I like the fact that his corpse was conspicuously displayed to prove that every part of his body are still intact.

At last, his enemies could now believe that he didn't belong to Ogbonis.

Yes! Y'all voted for him, shouting and calling Igbo's all sort of names then for not just rejecting him, but rejecting Nigeria in its entirety!.

Now he has taken away your rights to -education, job vacancy, peaceful farming, and most importantly, "peaceful protest"..
Not forgetting that For the first time in Nigeria's history you became refugees in Benin republic..

I hear some of you're still shouting 2023 is for Tinubu, Tinubu upandan!, let me ask you;

Jonathan was president! Was ogoni cleaned up??No!

Obasanjo was president! Did the south west benefit?? No!

Even if an Igbo man becomes president, SOUTH EAST WILL STILL REMAIN THE WAY IT IS!!
there is something fundamentally wrong with the structure of Nigeria and unless we address it, we will keep moving around in circles![/quote][/s]

I expected Igbos to produce a better candidate until they showed allegiance to another Fulani Man. So, you epistle does not add up.

While the few privileged Nigerians are making it look like the Nigeria is working, the poor brainless youths are supporting them. Someone is speaking up for you but you are blaming him.

Last time I checked, a graduate was washing a poo ridden bedsheet for 15k per month in an hotel and you claim the country is working.

Brainless youths from the south and the middle belt.

In this video, YouTube creator Fisayo Fosudo shares ideas and strategies about how you can grow your income as a graphic designer.

WATCH:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GkhU4ZXdiNY

1. Getting Learning Started

One thing to note is that, as a beginner, you can never really know exactly how to do something unless you learn how to do it or practice it. To put it in sweeter words, your interpretation of your creativity is limited by your skill. You can have wild imaginations and in your head, there are so many amazing ideas but you just don’t know exactly how to put them on paper or in photoshop. So now, for you to express this creativity, you have to learn that skill and practice it to become more and more competent.

2. Watch Tons of Tutorials

You should spend as much time as you can studying concepts and watching tutorials on sites like Lynda (Now Linkedin Learning), Skillshare, Udemy and more. Of course, not everyone can pay N6,800 or $14 for a 1-month subscription, a platform that works without fail is YouTube. You see, there are 2 major things you’ll almost always do when you’re on your design journey, I believe not every designer can claim to know everything so one thing you will and should be doing is heading on to Google and searching for solutions, like How to create noisy drop shadows and special effects like that and one thing to note is that Google is the biggest search engine, YouTube is the second biggest search engine and YouTube is owned by Google. Some of the results you find on Google will lead to video tutorials and creators on this website can teach you for free.

3. Getting Work Done

As a graphic designer when you’re first starting out, if you’re not directly employed you definitely need to do some work for as many people as you can to grow your income or work on as many projects as you can and because design is very subjective, you have to live with the fact that well you might not be good enough but that’s okay. If you can and I think you should, when you’re starting out, you’ll want to make a bunch of free designs or lower-paid projects you can learn from but you have to make sure it’s meeting the needs of the patronizing party aka the client. Don’t take any feedback personal, you have to accept that you’re just starting out.

4. Join Freelance Websites

There are now many websites online that can help you get work as a freelance graphic designer or just a freelancer. You can earn as much as $500 or more per project for something you would normally do for a very small amount due to the standard of living. Sites like Fiverr, Upwork, 99Designs, and more help freelance designers connect with clients. You would need to really understand the platforms, make sure you read the rules and regulations, or terms and conditions.

5. Being Reliable & Efficient + Have the Right Tools

It pays to be reliable as a designer and meet the clients' demands wherever they are. This means you should also have the right tools to succeed as a designer. A Good Laptop (Core i5 and above), Software (Photoshop, Illustrator, Figma, Sketch), Stylus or Design Tablet (Wacom), a fast Mouse. Make sure you deliver value to the clients and make sure it's what the clients want. Make sure that when you give your designs, you thoroughly explain the designs, explain why you added a button, why something was special about your design what you did right and what you did differently. It's true that this makes the changes to your work much less, it makes the client trust your judgement more and it overall makes your workflow smoother.

6. Understanding Clients

Understanding your clients involve studying their brand wholly, understanding the assets, the colours of the brand and the meaning of the brand. Make sure you know what they want to achieve with a certain design or project and see how this design you’re tasked to create is going to solve a problem for them. Research is very key at this point and the last thing you want is to be the designer that delivers something other than what they want. You won’t get far if you rush the process so take your time to understand every single aspect before putting the mouse on the pad or grabbing your stylus.

7. Asking Clients for Work (Just Ask)

Try to ask your clients if there’s any other thing you can create to help. This might sound cliche but for real, JUST ASK… if you’re tasked with designing a web page, for instance, you can ask if they want a mobile version designed as well. If he asks for an app design, you can ask if they have developers and you can partner with maybe a friend of yours who can develop and you can share a commission. Asking for more work and also asking that the client recommends you can really help you get far. Recommendations can help you get from $500 a month to $1,000 a month to make that much per every single project.

8. Understanding Money & Payment

Two of the questions people have asked a lot is how much to charge or how do you charge and what platforms did you use. With regards to how much you should charge as a freelancer, you can start small but always give value and then on the next project you can test a higher amount, then a higher amount, then a higher amount. Add more services you’re delivering and charge for it. This is exactly what has worked. You can start with 5,000 Naira per design here in Nigeria, go up to 500 dollars per design online, test $1,000, test $2,000, 2500 you get the idea, With regards to the platforms, most freelancing platforms charge a percentage of how much you charge your client, that’s how they make money. A common payment platform for graphic design freelancers that pays directly to your Nigerian Domiciliary account is Payoneer.

9. Market Yourself

One way to grow your income as a designer is pushing your designs out there, market yourself. This is where you want to grow your business and market what you have to offer. A very good way is to join portfolio and showcase websites like Behance which is a very dope place to post your designs and sites like Dribbble. Not only are these websites super dope for inspiration, but you can also post there and you never know, a client might like your work and hit you up to hire you. Dribbble was an invite-only platform that has a way of letting people know you’re available for work. You can also leverage your social media feed like Instagram and Twitter to put valuable design content and your own work to build sort of a portfolio, that way you’re getting access to a larger audience even from your circle.

Can you recommend the best place to learn graphic design in Lagos?

The only regret I am still having in life is my inability to study Law. In fact, I will still go back to school to study the same profession as early as time and opportunity avail themselves.

As for those belittling the profession, all I can say is that you have little knowledge of it. Having background in law is a solid potential antecedent to your success in any other field within and outside Nigeria.

Dear All,

Please is there any hope for 'not recommended' applicants?

So the attorney general of the state is even the son to the APC chieftain Bisi Akande, and as if that's not enough, the wife to the attorney general is appointed as P.A to the husband...so the state will keep funding the family tree like that...up next is to employ their dogs as security aides.

How did you arrive at the above conclusion, or is it only the former Governor of the state that bears such name?

The appointment is not commendable, but giving it another coloration is also absurd.

Nigerian government has forgotten how to be ashamed of themselves.

Please Nigerians in UK, South Africa, Ghana and America my question to you guys is, when roads are built over there do they (government officials) gather to commission it before people will start using it

[/s]

The fact that a road has not been commissioned is not an indication that such road is not being used. It is just a ceremonial formality and evidence abounds even in Nigeria.

Please dust your rickety dictionary and check for the meaning of Secular...
It's hateful and intolerant when your excesses are checked and when you're not allowed to Lord over others. A school was set up with a peculiar uniform but our pseudo-secular people feels their religious mode of dressing most be factored without reverting to the perculiarities of other religions.

A secular people that destroys alcohol but share out out of the taxes...lol

You are wasting your time because they have been brainwashed not to accept the truth even if they see one.

gaskiyamagana:
Which Christian 's right is Islamic public schools are denying Christian students? Reasonable govt of Kwara is protecting interest of Kwara society, which comprises muslims and Christians in public, not religious finance schools.
WWhich part of that agreement states muslim girls should should not come to the or how she should dress?

The agreement stated that the names of schools remain as given by proprietors, and that religious orientation and practices in the schools remain generally undisturbed: why should a reasonable someone go to another school to disrupt the existing religious orientation and practices in such school?

No reasonable Christian would take his/her child to islamic public school, if the parents are not ready to abide by the existing rules and regulations. Many muslim adults have attended the said school in the past, and it has not made them to be less islamic. Public school is public financed as you have said. So, why should such setting be a place for religion activities?

So far all schools are publicly financed, can a Christian Principal encourage the selling of Pork meat in an ansarudeen school environs without meeting any resistance?

Catholic Christian denomination wears regalia which is almost similar to hijab, but they know where to take their wards to for education where the religious orientation could be tolerated.

Religion of peace my foot.

gaskiyamagana:
Christian schools that the CHURCHES or GOVERNMENT is recruting and paying the teachers salary?

Are the public schools with islamic orientation/background paying the teachers by themselves? Society comprises of different stakeholders with different goals and objectives which a reasonable government should strive to protect.

Go and read the agreement we are commenting on once again, but slowly this time around.

Identification of facts from fictions should not be an issue for someone with your level of education.

Sterope:
Are you telling their stories for them? Are you supporting the persecution now?

YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THEY WENT THROUGH.

If it was that straightforward, we won't have Ansarudeen schools and the rest of them.

What persecution? It seems that you have been brainwashed. You have ansarudeen public schools; why disturbing the peace in other public schools with religious orientation.

For your information, Christians and any other religions are not against Hijab or whatever you lots called it. If you guys want to use hijab let it be in Islamic school or any other places not in Christian schools. Is that too hard to understand? Christian schools have their uniform and i am sure hijab is not part of the uniform in any Christian schools and vice versa.

The Governor of the state should deal with other problems in the state rather than taking side on a matter that has been taken to the Court.

Sterope:
This is not about modest dressing

It should be a fight for religion supremacy in public setting then because attended the missionary schools by many muslim adults who have grown up to be a leader today has not made them to be less islamic.

If the above is the case, the real Yoruba culture that imbibed the use of scarves should be invoked in the spirit of equity as the use of berets and Hijab is strange in Yoruba's culture.

Sterope:
How does hijab affect uniform? I don't understand how you can keep shouting uniform, uniform. You no dey tire.

Modest dressing can be achieved with or without hijab, and that is my point. For instance, I met an hijab wearing individual when I was at UNILAG last week at water front environs, and peoples' attention were majorly on the woman because of the kind of jean she wore.

To avoid this kind of trouble, everyone should look for the public schools that meets their religious needs.

Sterope:
Discrepancies? You think children care about that?

If fanatism can exists among christians and muslims in Universities despite their ages, what do you think would be the orientation of those children when they grow up? This is Nigeria and I know what I am talking about bro.

I attended community school consisting of traditionalist, christians and muslims and issues like this was never an issue. Even the use of tiny beads among the traditionalist was forbidden and I can remember vividly how some of my friend were punished in that regard.

thaqib:
Nobody has provided a legal argument against the government in this matter, only sentiments and biased opinions

I don't understand how a school still owned by the founders have their staff on the payroll of government

That aside, how does what one put on his/her head or buttock affect his or her learning
Besides, the government has consistently emphasized it is not enforcing the hijab on anybody. They can't even do that anyway, not even on Muslims!
All they have said was "if u wish to use it, no problem"
Muslims who wear hijab and Christian relate with each other in the university and workplaces everyday. Has it threatened our corporate existence?
Why can't the same happen in our secondary schools in an atmosphere of love?

We only need to respect our individual preferences, be it religious or otherwise provided such doesn't encroach on tm other people's rights. That's all

Anything outside this is religious intolerance and bigotry!


U can argue against my opinion, but perhaps u shouldn't insult

You are the one contradicting yourself, because public schools is not a place for religious activities. However, don't your think that creation of uniforms was for a particular purpose among the juveniles?

Allowing hijab in christian dominated place would create discrepancies among the children and they are too young for this kind of orientation that can bring about hatred and segregation.

Public schools with Islamic orientation abounds everywhere; why must the parents of those children insist on attending schools with christian cultures and orientation?

There is freedom of association and religion, but requesting for construction of Christian worship Centre at Hihira University Ede, seems absurd to me because the name of the school itself has shown the predominant religion orientation and practices.

I don't know how people gain comfort in creating trouble everywhere.

Mikecold:
The truth is the islamists don't even want the education to begin with


They know Christian schools are the best in the country to get solid education so their aim is just to cause trouble for the christians receiving such education


After getting the hijab they would then claim the school and drive the teachers out for islamists ones.


Instead of science or learning they would then be focusing on studying the Quran and learning Arabic


If the Christian missionaries find another place to go settle they would get jealous again with the quality of education

Giving them the right to wear hijab in schools with Christian orientation is not the problem, the problem is the resultant consequences.

If this resistance is not taken with all seriousness, I can bet it that they would request for space to build mosque or creating prayer ground inside the schools' premises in the nearest future.

thebosstrevor1:
The schools are public owned and sponsored by the government.

Are the Christian mission schools bigger than the law of the state.

The case was taken to the court and the court ruled that in favor of hijab use for muslim girls

So what are the so called mission schools fighting for

[/s]

Public school is public school and not a religion centers. So, why are you are contradicting yourself? Public schools abound in Ilorin operating under the islamic tenets; why can't you guys let the sleeping dog lies?

Tomorrow, you will feel entitled to build mosque in the same setting under the umbrella of being a public school.

AnanseK:
Learning has nothing to do with dressing. There must have been some educationists, health workers, administrators and other technical workers that emerged from this Primary School.They were wearing their best , welcoming Chief Obafemi Awolowo the then Premier of the Western Region ( which included Bomadi).
How does hijab affect your education or your life? CAN is just looking for trouble.

Must religion be practiced in the educational setting to promote disunity?

Public schools operating within the tenets of islam abound in Ilorin; why looking for something which was not lost?

Wearing Hijab is not the only way to achieve modest dressing, as the happenings in the society has proved such.

hansomb:
They have the right to wear hijab.

and what stopped them from enrolling in one of those countless public schools with islamic traditions/tendencies?

From what I read from the agritech thread and read, SEC has come into to sector to regulate it, as a result of this regulations most agritechs have left the space. Just wait for final resolution by SEC before you invest otherwise you will bloose your investment with them.
