it's ok to sway but not much because it's not too high.

But like he said,add tank and pump water. It will definitely reduce it

Hello friends,
I am out of the country but have property back home. I don't recall the exact dimensions but it's at least a 100x100 (and a bit more) with a 3 bedroom apartment in it.

I am the eldest son with 2 brothers who are also overseas and our parents are deceased. We do not plan to live in Nigeria for the next 10 years (or whenever Osinbajo becomes president ).

We do not really want to sell (unless we receive a super-lucrative offer).

How can I best manage the property so that it doesn't deteriorate - especially the house. I do not go to Nigeria often.

The property is in the gwagwalada area of Abuja.

I may rent it out but I am a bit scared because I know that tenants in Nigeria can be unreliable and outright wicked. What will be your advice in such a case, I have not done this sort of thing before.

Are there any reputable/respectable agencies that manage properties for absentee landlords?

If there is an existing thread on this topic, kindly point me to it.

Have you ever answer question here before?
The issue is that when question is asked on this thread, non of your type answer because you're not sure if the theory you learn in school is same in practice.

That explains why those with practical experience come forward with answers.

I think you should have a flair for design....in any manner. You should be able to appreciate design and spend moments contemplating any work of art be it film, canvas, auto design etc before you can be creative.

I dont think knowing how to draw is a prerequisite to doing CGi. I dont draw. But having the ability is not bad.

You would need both artistic knowledge (garnered by subscribing to Cgi forums and blogts and youtubes) and your basic anatomy classes (which can easily be gotten from utube) for you to really appreciate character modeling. Whether you are going into stylized or realistic characters, a basic knowledge of anatomy is not bad...no need to know all the latin names of muscles or bones, just an overview of their placements and general forms in relation to the shape of the character.

For references, i have a library of images collected over the years. And i also get from google. I collect a lot of other artists work too. So while prepping for any xter, i go to my collections and scan via them, picking bits here and there. While modeling , i open several of these images in tabs often on a separate laptop. Normally, an artist who can draw would often sketch outlines before working but for peeps like me....refernce images serves as inspiros.

And to make things easier, i created a database of these images with tags. So if i want to do a muscular man say, i fire up my database and type muscular. All images under muscular comes up. Little little stuff like that makes ur life easy
