Check www.copart.com or www.iaai.com. You may need somebody in the US that will help you coordinate the picking up and shipping to Nigeria. I buy cars in live and online auctions too.
Politics / Re: George Weah Wears Nigerian Suit By Emeka Oparah Of Ethelberts In Abuja (Photos) by Joe88(m): 9:21pm On Mar 06, 2018
The wrinkles on the hand of the suit though. grin . We know what a good suit look like. It doesn't look attractive to me though but we must continue to celebrate the fact that it is made in Nigeria. Maybe one day we might develop our own aesthetic standard.

Romance / Re: A Nairalander Deactivated Because She Couldn't Handle The Truth. by Joe88(m): 9:16pm On Mar 06, 2018
I wish I wouldn't comment but I can't help it. Just a quick question for the OP. Did she (the OP of the original post you are reacting to) ever say that black women are the most beautiful and attractive on earth?. If she said so, then, that's unfortunate. If she didn't say so, then your post is as useless as the Nigerian government. And as for her deleting her Nairaland account, you must be aware that not everybody has the power to handle certain jabs especially on a faceless forum like Nairaland where people feel they can say whatever they like which is usually devoid of common sense, logical reasoning and maturity.
Religion / Re: Daddy Freeze Slams RCCG 50-Day Fasting & Prayer by Joe88(m): 3:42pm On Jan 12, 2018
I am not a fan of Freeze and his peripheral interpretation of the Bible, but he makes so much sense to me with a thought like this. While nations are working to better the lives of their citizens, we are praying to do the same. If only churches could focus on salvation!

Achieving excellence in academics is never a guarantee for financial success, it only shows you were diligent in whatever you did to achieve that academic success. Getting financial success is a different thing entirely.

You should be comparing me with the elders in your family,not everyone on nairaland is an adolescent like you.

If you mean heights of your ignorance,yea,I won't ever get there.
you have a penchant for using abusive words, that only goes a long way to show how immature and lowly you are. Can you ever keep a family with this attitude �! Baba Arugbo! Until you accept that you are immature and ready to step up your game in 2018, no pastor can help you�

Poor you.Take a review of your life and see you have been on the same level for years.
It is a natural thing to grow! Animals grow, plants grow, things evolve! It is only natural for you to grow to the next level. If you remain stagnant, it is your own doing. Attaining extra-ordinary heights requires extra-ordinary zeal and commitment. Don't wait for a prophet to tell you that. Thanks for calling me poor, the heights I have reached at my age you may never get there.

that is the way they conveniently deceive all of you to increase paying salary to the church. Rather than work hard and get rewarded by both God and man, you rely on what pastor s say and then continue to wallow in your own folly till another year when you will be given another prophecy.

Art, Graphics & Video / O.A.U Alumnus Bring Beauty To USA, Makes headline of Major Newspapers! by Joe88(m): 1:09am On Jun 21, 2016
LEMMON, S.D. — Men from Africa have turned the long side of an empty building into a scene that could twist a cowboy’s heart for the days when cattle trailed the prairie under a sky so wide and lovely.

Jonathan Imafidor, 29, and Dotun Popoola, 35, are artists from Nigeria and alumnus of Obafemi Awolowo University, and they traveled thousands of miles to this bustling little town just across the state border to help honor its founding cowboy. That cowboy and town namesake is Ed Lemmon, still famous after all these years for saddle handling more cattle than any man who ever lived, bossing one of the nation’s largest roundups and operating the world’s largest fenced lease of 865,000 acres on the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation, some of it illegally, or so history says.

Lemmon (1857-1945) was dubbed “Boss Cowman” by a biographer. Though he never used the title himself, it stuck hard, and today is what Lemmon calls its annual rodeo celebration and will soon be the name of a square in downtown Lemmon.

The artistic work of Imafidor and Popoola will be the backdrop to the Boss Cowman Square, setting the scene, so to speak. They’ve painted a long horizontal stretch of prairie hills, the grass dotted with wildflowers, the Grand River cutting through, and a pair of cowboys working a string of longhorns that are precise and detailed in the foreground, fading into blue-gray silhouettes off on the horizon.

It is an exquisite piece of work, done with brushes dipped into cans of exterior latex paint donated by the local Northwest Farm and Home Supply hardware store.

The men are schooled artists and sometimes collaborate on outdoor murals in Nigeria, where Imafidor Jonathan is a university art instructor and lecturer (Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife) and Dotun Popoola is curator at the National Gallery of Art (Osogbo Outstation).

This prairie scene is different from what they know and so are the forms of horses and cattle.

“These are not horses and cows from Nigeria. No, no, no. They took us to a branding here so we could study the cattle and the horsemen,” Imafidor says.

Coming from West Africa where the sky burns yellow hot in a blue sky, the men were taken with all the color above their heads, stretching between the horizons of grass in all directions.

“The sky here is so dramatic in the colors. In the evenings, we see the beautiful oranges and pinks,” Popoola said.

The men arrived in Lemmon May 17, guests of local sculptor John Lopez, and started work on the mural the very next day.

“It is so large, we wanted to give it a full attack and spend more time,” Imafidor said.

Popoola came over from Nigeria last summer to study metal welding under Lopez. This year, along with Imafidor, it is mostly about art with a brush. The pair also has been working on a series of paintings and will hold a show in Lopez’s studio 3 miles east of Lemmon on Second Street, starting at noon on Father’s Day.

The show, “Araism & The West” is intended to both bring together and contrast the African tribal culture and the Plains Indians and cowboys. Their works will be on display and for sale.

Lopez, who is known nationally and regionally for his larger-than-life scrap metal sculptures, is the artistic force behind Boss Cowman Square, though others in town are supporting the work and financing the project.

A scrap metal sculpture of Lemmon astride a horse will take center stage in the square, with the mural creating the context for Lemmon’s life and the prairie on which he lived. Lopez brought in large granite rocks, built a pedestal for the sculpture, created an entrance of metal and wood and designed the mural concept.

It will be beautiful when it’s complete and everyone is invited to the unveiling of the Ed Lemmon sculpture after the Boss Cowman Celebration parade on July 9.

Imafidor and Popoola will be at the unveiling for anyone interested in meeting this pair of men who have come so far to bring so much beauty to the community.

“The mural totally exceeds my expectations. The longhorns look they’re coming right out of the wall in that landscape with Black Horse Butte and the cattle trailing up off the river. They’re (Imafidor and Popoola) so tickled to be a part of it,” Lopez said.

I am tired of all these praise-singing. Our government should provide these things without hassle. It is our basic right, where a government fails to do that, we either make their seats too hot or we chase them out! Things shouldn't get to this level where we now have to be singing praises because a governor is doing what he should do with public fund.

There is nothing wrong with what he said, i.e. even if he said it. There is a deeper meaning to that!. Besides why should this generate such an outcry from CAN. It is just like the old joke where a man told his son that he is saving heavily to buy a horse and the son in excitement started describing how he will ride the horse -kitikatakitikatakiti- only for him to receive a resounding slap from the father saying- do you want to kill the horse! We attach too much emotion to issues and it is a big problem for us.
