Keisuke Yamada is a self-taught Japanese artist who takes plain bananas and turns them into edible masterpieces. Using only a spoon and toothpicks the talented food artist works against the clock, trying to finish his pieces before the fruit begins to oxidize.

Sculpting bananas is not easy. The fragile texture of the fruit and the fact that you can’t add more material to cover up a mistake like you would with clay makes it a very difficult material to work with. And that’s exactly what makes 26-year-old Keisuke Yamada’s art so special.

It all began little over two ears ago when he peeled a banana and thought it would be interesting to carve something into it. His first creation was a simple smiling face, but he received such a positive reaction from art fans that he felt inspired to pursue the idea further.

Using only a spoon to prime the banana by smoothing its surface and toothpicks for carving its flesh, Keisuke created an entire series of banana sculptures that won him international acclaim after the photos he uploaded to Japanese art site, Pixiv, went viral.

In his interviews with some of the largest sites in the world, Yamada revealed he works as an electrician by day, and becomes an expert banana carver during the night.

He described the artistic process as a race against time, trying to finish his creations in less than 30 minutes after the peeled banana has been exposed to air. Taking too long causes the fruit to turn brown ruining the whole piece. Once he’s finished, he quickly takes a photo after which he eats the banana.

In the video, Emanuel titles her sermon ‘The Gospel From The Stripper’s Pole’, preaches about the ‘Forked tongue’ and how the word of God will restore it.
Reports say she’s getting quite a following already, most of them being men

Since independence Nigeria has been practicing democracy execpt for military intervention, since then our nation has not undergone any meaningful change(thats my own view though)but in my own thinking if Nigeria practices socialism as a system of government provided there is a good leader as the head perhaps nigeria would be transformed.Example of countries dat has one time or the other practiced socialism are russia,china,yugoslavia etc.Countries that still practice it as a system of government are cuba and north korea(both countries are far more developed than nigeria).So do you think socialism is gonna make any meaningful change or nigeriashould just stick to democracy?
