Freestainworld:keeping quiet might be giving the guy false hope. Atleast the artist will get closure. I wouldn't even feel bad if I were him because I would have weighed the possibility of such an answer. Life doesn't always have a positive outlook. |

PapaNnamdi: Well, technically, it isn't free. As a fresher, you need to build a portfolio and the easiest way to do that is to do free/cheap work at the beginning of your career. That way, you'll have something to show as samples when a big contract comes. Also you'll have testimonials from those free/cheap clients. Also you get to sharpen your skills, build a workflow and even understand the customer-client relationship. Finally, you make some cash to sustain you till you're able to sign big deals. I've been there. 3 Likes |

Mindlog:Now let's not also forget that the artist said and I quote " please retweet if you like this art work" and Mr Akin replied " I don't like it ". To me that was a standard constructive reply. The "if you like it " and the " I don't like it " are very standard replies in English language. On the other hand I can understand if you want the artist to be babyed and patronised for a bad job but there is nothing inhumane or mean about Mr Akin's reply. "I don't like it" is a feedback and a constructive one at that. If the artist is serious ,you probe further as to why he doesn't like it and get a complete feedback not whining and dishing out motivational quotes and parables. Dem say na who want something e hand dey long pass.Every means of living has its own hazard, just like people call their son's age mate sir at the office. I am sure alot of people must have seen the art work before it got online, I just hope he does away with those people ,they are asslickers. |

This thing doesn't look like him kobo. Akin Alabi said the right thing. He doesn't like it. Nigerians should stop celebrating mediocrity... Just because we don't want to hurt people's feeling, many of us are willing to take shit and then say thank you after the taking of it. Plus this looks more like an unsolicited contract... The only way to win admiration in such instance would be to be extra awesome as an artist. There is room for growth, let the artist grow first instead of trying to win approval in his/her unformed state. muchroom: |

uglodoh: Na so maturity police. Its a free world, he can either like the portrait or not. And he didn't. The artwork is amazing but there are issues with it however slight. He didn't say the artwork was bad or the artist can't draw. I mean its obvious the artist is talented. But he failed to accurately capture the essence of Alabi. Hence why he didn't like it. This guy is not the 1st artist to have heard those words. And he won't be the last. It would be interesting to you to know that the great artists of old like Da vinci and co had similar experiences like this. What did they do? They went back studied the criticism they got and became better. Criticism should be welcomed as an artist, that's the only way to notice your flaws and become better. If Alabi had just said thank you, that would have given the artist a false sense of validation. Which will make him repeat same mistakes in his next artwork. Trust me that is more harmful than what has been done here. It took a lot of courage and maturity on the part of Alabi to say, I don't like. Against the norm that would have clearly been of no help to the artist. |

Atleast he was blatantly honest, i am sure if the art was done the same way or even worst by an American child he woulda love the art. And these are the hyporcritical nigerian politicians who are perssuading nigerians to love nigeria products. |

gypsey: Your notion is exactly the reason why people don't like Nigerian products. Look at the local rice. I heard a lot of people praising the local rice when government ban importation of rice. But guess my opinion after getting one... It was terrible. Just because something is made in Nigeria doesn't mean you should off your brain and start praising it when it is clearly undeserving of it. We need to start demanding excellence from each other. The American products didn't become popular among Americans overnight or because they were mediocre. No, it was because the government and the people demanded excellent products of the highest standards. Thats why most of their manufacturing companies have rules and codes to follow and their products equally have standards they must meet. This is how you ensure Nigerian products are patronised. Why will someone go all the way to US or Taiwan to import rice when we produce premium quality products. Why do you think dettol is doing great till tomorrow? Its not just about supporting Nigerian products. Its about supporting quality Nigerian products. For this to happen we need the right enabling environment and incentive for Nigerian manufacturers who get it right. And give a helping hand to those who get it wrong by not only criticising them, but actively help them to be better. 2 Likes |
