#News OAP Dotun announces winners

Arts and creativity need to be encouraged and so whenever someone does something to appreciate the talents Nigerians have, we are always quick to support.

So imagine our delight when Dotun, a radio show host and hype man, kicked off a competition encouraging people to submit their best #Do2unLovesArt images.

After a few days and several entries, there was a period of evaluation and the jury finally announced the winning entries today, Tuesday the 31st of January.

Here they are:

Scaezar came fifth. He gets N10000

Creative Agency is the fourth best entry. He gets N20000

Jamie GFX designed this entry which came in 3rd and wins N30000

Here is our personal favourite by Victoria Udoh. She gets N50000

And drumroll for the winning entry by Ayanfe. She just won N90000

All the winners get a cash prize, and all entries get some kind of consolation. But maybe the biggest prize of all is that these talented artistes have their works seen by millions of people!

This competition was proudly supported by artiste, Jaywon, and our blog.

#MondayMotivation "Maybe the problem is your phone"

Yesterday i was at an event and asked my friends to help take pictures of me. First friend tried, i did not like the picture. Then the second friend, and then the third. Still, no picture seemed good enough. Whether it was the light or that it came out blurry, something was always off. Another friend then said, "Well then maybe the issue is with your phone then not the people taking the pictures!"

How true is this for life?
We blame our parents, our country, our family, the government, the noisy neighbours, the lecturer in school, everyone but ourselves, when things go wrong. Sadly, till we do accept the part we played in the way things are for us, we may never heal or move on.

You cannot change everything around you- the light, the focus, or time- but you can change how you see things, and what you do. Before blaming everything and everyone else in sight, fix your own thinking or issues and then look at the problems again. You may find the picture becomes clearer.
