Oga if na you, you fit do pass like that. The artist behavior is overwhelming, which breach of trust sef, no be IG the artist 1st post am? Abi Blessing contact am for the art?

now he is assuming that he knows my character... What is wrong with these folks of nowadays.... Always assuming


Grow up

ADAMUdaCOWBOY:
Did you notice how the weird guys here are pouncing on the artist? A girl was dashed #400,000 by a man in a front page story today and nobody insulted the girl, but this poor lady made a portrait for a paltry #120,000 naira and this low iq actress is whining. If #120,000 is too much to pay, why not politely decline? Why call her out that way? Haba Nigerians? People beg everyday on Twitter with no service to render. My take is this self acclaimed rich actress wanted that picture for free. Notice the way she said she has received such portraits for free before. Very cheap 10 Kobo woman!

una go just dey yan okpata, you didn't read the rest of their chat abi. Mtcheew! I no get strength type this night

A girl did a work and she was told to frame it... And these kittens are insulting the girl

She has the right to value her creativity... You dolt put money on that....


Too much kids here

You should try to understand, "you fit" is not "you will". When you understand that part, then you can point out else where that i assumed your character type

Looking what you already have in your gallery it shows u only wanted to help that artist the portrait is not that real. But if you may still follow your heart ma. Much love

she should have state her price before framing it since she saw it as an opportunity of hitting a one time high. Not after you will now tell Anty, this is your debt. Abi when she posted it, she asked Anty to come and buy it, if she never responded to the art nko

Just 100k+ value to an art you are winning like piglets. People like you go sabi do unacceptable araroro.
Imagine how your fame for dey trend if you gave her a million naira instead just to build value for the art.
Abeg I hate when illiterate wan show say dey can speak grammar!!

"Why The Rich Run From The Poor": The Artist Who Drew Blessing Okoro's Portrait (Photos)



https://www.instagram.com/p/CYjYWZ7NqO2/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

'Let us judge this matter
So a random fan drew me, put it in her story, I saw it and acknowledged it, to support her I said frame it and send me I will pay for it. According to her she framed it and asked me to pay 120kv, added her account no. I felt irritated, I ignored her, she brought it down to 70k Now its funny how she is giving me price for something I willing wanted to buy to reciprocate love back . So I kuku told her to take it to the art gallery and sell it for same price . Funny enough I get art works over 12 as gifts free. Now you see why the rich run from the poor Now you see why people especially celebrities never respond to you , because you always want to rip them off. Change your mind set and stop being a collected, honestly I wanted to dash her 100k. Learn to be a aiver. vou must not always collect.'

I am quite surprised at how people keep condemning the artist. This is artwork! The art lovers know that artworks have no price tag. It takes whatever value you place on it.
We have seen numerous situations where worthless materials are sold for a fortune abroad. It is art!
There's nothing wrong in charging 120k for that from Blessing (supposed celebrity). She wasn't asked to buy it in the first place, it was just shown to her and neither did she train the artist in school. No wrong done here by the Artist at all.
You wanted to dash her 100k (as support) but she brought the price down to 70k yet you couldn't still buy it and had to bring this private affair online. The young people should always be wary of these guys when having anything to do with them.

[quote author=ariesbull post=109254669]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

God bless you. If you mind we can be pen friend. 08060064303 my WhatsApp number.

Nigerians have abused this trend. You people should stop drawing and painting your celebs because you want to cash out. Some of them already have more than 50 portraits. If you think they'll display that thing in their rooms, then you're the most deluded person on earth. Stop wasting your time by following an over saturated copy cat trend. Become creative and create a niche for yourself. The world has moved on. Most interior decors these days rarely even use these portraits.

Na you dey yarn dust. She never intended to pay a dime! Did she make the girl any offer? She didn't and nobody has the right to call the artist an ingrate. She meant to sell her work and was even ready to bring the price down from 100k to 70k. That actress is plain silly!

Wetin dis one dey talk. People pay way more than the said amount.

i missed something which you drew my mind to, She said she will buy, true, where i will still fault the girl is in here presentation, said "i will need part payment, that the money is 120k", they actually had no initial negotiation on the price, bro, if na your money, even if you big pass that amount, you no go just rush bring am send pra. Mind you, the same art you can get for way less, if we'd be honest

MrBrownJay1:
see that failed statement: "that money shouldnt be a probem for you" is why many of these people will always fail!!! just because someone has money, they will expect them to pay exhorbitant price as if money grows on trees. rule of money: no matter how rich you are, never pay more than what something is worth!

only a deluded fool thinks that you should pay 100 for something that is worth 10!

It is her work, art work! We do price bargaining in Nigeria, our aunty, the "rich celeb" should have told her the amount she was willing to pay.
That she wanted to give her 100k is an afterthought.

You have no idea of what you are talking about....
You, my friend have never purchased any art work before. You don't understand how art sales work, all you see is the currency flying about.

Art is like gold or silver, it has no inherent value, it is more or less a fiat. Its value strictly and only depends on what another person is willing to pay for it.

In this case, it is most probable that only blessing okoro is willing to make an offer. Hence, Okoro's offer would be the price of the art work until someone else is willing to pay more, then the price rises....most galleries do bids and auctions in public while at times art piece are being brokered secretly by licensed intermediaries and agents.

Una go just come outside open mouth gbau!!!!


More importantly the artist here was rude and lack the business acumen for her trade....simple!

Imagine drawing or painting up yahaya bello, get an opposition party member to make a public offer to purchase the art work for 5 million naira, you would see the speed at which bello would pay 10 million for that same art piece.

But if you go about his social media channels touting that same art piece, he may gift you 200k and ask you to keep the work in your portfolio (because technically it has no value until another person places an interest on it)

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

And you go live beyond your time? See how you are cursing as if na you wan buy am.

What stopped the rich to mention what she was willing to part with? I think she had like 5k in mind before

SportsHD:
Very irritating entitlement mentality from the artist.

It was her sweat, she put a price tag on it. I don't see entitlement mentality here. All I saw was someone who wanted something she doesn't know its value for free.

everybody wai support blessing okoro is very wrong.. nobody knows the story of that artists with 9ja celebrities..... well as much i know some of them ( actors, actresses, musicians etc) most of them wants it free, weather in d club, hanging , hotels , drawings, charity n co but when u ask to come 4 an event, booom !!!!!!! come see billing..... to be honest, if blesssing wanted to bless or correct the artist, she would hv but to bring it to social media and tag it the rich and the poor, she is a total bitch.. mind her dat monic OYE EZE NA CHINCO
never addressed her as a poor girl.. stay safe

GetMeRight:

what she had in mind we can't tell, me i sha know say for market, e get price wey seller go call on an item wey i know the actual price range, I'll just walk, even if he/she starts calling me for a lower/actual price. Most times they analyse your turn out and feel there's money to throw around. I totally can relate to Blessing

1Sharon:
Lol they're coming at me for saying it's not worth 100k...

What some of them do is download apps from Play Store, press some buttons and voila! "Art" work is ready!

Obviously, it is not worth 100k. The rarity of art is what makes it special and costly.

As for the so called celebrity.... Em madam na we go call you celebrity not be you go crown yourself: meanwhile you should have kept this nonsense to yourself.


When you were claiming self made, mansion here, this that : 120k shouldn't really be a problem for you ... So.... Why whinning?

Theres a difference btw digital art and freehand art... Clearly you have never seen either

No,
No art is rare. Every piece can be replicated as exact as the original not even now that we have CAD and CNC machines. I am definitely sure you have never seen the original monalisa painting or the medusa piece, but you still would appreciate the counter of the one presented on the Internet without spotting knowing the difference.

The price of an art work is dependent on the interest of another person on it. As long as blessing is the only interested party in this piece, trust me it would be as expensive as the minimum money she is ready to pay for it.

backnbeta:
The artist messed up big time! She should have just told her it's a gift from a fan or asked Ms Blessing to give her anything and she would have gained money and respect! Personally, I tend to overpay people who tell me to give them "anything" I can afford for their services

That Overpaying you claim you do, it's actually very rare
Most underpay us if we should say so.

Abeg I hate when illiterate wan show say dey can speak grammar!!

thank God, at least I have someone who share same thought with me, if I were the lady, it will be 120k or nothing, with her rejection and nonsense talk, I will say she just created a history along with the portrait, if I were the artist I will keep it as part of my collection and whenever I take it to art gallery I will also add how she rejected it. I might name it "THE REJECTED PORTRAIT FROM BLESSING OKORO". the funny part of them is when the get into the house of someone who values art, they will be saying wow, it's beautiful as if the know the value of what they are talking about. Yeye, dey smell. she should go and ask what Monalisa original painting sells for today.

This is art. And of course, she has the right to walk away which she did but why bringing their chat for public consumption?
And secondly, they should have talked and agreed about the price before the artist start spending her money on the framing and other stuff based on the instruction of our dear "rich" celeb.
I believe she cheated that artist

you are right and on point.the actress did not think out of the box.
Come to think of it imagine she bought that painting for 1m.in subsequent years do you know what will the worth of that painting
I will buy it for 2million

Her response ended up costing the artist additional money, what did artist gain from her response now?
She told her the price but she made it clear later that she wanted it for free. That's why she was talking about wanted to dash her 100k, lol.
If you truly wanted to pay 100k for something and you're are asked to pay 120k, you shouldn't have problem pricing it down to 100k
