I decided to hit the nail right through its head and call out all pentecostals (Followers of Martin Luther) in Nairaland to tell the whole world why they think the Catholic Church is not a Bible Believing Church.

On what basis will a Church be termed "Non bible Believing"?

FashionWhat Does It Take To Be A Model? by afrikanmodels(op): 1:49pm On May 11, 2017
One of the most common answers to that question is usually: “You have to be really beautiful and really tall.” Eh, not really the truest answer but the physical aspect does account for a lot in the modeling world. But there are many other factors and traits that you must have in order to not only be a model, but to be a good model.

Personality

No photographer or client wants to work with someone who has a dull or boring personality–or worse–no personality at all. If you’re not the type of person who can open up and get to know others or if you aren’t excited or enthusiastic about the work you’re doing, modeling is not for you.

The ability to take criticism

If you have soft nerves, you’ll be sorely disappointed if you want a modeling career. Not everyone is going to love your look or your photos. There will be jobs that you just won’t be right for, and they’ll tell you so. Your agent may tell you the things they don’t like and will need you to change. A model is put out there for the world to see and you will be criticized just as much as you’ll be praised and complimented.

Build up nerves of steel and be prepared to be fully inspected, stereotyped, picked at and critiqued. It doesn’t reflect on you as a person so don’t take it as a personal attack. This is a business and criticism is a huge part of the terrority that you agree to take on once you sign a modeling contract.

Patience

Nothing happens right away and the modeling world won’t always be so fast-paced. Photo shoots take time, getting the right shot takes time, even getting the right bookings takes time. Time is money but if you aren’t able to handle delays or standing around for periods of time without throwing a fit, then you’ll have a tough time making it in this industry.

CareerWhat Are The Expectations For A Career As A Model In Nigeria? by afrikanmodels(op): 11:58am On Jan 17, 2017
Becoming a model is the dream of every young girl or boy who craves fashion, designer clothes, glamour, being center stage and traveling the world.
If you are determined to pursue a professional modelling career, and you feel that you have what it takes, there are a few key things to keep in mind when you decide to take that crucial step onto the catwalk.

Time and Dedication
Building your modeling career and portfolio takes time, effort and dedication. A model must be strong-minded and resilient to navigate the chaotic waters of the fashion industry. Confidence and a strong-will are the best weapons of self defense in this high-paced, ever evolving and fiercely competitive modeling world.

Professional attitude
If you want a successful modeling career, being professional is one of the most important things when working on a photo shoot. However, a fashion shoot consists more than just of a series of poses. You have to be prepared to withstand long hours with fashion designers or in a photo studio, while keeping a positive and helpful attitude. Nobody wants to work with a model who makes the job more difficult with negativity or ego.

Where In The World Am I?
While being a model and having a modeling career has its rewards, one of the pitfalls of the industry is its nomadic quality; a model must be willing to move cities at a drop of a hat. This often results in the feeling of loneliness and the feeling of being out of touch with ones family.

Enjoy The Ride
If you want to succeed in the modelling business you have to put your heart and mind into it. However, keep in mind that the professional cycle of a model is extremely short lived. So enjoy this exclusive and extraordinary race by living it passionately, but don’t forget to take pleasure on what comes next after you’ve cross the finish line.

CareerHow To Build Your Online Modeling Portfolio by afrikanmodels(op): 12:03pm On Jan 16, 2017
How to build your online modeling portfolio in Nigeria
Launching a modeling career is tricky enough, but you'll make it even harder if you don't have a portfolio. The good news is that they're easy to put together, and a good modeling portfolio can make the difference between getting that coveted modeling job and losing it. The bad news is that if you mess it up, it'll certainly cost you jobs, and may even ruin your career before you even get started.
1. Determine your model type.
There are many different types of modeling, some with very specific requirements in terms of physical appearance and skill level. While it’s true that the most common types of modeling do require tall, thin people, there are other types of modeling where the preferred body style is more flexible.
• Fashion modeling is the most common type of modeling that people know about. To be a successful fashion model requires a certain height. In the larger markets, such as New York, the minimum acceptable height is 5’10”, while in the smaller markets the minimum is 5’8”. Fashion models must also be quite thin. In terms of looks, a wider range is acceptable, from conventionally beautiful to striking.
• Commercial print modeling is a catch-all for models who appear in advertisements in magazines and newspapers. It can range from swimsuit modeling to portraying a specific role, such as businessperson, doctor, or representative of a particular demographic. Appearance requirements vary with the type of job. For instance, swimsuit models need to be curvy, yet show good muscle-tone, while representatives of a particular demographic simply need to be attractive examples of that demographic.
• Body part modeling showcases a particular body part, such as hair, legs, or hands. If you have lustrous hair, graceful hands, or legs that go on forever, consider this modeling type.
2. Hire a professional photographer
Call some local modelling agencies and find out who they use. Photographers who work in the industry will have experience with models. They will likely also know what agencies generally look for in portfolio pictures and are able to advise you accordingly.
3. Hire a professional make-up artist
As with the photographer, make-up artists in the business will know what’s expected.
4. Practice posing
Look through magazines to find poses that inspire you. Don’t be afraid to alter them a little to make them your own. Practice them in front of a mirror and change the angle from time to time. Ask a family member or friend to critique your poses as you practice.
5. Pick out your clothing for the shoot
It’s important to realize that the purpose of your portfolio is to sell you.[2] Eliminate anything that distracts from that purpose. To that end, keep your clothing choices simple. Choose solid colors and stay away from prints and patterns. Opt for clothing that you know fits you well: avoid anything that’s too tight or loose. Your portfolio is also not the place for “fashion-forward” outfits.
You will need several outfit choices since you don't want to have pictures of you in only one or two.
If you intend on going into commercial print modeling, it's a good idea to bring a swimsuit, too.

Prepare to demonstrate versatility. Having a number of looks suited to the type of modeling for which you are suited is essential. If the photographer is good, he or she will know what types of pictures and looks you will need.
• Headshots are images where the model's face is depicted clearly. Usually coming in 8x10 sizing, the picture is typically of the model's head and upper torso, taken at close range. It's important that the headshot focus on the face. They are also usually taken with minimal make-up, so that the model's facial structure and skin tone are evident. Every model needs one in his or her portfolio.
• Beauty shots, on the other hand, are artistic images, that like the headshot, are of the model's head and upper body. However, unlike headshots, the model is made-up and may be posed dramatically. If you want to work as a commercial print model, this photograph is a must for you.
• Fashion shots are exactly what they sound like: photographs of the model wearing different outfits, with the focus being on the clothing. Even the model's make-up complements the outfit. These images are for fashion models.
• Swimsuit shots showcase the model's body. This is another photo that you'll need for commercial print modeling.
• Another photo that's important if you want to go into commercial print modeling is the editorial shot. Centered around a story, here's is where you'll be playing a character in a particular narrative.
Part 2
Visiting the Photographer’s Studio
Maintain your looks. Looking your best at your photo shoot is crucial to your success as a model. Accordingly, perform any routine maintenance on yourself as you need before the big day. For example, have a hair-cut or get a manicure.
The day before the shoot, make sure you get a good night's sleep and stay away from alcohol.
Communicate with the photographer.
Good communication between model and photographer is essential for great pictures. Listen carefully to what the photographer wants. Try not to be nervous, but do acknowledge that the feeling is normal...even models who have been working for years get nervous.
Showcase your confidence and charm. You want your pictures to capture the essence of what you can bring as a model: your vivacity and ability to portray varied characters and moods. Don’t be afraid to show off. This is your time to shine and be noticed.
Creating Your Portfolio
• Choose your portfolio shots. Remember quality matters more than quantity. Select 12 to 16 of your best photographs. Enlist family and friends to help you out.
• Make sure that your photos show you in different outfits and in different locations. Also important is including images of you in different lighting, for example, indoors and outdoors.
• Arrange your photos for publishing. When a potential client opens your portfolio you want to wow them from beginning to end. Accordingly, include your best pictures, two in the opening and two in the closing pages of your portfolio.
• Register online at http://www.afrikanmodels.com
• Update your portfolio. As you get modelling jobs and gain experience, add this to your portfolio. Keep “tear sheets,” usually magazine pages or photos from a photo shoot. These demonstrate your success as a model.
• Set up your profile. Your profile will list important information about you. Include the types of work you’re willing to do, your statistics, for example, your height, weight, hair and eye color, whether you have any problem areas on your body, for instance, tattoos or scars, and finally, any relevant skills you have, such as knowing a sport, or how to play a musical instrument
