I know,but a yoruba adage says "the voice of people is the voice of God"..so if nothing is wrong with law..people won't talk bout it...and please don't let this be centred on law only..can u dispute the other facts there?


You don't sound very bright judging by your post...

Nothing is wrong with any course.. All major and medium scale businesses in Nigeria all NEED Lawyers on their payroll to stay in business. No minor business can grow into a major business without having a Lawyer either on their payroll or on a retainer.. From telecoms to banking to oil and gas to construction to fashion to food to import and export and so on, they must have to deal with legal issues. Law does not begin and end in court.. Infact the wealthy lawyers are not found inside courtroom but in conference rooms negotiating and fine tuning agreements and contracts between entities.

Secondly.. That adage is not a Yoruba adage but a Latin phrase that goes thus; 'Vox Populi, Vox Dei'.

Finally... There is no worthless or less valuable course. Even a course like food and nutrition sef or hospitality management has a very lucrative market.. Or do you think mega hotels like the intercontinental, Sheraton, Nicon and Co are run by the managers wife and in laws? You should find out how much the head cook earns in such hotels.


I am an Engineer that works more in Law.. Your course isn't meant to limit your path but prepare you for diverse opportunities.

OP, apparently you are ignorant of what is Art and the Arts in general.
Do you know that kinetics is also studied in Art?
Have you heard or read Art Therapy in Medicine?

It is my expertise in Art that got me the job of a Public Health Illustrator for JHU/PCS at 21 and later as a national program consultant for the UNICEF at 25.

Art is also essential for scientific illustration in the study of the Sciences.

I studied the metamorphosis of the HIV in the T-Cell before I did the oil painting on canvas and later I went on to studies galaxies before making oil paintings of galaxies and they were all sold out.

I also do drawings and paintings from equations.

There is nothing wrong with studying Art, but everything is wrong with those who are ignorant of the significance of Art in education and life.

well.
if not for abuse on art, courses like law, journalism, linguistic studies, religious studies should not be there.
what should v been core art ll v been visual art, and performing art.
visual art comprises of fine art, applied art & craft.
performing art contains drama, music, dance & magic.

anything diff from these is not art.


if not all those confusion, why ll some one open a thread to say dat art class should be scrapped when people can Still study the core art.

how come a lawyer or journalist is an artist.
art don suffer!

be well informed before u say anything on an issue. Architechture, art and design, industrial design( ceramics, glass, textile design,graphics, space art) how I wish u knew how much these guys are making. The above mentioned can work in a customer care unit of an organisation. So also do we have advertising agencies. Historians are found in galleries, culture and tourism sector as curators with a fat pay that will marvel u. So even if na sh*t u read, sabi am well o! U go make am pieces. Hope u r very much aware of the lad who made a lot of cash from building mobile public toilet. Jst be versatile in ur thots, gbam! That is wat the university teaches u. Most Nigerians are jst too lazy and looking for less tidious jobs wiv a fat pay. Dem go tay!

OP, you said you said you don't need to read dramatic art to know how to act. Do you need to read mechanical engineering before you can proffer solution to a car, when you can easily learn it by the road side? How many of our mechanical engineering students/graduates can cople mechanical appliances?
Do have to read computer engineering before you become a computer guru? I know some teenagers that work in cyber cafès that cople computers better than computer engineering graduates/students. These teenagers are mostly people that just left secondary schools. A friend of mine once his girl friend who is a final year student of computer engineering in of the roadside cafès when he discovered she didn't much about computer.

bro u are so right. U have spoken well. Do you know that china that we so admire their creative prowess do not joke wiv art. For every company in that country, they have an artist studio where numerous sketches of proposed products are produced and modelled before other stages of manufacturing takes place. But hia! Na lie oo! Ignorance has finished us. Multi talented Sculptors and artists built Rome! The likes of leonardo da vinci, michael angelo amongst many others.

MOCA, former directors settle dispute

Museum of Contemporary Art (770 NE 125th Street, North Miami)


http://www.miamiherald.com/entertainment/visual-arts/article3857835.html


The organization hired Suzanne Weaver as interim director and made plans to open in December, coinciding with Art Basel Miami Beach. ICA Miami will open with two free exhibits Dec. 3, one featuring the art of Pedro Reyes in an installation called “Sanatorium” and the other, “As I Lay Drying,” featuring work from Andra Ursuta.

The city institution held its first exhibition under M’Bow‘s leadership in September. A panel of volunteers was named to serve as a steering committee until a new board of trustees is established. MOCA has announced its exhibition and event lineup for Art Week in December, which will feature work from Nigerian painter George Edozie in an exhibit called “Shifting the Paradigm.”

Our Mega Guide to Art Basel Miami Beach 2014: Part 1
by Gary Pini
Just six weeks until the opening of Art Basel Miami Beach! The 13th edition of the annual art fair -- and all it's satellite fairs, exhibits, museum and gallery openings (and parties) -- begins on Wednesday, December 3rd and runs through the 7th at the Miami Beach Convention Center. The city's ambitious plan to build a new convention center has now been replaced with a simpler and cheaper "re-model," but that won't affect this year's fair or the expected 75,000+ international visitors.

Shifting Paradigms: The Work of George Edozie
Museum of Contemporary Art North Miami (MOCA)
Share this article



The show, Shifting the Paradigm is designed to tear down aging but still prevalent concepts surrounding the creation, consumption and interpretation of contemporary art. George Edoize (b. 1972, Nigeria) trained as a painter and has always worked as a painter, in his paintings on canvas he normally applies raw colours on the cloth and works them with the knife. The play between surface, colour and texture is central to his work.

For curator Pr. Nkiru Nzegwu, "through form, color, design consciousness, and containment, artistic endeavor unleashes the embodied powers of life to dissolve blockages and remake reality".

While George Edozie is not an expressionist, he shares a good number of the formal characteristics of the "fauvist" and "post-impressionist" painters at the turn of the 20th century: Cezanne, Matisse, Gauguin, Van Gogh.

In different ways, these artists went beyond the manner in which impressionism focused on reproducing the impression caused by the physical world.
