CAREER: GET A GREEN CARD IN DIGITAL PUBLISHING AND MAKE MONEY
By Funmi A.
I remember my first time in a digital publishing class, I got so excited because of the revelations.
Learning the simple tricks of working with blogger,wordpress, creating my own website, working with page designing and photo editing tools like Photoshop and Corel draw got me career satisfaction.
Now I get to train people too in my office based in Omole Phase 1, Ikeja Lagos.
Its just amazing how some people have created career out of this training. Designing posters, making money designing and hosting websites for people and even making money online,designing magazine covers and so on.
The revolution in digital publishing has brought about so many changes. The world, many said, would become a global village.
Today it is not just a 'Village' it is gradually becoming a 'street'. Shopping,stock trading, news, and social networking now takes place with just a click.
If you are not online, then you are not 21st century compliant.
In two weeks, you can learn how to become a creative designer and also make money using simple tools right!You can set up and become your own boss. Learn how to create your own website!
Learn the basic art of using photoshop, Corel Draw and creating master designs. You can do it! You can reach Funmi on 08027168728. With as little as N10,000 (Ten Thousand Naira) you can be the creative designer you have always want to be!
Its good for business executives, young school leavers still waiting for University admission or interested persons who want to be in touch with the future of Digital revolution.

FUNKE FOWLER AND ABI KUKU's WEDDING INTRODUCTION INSIDE PARKVIEW
Gistmaster.com
Last weekend, Funke Fowler of Leila Fowler boutique and Abi Kuku, Lagos big boy had their traditional wedding introduction.
The Kuku's family with all the emblem of royalty from Ijebu Ode formally met that in-law last weekend in Parkview Estate, Ikoyi.
The groom is the son of eminent businessman and Ogbeni Oja of Ijebuland, Chief Adebayo Kuku. He is regarded as one of the richest and most influential Ijebu sons.
The first stage of Abi and Funke's marriage was held in Funke's grandma's home inside the elitist Parkview Estate, Ikoyi.
Funke looked scintillating in a blue lace with white and silver accessories; while Abi was in his signature white.
Leila's grand mother is the successful educationist. She runs Vivian Fowler Memorial College for girls in Lagos. Funke's father, Chief Babatunde Fowler is the Chairman of Lagos State Board on Internal revenue. He is said to be close to Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu and other members of the Lagos political family.
Gistmaster.com gathered that the two love birds decided to live the rest of their lives together and also set machinery in motion for their wedding , when Abi finally proposed to Leila in London.
It was during the famous Prince Harry and Kate Middleton royal wedding. Though they have been dating for sometime, we gathered Funke got the wedding proposal ring during that period.
The wedding will hold in Lagos and Dubai in November.
Meanwhile when the couple announced their engagement, lots of people criticized Funke that she's an arrogant snob! Others believe she was greatly misunderstood.
Some are also of the opinion that she wanted to have a wedding that is low key, that is why she didn't let most people into the detail of the arrangement. That is certainly impossible said a Lagos boy, considering the prominence of both families in their respective states.
