HitlerGaddafi:
Don't be sentimental and get out of here. Don't allow emotions take over your judgement.

Hahahahaha...
You are just so ill mannered.
Dishing out what you can’t take.
I only stated some facts about your approach and you are this rattled, what if I had been crass and uncouth like you were?
Grow up bro, for your own good.

LUCAS99:
When it comes to efficiency, IPhone & Android are miles apart.

I’m beginning to doubt if you ever used an iPhone, because if you did, you wouldn’t be making these arguments

Besides it’s too early to Argue this morning, maybe in the evening when I’m back from Church then we can have this discussion.

I gotta have my mind right before stepping into the presence of God.

Bro, don’t bother yourself.
You can’t teach a monkey to like butter.
Those using it are not complaining.
They think iPhones are just for ‘class’.
Ignorance is truly a disease.

ollah2:
It's true worth like

Visiting phonebook everytime to call when I can easily search through from the dialer
Absence of group notifications making my notification panel untidy and looking too busy.
No pro mode in cameras
Having to goto settings everytime before I can activate an app settings when I should easily do it in the app itself

Bros common, put up a better argument

Everything you listed up there is only a problem to someone who doesn’t have better things to use their time for.
iPhone isn’t your thing, accepted.
There’s no justification for comparing it with other phones.
Those using it are not complaining, they are getting the value for their money.
Abi why should you be using paracetamol for another person’s headache??
I can list a bunch of features on the iphone ‘mere’ users have no idea about.
Y’all always have so much to say when it’s not necessary.

HitlerGaddafi:
People talk like this so it won't seem as if they wasted their money since it's a bitter pill to swallow. IPhone is for dummies and empty heads. I used the iphone 6. Mehn an itel it2180 was far better than that crap. I no just gbadun am then. Its a pity society attaches status to users of iphone.

Bro,
Enjoy whatever works for you.
Wasted money, really?
Your post reeks of so much vile arrogance, ignorance and hate.
I can only hope you don’t approach other areas of your life like this, without logic and substance.
Comparison is for idiots.
I use both IOS and android, they each have their strengths and weaknesses.

LOL...
Iphones are not for people who just want to use a phone.
They are for people who use their phones as their offices and have functional things to do on it.
A lot of your points are obviously biased and ill informed.
How do you compare functionality of an OS you used for 18 days with another you’ve used for 8 years?? That’s just silly.
The iPhone isn’t meant for everyone but those who know it’s true worth know better.

Thank you.

More pictures...

Good morning guys...

So recently I made a shocking discovery, I’m still in shock sef.

I got a 300ml container of Rambo insecticide recently, the white one.

In the process of using it, I discovered it wasn’t as effective as I used to remember it to be.
Like how do you spray a cockroach and it still has time to call family meeting before eventually dying some 2 hours later after several repetitions of the spray??

But then, I felt they have probably joined the growing list of dubious companies reducing quality and quantity of their products in a bid to shortchange the consumers(we are always on the receiving end).

I finally exhausted the insecticide while it mainly served as air freshner since it was useless as an insecticide.

Since I burn my waste, I ensure I always pierce containers with compressed air to avoid those explosive sounds that come from exposing them to extreme heat.

So I pierced the Rambo container o, only to notice something like a layer of polythene on the surface.
Out of curiousity, I peeled the layer further and I was left dumbfounded...
An upside-down container of an inferior GONGON insecticide hidden below a polythene layer of Rambo.

Now I have reasons to believe even the GONGON is not the original GONGON considering that the print on it was upside down.

Now while this might not be much of an issue considering we are in the infamous country, Nigeria... But do we even have any idea the sort of chemicals were compressed into that container?

On that note, everyone should please be careful when purchasing these things. Since our government can’t protect us, the least we can do is protect ourselves.

Stay safe.

The Tower of Babel
Genesis 11:-9 | NIV

1 Now the whole world had one language and a common speech.
2 As people moved eastward, they found a plain in Shinar and settled there.
3 They said to each other, “Come, let’s make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” They used brick instead of stone, and tar for mortar.
4 Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves; otherwise we will be scattered over the face of the whole earth.”
5 But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower the people were building.
6 The Lord said, “If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them.
7 Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.”
8 So the Lord scattered them from there over all the earth, and they stopped building the city.
9 That is why it was called Babel—because there the Lord confused the language of the whole world. From there the Lord scattered them over the face of the whole earth.

Going by the above verses in the bible, the major cause of division in the world is the biblical God fueled by his own insecurity.

Is it not then counterproductive to pray to this same God for the promotion of unity amongst mankind?

I feel Nigerians lack a sense of priority.
Imagine the pressing problem to some is the question, "How was your night"?
I guess different strokes for different folks though.
That said, I really see nothing wrong with the question.
While you might decide to be hypersensitive about it, that's strictly your opinion and feeling.
It would have made more sense if you stated not to like it and move on to state your reasons, rather than trying to speak for everyone else.
Personally, I appreciate when my friends ask how my night was especially considering the fact that I suffer from insomnia and don't get to sleep that often.
Someone asking how your night was doesn't warrant you narrating your night's activities to them, it's just their way of caring. Should they feel guilty for caring about you?
If you don't like the question, you tell them and that's that.

All those jargons up there is strictly my opinion.
Thank you.

Going first...

Thank you.

Hi guys,

We are here again to provide members of Arts and Graphics section on Nairaland an opportunity to showcase their works, logo designs specifically.
This is not for comparison purposes, to criticize, oppress, or brag. Just a thread where designers can exhibit their logos and members, guests, fellow designers and potential clients can access, admire, constructively criticize your works and know how to contact you for your services now or later. It can serve as a mini portfolio for the designers.
It's also to prove that Nigerian designers are up to international standards and should be accorded their due respect.

Just like the last time, some rules apply, for organization purposes.

*All designers will have a maximum of four(4) attachments only.
*Each attachment will have a 800px by 200px dimension.
*The first attachment must carry the designer's logo only as well as his/her contact details if he/she thinks it's necessary.
*The other three(3) attachments will contain maximum of four(4) logos each for clarity purpose in no particular order.
*All designs submitted must be the genuine work(s) of the designer submitting it, any forgery or false claims will lead to deleting the affected post and appropriate actions will be taken against the culprit.
*People should try to avoid asking for a designer's price, number, mail, etc on the thread. Their contacts will be on the first image they upload, if they follow the instructions. Any such comments will be promptly removed.
*While I understand some people have no appreciation for this kind of thing, I'll appreciate if we all can respect each other and be as civil as possible. We owe each other that much.


Designers are advised to pick out the best of their designs to better impress visitors and potential clients. No text here except for a brief greeting, just your designs speaking for you.

Have fun.
Thank you.

Twrecks:
Thought you were her spokesman

Shows how smart you are.

Twrecks:
Why should she put on clothes sef?

Ask her.

Nigerians and hypocrisy...
Since when did not wearing a bra become a wardrobe malfunction?
Maybe you people should go check the meaning and stop misusing the term.
Must a lady put on bra all the days of her life?
Must a lady even put on bra at all?
People have so sexualized the female body that even a panty-line is inappropriate to them.
F**cking hypocrites.
Babe is living her life and being comfortable in her own skin.
If you have a problem with it, that's your own problem and not hers.
You are the one with a perverted mind and not her who's doing nothing but live her life.
So stop misinterpreting people's actions by the standards of your perverted reasoning.

Thank you.

This is just another proof of how mentally lazy most Nigerians are.
Even in the attached video, the emphasis was on gaining 'knowledge'.
This obsession with money really needs to be piped down.
How does a training make sense to you when all you are concerned about is money which wasn't even expressly stated in the first place that you'll be given?
She spoke more about teaching people how to seek for funds, and very little about actually funding the businesses.
They asked you to submit your business plans for improvement in areas that need it and you assumed that improvement means funding.
How do you become a successful entrepreneur when you can't even pay attention to details?
And here you are blaming a government for not giving you something they didn't promise you.
It's just so sad that anyone will even make this an issue.
It's more sad that people with 'working' brains actually came to support this nonsense.
Better still, why not sue them to court for fraud and misleading you since your proofs are so tangible?
Y'all need to be less emotional and use your brains more.
Maybe the government isn't working, I really don't care.
But I haven't seen any sort of scam in all that has been stated.

Thank you.

It’s pretty obvious the background was edited into the video. You don’t even need a half brain to realise that.
Just jumping into uneducated conclusions from irrelevant assumptions.

At last you put your picture up here, never would have imagined that. Hope you are good?

Lol... bro.

Yes I’m good, and I hope you are doing great as well.
Happy new year.

yeah, because those ladies dressing are the latest fashion in town




....and yeah I have watched the trailer and what I saw there is just and advanced jungle with a technology

Wow... I just wasted my time trying to enlighten an unreasonable fellow.

My apologies.

PS: who’s the jungle creature, yourself that western culture dictates your sense of fashion or people that chose to stick to their attires which has been optimized for their environment. I admit they are not civilized(from your myopic point of view), but you my brother are still a mental slave.

Rextayne:
I concur.

this useless stereotype of black people living in a jungle using spears and bows and arrow to fight while the white leaves in skyscrapers and drive jn flying cars should end in 2018

Have you ever read black panther before??

Wakanda was the most technologically advanced civilization on the planet according to the comic.

Always seek to enlighten yourself before unchaining your opinion(s).

And stop being so unnecessarily sensitive.

Understanding the psychology of colours is vital to designing an effective logo, says Martin Christie of Logo Design London.

The human mind is highly responsive to visual stimuli, and colour is one of the major defining factors in that response. On both a conscious and subconscious level, colours convey meaning – not only in the natural world but also within the artifice of our culture. Graphic designers need to harness the power of colour psychology to bring resonance to their designs – and in no field is this more important than that of logo design.

The use of colour can bring multiple layers of meaning, from primitive responses based on millions of years of evolved instinct to the complex associations we make based on learned assumptions. Companies can use these responses to underline and accent their branding messages. And your success as a logo designer will be boosted if you have a thorough understanding of colour psychology.

What different colours mean
https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/c0816018105c7a36393dda661fd82fef-650-80.jpg
Big brands pick their colours carefully

Every colour, including black and white, has implications for logo design. As a designers you need to pick your colours carefully to enhance specific elements of the logo and bring nuance to your message with the use of shade and tone.

In general terms, bright and bold colours are attention-grabbing but can appear brash. Muted tones convey a more sophisticated image, but run the risk of being overlooked. More specifically, particular meanings are ascribed to different colours in society...

Red implies passion, energy, danger or aggression; warmth and heat. It has also been found to stimulate appetite, which explains why it is used in so many restaurants and food product logos. Choosing red for your logo can make it feel more dynamic.

[color=#ff6600]Orange[/color] is often see as the colour of innovation and modern thinking. It also carries connotations of youth, fun, affordability and approachability.

[color=#ffff00]Yellow[/color] requires cautious use as it has some negative connotations including its signifying of cowardice and its use in warning signs. However it is sunny, warm and friendly and is another colour that is believed to stimulate appetite.

Green is commonly used when a company wishes to emphasise their natural and ethical credentials, especially with such products as organic and vegetarian foods. Other meanings ascribed to it include growth and freshness, and it's popular with financial products too.

Blue is one of the most widely used colours in corporate logos. It implies professionalism, serious mindedness, integrity, sincerity and calm. Blue is also associated with authority and success, and for this reason is popular with both financial institutions and government bodies.

This diagram shows themes commonly associated with particular colours

Purple speaks to us of royalty and luxury. It has long been associated with the church, implying wisdom and dignity, and throughout history it has been the colour of wealth and riches.

Black is a colour with a split personality. On the one hand it implies power and sophistication, but on the other hand it is associated with villainy and death. More mundanely, most logos will need a black and white version for use in media in which colour is not available – and there is currently a trend for bold monochrome logos and word marks.

White is generally associated with purity, cleanliness, simplicity and naiveté. In practical terms, a white logo will always need to stand in a coloured field to make it show up on a white background. Many companies will choose to have a coloured version and a white version of their logos; for example, the Coca-Cola word mark appears in white on its red tins and brown bottles but is used in red when needed on a white background.

Brown has masculine connotations and is often used for products associated with rural life and the outdoors.
Pink can be fun and flirty, but its feminine associations means it is often avoided for products not specifically targeted at women.

These associations are not rigid rules, of course, but they're worth keeping in mind as you make your colour choices. Remember that the overall impact of your logo design will depend not on the colours themselves but upon how these interact with the shapes and text.

Single or multiple colours?
https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/d1333f0a437c54c320a705f0b64e31bb-650-80.jpg
Multiple colours are difficult to pull off, but can work

To get the maximum impact of your chosen colour's coded message, I normally stick with a single colour when creating a logo design. That said, there are some very successful multi-coloured logos – think of Google, Windows or eBay.

The implication of multiple colours is that these companies are offering a wide choice of products and services. The multiple colours used for the Olympic rings carry a message of diversity and inclusivity.

A newly emergent trend in logo design is the use of mosaic patterns and tessellation. These naturally require several colours, ranging from contrasting brights to multiple shades of a single colour.

Think globally

If your client is a global corporation, choose your logo colour with care. There are cultural differences in the way colours are interpreted. For example, red is considered lucky in China, while white is the colour of death and mourning in India. There's a good round up of the cultural connotations of different colours here.

Finally, don't put too much focus on colour choice. Consider that one in 12 of us suffer from colour blindness. Plus there's always the likelihood that any logo you produce for a client will end up be reproduced in monochrome, or even in different colours, as they see fit. So make sure your colour choice reinforces and enhances the design of your logo – but doesn't define it.

MrHistorian:
She better come out clean.

I refuse to believe sexual harassment by lecturers ever happens in OAU(even if it does,it is done clandestinely).

She has the option of reporting the lecturer to the dean or write a letter to the VC.

Also,She CAN NEVER be failed in OAU for rejecting a lecturer's sexual advancements for the following reasons::

★Most scripts are marked by a group of lecturers ; Conference marking thus making it VERY HARD(or probably unachievable) to manipulate results.

★She has the OPTION of calling for her script if she felt she was inadequately graded.

You no sabi book con dey lie for lecturer head. . . .Shior!

Dude... You talk so confidently.
If I may ask, which department did you finish from before I know how to approach your ignorance?

For the record, I’m not religious and if there’s any religion that disgusts me more than Christianity, it’s probably modern Christianity...

With that said, I really wasn’t expecting such write up from an intellectual, let alone someone impacting knowledge into others.

The reference to the catholic nuns is totally out of place because they have the sense to respect institutional laws and do away with their head covers where and when necessary.

Christians discriminate, muslims do as well. Just because you can’t have your way on a larger scale doesn’t mean you should start running senile.

The Quran talks about covering, not specifically with an hijab. An hijab is more of an arabic thing than an islamic thing, so why not adjust your covering to be tolerant with where you find yourself rather than trying to whip up sentimental support for your efforts to turn everything upside.

This dude even brought black oppression into the equation, like seriously? By the way, he needs to brush up on his history, Rosa parks wasn’t the first to refuse to give up her seat for a white person, a couple of people did it before her. She was just the one to get the publicity.

Religion isn’t meant to be taken hook, line and sinker. Take the essence of it and apply it to your environment. It’s senseless taking someone’s religion and culture all together, it’s hard to believe intellectuals practice this religion at all. This is common sense.

And they need to stop referring to colonial rubbish. The same way most of our practices were passed down by the English is the same way religious practices were also passed down. In actual fact, we are all practicing what isn’t ours.

And finally, y’all need to stop the victim mentality. And I’m referring to all religions. Y’all have destroyed too much trying to be superior to one another. Y’all have even lost the essence of your existence.

GROW UP please.

Dollyak:
You don't have to be a Muslim to see that this is a legitimate protest. Defending an adoption of western culture i.e Lawyers wig, rope and dressings, while criticizing an Islamic dress is a master piece of hypocrisy.

This is such a silly statement...
Is islam an african religion?
What sort of dafts do I share a country with?
Countering one colonial adoption with another colonial adoption...
The wig, the robe, the hijab... they are all tools of oppression.
The earlier you enlighten yourself, the better.

I wonder the sort of future our kids will have.
People don’t even care who’s watching anymore.
They don’t care the implication of their actions on others.
Such blatant show of stupidity.
We are still trying to recover from the ones we see on TV...
Now we also have to deal with idiots who can’t keep their idiocy indoors.
This is sad.
The children are watching.
We have done enough already to destroy their morals through the music and movies.
Need we do more??
