The girl don't have sense, she could have just frame it and send it to her, there is no way she will pay her less than 50-100k, but her rudeness and entitlement mentality made her lost it all even after framing it

she might have not payed a dime

nick50:
Las Las na her fellow vagina people bill am..na them them..now imagine what the so called artist's boyfriend would have been passing through in her hands..ndi ara!!!

the artist no do anything wrong

Rosaline5000:
Exactly, since it's most likely the art work wont fetch much outside. This should be a big publicity to her works and might even get other celebrities that want her to draw them due to the hype this might bring.
She should have told Blessing to give her anything she likes and Blessing might even give her the 100k in the first place because celebrities dont like falling their hand.

And the artist will gain hype and money but no she place a whole 120k on a local drawing because the celebrity is rich

The celebrity who asked her to have it framed should have asked for the price. It cost money and time to draw and frame it.

She has already labeled the artist poor and her rich. Don jazzy who is 10times richer than her will ask how much the art work cost. Unless the artist says it’s a gift.

socialmediaman:
Really, no point debating when your proposition is that anyone can charge anything they like without considering fair market value and other things like their position in the market etc. That means an architect can design a unique house for any price they like, a website designer can do same etc. Maybe you’re an artist with no business experience?

I can't engage you, if you keep seeing art as fair market value... I am sorry I can't engage you...


You have a lot to learn

ademi87:
they are bother right and wrong at the same time, it depends on how you want to look at it. The lady only shared it on her story and never asked her to buy it, but she saw the value and effort of the girl and decided to buy it, she should have told the artist how much she was willing to pay before asking her to frame it. An artist can sell his or her work for any amount, but the artist on the order side sounded very rude and entitled in her chats so I can't judge anybody.

No artist likes anyone to undervalue his or her artwork.
Most artists have attitudes.

By my own reputation, I will sell that drawing from US$1000, because even my signature on a plain canvas is a collector's item.

tell it to these small boys... Dem think say Art na beans

Dvin:
The artist is very stupid and greedy. If I were the artist, I would ask blessingceo to give me anything from her mind. And any amount she gives me I will appreciate her so much no matter how little.

Some people mumu eeh.

that's how poverty starts

Na anything you like you dey give Facebook ,mtn ,glo

But the artist mumu Sha of all sane people to have drawn a portrait of she picked a woman (very stingy creatures) an entitled woman at that

daddytime:
Sickening, repulsive, and disgusting attitude.

Go chook hand inside her pocket to remove the money na

Why you no draw your papa or mama with your time?

Stupid pikin

You are mean

ariesbull:
if it is a gift then you don't need to ask to be given anything...


The artist has the right to put a price tag on her work please

Ms Blessing didn't ask the "artist" for the artwork in the first place, it was something she did out of love. Putting a price tag is an instant turn off... asking her to just give whatever she deemed fit would have sounded better...IMO

ibinaboonline:
Nawa o. The lady dey her side and you asked her how much she wants to sell her artwork to you and she requested 120k. I don't know, it's business. Yes, the price may be higher than what it's worth but she obviously offered that price because, yes, you can afford it. Why didn't you just dash her the 100k then and call it a day? Or better still, why didn't you just offer her the 100k at the get go instead of asking her how much she wants to sell it?

my grouse is even shaming her for placing value on her work...

Nigerian love to Abuse Any Trend

Back then in 2004, when i use to draw potraits People will always tell me im wasting my time

Now, everybody and their mama are now drawing potraits.
Once something blows up, everybody will leave their job and start saturating the new trends.

Same thing as pure water now POS business

Who told this babe she's rich

Psalmistproject:
Iberibe chairman. Do you know I don't see any thing reasonable in the arts worth millions of dollars that billionaires all over the world are scrambling to purchase.
But however me and you typical hungry African may view it, it's all about value addition.

Let me enlighten your illiteracy a little bit, why is Bitcoin Worth so much? It's simply value. If you don't Gerrit den fogerrit your case is strong.

Between me and you, you're likely to be the 'iberibe chairman', trust me.

Is Bitcoin the same as that amateur portrait? Gettat.

2017 ‘Bush Babies’ by Njideka Akunyili Crosby is known as the most expensive recorded Nigerian Art piece sold. Her mixed media piece sold for $3.4M (N1.2 Billion) at Sotheby’s New York, officially breaking the record as the most expensive Nigerian art piece

abobote:
Very rude girl. The poor have the same mentality, most of them think you are just privileged to be rich and not as a result of hard work. This past Xmas, I was doing a little house renovation in the village, any labourer that I called, will give me x2 of the price, and if I ask why, they will tell me that I'm not in Nigeria and I have the money, so I should allow them to benefit too

That is nsija for you o.
Even if you are in Nigeria, its the same.
I have learnt to use money to make people do my bidding. Very bad but what can one do. As long as you know how to haggle and surprise some people once in a while, they are at your beck and call.

mmadu5:
You are very stupid for this useless comment na ogun go kill you . You expect blessing to pay 120k for one useless portrait. You will die before your time . I promise you

you are as useless as the said blessings

Do you know the amount of time and creativity it takes to materialize such a potrait

Not surprised she is a member of the collect collect gender

Toyin Ojih Odutola’s 2017 painting, "Compound Leaf", sold for $597,336 (N246M) at Sotheby’s New York in 2019 .

ariesbull:
This l is becoming annoying and irritating... What is wrong with these Women....must we talk people Down...if you don't want to pay... That is nice but bringing the chat here is gross...

I respect creativity...

If you decide not to give her money.... Please keep it to yourself


She doesn't understand arts... Some arts can be sold for 100 million... Some people sell portrait so much.... 120k isn't upto $1000 dollars it's just about $180 USD na him people dey make noise....

Big boys dey buy pencil work portrait for over 2 milli... It depends on how much the artist want to sell...

You don't tell her what to sell her work....

She is a decent girl working for living and not using her body and she must be Commended


At least she has visible skills.... We must respect that..


This art work is expensive

Raphael Drawing is the world's most expensive sketch at $48 million | Good Things From Italy - Le Cose Buone d'Italia.

She didn't ask the artist to draw her. She can as well go and sell it in a gallery since it's worth a lot. I'm sure people will buy it.

A smart artist would have put the actress in a difficult position by telling her to paying anything for it. She would have probably got more than 120k.

Kids that don't know the value of arts

Majority of the so called NIgerian self acclaimed celebrities are intellectually challenged.

That's the problem with these entitled, microwave kids, these days.

Their belly is their god and they have zero manners.

The Blessing girl did very well.

slawormiir:
Damnnn niggar

I agree with this baby girl called blessing okoro

Low self esteem, Greed and entitlement mentality destroys poor men

Ahbobi,,
That is how out of the meekness of an in-law decided to give some agberos some cash on his way.. Naso the guys block am o. Sighting his car as a big man's car and that the amount he dropped won't go round, they insisted he drops more, top up the cash for them..e shock am

The artist does not know her value, whatever price you put on tour art, be adamant and stand on it.., but she obviously priced it that high because she's a popular person (I never support exploitation) rather than what she thinks her art is worth.. Foolish move

Fantastic

MS Okoro let me tell you; that girl is very right. please if you can not pay for the item forget it. you don't even have the qualities of the rich. you are so rude yourself, if you tink you are rich so you have everything oya draw yourself. mpama, you are the type of CEO that will owe workers salary for no good reason.

Aunty u can lie, if u planned on giving the artist 100k why then is the sound of 120k annoying u. What Is the difference. Pls go and sit down,u don't have money to spend a beg.

please sir,
help my elder brother he want to leave the country for greener pastures

I concur. And she made the lady spend money on frame and whatnot, only to turn around make her look like a fool. I don't know the celebrity but she's no good.
