@lordbanks So, with all the blue and red pants, it did not even show on the front page.

I need to sue this photographer or whoever arranged this pose.

Blue and red pant just waste like that.

At all oh, what about the glaussian blur all over the place?

Thanks for desaturating this though, when I saw the original copy … let’s just say the photographer/designer took the term “life” way too seriously…
Or maybe the editor said “You know, it has to show LIFE, it has to capture the vibrancy of LIFE, you know, make it bold…”

Thanks everyone! :bow:

Re image saturation, please don’t blame the photographer abeg. He posted the original image to his Instagram before the cover page went live. It would be mischievous to say he did it in protest, but :joy:

In all, was honoured to have been thrust into the national spotlight in this way. Best part is my parents might actually now understand what I do a little more than they did on Saturday.

@lordbanks Three Gbosas for you :punch: :punch: :punch:, but one question at the back of the gbosa, were you a coder or you just love tech? because i kinda like the the parenthesis swag, cloning one of the tech swag :grinning:.

Well done @lordbanks I found this very interesting. Another validation for Nigerian Blogsphere especially without the focus on gossip blogs. It is refreshing to see how different blogs are contributing to the conversation in their respective domains.

You know… I scratched my head a bit on that one

IMO, that’s a parenthesis. But why don’t we reach a little further? He just called a function and the only argument passed is his face.
