Huracio:
I meant the ones taken away from badagry to Brazil as slaves to work on plantations; most of them actually came back after the abolishment of slave trade with names given to them by their Masters.

Nope. They started returning long before slavery was abolished in Brazil in 1888.

Huracio:
yes ooo, most people do think there are no original Lagosians as Yoruba but when they read, they will understand more.the Benin descendants are probably the greatest beneficiaries of Lagos today, na dem get Lagos islands and their King too.

Lol, let the Awori Idejo white cap chiefs catch you claiming that Benin descendants own Lagos Islands. Even the Oba of Lagos is a descendant of Alaagba, the Ijesha priest of Oba Akinshemoyin. Stop making spurious claims o.

Nisiw365:
even though ajayi is a returnee, they do not share history, ajayi is oyo, thos ones are awori and egun

What do you mean by they are Awori and Egun? Do you know his family history?

placeofallure:
His ancestors are returnees. When you hear Pedro, Gomez, Fernandez, Ramos, Grillo, Salvador, Da Silva, Pereira and co; Na dem

They share history with Ajayi Crowther.

What history do they share with Ajayi Crowther?

penceman:
The Portuguese surnames is how you determine real Lagos indigenous family. cardoso Jose, Ricardo.
How tinubu who I heard his real name is Amuda is Chopin Lagos money due to one man! The present greedy head of afeniferere.

How does having Brazilian/Portuguese surnames automatically mean "real Lagos indigenous family" when the Brazilian and Cuban returnees that settled in Lagos have their own roots in the hinterland of Yorubaland?

youngblaq:
This "Gomez" name, sounds Portuguese. Abi na just me?

Many Yoruba people from Lagos bear Portuguese surnames na. How are you just being aware of this?

Christane:
Gomez ??...he his from Mexico or Colombia ...how cum d name gomez

He's an Aguda. Descendant of Yoruba returnees from South America.

WiszyFraud:
Normally, an Igbo man should govern us this time..

Let us give them the chance


What is “one Nigeria” for btw?

Maybe we should test this your "one Nigeria" rhetoric in Anambra, Imo, Abia, Enugu, Ebonyi by making a Yoruba man a governor in one of those states?

Chloraseptic:
Who blow for music industry go just dey feel like say he/she did everything right that's why they blew..

They nor know say luck, chance and above all Grace played a big role..

Of course, luck plays a part in everyone's successful career, but you still need dedication and seriousness for you to succeed. Sometimes, talent alone just isn't enough. Look around you and see so many talented derelicts.

Chyma1:
Yes, There are so many tutorial videos on YouTube that would help you become a professional

Thanks so much.

Jostoman:
I hope Lagosian would summon the courage to elect their own candidate not the one that would be impose on them by Lagos APC
godfather in 2023.

Who's the candidate of Lagosians that they should elect?

Abolajigram:
Yes you can, with youtube.

Thanks.

Mercychen:
Urmmm... Maybe ask those who did theirs online because. I didn't learn online. I went to the school and learnt it one on one. This was as far back as 2001 before ever online classes began; at least here in Nigeria. So I can't really say much about online computer graphics training.

Though if you have a laptop, you can download a self training app and use it to learn. I think some guys had it back then and they were always ahead of us in class. It used to come in CDs those days.

Okay, thanks for the feedback.

Chyma1:
I'd advice you learn with industry standards Apps like Coreldraw, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator. Etc.
Cos there are complex and sophisticated designs you won't be able to do using pixellab.

Can I learn Graphic Design on my own with these apps?

KhingLufem1:
Why not start with one of these software
Adobe photoshop
Adobe illustrator
Coreldraw

Though the pixel lab is not bad

Please can I learn Graphic Design online on my own? If so, how can I learn it. What do I need?

Mercychen:
Mmmm... How about embossing the Logo? It makes it more appealing. Then, never blur out a text. You want people to be able to read your text. So, the blurry text is a no no.


Try using wordArt text for your titles. Use the tilting text with really bold letters. They appear better that way.

Chai! Reminds me of my days in computer school, learning graphic designs with Corel draw. We did shegey with graphics. Pepsi logo and all.

I remember an interview at Guinness. I was asked to design a Guinness logo, I wowed the chairman and got the job as a data entry clerk. Memories.

Please how can I learn Graphic Design online?

Please how are you learning Graphic Design with Pixel Lab?

Truthvalue44:
Reno omokri never said Benin a s yoruba were one, Reno omokri doesn't even claim to be a yoruba, but trust yoruba scam artists on nairaland to twist words right and left and make fantasy titles and put words in other people's mouths.

Are you alright in the head at all?

MelesZenawi:
Any evidence to supersedes Reno own?

Reno Omokri is not an Historian so I don't take his utterly spurious piffle filled with fictitious claims seriously. Binis aren't Yoruba, and you are also wrong to say "Edos" are Yoruba. So-called "Edos" aren't monolithic. You have Bini, Esan, Okpameri, Yoruba in Edo State. The Bini monarchy has Yoruba roots (I know Bini revisionists will cry at this), but the Bini people themselves aren't Yoruba, even though some of them like the Usen people are of Yoruba descent.

Asiri1991:
Let them be. I know we are Bini and not Yoruba. The funniest thing here is that once you assert your origin against their analogy, they malign you to another tribe. Can't I exist on my own without being webbed with the Yorubas?

Oga, I'm Yoruba, and I know that Binis (not "Edo" as I initially wrote) are not Yoruba.

MelesZenawi:
It has never been disputed before.

Edo is Yoruba and that is what it has been.

Any contrary view should bring a sound evidence not hearsay.

Edo is not Yoruba. Grow up.

Wow! This is what is called FATALITY in Mortal Kombat. See how Osu people were thoroughly shellacked and destroyed on their own meth-induced thread to the extent that even the moronic Osu cretin that started the thread shamelessly ran away, lol. Kudos to all Omoluabis that put these Osu pigs in their place.

BKayy:
So Ariesbull, Ibadan is actually a brand new poverty estate.
There is nothing old about it.

Your greatest intellectuals schooled in Ibadan. That's enough L for you and your people.

Elvictor:
This is stale, I have lived in Rivers State, and still in Rivers hitherto, this black soot of a thing has been exaggerated and is now a laughable matter.

The owner of that dirty feet, after walking around barefooted what his legs to look like what? Looked at the place his legs is lifted above.

You people have been envious, that Rivers State have been peaceful for a while now, not cultism supremacy battle, and everyone is living fine, the insecurity card of chasing potential investors from Rivers State have been destroyed.

Afonja's miscreants and Lagos A.K.A Tinubu Owambe riff-raffs have started soot card, just to derail Rivers State from being an investors destination.

That the person on that photograph to make his or her environment healthy, and stop displaying his or her feet legs on internet, she or he is now a nuisance.

Nonsense!

Hilda Dokubo is from Rivers State yet you're blaming "Afonja miscreants" and "Tinubu Owambe riff-raffs"? Lol, so many mentally unstable cretins on Nairaland.

phemmyfour:
You didn't do maths in school, so I don't expect you to see the embarrassment in calling someone 1/4 of its nationality

What a dimwit!

phemmyfour:
Nothing "Nigerian" about her name

Who wrote her wiki sef.....So she's 3/4 British

Plumptre is one-quarter Nigerian. She grew up supporting Leicester City and attended the parade when the men's team won the 2015–16 Premier League title

She's 1/4 Nigerian yet you still claimed that "nothing Nigerian about her"? Does this make any sense to you?

scopusng:
The name resemble naija name?

It's an English name, but there are Yoruba people from Lagos whose surname is Plumptre.

yoged:
mumu. Oponu. She is Igbo

The idiot is Yoruba. Forget that she's trying to identify with her mothers ethnic group by claiming to be Igbo.

RichDad1:
FYI , she’s Igbo.

The mentally unstable idiotic lady is Yoruba, but her mother is Igbo. Let the shediot keep calling herself Igbo, I dare her to go for an elective position in the South East. I trust the Igbos to put her in her lane by reminding her that her she's Yoruba if she tries it.

Afonjakid:
why are yorubas constituting nusiances where ever they are and always blaming Nigerian government when they enter trouble

Funny. When the lady in question sees herself as Igbo calls herself nwanyi Abagana? You be werey!

oluwaseunamos33:
where is this talented idiot coming from? I no blame bastard like you, na your parents I blame cos had it been they take note during ur naming ceremony after spending money to invite pple but despite that, the sits were all empty, they should have known they give birth to bastard

You're so utterly dumb you can barely make coherent and comprehensible comments. Dimwitted scumbag!

teeshet:
you are a big fool

Being a fool is far better than being a brainless degenerate.
