Gifted swear!!!!!! Like seriously what was he thinking there are a whole lot of cooler things to write. Or maybe he just liked the accrylic letters

Russian speaker said...

Na wa oh how Will you inscribe curse/damnation on your body as a tattoo, when things start going down the hill he will blame it on a curse from the village, mean while he put it on himself.

Whateva it means! The spot is cool..i like...i love tatoos tho,buh i prefer really cool n simple ones,the ones on his arm is a total turnoff 4 me!

Unknown said...

those two write ups are contrasting sha. to me it makes no much sense. Подарочные means 'Gifts' while Проклятие means 'Curse'. so wat does it mean basically?

Anonymous said...

It says "Linda ikeji will you marry me?"

Hi Linda,I live in Russia and my wife is Russian:) I don't think the guy even knows what e tatooed on himself:( firstly,it's grammtically wrong! If it's translated the way it's written, ПОДАРОЧНЫЕ=Gifts/presents, ПРОКЛЯТИЕ=Curses. absolutely no meaning whatsoever(in Russian language anyway).my wify says maybe the tatoo we c is incomplete:) maybe there r more things written on his chest on some other part(s) which is a continuation of the sentence:)

it simply translates to I AM AN IDIOT WHO RESIDES IN NIGERIA AND DECIDED TO HAVE A "COOL" INSCRIPTION ON MY SHOULDER ALTHOUGH I HAVE NO RUSSIAN FRIENDS OR TIES meanwhile i would like to meet a russian with a yoruba tattoo. In one move this guy has just shown his ignorance of current affairs and race-relations.

Tattoo on Russia. As Rascist as Russia is. I dnt buy dis. I hope it says "Free Olaolu Femi 4rm Ukraine"

Anonymous said...

Most of you trying to translate this stuff are dead wrong, what he wrote makes no grammatical sense whatsoever...

Based on the letters used it says 'Gift Damnation'... Which is nonsensical in russian.

ChiChiLuv said...

SMDH @ the inferiority complex that plagues some of my people. With this tattoo, this guy has announced to world how unaware he truly is about world politics and race relations. Like someone said, why couldn't he get a saying in his native tongue? They could have tattoo "sh*t head" on his shoulders for all he knows.

Russians are some of the most RASCIST people you can ever want to meet! I have an Nigeria friend who is dating one guy who truly loves her and his family refuses to meet her for only one reason: she is black. They don't care that she's from a good home, educated, young, intelligent and great to this guy, all they ar concerned about is her race.

I see people with Sanskrit, Chinese, Japanese tattoo and all the people who speak these languages don't like black people. I don't have anything against tattoos but it is something one should think carefully about because it can be forever EVEN with laser procedures to remove them these days, the scar remains.

This is my guess at the meaning of his tattoo: may be he is saying that being gifted can be a curse because with it comes many trials and tribulations. Let's hope he was thinking something similar because I really want to believe he didn't do this on a night he was drunk on Smirnoff!

His a fool. Why not write in Yoruba. Ode. Of all languages Russian. Go to Russia now, there will burn you and your tatoo

Cergai said...

It doesn't really make aloe of sense though. The first means gift while the second word means; Curse, damnation but when you add the exclamation mark (!) to it, it means; damn it! I doubt if he knows what he tattooed in himself.

Anonymous said...

To me, the tats are symbolic, not literal. (THINK: good and evil angels on shoulders.)

D'Prince is a very troubled young man.

If you are rich and unhappy, stop living in the public eye. Throw all your money and effort into helping those less fortunate than you are. Perhaps in seeing others happy, you will feel pride in yourself and your life will regain meaning.

Linda you can check google translate for that

@ anon 09:45, that is a very nasty and very stupid comment to make. Go pour ur frustrations elsewhere mango head.

Angeleyez. said...

It is his body, isn't it? He is only accountable to God. He is an adult and has the carte blanche to do as he sees fit as long as said act is legal. If he chooses to spell "take banana" backwards in Aramaic, how is that our concern? If those words mean "Gift" n "Curse", it obviously means smthing to him, no? Perhaps he sees his fame as both a gift n a curse. Most of us know that fame comes with a trailer load of problems n can overwhelm a person who isn't well grounded.

Disappointing, esp with news of the Nigerian student imprisoned in Ukraine and all the reports of how racist Ukraine/Russia is. I guess he didn't know better, or as a result of inferiority complex.

Femiluv said...

Oh, and in other news: D'Prince is hot!!!

cindy black said...

You are just as racist as they are!What is wrong with inscribing russian words on his body??
The word means"Damn gifted"

Looks nice graphically cos of the alphabets. However, the issue is that we always seem to prefer someone else's culture, language etc to ours especially if they are white. Would he write this in Efik or Urhobo or Yoruba or Ibo or Hausa or any of the so many other languages in Naija? Probably not.

Anonymous said...

At least now he knows his tattoo means he is gifted and cursed. No label could have been worse. I have a laser docs phone no. But you will need a couple of visits and the removal aint permanent. Next time, write what you want inscribed on paper, ensure you got it right by sharing with many people who originally speak and read in that language and then proceed to the tattoo palor. Illiteracy and ignorance na serious disease.

WHY are you abusing the man? He lives in Russia, how many Nigerian/African women fill up the part of Russia he lives? And even if he met some there, what if he wasn't compatible with any of them? Na wa o! You just dey abuse person over dem personal choice over whom they want to marry without considering the extenuating circumstances surrounding the matter. Na by force that Nigerians/Africans MUST marry from their race? Also, maybe the guy wanted to have papers so he can make a life for himself in Russia since Nigeria apparently has nothing to offer its citizens. Please, before you shoot your mouth off about other people's lives, check yourself jare because with that statement of yours, you come off as a bitter woman who has spent all your dating life being jilted by one man or another...or did a Russian woman take your man away from you? Relax abeg!

You display an amazing capacity for ignorance, you really should be in the Guinness Book of Records! Oya, clap for yourself. Abi, on Sunday you will go to church and call on God to help you meanwhile your ungodly opinion is that two of God's children of two different race cannot get together and if they do, it's because one is a morally deficient person. If you were left by a black woman for a white man, have you considered that you had NOTHING to offer that woman? You sound dense, my friend which is probably why no woman wants you. Again I say, clap for yourself o you don try biko!
