Hello everyone! I hope y'all are enjoying the new week already. Today is a Monday so its time to celebrate another Nigerian that is excelling and flying high the green white green. Today's feature is a British Nigerian who has made a name for himself in Britain art and all around the world. This artist has described himself as "post colonial" hybrid. The self description is reflected in his works. Without further ado.
