Tear Drops for the African Gaint!
Today makes it 57 years since we gained independence from the Colonial Masters. 1st October 1960 we were supposedly liberated, sadly we are still enslaved to Poverty, Under-development and corruption.
Below are the steps to the Untalented Sketches i made to show how sad i am along with millions of Nigerians in the same state of Despair. Took me about 25 minutes to complete this one:

Thanks for the Encouragement friend.
For me i see no reason why i should celebrate this country, all i do is also weep for the future. lovely artwork... I need to learn how to draw.
wow!
I am super glad you share my thought, church service today was full of prayers for our retrogressing Nation.
Its well... All i pray is for a better country but will the greediness of human ever let it happen?
Let's pray for any legal escape means necessary sweet one.
We are all we have, we will defend our land.... One day we'll shine like the sun
Hopefully, i like your Never Give up Spirit!
