This is the part that completely turned me off at Joe Kubert (Cel Painting). Though it was nice to get a feel of how it was done (Tracing the drawings, painting on transparent acetate and filming with oxeberry camera) I felt they wasted so much time by focusing on archaic and outdated methods when they should have laid a lot more emphasis on digital ink and paint. Not sure if anybody does cel painting at this age. It was a good experience nevertheless . . . no regrets here.

Nice thread Lafem, keep 'em coming.

Lol. . . Y'know, I think Lauate and Babyosisi will get along pretty well in real life,I mean, really. It's like they take a jab at each other and it doesn't even look like a big deal to me. . . una no go fool me with all these fake cyber WWF o. . . na lie! Babyosisiniquia, Ilaudaquia. . .bwahahahahahaha all of una no well at all. Be rest assured I will be sending both of ya lung transplant bill. You fellas are killing my ribs. . .

You're welcome, my beautiful niece. . .

Oyinbo in Black and white. Anyway sha, you fine pass your 'oyinbo' friend in that pee-sure

Okie Dokie. I guess that settles it.

@Doyin pray tell, what makes you come to that conclusion? Do you also believe that Igbos see the Efik and Ibibios as 'lesser' human beings? I am just curious because a rift between an Igbo man and an Efik man does not translate to a rift between the two ethnic groups, same goes for friendship but on a general scale, based on my experience and the experience of others around me, also based on what I have seen, Mcren's comment holds true, unless as usual (meaning the usual but irrational path that people follow and not a description of your character) you are drawing your conclusion based on an isolated insignificant incident or hearsay.

Lol @Gamine, since when did you become oyinbo?

Self portrait from a mirror.

Hahahah! Yes now, shit na shit, weda na Amerikan or Ijebu Ode shit, e no matter.

God didn't make him gay. We all point fingers and blame anything that moves, instead of finding solution to our problem. Wearing your mother's dress and her shoes has nothing to do with sexual preference, lots of kids did something silly like that and they simply thought it was funny. . . pure entertainment, nothing else. Sad that he had to link his harmless childhood mischief to his sexual preference.

lol. Let the 'shit packers' be. If it pays the bills, why not pack 'shit'? Somebody has to do it. . . (How dem dey take 'pack shit' sef?) At least we won't see any outrageous stuff on CNN Like "Nigerian 'shit packer' packs 1000000000 tons of shit".

I have read them all (Well, almost) and I sometimes see a lot of sentiments creeping in. I value the accounts of the active participants from both sides a lot more, by this I mean the officers 'in the know' (from both sides), the soldiers who saw real combat in the true sense of the word (from both sides) and the civilians who went to hell and came back intact (if you can sift through some of their excessive exaggeration).

I saw the correction and edited. No yawah.

*Edited*

Akan, in the end what happened? You went down the same dump hole with Chichi81.

Afam:
In my opinion there is absolutely no reason why we keep importing a lot of goods into this country from food to electronics.

However, there is so much suspicion that all well meaning efforts are usually destroyed before they even begin to bear fruits.

For Example, the Izuogu Motors saga. He's made a car deal with South Africa, after his shot at Nigerian made car was frustrated by Naija tribalism drama.

@Afam, I often thought about that. Most of those great weapons inventor are scattered in Canada and the USA, still doing what they know best. I was shocked to the bone marrows when one of them showed me his surveillance device. It was a very tiny device that captures movement (activated by movement) video and audio data with a more than 150 GB storage space. The video was as crispy and clear as HD in full color. I couldn't keep my jaw open for a few minutes. This stuff was just a tip of the iceberg according to him. I also got the opportunity of testing some his inventions like a two way radio and a projector. . . I always asked my father (Former Biafran officer ) about those guys but he'd no idea what became of them, apart from the only one he knows who'd abandoned his skills because of Naija frustration. I was so happy when I was introduced to one of them by my former boss in New York. . . I am now convinced Biafra would have been like a combination of Japan and the USA of today, but if Nigerians can let go of the past, rid themselves of the disturbing paranoia of some ethnic groups, getb rid of the same ol redundant politicians, turn their backs on religious fanaticism (is it really possible), see each other as Nigerians before Efik, Hausa, Igbo, Isoko, kanuri, Ijaw,Yoruba, Igboid (lol at that name). . . I don't think that USA/Japan combo is far fetched. . . it is attainable even within a short period Sad that these guys are rendering their services to US and Canada (isn't that what we all do anyway)

Gwakwanu nwoke amu ibi a ana akpo Dimka ka oburu ike nsi ya si ebea zuzupuo tupu ewere m okpili dukwopuya agba! Kedu nke bu ebe obuna anyi no osoro anyi n'ike n'ike ka ijiji na awaghari. Amaghi m ma nwantakiri a onwekwere anke bu ogugu isi, mgbe obula ona ezuzughali ka ofeke akuru ntu n'isi.

It is no big deal. There are lots of single Nigerian men in that age . He is neither gay nor impotent. MOST Nigerian men do not like having children out of wedlock. Different strokes for different folks, I am surprised people judge Nigerian men based on what is obtainable from the American society. If your men have babies at will, married or single, that is not exactly what is obtainable beyond your culture.

Chei my pipulu, like Ono said, let's not allow the relative peace we have now deteriorate into another Igbo versus them. Una no like am when we all sit round a table cracking jokes and eating mangala and nkwobi with John Udoye fresh palm wine to wash am down? Me I like am o.

@ Lafem, that's what I have been pointing out but I guess the razzle dazzle of 3D has more influence than I imagined. I am yet to see any present day 3D film that will surpass Lion King in any category (Music and animation. . .etc). Don't get me wrong, I am a big hard core fan of animation, be it claymation, cut out or 3D, but when the chips are down, I will pick a well made hand drawn 2D animation before looking at a full 3D feature. My DVD collection is a huge testimony but again, there are far more 2D animated features. . .

Urhobo people are one of the most detribalized Nigerians in existence. This is not to say that every Urhobo man is a saint, but the vast majority look beyond tribe. I have dealt with many of them and I am still shocked there are people like that in Nigeria. The only person I can entrust with all my secrets here in New York is an Urhobo guy. They are cool just like that, there is even one Urhobo babe I been dey eye like hawk tay tay . I think Denex is Urhobo, I could be wrong though.

dakmanzero:
2d has its uses.

The biggest animated movie this year is not the 3d extravaganza ratatouille, but rather the 2d simpsons movie.

2d isnt out by a longshot. And lionking would probably suck in 3d.

And there are more guaranteed 2D block buster in the pipeline. Lion King would have been atrocious in 3D. I was watching some of the DVD extra features and was totally turned off by all the 3D fiesta, especially the one on the First Disc intro.

Moondust, 2D isn't going anywhere,it is here to stay like the palm of your hands. Lion King is still leading the pack, especially if you consider the ticket price of 1995 ain't the same as that of 2004/2007.
