First of all before i dig in allow me to give credit to the Akwa Ibom State Government Nigeria, for adding such a breath taking aesthetic beauty to our city, its a lots of transformation work that is currently been done at one of the remarkable flyovers in the heart of the city, a total transformation adding beauty and serenity to the city's Environ, the project once completed will be a relaxation, hangout spot right under the fly over, with amazing lighten system all over the place, in subsequent #streetart contest i will showcase to you all other wonderful art done here.

Alright so Africa is a continent that is richly vested in upholding her cultures amd traditions in many ways such as Our ways of life, our attire, our Food, music, and language of course every country of the world also do same.

These art depicting an Akwa Ibomite dressed in his full cultural attire seating On a Piece of Drum usually played with the hand in a traditional or cultural setting in any occasion, he symbolises a true African man in a complete attire, the cap on his head read and white is bent perfectly to the left usually worn my age grade is also a very unique symbol of our culture here in Akwa Ibom state Nigeria, every other state in the country also have their unique cultural outfit, As you must know Nigeria is a multi- cultural, multi-ethnic country made up of different tribes and languages, cultures and tradition, the outfit of the mural painting is particular to the efik/ibibio tribe of the people of cross River and Akwa Ibom state both from the south south region of the country

The wrappers tied around the waist is done in a particular pattern then another part of it will be worn around the neck, adorn with some beeds in the hands

But in another mural painting shows Another man in his full regalia but with a mixture of the western ways as you can see his fully adorn in an African Attire but what he's wearing in his foot is a canvas which is not suppose to be, then he wears a Bluetooth headset, this showcases a mixture of the African outfit amd western outfit, this means that as different countries of the earth begin to interact with each other there is bound to be some part of cultures and traditions that is imbibed by each other,

In this two paintings the former showcases an African man in his complete cultural attire before the European arrives in the shores of Africa, while the later showcases an African man also in his full attire but has accepted some aspect of the Western cultures blending it into his own, this shows that on the nearest futures countries of the world will gradually merge into each other creating harmony among different cultures and traditions of these countries
