Meanwhile, it is no news that Nigeria is home to a lot of talented people doing great things in their various works of life.
For Adeoye Hassan, becoming successful at his craft is something he is well on his way to achieving.
The young artist recently reached out to Briefly.co.za to share a stunning pencil portrait he did of top singer, Tiwa Savage and it is simply mind-blowing.
Still on artists, a lady, Uchennaya, also showed that the country is home to amazingly creative artists whose works could rival any on the international scene.
After reading about a lady who creates paintings with discarded ankara fabric and another who makes art using cutleries like spoons and forks, you would think you had seen it all.
In a Twitter post on Friday, November 13, the lady said the paintings she shared are her recent works titled Olile Anya.
Many tweeps applauded her skill and how she blended colours well to achieve her subject on the canvas.
