“I created this work by spot welding metal rods to play around a stylized figure while I added metal plates to the form, used sawdust as texture, and gloss paint for the rusty brown metallic feel. Finally i brushed it lightly using a little red and yellow gloss paint for highlights.
Aboki means my friend and it is an Hausa word from the Northern part of Nigeria. In the southern part of Nigeria where i come from, it is a term used for any hardworking person who comes from the Northern part of the country.
We always need them for our daily needs and they are a part of our life, of note is the fact that they setup suya spots at night in places where there is high pedestrian traffic. The suya is brownish in color – reason for the finished work being textured and painted deep brown to look like suya. This work has metal lines shaped in the form of cowries (ancient currency used as a medium of exchange in Africa) to connote the importance of money and the reason for this kind of job been taking up by them. The truck itself has burnt inscriptions of different things I am always in contact with everyday.
Whenever the northerners leave the north for the south, they come to actualize their dreams of making money, while they go back home to invest.”

Natural Nigerian™ Premium Mango Butter
Body Care, Face Care, Hair, Health & Beauty, Natural Products, SkincareNatural Nigerian™ Premium Mango Butter
It is perfect for the hair, face and skin and the smell is irresistible, though, not exactly like the mango fruit as it is extracted from the kernel. A touch of this non-greasy butter is unbelievably soft, smooth and readily absorbed on the skin or hair.

Books, Books & Games, Politics & DevelopmentRussian Roulette: The Inside Story of Putin’s War on America and the Election of Donald Trump [Paperback] Michael Isikoff, David Corn
Seller: GrammyBooksRUSSIAN ROULETTE is a story of political skullduggery unprecedented in American history. It weaves together tales of international intrigue, cyber espionage, and superpower rivalry. After U.S.-Russia relations soured, as Vladimir Putin moved to reassert Russian strength on the global stage, Moscow trained its best hackers and trolls on U.S. political targets and exploited WikiLeaks to disseminate information that could affect the 2016 election.The Russians were wildly successful and the great break-in of 2016 was no “third-rate burglary.” It was far more sophisticated and sinister — a brazen act of political espionage designed to interfere with American democracy. At the end of the day, Trump, the candidate who pursued business deals in Russia, won. And millions of Americans were left wondering, what the hell happened? This story of high-tech spying and multiple political feuds is told against the backdrop of Trump’s strange relationship with Putin and the curious ties between members of his inner circle — including Paul Manafort and Michael Flynn — and Russia.RUSSIAN ROULETTE chronicles and explores this bizarre scandal, explains the stakes, and answers one of the biggest questions in American politics: How and why did a foreign government infiltrate the country’s political process and gain influence in Washington?
