11-year-old artist becomes a sensation in Lagos

[@rosemaryfosuaa4360]

I think he should become a sensation in the world, not just in Nigeria. He is so blessed.

[@alexanderfantaye5901]

This kid is unbelievable - what a talent! --respect from Ethiopia my little picaso!

[@PyroNinja713]

Picaso? Don't go insulting the kid, he's actually good. lol

[@FlashGoro]

(to PyroNinja) You obviously haven't learned anything about art. You are trying to say Picasso, and while he may have been a wild and selfish womanizer, he was also unquestionably an enormously gifted, naturally talented, supremely innovative contributor to the history of human art history. Picasso could draw like photographs as a child also - it was what he became that made him truly beyond normal comprehension. Try learning a little about him; I promise you won't continue saying such ignorant things.

[@PyroNinja713]

FlashGoro lol, sorry to insult your hero. I just copied the spelling that Alexander used (even though I had a feeling it was wrong) and you're completely right, I know nothing about the guy. I just don't like any abstract or modern art that literally looks like it could have been done by a child (his most famous style) so I poke fun at him and others like Warhol. If you couldn't tell I'm not that much of an art guy. I like practical sciences and whatnot so the only artist I've got a lot of respect for is Da Vinci.

[@alexanderfantaye5901]

Hey guys, its time to celebrate this beautiful young artist -lets not t divert attentions to some where else.This young boy is a gift to our mama Africa. lets help him get the right recognition he deserve.is't he amazing guys? - lets focus...FOCUS!

[@PyroNinja713]

Dude, it's just the comment section of a KZbin video. It's not like the kid is on here reading through these looking for support and inspiration. We can get as off topic as we want and it's not hurting anybody...

What if the cure for cancer was stuck in that mind of someone who can't afford an education.

[@onyourface207]

that's the thing it could be any cunt out there, this kid was lucky, paintings tent to be easier to be discovered than the formula for cancer.

[@gomnaam]

It's not IF but it's for SURE

[@onyourface207]

'for sure' the cure tore cancer is stuck in the mode of someone who can't afford a education. you know I believe (100%) that the 'cure' is out there, just a thing people in power like...'population control'

[@richardshears6435]

His work will be heading to London and New York and will be earning enough money to take his whole neighborhood out of poverty by the time he is 18

[@jesuschristislord23]

Amen to that.

[@NagaNootch42]

Not only is the artwork next level amazing, but the way he speaks about the meaning behind his work is just as impressive. This kid has the talent and soul of someone who has been doing this for decades.

[@Makawav]

How do you evolve on that? He has honed his skills to a point most people can spend a life time on on, and never get close. What is next?

[@al-khwarizmi769]

Makawav what is left is marketing and sales

[@geleodun1991]

Makawav Profound. What a question!?

[@eyecred4153]

There are plenty of things he can improve on.Values, for eg.Yet, he's got plenty of time to improve.

[@Sweet_Karma]

Makawav Not much to improve on in terms of hyper realism to be honest. He might have to start drawing in different styles and sell his work... He needs a sponsor and a modern studio for his community

[@MindBat]

An old soul from a past life may have incarnated in this young boy's body, is what I belive may have happened. The spirit never dies. Just takes on another life form.

A child should be left to be a child. I am sure when the time come he would make more than enough to make a living. We have too many of them in Nigeria. More than 3 decades ago while in early stage of what we called high school in Nigeria (probably 12 - 13 yr of age) I had a friend who had notebook full of cartoon images with story-line, all created by hand with a pencil and pen. Just too realistic. God know what he does now.
