~Charles Utter Deaton -
Charles Deaton, the American architect best known for designing the Kansas City Chief‘s Arrowhead stadium, was born in Clayton, New Mexico on January 1, 1921. Deaton and his family moved from Clayton when he was young to the Oklahoma plains where they would live in a tent for two years. Even as a young boy Charles excelled in school and studied structural engineering, industrial design and architecture on his own, eventually earning his certification.
Working out of Denver, Colorado, his first major successful design, a futuristic Sculptured House on Genesee Mountain near Denver, was featured in the Woody Allen movie Sleeper. He also created two other similar designed buildings that still stand today. The Colonial Bank building in Englewood, Colorado and the Wyoming National Bank in Casper, Wyoming.
His big break came in 1967 when Kansas City, Missouri was planning to build a new multipurpose arena for its professional baseball and football teams. Deaton caught the ear of Kansas City Chief’s General Manager Jack Steadman and suggested building side-by-side football and baseball stadiums. Each stadium was customized to its needs but the entire complex would share parking facilities and highway infrastructure. Deaton's design for the Chief’s Arrowhead Stadium and Royals Kauffman Stadium, known collectively as the Truman Sports Complex, was used and implemented by Kivett and Myers.
Deaton was also a notable board game designer who received three US Patents for that work. When Deaton was only 19 he applied for his first patent, receiving US Letters Patent 2,299,803 for the board game Gusher in 1942. The board game was a monopoly style game which was sold from 1940 through the early 1960s. Deaton's other two patents also involve games which utilize interactive boards. Receiving patents in 1942 for “Magnetic Minesweeper” and in 1978 for a game called “Country Road.”

Meet Abinoro Akporode Collins 🇳🇬 THE NIGERIA METAL ARTIST

Born in 1984 in the town of Agbarho in Delta State Nigeria. Had his early education in the same town before moving to the School of Art and Design, Auchi Polytechnic Auchi in Edo state Nigeria.

Had his National Diploma (ND) in painting and general art in 2009 and graduated with a higher national diploma (HND) in sculpture in 2012 as the overall best graduating student.

A multidisciplinary artist, he is most known for his sculptures made entirely of cutleries, particularly spoons. He started creating art at the age of six, copying pictures and making sculptures using red sand. Though he was initially discouraged by his father, he persisted in making art, carrying on even without knowledge of or direct influence from anyone.

Despite his father Sherer's belief that artists are less successful in life, he is driven to make his art count and use it as a universal language of communication, documentation, education, and peace

Collins is a prolific painter and sculptor who draws inspiration from his environment, from human to animal figures, often trying to convey human experience and deep soul content in his art. His immediate everyday life is always a subject of his work using it to pass deep messages and issues.

We must understand that there is a massive difference between civilisation and westernisation. Mutanen Arewa are civilised. Very much so. And they have been civilised for millennia. However, by choice, they are not westernised. However, some people are westernised and believe that their westernisation makes them better than others. But does it seem right for you to be proud of borrowed clothes? It is possible to be westernised and not civilised.

By the way, this is Kano, in 1937, featured in Life Magazine. Note that the pedestrian is dressed and wearing shoes in the same manner as Kanawa still dress today. You will also notice multilevel buildings in the background, built in the traditional Kano architecture. Observe the vehicles in the background and the guarded seedlings meant to beautify the landscape.

Finally, be aware that westernisation is what happens when your own local culture is not strong enough to resist western culture.
