There were a ton of photographers using the hashtag but what stands out about Nuel’s photography is the dreamy, painting-like quality of his work. Each shot was simple but had so much attention to detail. That’s camera work we will always be here for.

There a lot of people who claim to be special effects artists but only a few of them get it right. From what we can see, Tolani takes things up a notch and knocks it out of the park.

Hey tweeps, my name is Sopulu, from Anambra State. I'm a programmer, graphics designer, animator, game and Web developer.#WeAreNigerianCreatives

We are ending our list with an unconventional type of art that is still finding its foot in Nigeria, programming. Artists like Sopulu bring all of Nigeria, and the world, closer to playing games and using apps created by Nigerians in Nigeria. How cool is that!
