparts and I have also worked at Jewel By Lisa as a pattern-maker and illustrator. In between jobs, I have taught fashion illustration and pattern-making at several fashion schools in lagos. I just finished my book titled “Fashion Drawing and Design For the “Naija Fashionista”, in which the basic principles behind drawing standard fashion figures, styling and putting together a proper fashion collection are taught. As an incentive to buying the book,I am throwing in a training pack and a 4-week training in fashion illustration, starting from the first Thursday in July, for a token of N25,000.00 (twenty-five thousand naira only. Please contact me (my details can be found below) for further details.

Whilst I wait for my dream job of being creative director/ Head designer of the African arm of an international fashion label (Channel, Givenchy, H&M, TopShop, Burberry, please take note), I also do the following:

1) Consult for individuals wanting to start their own fashion labels, through Conceptualization, portfolio creation,pattern-making sample-making and mass-production.

2) Look-book, Catalogue, Portfolio, Run-Way/Fashion Show conceptualization and creation.

3) Training in Pattern-Making and Fashion illustration.

4) Mass-production of samples seen on the blog.

lulukay: Cool indeed,but is this really wise? I could steal those ideas on d sketches n make them mine..I believe ur sketch book should be as private as ur peepee grin nice sketches tho wink
You can steal them, but to what end? you cant reproduce anything similar to it on demand if asked to. Moreover there are a million and one from where these came from. Just saying.

ProgrammingBuilding A Startup On The Side Is Freaking Hard. by 8ightball(op): 10:05pm On Jun 02, 2013
My typical day: I wake up by 5am every weekday, go through my daily ritual and leave my house by 6am to begin my 10 km commute to work (I am a “factory worker”) to get to work almost an hour later [1]. My factory shift resumes by 8am and ends by 6pm officially although this might extend into late hours of the night on some occasions. I do not work on anything IT related (which factory worker does?) so none of the hours I spend at work contributes in any way to gaining startup experience. After work I start another 10 km commute back home which can extend for almost 3 hours most times no thanks to the crazy traffic on Lagos roads, so I get home earliest by 8pm on a very good day. Most days I am so tired I hardly can code or do anything substantial before crashing on my bed. Most times the stuff I can do are only on weekends when I have some few hours to concentrate.

Building a startup on the side is freaking hard, scratch that, extremely hard. Some people do it but it’s no easy feat.

Pros of building your startup on the side.

1. Focus: when you have so few hours to work on your startup per day you tend to focus and prioritize on what is really important and what isn’t. I work an average of 50 hours at my day job and the few hours left have to be spent with laser focus or I might just wake up and discover that 6 months have passed by. [2]

2. Funding: Most Nigerian founders complain about not having funding for their startup ideas so having a day job will actually allow you to funnel part of your salary into your startup till it starts generating income of its own. I have a relatively well paid factory job so I can bootstrap for now until I start generating real income.

3. Work experience: If you are lucky enough to have a day job where you are gaining skills and experiences that are directly transferable into you startup, all well and good but if you are not like I am, you can learn people management or if your day job is so bad, you would learn how not to run a business.

Cons of building your startup on the side.

1. Burnout: Working nothing less than 50 hours per week on a day job for some years can have a terrible toll on you, your health and motivation to work on your startup. Most times I am so tired I can’t do anything reasonable during the week. This directly leads to my second point.

2. Speed: Most times I imagine and wish that the hours I spend on my day job could be funneled into my side project. I imagine where it would be by now. My startup might look slow and lethargic due to the fact that I barely even have time to work on it.

3. Burning hunger: Having a well paid job can actually make you lazy and take away the hunger to having a successful startup. If on the 24th of every month a substantial amount falls into your bank account with a loud bang, putting your all into a startup might not be topmost on your list of priorities. You might wake up after some years to discover that you have become a boring old fart with a receding hairline and your startup, still a pipe dream.

P.S: Thanks to this article on joel.is for inspiring this post.

Notes:

1. I get most idea’s for these blog posts and write them in my head while driving on my long commute to work. It’s a wonder I haven’t hit anyone yet.

2. Talking about focus: I developed my infamous unofficial in less than 20 minutes in a frenzied coding spree.

Hello Siena,
I am still waiting for my response Boss.
Car TalkRe: The Audi And Volkswagen Issues Resolution Thread by 8ightball:
Hello Siena,

01) Make: Audi
02) Model:A6 Quatrro
03) Engine size: 2.8
04) Transmission type: 5 speed Tiptronic
05) Model year:2001
06) Spec (Euro or US): US
07) Drive configuration:Front wheel drive


Issue with Car

Hello Mr Siena, I have an Audi 2001 model and I had my radiator changed but since then, it always over heats when I am in slow moving traffic. It seems that the mech didn't properly bleed the radiator when he changed it. I located one bleed hole between the battery and brake fluid reservoir and bled it. The overheating reduced but still happens sometimes. I read online that there are 3 bleed holes but I havent been able to locate the other 2. Can you please show me (with pictures if possible) where the other 2 bleed holes are? Or is it something that an expert must do?
Thank you in anticipation of your advice
