People have been wowed by the mural painting of a Nigerian man whose art honoured Davido and Laycon - Many said that once the Haven crooner sees it, he would be rewarded with millions of naira - Other tweeps wondered how he was able to pull off such art that looks so real.
A Nigerian artist’s talent has been widely praised online as his works surfaced on Twitter. People were really amazed. 
Identified as Bamaiyi Danladi, the street artist painted popular singer, Davido, on the wall. He painted him as a photo-insignia on a currency. Danladi also drew the picture of BBNaija Lockdown winner, Laycon, the same way he did the A Better Time crooner art. In his art of N1000 note, he made the photos on the currency wear nose masks.

Disney announces 'first-of-its-kind' collaboration with African entertainment company
(CNN)Fed up with non-Africans telling African stories, three friends from Nigeria and Uganda created Kugali Media in 2017 to tell stories out of the continent.

Through the entertainment company, the friends -- Tolu Olowofoyeku, Hamid Ibrahim, and Fikayo Adeola -- created a comic book collection called "Iwaju", set in a futuristic Lagos, Nigeria's capital city.

Now, "Iwaju" -- which roughly translates to "the future" in the Yoruba language spoken in West Africa -- has been picked up as a new TV series by Walt Disney Animation Studios.

Disney announced yesterday that the animated series will premiere on its Disney+ streaming platform in 2022, calling it a "first-of-its-kind collaboration."

While more specific details about the show are not yet available, Disney Animation Studios' Chief Creative Officer, Jennifer Lee, said it will explore themes of "class, innocence and challenging the status quo."

Speaking about Kugali, Lee added "their talents as storytellers blew us away."

This is not the first time Disney has partnered with African entertainment companies. In September, the studio teamed up with Nigeria's FilmOne entertainment to distribute Disney-owned films in English-speaking West Africa.
