A young Nigerian artiste with the Twitter handle @OgbeniJaykay has shared the amazing paintwork he made in 2021.

The Nigerian man in a tweet on Saturday, January 9, shared different shots of the cityscape he made that reflects a typical Lagos street.

A tricycle (keke), some danfos, and pedestrians could be seen at a place that looks like a T junction.

When a tweep pointed out that the place is on Lagos island, the Nigerian artiste disagreed by saying the painting is set in Mushin Olosha.
