HYPOCRISY, NOT LONGER RELIGION
On this day Saturday, 11th of February, 2017 at 02:22am GMT+1. I type this article with keen sleeplessness as a result of my observation towards the essence of a better Living for every offended being out there, especially we of the Third World Countries and in Nigeria as my scope.
This article would be as much as possible concise and clear as crystal without any sense of sentiment but with astute sensitization of our mind for a better morrow. This article is written under mental duress and my mind has found it difficult to cope making me however sleepless for hours.
HYPOCRISY according to Merriam Webster dictionary can be said to be feigning to be what one is not or to believe what one does not : behavior that contradicts what one claims to believe or feel, however way leading one to live a fake life or purpose of existence. On the other hand, RELIGION short defined can be referred to as a belief system. That is, whatever one believes in that seems to be supreme above him or her.
Nigerian Religious homes under have however turned hypocritical via there programmes and services of worship over time perhaps because of the silence of the Regulatory Boards meant to be in duty to checkmate there activities. Hypocritical in the sense of making "noise" during resting hours which they call night vigils both in the Christian way and in the Islamic doctrine.
Neighborhood now no longer find sound sleep due to "their" use of loudspeakers or megaphones during the vigils. Some vigils would last as long as 4 - 5 hours straight which is almost close to having a better sleep of not lesser than 6 hours.
Many Nigerians out there are faced with same challenges in one way or the other even night clubs and ceremonial parties and "celebrations" are not left out of the talk. I decided to pick up my writing accessories to put this down-forward as a disturbed youth who had left for work before 7am and returning home as late as 9pm, tried to find sleep only to be woken up by loudspeakers from a Neighboring religious home. More than two at same interval. Now the question is which of them would lead me to heaven almost immediately this night?
These religious leaders should be reasonably considerate enough to understand that a programme held in d middle of the night already got its totality of attendant. No one would arise at 1am to join because he or she enjoyed the loudness of those speakers.
Recommendations should be considered because there you are "worshipping" your supreme being in the expense of other people of different ideological orientations.
If these disturbed youths or Nigerians find it difficult to discharge their civil duties and obligations at their various places of work in the bid of dozing because of some "silent" night sleep, you will be part of those that would turn up to pages of newspapers and social media to say the civil service has turned nap-zones. Please let's be considerate in tolerating ourselves, let religious home treat the atmosphere at night with love, let Sister Night discharge her duties accordingly under the watch of the Moon.
Let's make Nigeria tolerable lest the best lots ready to discharge wholly take their exit. Development begins as change begins from you and I to build a better people of a greater nation.
GOD BLESS NIGERIA 🇳🇬
GOD BLESS AFRICA 🌍

How to prepare a painting canvas.
Preparing a painting canvas be it for oil painting or acrylic requires some basic steps to achieve a smooth or textured surface depending on your choice of style.
Today, I would love to teach you how to prepare your local canvas.
Firstly, prepared a stretcher of whatsoever size you desire, give it a proper bracing hold to avoid bending or racking afterward
Secondly, cut your clothing material you want to use as your canvas to fit the size of your stretcher with extra one inch wider on all four edges for the purpose of tacking to the stretcher with the use of a gun stapler and stapler pins.
Thirdly, cover the part of the pins with masking tape to make your job neater when and after painting.
Prepared a mixture of Top Bond glue and Emotion paint (white is advisable) of 50% each to compliment a near accurate rate of mixture. Add little water to reduce thickness of mixed "gesso" , prime the stretched clothing material with the prepared gesso using a wide painting brush to cover up all surface.
Sun dry canvas for some time depending on the solar heat temperature, prime surface again for the second time, and sun dry again. Remove every stone particles on the surface when dried to avoid contours while painting.
Now your canvas is ready to paint on. Wish you a beautiful painting experience on your locally produced canvas.
Note: Locally prepared canvases give you opportunity to stretch as large size of canvas as you so like and even spending less compared to buy a ready made canvas. Also it give room for texturization of your canvas.

GUESS WHO! THE ARTIST?
ˈɑːtɪst/
noun
1.
a person who creates paintings or drawings as a profession or hobby.
synonyms:creator, originator, designer,producer, fine artist; More
2.
informal
a person who habitually practises a specified reprehensible activity.
"rip-off artists"
Wikipedia says An artist is a person engaged in one or more of any of a broad spectrum of activities related to creating art, practicing the arts or demonstrating an art. The common usage in both everyday speech and academic discourse is a practitioner in the visual arts only.
An artist is therefore someone who is creatively minded , thinks of possible solutions to whatsoever problem or challenges in his or her society, he or she sees these challenges as characters in a play that seem to contribute to the interest of the play. He also sees challenges as colors on a painting palette that look rough and uncivilized but additively beautifies a topic on the canvas when applied adequately and appropriately.
However, the purpose of an artist in the society is limitless as he or she creates and recreates the societal factors and conditions either to suit his time or for the general public. An artist in other ways can be referred to as the salt of the world due to the function of his or her creativity as a result of his or her discoveries, paintings, drawings, sketching, theories and crafts.
Going down the memory lane, artists have been responsible for records keeping of images and events in the centuries pasts via their sketches of events, timelines, animals, images of icons, logos, sculptures, carvings in caves and so many more.
Many people have considered artists as crazy people as it has been a common philosophy that they tend to see what other people don't or cannot see for hours but for the fact that "we" see it in seconds have made "us" crazy either by look or personality.
An artist is always calm under whatever condition on ground, relaxes for nature to dictate because that's his or her primary source of inspiration, takes his or her time adequately for productivity purpose. Being an artist doesn't mean drawing everything, everybody, every time, everywhere or anything because the artist also has got bills to pay for his art supplies, even the mother-nature must be paid back.
