See Adekunle Gold’s new portraits by TY Bello

According to TY Bello, the photoshoot was
done in advance for a coronation he is
having soon and she titled ‘a king in the
making.’
Read TY Bello’s inspiration for the shoot
below.

ADEKUNLE GOLD : BECOMING KING . I’m
looking forward to attending his coronation .. I
got to hear unreleased music while I made his
portraits . …Nothing quite like his sound ..
He’s the real deal…!He’s about to be crowned
and I’m certain. Im a song writer myself ..so I
can tell… Nigeria and indeed the world are
about to discover their new favorite genius …
One day I’ll be boasting about how I heard
those songs before they came out .. The idea
for @adekunlegold ‘s portraits came two days
before he called me . I had just read about
Bezaleel on Exodus 31 .. And how God gave
him creative genius to work with Gold , silver
and bronze . I had made some art images that
emotionally said everything I wanted but just
never felt quite right … Bezaleel’s work spoke
to me .. My work was missing some metal .So
I began to study the use of metal in sculpture
and design ….how to bring that into my work I
was trying to figure out which of my artist
friends I’d like to collaborate with when
Adekunle Gold’s messages started flooding in
. .. He sent me photographs of designs and
concepts with gold elements and asked me
what I thought … I just smiled .. God had
gifted me beautiful work and had taken time to
prepare me . I tried to stay calm as I started
going on about how I was tying to decode
Exodus 31 and bring it into my work .. And
roughly described some ideas that I had for
his album art .. I didn’t need to say much
more .. He was completely in . I collaborated
with Sobukola Oluwanisola , an artist friend of
mine and we decided on using recycled metal
built into crowns and deconstructed as pieces
for the portraits . So here are our portraits
Rustic and futuristic .. Our Adire clad .. King
explorer ..Ready to launch !!

Buhari is a biased president, evidences abound against Fasola, Amaechi, others – Lagos PDP

The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Lagos State has rubbished claim by President Muhammadu Buhari that there is no evidence of corruption against his appointees. Lagos PDP, in a statement on Sunday by its publicity secretary, Taofiq Gani, accused Buhari of shielding his “corrupt” ministers because of their financial contributions to his election. Calling names of those who have serious allegations, the statement noted that, “These are in the public glare and we are surprised that the president exhibits volte-face on these matters. “For instance, Fashola has many corruption petitions against him during and after his tenure as governor of Lagos State. “Groups such as True Face of Lagos, CACOL and individuals have their petitions unattended to by the authorities,” he said. “The reported outcome of enquiry, which indicted Rotimi Amaechi, of unaccounted sum of N3 trillion, when he was governor of Rivers State, is lying unattended to by the authorities and Chris Ngi...
