Rotflmao!!! That's Dimka/Mohadana/Okoroamadi/Harvest/Pilas/Dakobu etc for you. The smiley is the signature. Makes it look like you're dealing with a mentally deranged human even though he/she is normal. Kinda makes the case more bizarre. . .

I will vote for anyone that has an impressive track record and has something inside his skull that is not cockroach puke, irrespective of his beliefs, but the problem I have with Nigerian politicians is their lack of respect for the thick  boundary between personal opinion, religion and state.

I am almost sure the Ifa priest will not attempt to railroad us into "Ifaizm" Most (if not all) Adherents of Afro Religion that I know are very tolerant. Can't say the same for the homosexual and the atheist, considering that most atheists I know have zero tolerance for RELIGION and most homosexuals won't get off your tail until you tell them homosexuality=Awesome!

1. When Ibrahim built his shed in 1978 it probably was not Illegal else it would have gone years ago. The city has evolved over the years and any 'restoration' effort should be made around these changes. Must a city look like it was planned in 1960? We have to accept that buffoons have ruled in the past and work around the fruits of their mistakes and not punish innocent people.

2. Last time I checked even the hallowed USA grants amnesty to ILLEGAL immigrants which can be equated to compensation. I do not think Ibrahim should be paid out but maybe relocated to a new place and not have to fork out thousands to do so. These structures should be worked around and not  just demolished after so many years just because past governments were too busy writing checks to themselves to notice anything wrong with the 'masterplan'.

GBAM! Nothing more to add. Ol boy, I owe you 12 crates of Akpeteshi and two barbecued cows.  



I was also shocked to read some of Becomerrich's  rational posts  

Yup. Lots of money or someone will be coming to the ''battle'' venue with a brand new ''bulala'' to smack the chit out of the dude for drawing 'em out for no good reason. . .

Is this not the same slowpoke who said oil flew down south from Chad. . . or is it from Afghanistan. . .

Useless Okongwu imi anwuru. . .

abi oo!!! roflmao!!!

For those who do not know, all of Europe and even America knows the pope is against catholics using condoms period. Even here in America, the catholic community does not spend time distributing condoms but are known for abstinence talk as well. There is no need for the WHITE-MAN-IS-AGAINST-ME delusions here.

ROTFLOL!! I knew it would be just a matter of time before someone sneaked in that line. . .

They must have reasons to stay put in SA instead of flocking to Nigeria for dry greener pastures. .

Did you folks expect the Pope to distribute free condoms?

Easier said than done. . .

For those looking for cute Igbo names, here ya go

Zikora (Unisex) - Show the People

Chika (Unisex but more common among the females)  - God is great/test

Ola (Female) - Precious, pretty stuff, Ornament (gold/bronze/diamond. . . )

Zinachidi (Unisex) - Show that God exists

Somadina (Male/Female) - I will not exist alone (More like "No man is an Island"

Akunna (Female)- Father's wealth

Chetanna(Female) - Remember the father (ie God)

Enuma (Female)- Haven knows

Obinna (Male) - Will of the father (or you can say Will of God) Same as Uchechi/Uchenna/Uchechukwu

Chioma (Female) - Good fortune/luck.

Chisom (Female) - God is with me



Now for the not so cute or plain 'weird 'Igbo names . . .

Ogbenyeanu (female) - Out of the reach of the poor man  (This mus be Abia/Imo state name  *hides from ***osis people  )

Ekwutosi (female) (probably the ugliest Igbo name when pronounced) - Do not ridicule. . .

Mgbeke(female) - Born on Eke market day. Unfortunately some silly people changed it to Bush village woman

Uchichi/Ochichi (male) - Midnight/Darkness

Meremereninukwampetenazu- Hypocrisy 

Today, it's 'cartel', tomorrow it will be juju and when they observe Nigerians are having a laugh at their expense, they'll accuse God of racism (refusing to answer the prayers of the black man).

When every imbecilic excuse fails, they'll urge everyone to leave matters in the hands of God, including but not limited to NEPA or is it PHCN and non payment of pensions. . .


What I find very fascinating is not our imbecilic leaders but rather their unshakable conviction that Nigerians are a bunch of suffer head  imbeciles and perpetual gluttons for punishment who will adjust to any inhuman situation or worse still forgive their atrocities as long as they are ''trying'' (which usually means diverting 93% of the federal allocation to their private accounts instead the usual 100 or 98%)

Is it perspective or foreshortening playing tricks on me or is that black dude's head smaller than a clenched fist?

I am sure there is a non refundable application fee of $600.00. . . Not a bad deal, considering you'll recoup your investment in just one week. . .

Ok folks now that' we've gone through the hilarious gut busting comedy (really, I had a good laugh) and the thread like that dead guy Lazarus has been pulled back to the land of the living , it's posting time. Feel free to post what you believe is your best effort for the moment. If you're scared of critiques, you probably may wait till Jesus comes crashing down with Aba made 5 legged wingless unicorn. Your work will not appeal to everyone, no matter how advanced, that's a fact and it is not necessarily a bad thing. So post and develop some thick skin. You will be amazed at the magnitude of growth you will garner in the process.


Kemji, based on my observations, I honestly do not believe people are forcing you to lay off Poser. I believe their point is to make poser the secondary tool and not the other way round, as a beginner. I know about professionals who have been doing amazing works with poser but they ALL have strong background in either Lightwave or Max and have worked for Game Giants like Electronic Arts, Acclaim and Konami. One of these guys now uses mostly Poser for his indie and freelance work and the results do not look like those generic monotonous Poser stuff you see all over the net, I am sure that by now you know why his poser stuff is unique.


I have used poser once in a project in 2006. Initially Poser was not mentioned throughout the negotiations and I thought it was the usual  Modo-XSi-Lightwave affair until the client said he wanted the stuff done in Poser because he intended to manipulate the production files afterward. My initial reaction was "Oh Chit!!!! #$#!!!***!@#! ". . . but the money was damn good . Still not willing to mess with poser, I started to preach the gospel according to the books of pixels and polygons, hoping to convert the client to the Redeemed Church of Lightwave and XSI but I failed, WOEFULLY!!! Well how bad can it be?. . . I accepted the gig, picked up Poser and knocked my self out for two days. On the third day I gave him sample (I created all the assets in Modo and Lightwave).


Learning poser was the most frustrating thing in my entire 3D animation journey, not because it was difficult, but rather it made mockery of almost all the concepts that are obtainable from Lightwave/Max/XSI/Maya/C4D. I got the hang of it through that project and never used Poser again. I will use it again in a project if the money is good, but I am not really praying for that day to come. You can see it will be easier for you to get the hang of Poser when you have figured out even the basic concepts of dedicated 3D apps. The other way round, NO, definitely NO. Better to crunch the tough numbers earlier and pounce on the less stressful ones later.  If you're scared of modeling, you don't have to be a modeler, you can  focus on textures and animation. You can even bring your poser models into XSI/Lightwave/Max/Maya?C4d and reduce those gazillion polygons.


In the end, it's your call. You can use the app you like but if that app is Poser, don't use it with the notion that it will help you understand the basic concepts of Lightwave/Max/Maya/XSI/C4D because that is not gonna happen. Therefore, if you're EVER looking forward to using ANY of the ''5 Boyz"   You better drop Poser like it is hot,  ASAP . Once you're done one of the "5 Boyz" Poser will be a piece of cake. Sure it will be frustrating during the first days but you'll get the hang of it. It's a good tool if used properly but IMHO, it shouldn't be the primary tool of any serious 3D artist.


Man, I hate long posts but sometimes you gotta bite the fragg'n bullet. . .

Don't wanna put my number out there, man. Send me an e-mail and I will drop the number.

rotflol !!!

You just listed  my production pipeline  (Though After Effects, Premiere, Audition, Realflow and Particles Illusion are missing from your list ). I'll try my best to show you everything I know. It will be pretty easy for me to accomplish considering you have interest in most of the tools I use almost daily. Drop a shipping address in my mailbox, I got a couple of training videos for ya. . . don't be afraid, it won't cost ya a dime. . . but if you Fedex me a bag of Suya, walahi talahi. . . I won't reject it. .  .

I am not sure what you mean by a week but it takes a while to get the hang of these things. It's easier though when you have guidance from a tutor. What I will do is give some basic concepts and a few tips and tricks on Modo, Bodypaint, Photoshop, Softimage and Lightwave and then drop some serious training videos in the mix. It will be up to you to practice, practice, practice and ask questions whenever you get stuck. You can ask anytime and I will respond asap. It won't be a daily adventure since I have to deal with a lot of things (Including tutoring some other folks in Naija) but every minute of information dissemination  will be worthwhile. . .

That's all I got for now.

I am tied up for this weekend so something's gotta give from Monday or Tuesday next week.

ROTFLOL!!!

I was trying to be rational and lenient on the Educational statistics thread, little did I know this burukutu, akpeteshi and kai kai drinking Prof is bent on polluting every thread with his/her nonsensical gay campaign drivel.

Typical gay pride Modus Operandi. You just smuggled your gay pride campaign into an Educational statistics thread. There are over 139 million  heterosexual Nigerians living under the oppressive government and all you care about are the insignificant number of homosexuals. Thousands of innocent Nigerians are slaughtered in the North by religious zealots and ethnic bigots for no reason other than their religious and ethnic affiliations, with no interference from the inept government and  all you care about is the fabricated ghastly tales of "Gay Genocide in Nigeria" by opportunists and irresponsible con men aimed at  either uninhibited entrance into the western world or free hard currency from gullible western sympathizers.

Some months ago, a young woman was stripped naked and  beaten to pulp by naval ratings. This incident had no connection to the victim's sexual preference. If you want more information, you can search for it. Before that horrible incident, a commercial motor bike operator was murdered in cold blood in broad daylight by a naval officer and like the young woman's predicament, it was unconnected to the murder victim's sexual orientation. There are thousands of similar cases all over the country.

1. Do you think the some of the illiterate armed robbers masquerading as the Nigerian  police care about your sexual orientation before they plant  bullets in your head for refusing to give them bribe?

2, Do you think the governors/senators/reps etc think about who wants  to have sex with anus or a cow before they divert about 90% of the funds meant for development into their pockets?

3. Do you think the armed robbers care about who wants to open a church for cow wedding and chicken wedding before they camp in your street for 12 hrs and have a field day relieving you of everything, including your soup pot, and sometimes using some women for "kola nut"?

If you are a Nigerian, I believe you should get more info. from people on the ground instead of relying on wikishitia and tabloids, if you are not Nigerian, I am afraid people like you make 419 thrive due to your penchant to swallow every tale hook, line, sinker, fisherman and fishing boat.

While we are on this subject, perhaps I should urge  well meaning Nigerians to strap bombs and blow the chit out of any western country that vehemently rejects polygamy or incarcerates anyone for practicing polygamy, no? Or is the acceptance of homosexuality the only measure of liberalism or civilization?

Eziachi, you sure have time for Becomrrich's infantile nonsensical drivel. Whatever inconsequential point he tries to put across is always lost in his morbid eccentricity. The day the true population census of Nigeria is made available, he will be the first to shove a gun in his mouth and blow his brains out, because in his delirious mind, Igbo is the least populated ethnic group in Nigeria.

ROTFLOL!!! The slowpoke thought it was going to be business "as usual". Now that they've lit a match up his scrawny ass, he wants to sing a different tune. Oh chit. . . LMAO!!!! 

iReport:
It's a good thing we are known for hardwork just that some unscrupulous individuals will specialize in crimes to dent the whole thing very soon. Why did they use igbo music in the background? Is that a Nigerian town or igbo town?

Is it an abomination to use Igbo music in a Nigerian setting? Or is Igbo music not "Nigerian" enough? Perhaps they should have used Franz Schubert's "Trout Quintet", no?

Re branded? I am trying to figure out how that happened, since folks like IBB are not in Kiri Kiri. . .

Tha_Dude, I used to think that Dr Watson was a delirious racist, but when I bump into people that reason like you, I am compelled to swallow my rage and hide in a dark corner, well out of earshot and eyesight.

@ Tha_Dude. . .


Obviously you can take the bushman out of the bush, but. . . can you take the bush out of the bushman? So after your sojourn to "Obamaland" this nonsensical drivel is the best you can do? I can see that most of you goons have been deeply immersed in that putrid pool known as "fear of Domination/annihilation" that exists only in the diseased imagination of your delirious minds.

Plenty comedians dey for NL. . . from eccentric satellite image nut jobs to retrogressive paranoid dim wits. . .

Looks like Aba made Ship with coated Mango stem. . .

Not sulking. . . have no reason to. . . my bad, I forgot to attach a white teeth smiley to the "offensive" post. I guess it's too late now.
