Speak for yourself! Ancient Yoruba art way before colonization is considered highly advanced for its time and has been compared to ancient Roman and Greek art many times.

Nigerians and superstitious believes, must u make something out of nothing. He is simply going for an exuberant pose while exhibiting confidence in his stance. The hand gesture was obviously done unconsciously. Don't u think he would have looked stiff or lame if both arms were just idling by his side? Why not acknowledge him for his talents.
oh really ? lolzzz, and i do acknowledge his talents but am telling you those are the talents of an illuminated person. that aint no ordinary nigga. his spirit is in sync with a higher dimension. he is illuminated.

Very impressive works. One wonders if he would have fulfilled (part of) his potentials if he had grown up in Nigeria. Nigerians are exceptional. We need only to create the enabling environment

When some homophobic commenters on this thread (and there's a huge chunk of y'all) find out he's gay, I wonder if you're going to re-set the lens through which you see him. Hypocrisy appears to be a national ailment.

He obviously copy-painted some of those portraits from photographs of the persons (images) portrayed here. One must have a steady hand and razor-sharp eyesight to be able to reproduce what he sees. Excellent one.
