"Eni jale lo b'omo je". Dignity, they say, is the reward of labor. No food for the lazy man. No work, no food. I am better a "Kaya" (truck pusher) than a thief. The struggle continues. "Man no die, man no rotten".

The valiant farmer. "Agbe r'oko b'odun de". The little hut at the farm provides a shelter for relaxation. As he rests, the yam and the "okere" (wild game) are roasting on the wood fire on one side. While the undiluted fresh palm wine convulses in the calabash on the other.

Edition: Life Scenes
The rich are friend's to the rich and the poor to the poor. The rich gets richer and the poor poorer. I have nobody to comfort me body and soul. I paddle my own canoe alone. The trouble for the day is enough for the day. I do not know what tomorrow holds for me without a silver spoon.

Acrylic on Canvas
Coming soon
Edition: Abstract
I have done it, and noone sees me. For noone knows I am wise and intelegent. If nobody sees you, your shadow will appear on the house top.
