As part of its lagos@50 celebrations, the lagos state government commissioned paintings under the Falomo bridge in ikoyi. This was done by the famous painter, Polly Alakija.

What most people dont know is that the boats she hung underneath the bridge were painted by students from different schools across lagos. These are:

1)Akande Dahunsi memorial school
2)New hall school lekki
3)lagos state model college badore
4)Doregos academy

The artist just announced on her instagram page that these boats have now been moved to the River Thames in london as part of a lagos to london showcase. Congrats to the talented students.

Pictures below:

If ur currently in london, why not swing by the millenium bridge and take some pictures.

The earlier we embrace our originality, the better for us.

These are creative and productive youths engaging their gifts and intellectual talents to broaden their effective abilities and mental prowess.
Not insultive touts, pigs & idiots jumping from one social media to another crying no jobs, food but full of destructive un-beneficial self pride, mental decadence, youthful ability squandering, visionless self orientation with disoriented tribalistic and political views.

Nice! Let's continue to appreciate our rich cultural heritage.

I've never doubted the immense human potentials we've got in this country. Our problem is just ourselves and the acceptance of being divided by "these politicians" across our religion and ethnic lines. Good one to the NIGERIAN STUDENTS

Wehdone! I hope one day I will understand this thing called art especially paintings.

So beautiful. Real talent at its peak

All the way from LAsGIDI...God bless Nigeria, I'd proudly show off my green passport at any part of the world!

I'm Nigerian, nothing changes that fact.
