[quote author=miss-sweety86]It's funny that someone from a country with very high illiteracy rate (do you want me to give you a number? because i can easily do as I'm working on the MDGs in Nigeria) is insinuating that people from a country with one of the best educational system are not capable to study up to a master's degree...... (by the way almost all my friends who went to university completed a master's and the only one who did not it was for financial reasons)[/quote]Lol. What makes u think im nigerian. Even if i was or am, i would boldly tell you that we have more graduates a year than your country produces in 7years and now lets leave the level of education out of this because we all know how the system is. I wonder why u r angry at what i am saying if you know its not a fact. Switzerland indigenes do not go to school and that is why there is a high demand of expartriates in the system and the foreginers come and take that spot. Atleast its evident with the lady whose relative from germany got a job there.Mind u before u misquote me, i did not say u guys are incapable, i said people do not go to school. The few that go dont further to masters level. Except a handful.

yusufu16: Congrats to all the winners and participants

We should not relent on our quest for self improvement.

We should not allow others to believe in us, but rather we should believe in ourselves.

Thank you Seun for this opportunity.
As much as i wasnt expecting you to win this second contest too, i am glad you took it because it clearly shows the others arent up to par. Congrats...

[quote author=miss-sweety86]WTF?! Please, get some real information before you start criticizing Swiss like that and make us sound like dumb! How many Swiss people do you know?! Do you think we're all so stupid that we can't finish a master's degree?!!!! Our education is one of the best in the world, all the diplomas you can obtain in our education system are valued, not only university degrees, which is why our economy is in good shape and the unemployment level is low. But it is totally false to say that Swiss people don't study up to master's level. Have you had a look at the people in the universities?
Of course if having a master's degree is a job requirement you would have better chances than a Swiss candidate but I don't think people apply when they don't fulfill the requirements, at least the degree. But even though you might have a degree and the other person more experience, you might still not get the job because having a master's degree is not the only thing that matter! Because if you look at the job advertisement they require degree + work experience!
Gosh, I should have kept my promise and never come to Nairaland because people here just drive me crazy sometimes!!!![/quote]Sorry, but you can like to park well where you were before. I gave you a fact.

[quote author=miss-sweety86]It is the truth! They have to consider their own people first when it comes to employment! Of course the best candidate will be taken but if there is a Swiss candidate who fulfills the requirements of the position they will take him/her. I would be really upset if I applied for a job and someone from an extra-european country got the job and we have similar profile in terms of experience/education![/quote]Thats if theres a swiss candidate. Most swiss people dont further up to masters level. Some dont even go to the university after high school. So as a foreigner, having a masters degree gives me more advantage than a swiss citizen who just has experience on the job.

ighoosagie: make coach Ali Doustimehr apologize for his comment.



If its sen ted Cruz , u guys would say it's insult to our integrity , just within 10days Nigeria has been labeled for cheating and fraud frm different continent.

This types of comments would be heard continuously inside n outside the country, until we learn to do things right without cheat and fraud.


We all know dat a real 17yrs old in nija can't kick real leather football , more less of shooting the ball from outside d 18yard to get a spectacular goal.

[quote author=miss-sweety86]It's true we don't have mineral resources. Actually we kinda have no natural resources, which is why we developed a very good education system.
You should check the EPFL and EPFZ, which are the two polytechnics of Switzerland. They probably have something related to your field.

Regarding getting a job, if you don't have a master's and work experience, it's very unlikely that you will get a job unless you are a genius or have very rare skills! Plus when there is an opening, they have to consider Swiss applicants first, then Europeans, and only after that they will consider extra-Europeans.

Good luck[/quote][size=14pt]I beg to differ. the bolded is apparent but its not key. Once you have a master's degree and you can expressively speak the German language, you should be able to get a job. But be warned that the masters programme isnt child's play. You'l work ur ars.e out for it. [/size]

[quote author=Area-Fada]@ 2s£xy


Helvetia/ (named after ancient tribe living in modern Switzerland) is a great country. Rich, clean, low unemployment/economy is good, low crime rate, high income/wages and high living standard. Health care is excellent.

ETH Zurich is always among top 25 world ranking of universities. Geneva and Basel are also excellent unis. IF you liked further maths like me, you might know Leonhard Euler the Swiss Mathematician/Physicist (in the class of Newton, Gauss, Cauchy, Lorentz, Descartes, Leibnitz, Fermat, etc) was a University of Basel alumnus.

Good to raise kids in.

They speak German (with heavy Swiss accent) in Zurich, Basel, Berne etc, French in Geneva etc, Italian in Lugano area. Romansh is a minority Language. In certain towns like Fribourg,you get the impression most can speak both French and German.

Young people and many others can speak English but it is not official or working language. In particular knowledge of German and or French are essential, depending on where you live.

Berne is capital city.

But it's expensive and laws are quite strict. You will people coming across the border to Lorrach, even Freiburg to do family shopping on Saturdays.

For me it's a bit boring and too dull. If you want a quiet life, it's the place to be.

I have never lived there but enjoyed visiting there a lot.[/quote]Spot on analysis.

Ah my friend.But you should contest.Your last year ads were really inspiring.Especially the NDA and the Programming Ad(They were the best in their category.my opinion). Please find time to reconsider.I would love to see some of your creativity.I know you dont give up easily cool.
Cheers!
I dont want to. besides, i just got a new system and it would take me so much time to unpack stuffs from my hard disk to it.

Ayomidewunmi: I believe you run from the competition because you are scare of loosing once more, and that attitude wont make you improve...as a designer you should expect criticism, you follow this steps to stand out among professional.
[size=14pt]lool. Really? I did not know people live in other people's mind now?[/size]
Nairaland Ads › Re: First Nairaland Dynamic Ad Design Contest by redcliff: 3:41pm On Oct 26, 2013
Ayomidewunmi: expect that, and yet i blame nobody..as a designer you need to learn, one of the best way you can learn is facing the challenge, by that you saw where you lack and improve on your ability.
[size=14pt]I am not not contesting because i felt i was robbed. I just dont feel like it this year and its not about the challenge. I am not scared of any designer on here. lol.[/size]

Last year's ad contest Results

Winner : yusufu16
1st Runner up : lightheart
2nd Runner up : redcliff

Notable Entries
yorme
WilliamCee
ogzille
ogayellow
lincolnpixel

My analysis
Yusufu16
Yusufu16 is all out to win this year's contest.More than every other person,he knows the value of this competition and it is rumored that he made more dough than any other designer on nairaland ads.Simply put,the guy is good.Maybe the best.

Lightheart
Will he improve on his position, or settle for less.Only time will tell.Hope he participates.

Redcliff
This guy does not give up easily,I expect him to still be at the top 3.Will he be the one to topple yusufu?

My Preferences
I wouldnt want any of these 3 guys to carry the crown.No beef.but I will like to see an underdog win this one.Just for the fun of it.

Anyway,if by the end of today,I don't see any notable entries from some unknown entities in this field,I shall be forced to foray into professional ad design (that is assuming that it is similar to programming). Just hope,I will come out with my reputation intact.

So guys let the fun continue....
Lool, Your prayers have been answered, i am not winning this year's competition because i would not be contesting. I think I had the best entry Last year..well, according to me. lol. So i weel be watching from the back of my Computer screen this year. Alot of funny entries so far. Hilarious Stuffs. HIlarious because, mere looking at someone's design you can tell they actually opened whatever application it is they are using to design just because of this competition and not because they are designers. Its Sad. lol. sad

naijacutee: @egift, I really like your entries. You've certainly put a lot of hard work and thought into them. I like your use of space, especially in the Fashola advert. I like how it isn't cluttered and you managed to get all the information on the space you were giving, without making it look overcrowded.

If there is anything you could improve on, I would say that mixing of too many font styles in one advert makes it look almost like you are trying too hard. Simplicity is often key. Also, you could work a little on communicating creatively, but one can understand that space is limited and the Nigerian audience might not respond too well to messages that involve too much brain power to decipher.

I have liked your entry and I hope you win. It is obvious that this is something you are passionate about, and you are not just doing it for the prize money, but based on this, I am tempted to send any jobs I might need doing your way. Keep improving yourself through whatever means you find available. Keep spotting opportunities whether or not there are financial incentives attached, even if it is for the sole purpose of self-improvement, and you will go far. Good graphic artists would play a key role in Seun's dynamic idea, and I think that improving your skills to produce good quality work would set you apart and create so many opportunities, both within and outside of Nairaland. Well done.
why wouldn't it be the best when there is nothing better? lol
