  • People who were wowed by his work said he should be able to make much money from what he does

A talented Nigerian artist with the Twitter handle @_TulugoEbuka has used his drawing skill to showcase a time in his life that things were rough.

The young man said he made the art in 2019 as a way to document how he was always struggling to make ends meet.

Sharing photos of a boy with a basket carrying cold drinks and ‘pure water’, the man asked people to retweet his work on their timelines so that it can go viral.

On the boy’s palm were different denominations of the Nigerian currency, depicting a stark picture of people who hawk amid traffic.

In the background are two yellow buses showing that the setting of the artwork is Lagos state.
