,U won a contract to give them a stature of Jesus and u gave them a statue wit the face of EMPEROR POMPEI.so.as a catholic u ar.does that face represent wat u av as face of Jesus.yet the chaplain didnt notice that

Hahaaahaaa Emperor Pompeii indeed! and you are Plinny the Great?

[quote author=correctguy0900 post=53196744][/quote]Well is OK, I don't the religion you are into but if you are actually a Christian, I don't really think these things should worry you. else Christ coming will amount to nothing if after all we still feel inferior to the whites. Ephesians 3:6, John 2:2, Acts 10:34-35. and so many verses in the bible were explicit enough for a Christian to know where he stands. and talking about slavery, history already shows that slavery is a cultural practice that permeates every race, even in our place, before the whites our were already engaged in the trade of humans; someone like King Jaja of Opobo was sold not to whites but to a black man, and thee exists other instances. thanks again anyway let me get to work

Who's that guy hanging on the Crane?

This is the height of carelessness. No safety apparel. What if his hands get weak and he falls off?

They should be very careful. Don't get into bigger problems in a bid to do good.

If you cook a very delicious pot of Egusi soup, one teaspoon of kerosene added to the soup can render the soup useless

Strolls outta thread

Hahaahaa! little wonder they say a picture can speak over a thousand words, and I add It can as well mislead in a thousand ways! that guy was actually one of the crane operators and that pic was taken the moment he was descending from the high pedestal after the mounting, and this happened to be the easiest way down for him as at the moment. let's not be too quick to judge... thanks anyway for your comments, nice rhetorics I must say!

blingxx:
not even close to the biggest.. check Christ the redeemer in Brazil

a little encouragement will not hurt my friend... big things start small!

NatureBoy91:
Oga, dont mis interpret the bible. moreover, that verse is of the cherubs. mind you, any statue to protrate the trinity, is idol. beta repent, u are going against the 2nd commandement.

OK now because it is the Cherubs it is no longer. image? and now it is one of the Trinity? hahaa... ho did you even come to believe in the Trinity, which happens to be one of the core doctrines of the Catholic Church?

doctorgold:
But what is wrong with us as a people. We tend not to value lives. Why is that person in the first picture hanging on to the hyiab?.

Hahaa! he's actually one of the crane operators am sure he trusted his tools!

femi4:
Good question
It was used according to God's instruction and it was never repeated. That was instruction per time

Num 21:8-9

8 Then the LORD told him, “Make a replica of a poisonous snake and attach it to a pole. All who are bitten will live if they simply look at it!”

So Moses made a snake out of bronze and attached it to a pole. Then anyone who was bitten by a snake could look at the bronze snake and be healed!

Exodus 25:18-22. even the ark had an image!

correctguy0900:
So why is the statue not black?
White Jesus they told u abi. Lol

my guy, you see in the art of sculpture, what makes a masterpiece is not necessarily the colour finishing but rather, the strength of forms and the handling of the subject matter by the sculptor. thanks for your comment though.

Abagworo:
The 3rd tallest statue of Jesus in the world and tallest in Africa is at Abajah in Imo State.

then tallest in a Nigerian higher institution, you can as well beat that! *winks*

NatureBoy91:
IDOL

to all you shouting Idols! I have only this answer : Exodus 25:18-22

VeecThorr:
Lel. Why can't Jesus be black? Always a white man with blue eyes.

Veec having read the genealogy of Jesus Christ, you could easily tell there is no way He could have been black, sentiments aside.

InvertedHammer:

You will see some people buying to it soon.

The same set of people that accuse traditionalists of idolatory.

\

hmmm OK Mr Hammer but art is prehistoric and it transcends every religion, race, and culture

Young03:
ur reason for mounting dat

oooh now I get you, well symbolism has always been instrumental to the teachings of the Roman Catholics, so therefore I was contracted to erect the statue at a strategic position in the church (Christ the King catholic chaplaincy) which is situated directly adjacent to the Owerri mosque.

Young03:
for wat?

young I don't get your question

Details of the face!

more pics of the work in progress

The churches have been kind enough to patronise us in the past few years, and grateful we are. Yet our satisfaction will indeed come when Nigerians will become fully aesthetically aware of their living environment and artistically literate! Till then, we ll keep pushing...

I was reading an art history book on western art and I came across the word jamb, surprised, I had to look up the meaning. And this is what I got: pronunciation
(IPA): /dʒæm/
noun (plural jambs)
(architecture) The vertical components that form the sides of a door frame, window frame, or fireplace, or other opening in a wall.
(mining) Any thick mass of rock that prevents miners from following the lode or vein... And so probably, while some people pass through the door, others simply hit the rocks! While some among the later will continue drilling like resilient miners, others quickly throw in the towel. Lol!

The collection of sculptures at St Joseph's Cath. Chaplaincy, IMO State University is not just unprecedented but also breathtaking! The Church has recently turned to a tourist centre lately, witnessing an increasing number of visitors who throng to the church just to take closer view of what seems to be an open air museum even when work is still ongoing. The Chaplain in collaboration with a Nairalander who happens to be a first class degree holder in fine and applied arts is creating a kind of sculpture garden where worshipers and visitors can have an environment with an ambience that facilitates maximum meditation and communion with nature... Please view the pics and show me some love by sharing

Thanks Henry

Today's work! Still on this...

amicable09:
Just negodu
You'll make a great sales person. I'll send you a mail.

Once I get the work done by you, I'll upload and use as my Nairaland dp .

... Lol! Tutored by you. It will be an honour

amicable09:
Oh jibijibijibijibi!!!!
Why me tonight? Lol. Oh! where is my bald head? Papa Ajasco please lend me some .

Ok. I'm done laughing.
Now down to business. You really did exceptionally well with that first attempt. It's brilliant. Like I said before, all the thread needs is a minor tweak in the subject only and it is good to go.

All you need do is to go to the thread, open it, click on the first post which was by you and you'll be able to edit. Using the 'Modify' button, before the emoticons, you'll see the subject. Edit to suit you and market your thread with a catchy topic.

Don't forget to put in brackets 'Pic'. Nairalanders love pictures! They can do anything to watch pictures on a thread. Just do something like this -

SCULPTURES AND PAINTINGS, HOW WILL YOU LIKE TO BE DRAWN? (Pics)

Or...

PICTURES OF A NAIRALANDER'S SCULPTURES

Or...

SEE THIS GRADUATE WHO RECEIVED AN AWARD FOR DRAWING SNAKES (Pics)

This last one is magical

... Thanks ama do just exactly that

amicable09:
I'm about to fall in Love!!!! Somebody HELP!!!!!

Oh my Moses! Guys with this name are always causing my head to spin . You're gonna make me a portrait for real!? I wish you were standing close, I would have hugged you a hundred times out of excitement

I'll take you up on this favorable offer!
Thank you Moses darling, thank you . I can't wait to have it on my desk, portable (like me ) at the same time, conspicuous!

Erm... How much will it cost me

... Captivating you are, am just feeling like someone is HOT APEing me! With all these wits you can never be jobless. Am not exactly comfortable discussing price here, but if my hunch is still as good as the last time, then I would love to believe that the price will not be the issue. I have got willing hands and yours is a heart full of enthusiasm; what more do we need?

Hi Osmoseas,
It's me again from your thread.

There's something I wanted to bring to your notice but didn't want to say it on the thread so here I am in the chatroom calling you out

It's about the title of the thread. That thread has potential but it's not being maximized because of the title, it's not catchy enough and somehow it's intimidating. I'll explain what I mean.

I saw your thread a day before I opened it. On the first day I saw it, I felt like, 'what again? They have come o! Its the first class thingy, another joblander feeling entitled'. But on opening it the second day, Alas! I was wrong! Oh poor me! I would have been the first to comment and share my excitement but I missed it to assumption . Thank God I opened it on the second day and from that singular click, we are now friends

You see, like me, there are many others who feel that way. If you tweak your thread subject a little, you will get a wider audience which will translate to job opportunity for you. Think about it. I can help you brainstorm for another subject for the thread if you don't mind.

Once again, great skill you've got! I admire it.

... Wow! You are awesome intuitive! I must confess since 2010 that I joined nairaland, just yesterday was my first time of trying to make a post. I knew I needed some skills on how to navigate and project myself but since I didn't know much on how to go about it, I just had to stir the waters and hope I ll get enough ripples! And now you are here, i ll say to you like the Ethiopian said to Philip; here is water, what stops me from being baptised! Please take me by the hands, for I am like a baby that washes only his tummy while bathing

amicable09:
Lol. My love for Art and Aesthetics can't be explained neither can it be quantified , sometimes I wish I can live in a museum...I wouldn't mind at all.

It's sad that none of the guys I know in real life have ever drawn me a common butterfly, too much mathematics in their heads *frowns* Please now that I've met you - an online guy who is eager to make my wish come true, how and what need I to do to see me sculpted?

cc. LastMumu come and see what is about to go down here ... You can jealous all you want!

lol! Very funny you... Mathematicians are one interesting bunch of muses too, we all envy the next guy that's got something we ain't got. As for making you a portrait bust, we can actually contrapt you something that can be beautiful and at the same time portable. Something that you can conveniently keep on your table and it will be conspicuous enough to attract attention and yet decent enough to occupy lesser space. To start with, you will mail me your pictures then I ll choose the best suitable for the job.

amicable09:
Beautiful works
I wish I knew you in person. You would have just designed me, as in me - artificially

... Lol! That's some bold wish you know. I like that, it shows you have a receptive disposition towards art and probably aesthetics too. What is even more interesting is that you can make this tiny wish to become a reality; without even having to know me in person yet.

christhavemercy:
Wow.. you are a real MVP. Over-achiever, just keep doing your own thing and what you love.. Leave Government for Government. Did you make that statue? kudos, I must say that you are exceptionally talented and I dont compliment people too often.

... Yes I did, in fact they are thirteen in number. Soon I ll post the complete works. And thanks for the rare compliment.
