Culture › THROW BACK : White Woman Learning How To Wash Cloth From Nigerian Women In 1915 by djcrooky(op): 6:31pm On Jul 27, 2015 |
This was in 1915 and shown in the photo are the women of Yagba in Egbe, now present-day Kogi State given what was described as ‘a lesson on how to wash clothes’ to white missionary, Mrs. Thomas Titcombe.
Egbe is an ancient town bordering Kwara and Kogi states and as far back as the early 20th century, it received foreign missionaries like Reverend Tommy Titcombe (a British-born Canadian missionary) and his wife a missionary with SIM (Sudan Interior Mission; now Serving In Mission) who arrived Egbe in 1908. Both of them later learnt Yoruba and the Yagba dialect with which they preached the gospel of Christ to the people.
The popular Titcombe College was named for the reverend and they also set the foundation for the ECWA Hospital, Egbe, one of the biggest Christian hospitals in
Kogi State.
P.s as backward as we were in certain comparisons, I am pretty sure the white folks learnt a lot from us too, let's not forget the egyptians.
Life is all about perspective
There are many truths, everyone is mostly right about their views

aceprime: You need a lot to work on,before you start manipulating,place all your images at the respective place(s) you want them to be,take a moment and look at them before manipulating,DON'T RUSH and don't copy effects and paste,instead,tweak the effects,ask yourself,why is this effect done this way?,why don't i do it like this?(that's creativity),the cracked face lady and the other(splash effect lady) would have been a damn good manipulation if you've worked on your basics,i see good ideas in both,take your time,you have all it takes yosh, thanks man, i'll try and put that to work |

grafixdon: I won't be part of those that will deceive this young man. I told him the bitter truth so he could sit tight. If you call that a nice job then am sorry maybe you have your own definition of nice job. I take a critical look at his designs, I can't communicate with them, the whole designs are messy, and u want me to praise him for that.
Djcrooky, Pls sue ur instructor and get your money back. Lol. But seriously, I wanna check your profile next time and see amazing designs, God will give u the strength and abilities, I don't mean to pull u down I just want the best for u, I want u to be a guru, if I say u are good u will definitely start to raise ur elbow and thinking you have arrived. Goodluck. thanks, amybe i would go and sue my self, i am self taught learn from videos, e-book and client complaints when i work... you know there are people "better" than you and people better than the people better than you so no one is ever there we all keep getting better, its not about deceiving anyone its about manner of approach, courtesy and not being and ill-mannered ass trying to make your self feel better because you have found someone you are better than at the moment . so chill mahn, i didn't headline it "best graphic works or call me for job" i said criticize, tell me where am wrong and not try and kill the spirit, you are a terrible teacher please refund fees back to your students and sue the person that taught you that method of teaching |
Art, Graphics & Video › Re: Graphic Designer by djcrooky(op): 7:32am On Jul 18, 2015 |
Brugo: You know I never asked you to praise his works. I said you should communicate constructive criticism. You are yet to point out one area for him to work on. If you cannot find one particular aspect in his designs to correct then I sincerely doubt your skills as a graphic tutor.
By the way, there is a market for his kind of design. His strong point is photo editing / manipulation. Just a few touches and he would good enough to design nice movie posters and album art. All he needs is more information on layouts, text and colours.
If he had boasted about his "prowess" initially, I would have ignored your sharp criticism but he never claimed to be good, so why the negativity? It was not needed at all. thanks, this is the second time someone is commending the image manipulation, i didn't know it was a thing self... i guess i'll work on that

I know that I have a long way to go its the only way I allows my self to learn more and be better so I need not be told Now why don't you Criticize like a professional ...

Romance › Re: My Affair With A Generous Aristo by djcrooky(m): 8:34pm On Jun 08, 2015 |
Naijasinglegirl: NCC had issued a deadline to all Nigerians to register their SIM cards before a certain date or risk being disconnected from their various service providers.
I happened to be one of those found wanting a day to the stated deadline. That Thursday, I abandoned everything on my schedule with the aim of registering my MTN sim card before the end of the day. When I got to their office, I was the 370th person to join the longest queue of my life. From my calculations, it was going to take nothing less than three hours before they got to my turn.
Just when I was beginning to lose hope, the security personnel assigned to maintain order on the queue took me to the front where I was attended to promptly.
I thought it was sheer luck only for me to receive a phone call from one of their senior staff that night. Apparently, he had been my knight during the day and I didn't need to interrogate him on how he got my contact details.
He said the only way I could thank him for his help was to pay him a visit.
I was a bit sceptical to meet up a total stranger so I lied I was travelling out of town the next day and I'd return in five months time.
In the weeks that followed by, he kept tormenting me with his incessant phone calls with a promise to stop only if I come to town to see him.
Tired of playing mice&cat games, I told him I was going to come the following weekend.
He suggested a Sunday at his office since he worked 7 days a week and the time was fixed.
When I got there, the strange man sneaked up behind me, grabbed me by my waist and placed me beside one of those mainframe computers MTN uses in typing their annoying spam sms.
He stood at an intimidating height of 6'6.
Initially, I was nervous and scared at the same time.
I told him I won't be spending more than two hours with him as I had to travel back to my base in the afternoon. He didn't object to that.
When he caught me staring at the MR biggs across his office, he offered to buy me 'food'.
Well, I'm not the type that says no to free food from Mr Biggs.
I was expecting him to return with their signature yellow/red polythene only for him to shatter my heart by sending this very sad text message.
'Shaki or Pomo?'
I panicked when I read it. When did Mr Biggs introduce shaki and pomo to their menu? I wondered.
I was still trying to make sense of his question when he returned to the office with one covered 555 stainless plate and glass bottled fanta.
''*Naijasinglegirl* you didn't reply my message in time so I got you one shaki and two boiled eggs to go with your rice&stew." he said.
Look at this stingy man oh. Supposing I had truly come in from another town, it means I came all the way to eat dirty mamaput from God knows where.
I didn't say a word but deep down, I knew there was no way I was going to touch that 555 plate with the star&moon spoon he was holding.
As if that was not enough insult, he took one of my eggs (the larger one) and ate it in my presence! Such disrespect! Then he opened my fanta and drank directly from it. When he placed half of the fanta on the table, bits of eggs yolk were swimming in my drink.
I was so disgusted. At that point I regretted not using etisalat network. LoL.
Then he came over to where I sat and attempted to give me a peck with his smelly egg mouth.
That was when I saw his wedding band...
"Your ring is fine." I said.
"Thanks." He replied in a slimy nonchalant way.
There was a deafening silence for some minutes. Then he got talking again.
"You see...I am very attracted to you and it would be nice if we get to know ourselves intimately...you never can tell where it might lead us to."
Being the outspoken girl that I am, I had nothing to lose so I said, "Lead me to some place as your second wife? So you want me to be your extramarital affair partner? So that I will be having sexual intercourse with you? How long have you been committing adultery sef?"
Surprisingly, he burst into laughter.
When the laughter had subsided, he went on to tell me how he was disappointed I couldn't appreciate his honesty.
In his words, the fact that he revealed his marital status showed he cared and he is serious about me. *sigh*
It was no use arguing with him. Maybe I would considered his aristo offer if we couldn't afford shaki in my house or if I had not eaten pomo before.
One hour had passed and I was more than anxious to leave.
When I made my announcement. He handed me one N500 note and one packet MTN tshirt from his office cabinet as if I am one of those MTN marketers that use to dance shoki in front of computer village.
Just imagine the insult.
He got my message clearly when I turned down his MTN shirt, his N500, his fanta, his mamaput rice, his egg, his shaki, his peck, his aristo offer and his peepee.
The generous aristo never bothered me again.

jaymichael: I listened to the song "down" the female voice has a great resemblance to to Amy Lee of evanescence with a touch of the cranberries. Nice song. One last Autograph should just be themselves, find your own rhythm. They shouldn't try to sound like anyone else just as John Rzesnick of Googoo dolls said "I always have this thing; if you write a really cool song, & then you put your leather pants on, you go out, and play, that's cool. That's playing with your image. If you put the leather pants on, & write a song to fit the pants, you're a total poser. You're being more conscious of your image than your craft, or whatever you want to call it, & you really have to avoid that". That is a thin line, when u are on same genre there is a chance u sound alike, amy lee, sharon den, epica and apocalytical all sound alike because of how the genre is meant to sound, a particular voice type or texture is need Take sia and rihanna for instance, you are only saying this was cause she is nigerian (I dnt mean u re being racist).. Do u notice how she sounds like shakira too cause of the yodellng which is a singing technique |
