Validation:
As a teen, I would always take and post photos and checking the amount of likes and comments on Facebook. As time went by I saw it as being childish. Dumped the app ever since. I'm only active on Whatsapp and Nairaland. It's been months since I uploaded my photos on my status. Thirsty for attention/validation died prematurely. Infact, I muted many of my family and friends that regularly post their photos and videos on Whatsapp status looking for likes and comments.

Can't really say. But if you want to work outside the country. C4d, houdini, zbrush, maya are the standard. Blender is an experimental software for practice. People do amazing stuffs with blender tho.

Your pc is very okay

Thank you very much for these tips. I really do appreciate. Hopefully, we'll cross path in the future.
But I'll keep your moniker in mind for future purpose. Hope you are not planning on quitting nairaland soon sha

Negroid001:
It's okay. Try and create space on your system. 3d softwares use a lot of hdd space and ram.

Ae and c4d can be downloaded for free.

OK. Thanks
So, about getting jobs after being good enough. How do I do that? Just tips.
I need to up my side pay because this regime is biting hard on me

Iyanuoluwa007:
Blender is one of the best.

Yes, it is. But my pc may not be fit enough to handle it. That's my concern

Negroid001:
Currently juggling 3 Nigerian agencies at the same time. Freelancing for all. Collect a lot of side gigs too.

Blender can work on some low end system. It's only rendering that will give you problem. In the interim, try and improve your 3d modeling skills. Modeling is more important than rendering for newbies. Download tutorials and watch. Youtube is your school.

I don't use blender. I use cinema 3d and after effects.

What's the spec of your pc?

My pc spec is 12gb RAM, 512MB VRam, 2ghz processor speed.

Are these apps expensive to purchase? How can I get side gigs in Nigeria? I wanna start here before I go over

Yo! 8 years of experience in the animation industry. Creatives are not sheeps like government workers, bank staffs, civil service, military personnels. We are not told what to wear. Just look presentable.

Hello, my good Sir. Please, just in few words, what kind of animation do you do? You work remotely for a Nigerian or overseas brand? How did your journey start? Please give me a few pointers.
Currently struggling with Blender and my pc is not really a high-end spec. Thanks.

I love earrings a lot but my family background don't tolerate such. I respect them, so I won't pierce my ear.....yet. But I have magnetic studs I wear sometimes.
Nigerians are too judgmental sha. In India it is almost like a tradition for men to pierce their ears and women pierce their nose.
I'm not a religious/judgmental person so I don't condemn it one bit.

That phrase "It is well" or "Nigeria go better one day". I believe it will never get better in Nigeria. Why? The way and manner we have normalized illegal doings in this country is alarming. If you speak against a bad thing, then you are tagged an enemy or bad belle person
They only call it corruption if it doesn't favour them. Almost every position for election was pushed to the tribunal. What does that mean to a country like Nigeria and outsiders? Truth and honesty is a very big deal in this part of the world.

I believe religion is a hoax in Nigeria. We have been praying for years upon years and I'm asking, where are our prayers going to? We have the biggest church building in Africa and smaller ones littered in every street and probably the world. Muslims don't joke with their prayers but maim or kill at every given opportunity. What I do believe is that God has abandoned Nigeria for good.

Right now, I'm in same office with a group of moronic non-entities. Always looking for one excuse or the other to not come to work and the days they do, they never do it well. I have reported to our head a few times and he's not really in the mood to do anything about. How do I deal with it? My Xbox Console eases the stress. 🎮🎮
Sometimes, after I get home from work, I shower, have dinner and take a little stroll with my headphones blasting my favourite jams. Recently became single again, so no woman to share the issue with for now

How I wish they report those guys that sell Electronic music wares along Alaba road. The decibel(bass and loudness) from their giant speakers can give an elderly man heart issues.
Most Nigerians have no respect for other people's mental sanity or peace but when they travel abroad they behave themselves.
There's a mini mosque close to my parents' house. As early as 4am, their, 'Ahuja' PA speaker makes my mother uncomfortable and sleepless. I've threatened to report but she pleaded that I should not. I told her next time she complains about it. I won't listen to her.

Damn

He is even a 'Pastor'. These self-imposed titles in Nigeria(Pastor, Reverend, Alfa, Imam) are the most deceitful.
I witnessed serious rigging in Akwa Ibom for this man.

Truly, I believe the person who said God has nothing to do with Nigeria - All our so-called prayers no dey even pass our front door. What a waste, what a shame.

A distant relation of mine towed same path. He was advised, flogged, locked up, warned and all sort but he didn't change. This is a silly boy who uploads pictures of himself smoking with his gang.
Guess what. He was killed during the election period, this year. He was buried in a cheap wooden coffin. Surprisingly, his Dad didn't even shed a tear. He just felt sorry for the silly boy's life came to an abrupt but predictable end.

FalseProphet1:
I remember having this feeling back then when I used expo to write my theology exam and I wasn't caught. I passed with flying colors and became a prophet.

This I have seen.

Lmao. This man and his underrated jokes though. Such irony should be highly appreciated.
Get well soon, sir.
😂😂😂😂

MrPOTUS:
Same thing I was telling some people on this forum.

Most of the big teams were out of form and Juventus that was chasing them and would have probably caught them was being sanctioned left and right and points deducted.

I know Napoli will struggle this season.

Permit me to say, that's not true. Napoli were in the best form of their lives last season. No club could match them pound for pound. Their coach, Spaletti left and a new handler has taken over, so you don't expect them to replicate same form. There were even a few grumbles that their new coach, Rudy Garcia's tactics isn't as interesting as Spaletti's.

I'm selfish. I always put myself first no matter how much I like the lady.

I don't like going out or meeting people but when I do, I make the most of it. I can spend the whole day on my game console playing Call of Duty or GTA (God bless Microsoft and Sony).
So I'm just plain boring.

I'm a bit of a narcissist but in a good way though.

I'm not a philanthropist, so every penny I give a lady should be accounted for. A few say that I'm stingy but it's my gaddamn money I slaved hard for.

Don't like nose rings. The whole it makes when she takes it off give me the chills

But you see that waist bead eh. Just have like 3-5 on your waist, I'm all good. I got few colors for my woman last year.

I like the sound it makes when I am....and when I grab them for supoort from behind.

Nigerians are funny though; How can you say waist beads are from the marine kingdom?

As a man from the south, this man is in my top two favourite fuji musicians.

"Bobo no go die, unless to ba darugbo. Bobo!" My best line.

Bought ₦950/kg this morning. Even neighbours don't have the courage to come ask you to borrow them your gas these days. Lmao.

Fraternities in USA like Nu Gamma XI, Alpha Pi Alpha, Kappa Delta Rho and the likes raise funds, connection, brotherhood, scholarships for their members and community. People there will give an arm to pledge. They proudly display and advertise their Fraternity.

But in Nigeria, Fraternity means to steal, kill, molest, bully, fight and kill for territory and supremacy.
I don't know whom I offended that I ended up in this mess of a country. It's not my fault I was born here but it is my fault if I die here. Spits

We have so many churches littered everywhere in the country, most Moslem's abandon their duty to observe their daily prayers but I ask myself
"Where are all these corrupt people from?"
An average Nigerian is ready to defraud you at any given opportunity. Especially the Christians. The Moslems are ready to kill and destroy at any given chance but claim to be the religion of peace.

Religion in Nigeria is a hoax

Chei! God when?
See as some people annual salary dey hang for wall. 😔😔

When I buy dis TV eh, it must come with bullet proof screen guard, 180° rotating wall hanger, TV console and 20 years free Netflix login.

I always believed this man will work. I hope he continues with the momentum. If he can guarantee steady power supply, good, accessible road and removal of those louts, Abia will be a force to reckon with.

I still believe hope wish Asiwaju will get Nigeria better but based on these shady records he has, I just hope he is repentant. Even Pablo Escobar was a man loved by the people of Medellin.

I hope Uzodinma, Yahaya Bello are keenly observing and taking notes.

He idolizes my mom a lot, always trying to please her and shower her with gifts. I sometimes see it as simping. Well, with what she has done for the family, I can say it is fair.

He likes to tell people his plans before embarking on them.

He is competitive- When he sees other people or their kids do something, he wants to or wants us to do better.

Other than that, that man is my HERO. I wish I could pay him back with 100 years of extra life.
He is hardworking, smart, loving, caring, driven(always pushing us to strive for more and never settle for less).
We gist like brothers, even do father and son banters.

Streetdreamx:
not all blames or accusation should be centred on the ibos. Ahoadas also bear Igbo names but a Rivers indigene will never admit being an Igbo, crime is everywhere.

You are right. I had a colleague who also bears the name Okpara. First time I tried to greet her with the Igbo dialect, she just smiled and told me she's not igbo but Ekpeye in Rivers state. I was confused for few seconds till she explained it to me. Also told me Burna Boy is from Ahoada.

NOETHNICITY:
The one I experienced yesterday evening is still vexing me.
During my yesterday evening workout, which I do everyday for 1hr, as I walked by a market place, I saw this young boy sweeping and gathering some refuse. The boy looked up at me with a bit of apprehension, this got me concerned and I decided to stand by across the other side of the road to see what his intentions were. The boy, obviously unaware that I was looking at him, started sweeping all the refuse towards the little opening by the side of the drainage meant to drain out water. The boy emptied all the refuse into the drainage, and i suddenly felt sick in my stomach. This is a standard drainage and road built by Ambode’s government to make life easier for the people.

While I was serving as a Corps member, it was raining heavily and I was still at work at my PPA. I saw a young lady trying to empty a sack of rubbish into the canal. I called out from a distance for her to stop it. She was a little confused. I felt she didn't understand me, so I told an acquaintance who is an indigene of that state to help me talk to her. A man started yammering nonsense, asking me, who I was, just a common corper coming to their land to tell her indigenes what to do. I kept quiet and decided to mind my business. After all, I'm just there for 11 months.

Neddstark:
It's good to be Patriotic but your Osimhen isn't as good as Haaland

I beg to differ, sir. I'd agree that Haaland is a better goal poacher but as a CF, Victor is better than Erling.
Once you get a good defender to hold Haaland, he'd disappear totally in a game but not same for Osimhen- That guy is a bully and will always keep defenders on their toes, panicking. Osimhen is more interesting to watch.

Timoleon:
Almost everyday?

This is Messi’s 20th season as a professional. 65 free kicks means an average of 3.25 per season. That’s far from almost everyday. Still a great record compared to other footballers though.
I also have an issue with the exaggeration in the headlines. From the picture provided by the OP, that’s not close to anywhere outrageous. If anything it’s a perfect position. Just in front of the box 18’s arc. I wonder how the likes of Roberto Carlos or Juninho would be hyped when the positions of their free kicks are take into consideration.

Dude, don't take my word as it is right there literally. "Almost everyday" means it is something he does regularly and not a big deal any more. He's equalled David Beckham's record and will surely surpass it. What does that tell you, huh?

Nothing new here. This is something we see almost everyday from the Maestro. He makes football look too easy. Probably that's why people say it is scripted. To me, he is UGOGOAT(Undisputed Greatest of Greatest of All Time)

Until you demote, suspend or dismiss those corrupt and lazy Immigration Officers hoarding passport booklets and making us pay more if we need it urgently.

That crazy goal he scored against Man Utd though. I was cheering for United but jumped off my bed with joy when he scored against Onana. It was truly a mixed feeling.

Nintendo has no rival in the handheld console market.

I remember people said so about a certain Game console company in the 90s before Playstation and Xbox came.
You never can tell, bro.
