Offpoint:
I was giving the op corrective criticism, not bashing him. go through my first comment again.

even professionals designers are still in the process of learning too, they have mentor the look up to.

after the criticism I gave him and the weakness I pointed to him I've seen improvement in one of his recent design.

Fine.. Every professional started from a novice/amateur stage and there is always room for improvement, but calling yourself what you are not is what I don't really like.. why is he calling himself a professional when he is not even close to being a professional. I think that's is the reason why most people here were "bashing" the guy.

Well, telling him nicely will not hurt you right? The guy has not even replied any of these comments. I'm sure by the time you are done with your constructive criticism I talked about, he would already know he's not a professional... Yet.

Someone with low self-esteem will definitely be affected with your 'bashing' that's all I'm saying. And also saying there are other ways, better ways to say things than the 'bashful' ways.

tungstar:
please has the group been created?

Yes

After reading the presious comment on this thread, i will just like to say a thing or two.

Op keep it up. You can only get better from here. Every good graphic artist started from somewhere. And may I advise you compare your work with good graphic artist you know online. This is one way to know how well you're doing. There are good ones here too who could mentor you. It is my assumption that your knowledge is self-taught. And one thing about being self-taught is, you're your own teacher. Be careful over grading yourself. Always assume your work is terrible, until you start hearing people tell you how good you are. That way, you will get better everyday.

Also, be a little slow in showing your work on here. Unless you want the good ones here to advise you. A lot of people here don't know how to give constructive criticisms. Just like the 2 guys arguing up there. One is trying to pull the other down and instead for the other to just ignore.

There is power in what we say. A lot of guys are depressed because of the destructive criticism they get on here. Let us all learn to appreciate people's effort and learn to help them by telling them how to get better. I rest my case.

My contact is somewhere on my previous posts on nairaland. Chat me up on WhatsApp. The reason I don't want to chat here is cos I am too busy to keep refreshing nairaland. And I am an animator. I can guide you. And relax, no cash involved whatsoever. I just want to help.

iamsirmichael1:
It will be in your good to refrain quoting me with an angry emoji as a prequel to your main post and writing 'good morning Sir' before hastily comment wouldn't be such a bad idea now, would it?

Now read over again.

1. Do a national survey or individual headcount and get your averages.

The fact you stayed in a geographical location where guys below 5'7 are seen as midgets doesn't mean that's a short person 'averagely' speaking.

Do your findings. Before I can give my stats, I must have done my surveys and not judge specifically on the averages of my 'familiar' environs.

You are absolutely right. i hardly comment on NL. But your reply is the most correct here so far. You dont just quote a number because you feel its right.

Average means addition of everybody's height in Nigeria divided by the number of people. Anything above is tall, anything below is short. But they wouldnt understand. Well stats is an area of interest for me. Hence my comment. Ciao

It's very simple. There is an Android game called Invasion. Look it up on Google play. Its an online war game that requires resources and power building. The bigger your power, the stronger you are.

Started playing it May,2015. Abandoned my first account on that game. cos I had issues with some people in the game. By the way, you will play with real people from all over the word. By December 2015, my second account was very big without spending a dime. You can spend and grow fast or just be patient and you will still grow enough to enjoy the game.

In short, I met this French guy and we became real life friends from the game. numerous video calls. He bought that account for 500Euros. Right before recession, that was 102k. As a sharp Naija boy, my eyes were opened. I had a smaller second account, 2 weeks later I sold it for 50dollars to a Canadian friend. Fast forward 2 years later, I have sold well over 10 accounts despite having breaks from the game from time to time.

Now before you start calculating, my first account was a one-off. My subsequent account didn't sell that much cos people have issues trusting Nigerians. But within 2 months of playing, I could build an account that would worth a 100Dollar. The problem may be to get a buyer fast and at appropriate times cos ones an account is too old, the chances of selling well diminishes. I've had to give some accounts up for this reason for as low as 20dollars. The game is enjoyable itself cos you get to really meet people. and I have too many foreign friends that I find it difficult to stay in touch often in real life cos they're just too much.

I've only met a Nigerian in that game ones. Hes from Kaduna. Anyway, you may wanna try the game out. it may seem complex. but with little patience, you will get a hang of it and you can either play and enjoy, play and earn or do both. And you will get to meet a lot of people. From every corner of the world. From the game.

Thought I should share.

No amount will ever be enough. Certain amount may be too small though.

Unless you're from a really rich home, you must consider a few things.

Where you intend to settle is important. Standard of living differs with different places. Secondly, my father advised me 'As long as you can feed yourself and your wife, plus a few other family member like when they come visiting without borrowing, you are good to go' obviously after setting up a considerable good apartment - decent apartment my father in-law will say.

As a man, your wife income MAY be negligible at the beginning ie if she's not working and above condition hold, fine or if she's working, perfect.

Now to be specific, after your personal monthly upkeep (recharge card, data, transport to work to and fro everyday etc), if you have 30-40k in Abeokuta, Ibadan, Osogbo, Akure, Ado minus Lagos, you will feed well with change left. Remember, 30-40k after your personal upkeep. and this is on the low side, the 30-40k. Also provided you're not the type that like to spend on alcohol and do some alaye stuffs. The amount I put up there should even afford cinema ones a month and maybe a date.

I advise the wife should work at the beginning, she will assist too. Both of you can grow together from here. you can both start the race of making a more comfy home for when the kids start coming together. Makes it easier

People can start with big salary and have financial issues early in their marriage.
They can start small and make it big.
They can start big and remain big.
They can start small and remain small.

My point is there is no prerequisite to make it big in life, it takes favour. but there are prerequisite for being happy and contented. and that is 'try your best, do not have too much expectations '

My own philosophy has been, as long as you can afford the basic things to not be considered 'poor', you should be happy. Driving very expensive car is luxury.

But all in all, you need a really good wife to understand all the thrash I've put up there. You must believe everything will be ok in the end.

GrandMufti:
Are you able to make/receive calls or check balance?

I can do every other thing aside internet. And i still have an active data.

asuustrike2009:
Dial 171 @ N20/calls

Thanks but i keep getting Emergency call..

For close to 24hrs now i have been experiencing internet problem in my area at Abeokuta. Since around 5pm yesterday, my internet has not been going at all (no setting was changed on my tab). My fiancee was with me and we share the same data. Her internet was fine. I used another sim on my tab and the internet was ok. Back to my glo sim this morning, it has refused to connect at all again.

I dialed 200, its telling me i cannot call the number.
I dialed 121, its connecting to one emergency line.

Here is my number maybe a glo operative will see it as i cannot work without internet - 09052985439

If it is not resolved soon, then glo just lost 4 customers for life. This is the height of it all.

and how will Mtn resolve this problem without knowing your number?

FellaL:
Everybody just wants to animate.

And how's that a problem if I may ask?

Can you upload some of your recent work?
