Nigeria as a nation, is largely populated by talented and creative minds much like this young man who sketches portraits using made-in-Akwa Ibom pencils.
ZENITHBLOG.com came across some pictures of a talented Nigerian identified as Etuk Unyime, who creates beautifully sketched portraits using pencils.
Unyime who calls himself ‘that pencil boy’, recently got to meet the governor of his state, Governor Udom Emmanuel, when he went to present a sketched photo of him.
According to Unyime, he uses ‘made-in-Akwa Ibom’ pencils for his sketches, as he is a believer in made-in-Nigeria products.

“#thatPencilBoy. Pencil piece of Governor Udom Emmanuel.
In my search for people to connect and favour me, I discovered that I am at the first position to connect and favour myself. When I was a kid, I had this burning passion for creative and challenging things. I remember stealing comic books just to draw the characters. I still remember offering myself in secondary school to be flocked in front of ss3 students who were drawing so I could see what they were doing. I remember being mocked because I drew rubbish. I remember buying pencils upon pencils, watching tutorial videos in lecture room, skipping classes to go and practice how to shade well. I remember getting a job and drawing up to 10 pieces only to select the best one out of it.
