PROTEST AGAINST ECONOMIC HARDSHIP IN IBADAN, NIGERIA

Check first image for the story below... 

Looking at this image at exactly 3:18am today, I decided to zoom in and I saw the details on the skin even more than I saw it while I was editing and I discovered landscape wouldn’t do Justice (the original image was taken in landscape). Then, I decided to re-export the image but this time in portrait so the details can be much more visible. I stared at the man’s eyes for a couple of minute and to be honest, if I were to ask any Nigerian to pose for a picture representing how you’re feeling genuinely, I think this would be the expression on a lot of people’s faces. The country has gotten hotter and we’re all sweating every minute, dollar keep rising at every 8th bar (musicians in the house, am I right?)😅, prices of things keeps following suit and at this point I’ll guess the question a lot of us Nigerians are asking ourselves or even each other is until when really? When are we going to have all we pray for Nigeria? When are we going to see the change we look forward to? 

If you ask me, I think this man’s expression represents a lot of Nigerians presently. 

However, I believe Nigeria will be great again and on that note, God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria! 🇳🇬❤️
