I need a place I can learn these two tech skills in Akure please, Graphic design and Web developer...

Imagine a tech company I get in touch with earlier is demanding 360k for the both courses for 5months duration
A very long time ago, 2023, I heard of some place in Ondo state, named the dome, and that trains tech enthusiasts free and provides co-working space too. Apparently, it was a state govt project.

Checking the internet again, I saw this: https://ondea.ng/trainings/
This should be it. Check it out or call someone that you may know around the the dome to help ask.

Funked Akindeles strategy is that whenever she releases movies , she will give false profits, to make people go to watch her movies ...cos when people hear that her movie sold out , they will then go to watch it cos news of high sales will trigger people to go watch it...its a psychological effect ... now if u watch it, u will not see anything special in that movie .. those that will now rush to watch it will now be much , due to the news of false high sales ...that's how they make money off it... Cinema movies are no longer making money... and again, she usually targets festive seasons to reason her movies ... she's a smart business woman
Not true .

If people got dissatisfied and disappointed with her last movie, it would be difficult to repeat the same gimmick on them.

She seems to know what the average Nigerian wants with movies and she gives it to them.
So sorry that you are more sophisticated than the average Nigerian
This is the crux of the matter

Congratulations to her. To people hating on Jennifer and her accent, just try and see the movie. What makes a movie is mostly the story and this story is top-notch. You won't see the twists and turns coming. I had fun in the cinemas when i saw it with my family. I saw Alakada Bad and Bojue too same day but we enjoyed Everybody loves Jenifa. We were still talking about it going home while we forgot about Alakada, not saying it's also not a good movie but it's very forgettable. I can't wait to watch ELJ again when it begins to stream. Funke did it and she deserves this milestone. It was actually never in doubt. My MVP in the movie is actually Layi Wasabi.

Grace is when you don't do jazz, it does not make sense, and it is making money.
Congrat to her.

Crocs grossed 2.3 billon dollars in 2021. I don't like crocs. Interestingly, I have 4, and I have given out 4. Someone once said, how can an ugly shoe make such money?

You don't need everyone to stay relevant. You only need your audience. That is a major rule of money.

Hmmmm .... always ready to cap. Why wouldn't it break the record when the Naira is pretty much worthless? Convert to US and let's see it's real performance against other films.

I guess she is doing something right...

I don't like the Jennifer series. I think it's boring and "over flogged" with the whole weird accent thing but she is making money from it and that's what matters. Life is just grace.

No one should quote me. Coz I know many of you can't take another's opinion or criticism without a fit.

Congratulations to her!
you've said it all. I'm not even a fan of Funke, her acting style seems over saturated, and depicts forced character without real humour. But she's a lucky person, which tells truly what life is. You don't need to do the best to be the best, sometimes, grace does it all. Co grants to her

even the seven doors is overhyped. Nothing spectacular about it. Watch "escape from sorbibor" and see real movie depicting reality.

This Funke don try oo. She has actually redefined the movie industry , she spends big on her films and she knows what the local public wants . It is all about the marketing , there is money in the local market. Afolayan in my.own view concentrates on making films to foreign high standards in order to make a mark there but jenifa in my own view prioritises the local market, people want to hear the local slangs ,vibes and pure Naija vibes
