Strike



















There's been a strike in Nigeria for the past week because of the removal of Fuel Subsidy.

I think this article is pretty thorough about why this is happening and the general opinion of the people. If you don't want to read the
whole thing I'd advice to at least read the third paragraph.

Latest news is Goodluck Johnathan has announced that the price of fuel has been reduced from 141 to 97 per litre
The original price was 65
$1 = 160

I never in my dreams thought I would ever make a blog post on politics.

Mo's Lips

Acrylic and Spray paint on Canvas. 30 x 40



Me: Mummy, I want to show you a painting I just finished.
Mum: Oh I've seen it, it's the one of Mo right? It looks too much like her. You
got how she does her lips.

I went her house and handed her the painting. Mo's excited. Her sister looked at it.

Mo's Sister: This is nice! Her lips! (she teased)
Mo's Brother: I was about to say the same thing. You got her lips.

Everyone laughed.

Mo's father later noticed the painting.
Mo's father: Look at Mo's lips! (He teased)

Everyone laughed harder.
Mo shook her head.

So apparently I got her lips.

Falomo Shopping Centre




So my uncle gave us(family&friends) a lecture about
the world economy the other day. When we took a lunch break
instead of going to grab some food I opted out to take photos.

I want to take these same pictures but at night.
I think it would look so cool.

General things I learnt from the lecture:

USA's economy aren't doing well, if I recall clearly they are about 100% in deficit but being the largest economy in the world (25% of the worlds wealth)there is confidence America will get through these harsh times.

Eurozone (I think we all know about these ones) are even in deeper ****
Not so optimistic about these countries but we'll see. Things are in the works we just need time to see if it they actually work.

BRIC (Brazil,Russia,India and China) Although they are doing very well they are overheating.

Nigeria has structure but it's really unstable. The economy is okay-ish if that makes any sense. On paper it's alright but in reality... sigh

Watercolour on Paper. 2011.


I surprised my cousin with this painting for her birthday. She had asked me to paint her a while ago. I'm glad she likes it.

I'm pretty excited about how the gif pic turned out.
