Have you ever wondered how much animators and cartoonists are paid in Nigeria? Do you want to become one?

Well, we had a chat with a foremost Nigerian Animator, Kanso Ogbolu, creator of the horror series 'freakthefxxkout'.  He shares his journey from starting out, to where he is now.

He also talks about the necessary resources and courses that you can use to upskill yourself and be an animator.

Animation is a beautiful way to tell stories and in Digital marketing it had been proven to drive a high volume of sales and engagement.

Gone are the days when animations were just for kids, now, it is a core skill for the digital age.

Digital entrepreneurship is now more important than it was in the past. And Nigeria is one of the top players in Africa on the Digital scene.

But there are certain facts that are not being told, much like some digital entrepreneurs are not passing information to the new crop of innovators to encourage continuity and help them build upon already established platforms to make them better.

So Faith sat down with Diamond Okoh of Hellofounder to discuss how she has been able to use her past failures to teach new digital entrepreneurs.

Giving them practical guidance that ensures that they don't fail where she did in the past.

This is a goldmine of information, grab a pen and a jotter, and some chilled drink.

When you learn a new language, you learn a whole new world. And with over 500 languages in Nigeria alone, it would be safe to say that the easier it is to learn those languages, the better the chances of learning the various cultures.

For other languages of the world; Spanish, French, Chinese, etc, there are multiple platforms where they are taught.

But for Nigerian Languages, there is a huge gap that needs to be filled.

And that is why we were excited to speak with Yetunde Ayeni-Babaeko.

She has created 'Nalingo Nigeria', a free online platform to teach Nigerian languages, starting with Yoruba.

Listen to her as she shares her inspiration for doing this, and learn how it works.

And with the isolation and lockdown due to coronavirus, you could learn one or two things from there, or get inspired to create something similar.
