Everybody want to be a graphic designer in Nigeria. Especially all these amateur 2K designers that have saturated Nairaland.

I mean... How can professional logos go for as low as 2k?!
This validates my initial comment about commonizing design skills. All they do is churn out grotesque designs. Some even charge 10k for web design, Lol.

ford101:
keep sleeping bro.

If you're a designer, send me your wack portfolio. Lets review that before i engage you.

yusufu16:
It doesnt, just to motivate

I understand chief.

Showing you the way and you still have to complain.

Blacks!

It's unsolicited. Good day

My journey as a Graphic Designer and a UI/UX Designer is amazing.

Earning in dollars in this current Nigerian economy is bae. Please learn at least 2 online skills you can use to earn in dollars.

This doesn't look like bragging, does it?

I totally find it appalling how Nigerians have commonized this skill because design industry isn't regulated like other fields. No thanks to softwares like Canva, professional designers are sidelined while quacks smile to the bank. Companies would employ someone who is a graduate of chemistry for a design role over someone who actually studied design. Clients will also treat freelance designers like sh*it because they are vulnerable somethings like ethical considerations, job security etc

Gone were the days when people chose graphics design because they were skilled at it. But these days, it's a "means of survival" for many.

So for you Catholics are not "saved". I really wish this guy who you claim to love and ticked all the boxes of what you desire in marriage will read this your write-up and withdraw cos it's obvious you are not even serious. If you really want to be so serious and your complaint is that he is not supporting or joining you in that lane inside the same catholic church then that it's different but labelling him not serious with his faith simply because he is Catholic is unacceptable. Join charismatic in the Catholic Church or any other pious societies in Catholic church of your choice and enkindle your faith as you desire but please and please just let him be and let him remain a Catholic as he desire...the land looks greener the other end till you get there and realise what you have lost.

And are religiously laidback. Can you imagine that OP? She sounds like my sister yet her mind no pure. Na them wicked pass

zed7:
If your only complaint is that he isn't a fanatic then you have no problem.
A well behaved moralist is better off than a religious fanatic without morals.

I'll like this comment a million times over.
Spot on!!!

gloriaunobi:
Private company are like vampires

I agree with you. They feast on vulnerabilities of people. Tueh!!

Silentgroper:
Then what translates to being shy?

Being shy is when you're uncomfortable among people. It should also interest you that "some extroverts" are shy people too. On the other hand, introverts enjoy spending time with just one or two people, rather than large groups or crowds. Both introverts and extroverts can be shy. Introverts just seem to enjoy their own company simply put. That's not shyness.

Ayemileto:
Lol.

Go and pay your loan.

To the best of my knowledge, this loan apps won't go about tarnishing your image, even when you miss the deadline.

They will first give you a call and give you additional time to pay up.

Your reaction to that call/additional time is what will determine what next they will do.


I have a friend who told me he took loan from one of this apps (Branch specifically). After missing his deadline, they gave him a call and he told them he didn't have the money yet. Then they told him he can be paying back small small and it's not compulsory he has everything at once.

He started paying back gradually, 1k, 2k, 5h till he paid back his loan. They Never disgraced him because of his reaction.

But many Nigerians have zero intention of paying back the money they borrowed.

That's how one was asking me how he can borrow 50k or 100k from this apps. He wants to borrow a reasonable amount because he does not want to pay back.

It wasn't because of his reaction. Branch supports instalment payment of loans that most apps don't. Palmcredit would never allow you pay in installments.

God will definitely help us...





As an introvert, I can only say....


R. I. P TO THE OPPORTUNITIES WE MISSED BECAUSE OF OUR SHYNESS AND NATURE...

Being an introvert doesn't translate to being shy though....

wunmi590:

That's equally smart

wunmi590:


Almost everybody are guilty of using office wifi to watch and downlaod porn

Right!!! Especially when boredom sets in.
Now, I must add that if you must engage in the act, endeavor to make use of Incognito tabs! Clear your browsing history too

I recall a certain supervisor of ours who got fired on the spot after our boss checked his browser history

Most of the time, the saying 'you just forgot me' is a playful way of starting a conversation. Its not that serious

[quote author= post=102527708]Twitter made a statement in which they said they don't know President Buhari and which country he runs.

When you're blinded by hate and self imposed narrow mindedness, you will applaud someone who is clearly insulting you.
Most Nigerians who are sympathetic with Twitter today don't know how much of an insult this comment is to even them.
They see Buhari as the target here but there are two elements in this insult.
Twitter says they don't know President Buhari.
But they didn't stop there.
They also added that they don't know the country he is leading. In other words they don't know Nigeria.

Twitter is brazenly saying they don't know Africas most populous nation and the country with the highest concentration of black people in the world. Twitter is brazenly saying they don't know a country where over 11 billion dollars of their revenue comes from with over 40 million subscribers.


Some years ago Pastor Chris Oyakhilome chose to use twitter to communicate some prayer information to Christ Embassy members worldwide.
Within few weeks Pastor Chris broke the records of having the most amount of followers within such a short period.

In their arrogance, Twitter called Pastor Chris' twitter account to question and described the followership as bogus.

Simply put, Twitter believed that nobody from a place like Nigeria had enough clout to garner such followership within such a short time - a feat that no Hollywood star was able to achieve -.

Pastor Chris wasn't prepared for their drama, he pulled out of twitter and challenged his church tech people to design a platform that the church can use. That's what gave birth to Yookos.

Today Yookos is a formidable competitor with Twitter so much so that ex President Barack Obama acknowledged the giant strides made by the platform within such a short time after it was launched.

Eventually twitter confirmed Pastor Chris' account and "apologized" but it was too late.
Pastor Chris had moved his huge followership into Yookos.

Several years later Twitter is saying that they don't know the country that the same Pastor Chris comes from.
That's arrogance taken too far.

Any Nigerian who tolerates this insult is just a self hating sychophant.

Someone says you and your country don't matter and you're jubilating.
Is that not a serious sickness?

On a lighter note,
*We heard someone telling his landlord that his rent money for the year is trapped in his Twitter account*

*The landlord too is now abusing Buhari

So sad�

BigDawsNet:
Nigerians female celebrities with fake accent...

Been here for couple of years still my accent reform process is slow...

According to Wikipedia, Tiwa was born in 1980 and moved to London at 11 ( that's 1991), and returned home in 2012 ( at age of 32). So mathematically, she spent 21 years in London and you don't believe her accent will change?

Some of you on this NL just comment nonsense just to fish for likes and to make frontpage. Cmon

Monogamy:
The suspension wasn't really actually about Buhari's tweets that was deleted but about Twitter's new policy update and other social media..

[s]FG has been warning about that since the beginning of the year.. Foreign companies can't impose unnecessary policies on us[/s]

Same foreign companies didn't beg for their platforms to be used. Buhari and other officials willingly signed up for profiles on this platform whilst agreeing to the term of use. What are you saying? A tweet violated stipulated rules and was deleted. Everywhere dey boil. You're part of the problems of this country.

Designandbuild1:
I watched The Revenant where Leonardo DiCaprio was attacked by a bear and even though it was a movie it was scary. Bears are really savage beasts. I don't know whose idea it was to make teddy bear a sleeping companion. There's nothing cute or gentle about a bear I tell you.

That's why it's called a Teddy
Ha-ha

Rissamenti:
Shame on you. Slave to Twitter.

Will your grouse at Twitter feed you. Ode
Beats me why majority of you focus on trivial stuffs. You went as far as creating a new account just to display your stupidity. As if Twitter will solve national crisis at the moment. Stup*d punk

RisenJoe:
What you said is right cos you are looking at it from another angle but that doesn't mean that I didn't make sense in what I wrote up there.

Yes, I agree with you.

RisenJoe:
Depends on where you are working and benefits attached to the work.

Like me now that served my oga for seven years, during the first four years insults was non existent but during the last three years b4 my settlement that was when this man brought out my case file of the things I did in last four years which I thought he has forgotten that I've been with him, the thing pain Sha but I got to mellow down because my settlement is near and if I dare raise my voice on him he might start beating me which I would be tempted to defend my self and retaliate back, but all along I kept quiet whenever he is barking at me like a dog, e no dey easy ooo but I know what I was looking for and I won't let my ego stand in my way, so I swallowed my pride and he trashed me but now am on my own after many years of serving him and recieving his insults.....



My advice to whoever is reading this is; [s]don't let your ego and pride stand in your way, words(insults) are nothing unless you let it become something for you,[/s] but be sure you are always trying your best at work so as to avoid insults and bad mouthing.....

I beg to differ. Insults are something as they can cause severe emotional problems. Everyone has a threshold with which they can withstand verbal abuse. Let's not justify uncouth behaviors.

VICKYE:
NO ONE has been screened.
Your interest should be on the Verification tab of your dashboard.
Do your biometric verification.

What do you mean by no one has been screened? Screening of necessary documents takes place before biometrics is done. Followed by deployment.
Don't mislead people here biko

Virus99:
Lol I invested the money already... infact the investment yielded 2.5k today already.

So ama start dropping 1k everyday inside it till December 31st...insha Allah

Dude! I sight you from far. Would you mind if you could share what investment you partook in? I'm a dm away

samoses2:
What's the price for the biometric scanner

Omo prices ranging from 15k upwards.

babs18:
It shouldn't be more than #100 if they want to be fair to u

Plus internet access? I doubt it

Does anyone have an idea of how much cybercafes will likely charge to do this biometric registration? The biometric scanner seems expensive, wanted to get it but decided against it.
