apocalypse: The funny thing is if the boys had succeeded all the cash would have been used up for frivolities in no time. A lot of children these days don't learn how to make money but rather how to spend it , and unwisely that is. God help us

and trust me, for a corper in an alien element, it would take more than just her as a "corper" to pull this through

strangest: You probably missed this part of the write up

" One thing that stood out to the crowd was her willingness to bravely knock on doors to solicit funds, get contractors for the project and actually complete the project."

What has "my daddy is rich" got to do with this

YOu are a moumou. if you know English well you would know that phrase is a figure of speech called METAPHOR. It was a metaphoric statement.

My question indeed. Why did they not interview the donors. afterall arent they part of the project? and besides what went down before all these was done? cos i know its hard to find a goodwill donor these days especially for a project as such as this.

LoL. THIS WONT WORK. its electrically powered. where is the light in the first instance. What do they call it again er...er..erm....BLUE SKY ptoject.

is it now a competition for who imparts lives individually? Projects as enormous as this ought to be jointly carried out. Where is the money coming from? she just makes 19800 a month. these are questions we should be asking these corps members. I would not want to believe its a case of "my daddy is rich" statement... i am happy about the development o.(before illogical nlders start attacking me).

Cherish100: He's truly a great artist. There are people who know how to draw as well. They just need some encouragement and to perfect their art here's a drawing of Justin Beiber by a friend of mine.

Who is a boss?

I think I’ll start of with a line from an album I’m listening to. It’s an album by Ill bliss, something I’m really feeling and he has a line where he says: “If you be boss, you be boss.” So if you’re a boss a boss you’re a boss.
But that is if you are a boss. I think a boss just means that the person is supposed to be the highest authority in terms of competence and performance in a particular place. Or field. Originally, I think the term came from people saying: “I’m my own boss.” Which means you answer to yourself.

What do you need to be boss?

In popular hip hop context, if um, I’m correct I think what people call being a boss is having those things that a boss has, nice crib, good clothes, good money, having people respect you. But if you ask me I think the most important part of being a boss is that you acquire that respect. And that it’s not by virtue of the trappings you have. You must have done certain things or achieved a certain level of integrity, whatever that is in that context, to be a boss.

Ambition versus Talent?

I think they go together, but if I had to choose between one or the other. I’d pick hard work over talent. Because talent is potential. Hard work is kinetic.
There a book I’m reading called Talent Is Overrated. And it just talks about top talents in some very wide areas from marketing to business to boxing to music. So for example, people like Beethoven people make so much noise about, truth is it wasn’t his talent so much as hard work. By the time he was 4 he was taught to play the piano and his father taught him everything he knew. So when he was 12 or 13 he had 7 ,8 years of practice that nobody knew about. It’s really hard work that makes you a star.
Everybody is a singer in the shower. It’s really the hard work that makes your work professional.

The thing about talent however is that it shouldn’t be seen to be hard work. It shouldn’t be obvious. What I mean is the real geniuses don’t show when they’re doing their work. The hard work is being done underground, the result is seen above the ground.

And then people see that and conclude, “Oh he’s talented”. But half of that is hard work.

Who do you need to become?

I think everybody needs to work out his salvation. But some people are nasty and ruthless and cold. And some are nice and still bosses. What you need first of all is to be fearless. You need to be bold and decisive as a boss.
Now decisiveness doesn’t mean 100% correct. It just means a 100% action at some points. You need to be able to make cold calls. When push comes to shove someone needs to make those hard decisions, regardless of the outcome.

A boss should try and be calm as much as possible he should also be ready to flair up at the right time, just to pass a message across. But he cannot be angry all the time. He needs to be level headed and calm.

A boss needs to love to mentor people and teach them. You cant be a boss if you’ve not been able to bring some people up and teach them. You can’t be a boss as far as I’m concerned. A boss is a leader. He sows seeds. He doesn’t just harvest. He builds and invests in people. And if you’re really a good boss, one day your students will be bigger than you. If you really want to be a real boss, you must have taught someone well enough for them to come and surpass you. If you don’t do that, means you didn’t give them the best.

What’s happening at Choc City this year?

Too much. It’s just too much. The greatest challenge is being able to deliver on everything we want to. It’s an exciting time for us as a company. We’re very excited about everything. We’re excited about the competition and everything that’s happening. We’re excited about the losses and the wins. We’re not competing against anyone else. We’re trying to get better every day. We don’t think we’re in the same class with anybody. Our vision is clearly different.

We’re excited that there’ll be a lot coming out from us. We have new albums, fresh singles, brand new artistes. We have a clothing line. We’re also going to be involved in a lot of CSR. Personally I’ve had 2 classes were I’ve talked with people interested in operating in the entertainment field. And also talked with them and gotten ideas.

What’s on your playlist?

You’re a man now.

Where have we heard that before? Well you’re supposed to be one, so going forward, we’ll assume that you are. So maybe someone has had this conversation with you, maybe not. Maybe you just need to be reminded. Let’s talk about money.

1. SAVE, YOU I.DIOT PADAWAN – Your mother made you use a piggy bank as a kid, to try to get you into that habit. You’re all grown now, so goodbye mommy. Not so fast, Skywalker. You need to save. Consider saving as paying yourself a salary. Get a savings account with some decrepit bank (hint: United or Last) make sure you don’t collect a bank card (ATM card to you). Leave a standing instruction with your bank to forward an exact amount from your salary (say: 10%) to that account. Then and only then should you spend the rest.

2. BUDGET. THEN BALL ON THAT BUDGET — In fact, don’t ball at all. Only two reasons to “ball” for now. 1. If and when you meet your personal and financial targets 2. If the name on your birth certificate is spelled B-A-L-L-E-R-I-N-W-A or B-A-L-L-E-R-D-A-Y (No, Bolarinwa and Bolade don’t count. Neither does your Facebook). Live beneath your means, my friend. Don’t spend all you have at once. Draw up the things you need to get/buy/pay for. Allot priorities to them on a scale of 1 to 5. Now rearrange your list according to relevance. Deal with those needs with the money you’ve allotted.

3. HOLD BACK THAT ORG.ASM DELAY GRATIFICATION — In a world like we have today, where every one needs everything now. Holding out, doesn’t seem to be cool any longer. That car you’ve been eyeing? Get it now. Pay for it later (more on this next). No, mi hombre. Don’t do it. You can always get gratified later. Nobody wants to be a one minute man, then why be a one minute spender?

4. OWE NO ONE — OWE NOBODY. This rule is very simple really. But it’s the most difficult. Don’t take that car loan, that overdraft, don’t borrow against next month’s salary. There are exceptions to the don’t owe rule. But we will get to that at some other point on the road. Bottomline, don’t. Just don’t owe.

5. CREATE MULTIPLE STREAMS OF INCOME — I’ll tell you something your employer does not want you to know. You know that rule in relationships? The one who needs the other less, has the most power in any relationship. This rule applies across the board. You need the crumbs (or not) your employer gives you every month. It’s why you kiss ass, romance it even, and take all of that excrement with a smile on your face like you just scarfed down a tub of Ben & Jerry’s. Upset this dynamic, create other streams of income such that work is really just work; something you do to pass the days and because you enjoy it.

6. MAKING MONEY IS A GAME, LEARN THE RULES AND PLAY IT WELL — Some people will tell you that spending money you’ve earned is the best thing in the world. It’s a lie. They are lying to you. It’s the most emotional thing ever. That process… oh that process of a hundred grand become hundred bucks is one of the most emotionally draining experiences in this world. It can bring tears to a man’s eyes. Rumor has it that I’ve made icebergs from those tears, in my day. I’ll tell you what’s beautiful: making money. I’ll tell you what’s even much more beautiful —> Watching the money you’ve made, make more money for you. Oh mahn, it’s an incredibly orgasmic experience. I can assure you, you’ll instantly get hard-ons every time you check your account balance.

Make it rain, young padawan… in your savings account.

Google Diego Fazo and see for yourself
his works are out of this world

Omo its true o. WHo said we need cameras by the way?

Orikinla: [size=18pt]22 years old, Italian artist Diego Fazo's drawings will blow your mind. And HE IS SELF TAUGHT!

The following attachments are charcoal drawings and not photographs.[/size]

Don’t tell me you can tell the image below is a drawing and not a high-definition photograph, because I don’t buy it. In fact people were so skeptical this incredible piece of art was drawn by hand that young Diego Fazo had to put up some photos of the work in progress just to lay doubts to rest. And looking at his-mind-blowing masterpiece, can you really blame people for questioning it’s hand-drawn?

Like other talented artists who started their careers on Deviant Art, Diego is a self-taught pencil master whose technique matured with the passing of the years. He started out as a tattoo artist, and developed a passion for creating photo-realistic drawings. Inspired by the works of Japanese artists from the Edo period, like Katsushika Hokusai, he managed to capture people’s imaginations with his precise lines and oriental drawing techniques.

see this man o. who are you trying to decieve? the first picture is a bit plausible but the second is not at alll. looool. no try am again abeg.lol

Afam4eva: That's the point i was making. There's no way he'll be using that now.

with his current networth, he can afford to give anybody that card. Even your dear Obama. RIch people are dicks and thats what makes them tick. If you like no collect am that one concein you.lol

[quote author=Ejiné]Bros... I got this from your site:

https://www.blackspittle.com/uploads/1/4/4/2/14421910/8904321_orig.jpg

These caricatures, I really don't know what to call sha...

Your "Don Jazzy" looks more like Dr Dre

Your 'Omotola' looks like Kerry Washington

Your "Genevieve" looks more like Grace Jones

and your 'DBanj'? OMG

But hey, atleast the Ruggedman and 9ice caricatures are on point [/quote]Lol. Abeg leave him alone jor. He wan use him skills catch babe and u dey knock job for am. Trust me, if this blackspittle guy had furthered his skills in art especially abroad, he'l be 1,000 times better than he is now or more.. Schools like SCAD, academy of art uni bring out a part of you -you would never think you had. Not even if you had a thousand years to do so yourself. They are good like that. They make you exceptional. I wonder how they do that. But whatsup with the blackspittle moniker. The last I know spittle na saliva wey person throway from mouth. So the black of it na (only God knows) bro u need to change that name. It won't be welcomed by all when you start making headways in your field.

Rubbish country.

Rocktation: Lol. This is just hilarious. What, you think Americans allow these artists to be hallmarked for something they don't actually do? Really? My brother, if they say he uses only charcoal on slate, then by God, he does exactly that!
I don't understand my Naija people oo. Every one us seem to think that we can play detective and nail these artists better than our oyinbo counterparts can.

No, no no. Don't get me wrong. I'm saying that he's so good that it would be hard to differntiate his work from a coloured picture converted to grayscale.

In the words of parody eboue "this country is a joke'. Yes I said it. Let those "my fatherland" loyalist start attacking me..

[quote author=m-ployer]Many people on NL don't read the title before commenting on a thread. It's now confirmed [/quote]When mods won't be using everyday layman henglish nko? What dyu expect? No be everybody sabi the henglish sef..

Rocktation: Great works!
It'd be nice if the critics from this section, show me the "unblurred" pencil lines, now.

Consider his works photographed images converted to black and white with a photo editor. Its perfect!

Kai. Why this guy dey make 'black and white' effect in photoshop look redundant?

hurh *in rick ross grunt voice* LIKE A BOSS.

Plz read carefully and re-bc if u want the best life 4 your generation in
Nigeria, In 1979, Bamanga Tukur was the Governor of the defunct Gongola
State (now Adamawa & Taraba) and 33 years after he is today the Chairman of
the ruling Party, The PDP; Dr. Bello Halliru was commissioner in the Old
Sokoto State (now Sokoto, Kebbi & Zamfara) and 33 years after he is today
Minister of Defence; Major General David Mark (rtd) was the military
governor of Niger State in 1984 and 28 years
after he is today the Senate President; Gov. Murtala Nyako was the governor
of Niger State in 1976 and 36 years after he is today the Governor of
Adamawa State; Ogbonnaya Onu was governor of Abia State in 1992 and 20
years after he is today the National Chairman of ANPP; Gov. David Jonah
Jang was the governor of Benue State in 1985 and 27 years after he is today
the governor of plateau state; and Martins Elechi the Ebonyi State Governor
is over 80 years old! Only in Nigeria is this possible, where the youth of
today have no hope into the future! Where do we go from here?
People Deceive People (PDP), 1985, IBB was the president of Nigeria and our
teachers told us that Buhari was the former Head of state..Our teacher also
called us the leaders of tomorrow..27 years later, IBB and Buhari are still
contesting for President..Its either our teacher lied to us about being the
leaders of tomorrow..Or tomorrow is yet to come.. Who's fooling who?. Or

fight for the unborn. We can't continue like this. Pass it to everyone if u
believe in the NIGERIA DREAM.

I am a good citizen and I believe in NIGERIAN DREAM! How about You?lolZ

now, let the war begin....the chatterbox war.lol

idrisolaide: Well to me i would say why a relationship fail is based on other reason aside pointing out other mistakes.

As an example, am having a date with a girl for 7yrs now, though we both still contemplating on marriage proposals because the both families are widely aware of it. Now i realize the same girl has a hidden relationship that i don't know about and now this is giving me a though time to believe am not been centered. Because at every point i tried to settle thing and make a good reconciliation, something will always struck my mind as i now realize the trust i have for her and her family has been swept off.

So in my situation what do you guys suggest i can do?

A girl that did that to you and you are totally sure she likes you means one of two reasons. either you gave her a reason to have a hidden relationship or she is insecure about herself. If its the latter, you have to move on bro.

men, i would not lie to you. whoever this guy is spoke alot of truth about our system. I really dont care who he is, but what i care about is what he said are all true. There is no disputing that fact. Its so sad that even outsiders see us as dirt and its our onus to either change that perception or still keep embracing whatever is making us be the way we are right now. more pix.
