Experiencing Interruptions?

Greener Pastures

Deep inside Epe, along the Lagos lagoon, more than 145 villages are tucked away far from the bustling city life. They have been left behind and are now held hostage by the consequences of a race to modernity. Women are giving birth depending on nature only and their children are growing up, waiting for power and education, hoping for the future.

He is also a globetrotter who has travelled around the world during the last decade documenting exotic culture and history.
