prof800 and erad are u stil Mods...

Dont ignore this section for christ sake.

Wonderful creativity abounds here...things that enlighten and yet you guys turn a blind eye.

U guys should make a duty of puting at least one thread from the Arts section per two days. Tonto dike and snakes (very insignificant stuff) appear more on front pages.

Mums are the oullars of nigerian households....

Mess with a mum and see the insides of ur nose.

Dads are strict only when u are younger...once u cross into ur teens, mums take over.

Jakumo:
This write up is a fascinating work of fiction that is totally incorrect, from the standpoint of ballistic reality. Clearly the writer of this factually erroneous description has never owned a real gun in his life, but hopes to impress similarly unenlightened readers by baffling them with bullchit accumulated from playing video games and watching old war movies.

A pump action SHOTGUN unleashes a horrific flesh-mangling blast at point-blank ranges within 20 yards, BUT, those pellets only possess a MAXIMUM lethal range of 50 yards at best. Any target beyond 50 yards that is hit by shotgun pellets has a very good chance of escaping with small pellet wounds, and at ranges beyond 100 yards, shotgun pellets may not even retain sufficient energy to penetrate clothing. As a hunter who has used a pump action shotgun to down quarry ranging from fast-flying birds to sprinting deer, I happen to know what I am talking about, from personal experience over many, many years.

A rifle projectile, on the other hand, is capable of blasting gaping holes in flesh, and shattering bone, all the way out to 1 kilometer downrange, depending on the caliber of the projectile fired. The venerable AK47, chambered with the 7.62x39mm cartridge, is a devastating weapon capable of precision fire out to ranges in the region of 80 yards, beyond which accuracy drops off significantly, unless of course the rifle is fitted with a telescopic sight that improves accuracy, such that 200 yard shots can be attempted by steady-handed shooters. My .308 caliber deer rifle, fitted with a high magnification telescopic sight, will make clean deer kills well out beyond 350 yards, when fired from a stable resting position.

Having thoroughly tested the accuracy of an AK47 rifle at the firing range where many crates of ammo were expended at paper targets, I can lay claim to a very deep familiarity with the AK, going beyond mere shooting, and into the realm of complete disassembly and reassembly, which I perform blindfolded with ease, meaning that my observations about this weapon ALSO derive from EXTENSIVE hands-on experience, and not wild, uninformed speculation.

Before taking to the internet to make outlandish claims about subjects one does not truly understand, it would be prudent to bear in mind that not everyone in the targeted audience is guaranteed to be as profoundly ignorant as the pontificating writer.

His piece might be a fascinating work of ficton but the theme or the message is inbtwn the lines.....the call to arms against the Northern invaders.

papaejima1:
Yea, a pump action is the koko against a Fulani invader.
I even prefer it to the AK47 in home defence.
While the Ak seems invincible in the hands of an attacker due to its automatic and rapid fire feature, its accuracy is just about 100yrds. The pump action in contrast can do a 300-400 yard shot but its accuracy is not what I am interested in, it is its ability to spit up to 9-20 pellets in the general direction of any invader that I find inviting.

When the invaders come, just put yourself in an area where you won't be hit by direct fire, then draw your box of cartidges close, load up, raise you gun point it in the general direction and let loose. If you can get the 8 round semi auto version then bros you are on the gravy train. With one shot you can fell both the invader and several of his cows!

It is popularly believed that the distinctive sound of a pump action being cycled carries an inherent deterrent effect.

Do anyhow, see anyhow!

i like u already.

Your piece is as delicious as the feel of a bullet.

I can picture me taking down cows...not just cows.

I picture me avenging that cut up pregnant woman with the unborn baby.

I would be immensely satisfied if i can just see smoke wiffs trailing the end of my pump action Nigger as bullets cut down cows...not just cows.

Hey, kazuna, there x some similarity btwn this work by Antonio corregio and Your work up there.
But you did not model any clothe

Kazuna Cobalt, most pple will kill to reach your level and yet here you are constantly berating yourself.
ilike the way you are trying to pish your boundaries though. And I like that Gene portrait but the eyes are slightly big or did you intentionaly do that?

Incubus? Kazuna, you knw what that means

Murder She Wrote.....

from now onwards....Nnamdi Kanu Respect.

I don't want to believe the hatred shown here by the IGBOS vs YORUBA goes beyond this forum sha....well I will continue to believe it's a joke though .....
and those BROWN ROOF ain't shit, I mean we gat brown roof everywhere in the north, south, west,east all over Nigeria infact all over Africa so no biggie....or I don't get d rationale behind the expression"brown roof......
am Yoruba and my roommate/bestfriend/brother is Igbo so I don't understand you people.....

Sweet heart, the fun x in the cajoling....

We are like kittens, constantly nipping at each others hinds but that does not mean we aint thick.

Since when does namin a dog become a crime....
My Dog x pregnant....and one of the pups shall be baptized Buhari.

kazuna:
i had finished wt the Maya riggin....time for animation. i ve the draft, there would be no lip sync. Let me test and see what the hype x about with Maya in animation.

i was supposed to start this saturday but The Muses diverted me to Mon petite Belle...hopefully i will finish her before today runs out, and continue with the 'dreary' Maya.

the work might go awry and not resemble as usual but i'd still say..

Genny: Tu es Belle.

its almost three days, Hwerez the final product. Genny's portrait?

supersystems:
Weell said my brother,you've help us summarized and expressed it very thoughfully.May God help our generation.We have all the reasons to get it right and shouldn't look for excuses.

God bless our hussle !!!

Amen.
I have always believed we can do it.

On a serious note, The Modath girl is right and i am Pro Biafran.

reidkrugger:
All diz r valid inputs but lets get real here. If mktrs can only dole out btw 5 to 20M for a film wi abt 2 to 4 known stars n evriothr tin includg wrappin up within a mth then hw do u xpect them to pay 100animators, 30modelers, evri1 down to samuel l jackson n halle berry? Yeah, dats wat i tot, it aint hapnin.
Blockbusters takes alot to happen n sadly our animations r stil crappy. How many animators do u think dis country can boast of in total? Now, how many of them r blockbuster good? U stil hv egos n sentiments to deal wi along d line dat kills creativity.
The only way out is to start on ur own on a small scale n ofcourse u'll need funds maybe upto 20M but once thr, d financiers will start beggin for a piece of d pie. But, u hv to b incredibly good as hell, at least beta dan most of dz tins i'm seein or mayb nickelodeon's level. Dats how disney n warner started in d 1930's. Dats d only way out.
Any1 into animations here shld undrstnd dat d mkt he seeks is majorly outside dz shores. Dats whr d money is.

I think the solution to that is....outsource.
becus there are not enough talents in animation here does not mean that a producer cant import animators. The blender institute in Netherlands has a reservoir of inhouse animators and riggers, they are their mostly as freelancers, a producer could easily wire them down here and they could work and impact requisite skillsets with local 3d guys here on a production set.

same thing with the French institure of animators....they are mostly there for hire. N.b i ve not even mentioned the small small companies scattered around hollywood.

a producer who really wants to do something just needs a good story like Felixchip said and some 5 million dollars and voila an animated feature could be done. Sintel was done with less than 5 milla with freelance animators.

The animators and riggers in that flick werent even more than 8 and were paid less than $8000.

hhehehihihi

felixchip:
which light you want take render the scenes?

You can outsource rendering to Farms in finland. Infact research indicate Finland had the cheapest rendering farms in the world....so Nepa wont be an issue.

julimax:
But you can always have a staring point and improve on it with time. Go back and watch "living in bondage" and see how we've come.

I like this....they should just experiment and produce anythang, even if crap. Your analogy with Livin in Bondage is so apt, The crap one produces today wll be the founding blocks for the Zootopia of tomorrow.

Maybe i should do some crowd funding? Initiat a group for all 3D guys on NL to bound their talents together.

I often liken myself to that guy in Big Hero 6, who hangs out with the science guys, though he knows notin about science. I am interested in 3D films but i cant use 3D softies but that does not mean we shouldnt make money with it.

what happens to hiring outside help sef. these producers should go to China and India and produce animations on the go (a matter of three months will have Chinese animators doing ur stuff)

There x money in this thing!!!

The season’s biggest hit, Finding Dory, while surprise smash The Secret Life of Pets all approached $900 million dollars....That these hits are animated, along with Zootopia’ huge $1bn take in March, indicate that children remain the most reliable demographic when it comes to film, why then is Nollywood not cashing in.

Animation is a huge money spinner and yet no producer wants to venture into it. WHY?

There are talented animators, modellers and riggers in Nigeria even on NL sef, i see them aplenty. why cant they be harnessed?

Lai's mouth in that pic.....funnel.

HurtgenForest:
The northerners are very few on nairaland compared to the number of Igbos & Yorubas here.

Your submissions are right. Southerners prefer to live in the 'Sabon Garis' in the north where you find a huge number of Christians.

The northerners have no value for human life and can start killing southerners for a cartoon done in faraway Denmark.

Personally, I relate with Yorubas like my brothers & sisters and I have no issues with them at all. They come to my house a lot and I welcome them and we dine together.

On nairaland, I am a completely different person.

same thing here.....if my words can evicserate someone it would be on Nl but outside i'd rather eat Snake than call someone Afonja

Then quit....Soludo/Sanusi or anyone else who can discern modern economy should be recalled.

In saner climes, if u feel d pressure is too heavy for ya.....u pack ur bags and head to the village.

just go, the suffering is clocking maddening levels.

Dont be hon, dont be afraid.....there are so many important priorities than marriage.

The economy is far more important....damm it even the threat of global warming is.

why are we even frettong over a pastors words? if his flock feels enthralled to him, its their biz, really.

Waste of priorities.....religion should remain a personal thing and besides its cheating on the ATRs. there x no commission set for the maintainance of shrines.....the greeks temples and cambodia trmples are tourism milks for their respective countries.

Its charmin really....what i used to like about enugu then was the colonial remnants but now its ben eroded by guady Modern buikdings.

Though to the uninitiated and the lesser minds, they would see the brown roofs as under development....is it?

Even the Chinese, the Russians, The estonians all strive to speak English correctly....it is the lingua franca of commerce and most importantly Science, computer science..

Imagine op, that you are a hebrew during Roman Empire and you had basic education, wont you speak latin?

Op, Bashing people for not speaking fluently in their mother tongue should not be an excuse for your failure to communicate properly in English.

Help youself, This is 2016 not pre-colonial oyo empire.

Utilize learning class on youtube. Pick up Thomas Harris' Hannibal and read. Trust me if you complete that book, lookin up every single hard word or phrase using google, before November this year....you would be besting Tonyebarcanista!

Afonja....i dont really understand this term.
I am now been called an Uguarian ( ugu exporter of refuttable acume ) and it forced me to revisit my understanding of the term Afonja....


i used it regularly just for the sound of it and becos it denotes in ma mind the activities of a Cowardly yoruba person......is that the real meaning or are my just using d word becos it sounds deliciously derisive.

SuperS1Panther:
Ipods, Ugandans, Indonesians, Uguarians, Red Mudsters, Relatives of Benjamin Netanyahu,Ijaw millipedes and Propaganda are one and the same.

U forgot Afonjas.....

Empowering women with goatz.....Wifebandry,

This is the kind of Noodle leaders we are cursed with....so ur primary purpose of restructuring then was so that Nigeriaz map wont get K leg on paper?

Stupid....just Negodu enough Stupidty.

here we are, such actions kept us in this hell hole. No tangible policies, A system for the North, by the North and.....


Thank God all these pressure groups, fuelled by a resentment for una stupidity, are givin u guys sleepless nites.

My parents and posibly ur parents have been sayin that since 1960BC and in their liftime Power had nver been 24/7 nor had Nigeria turned to India (not singapore ooo).

My friend leta chart our course....these politicians have had enough of out buttocks fats...time to sock them into sewers.

madenigga:
Its not abt d regime or administration or even Buhari its about the love for your country.
Take it or leave it this is not good news nd it wud affect us all even u?

it will ginger me to believe in restructuring, it means that a revolution is brewing. France experienced this particular kinda scenerio in the 17th century.....the citizenz erupted and charted new courses for themselves.

thats why every bad news in this regime is a gift fron the fates..Accept it as it is.
