Title: The Woman by the Road Side.

Hello guys, today I did a very quick sketch of a market woman I saw selling on the road why stocked in traffic. She looked so worried and tired this made me wonder what was going through her mind, it was too early for her to start up her day like this so I took up my sketch pad and pencil to see if I could get a good sketch of her while she was lost in thought, the hardship in my country and the cost of goods and services is on the rise almost everyday. This has really affected a lot of citizens and it’s one of the major reasons citizens are protesting in Nigeria 🇳🇬 to end bad governance, but sadly our government haven’t said anything reasonable, fuel prices has gone up in a country that has oil and export oil, our minimum wage is nothing to write home about it can’t even buy a bag of rice 😕 I feel heart broken writing this post, because from the look on her face I could feel her pain. I really hope my country becomes better, because since I was born things keep getting worst, and we are very hard working but our government choose to put us in a bad economic crisis.
