El cronista de Lagos (Nigeria)

Dice el fotógrafo nigeriano Andrew Esiebo (@andrewesiebo) que cuando entró la conexión de internet a Lagos era muy caro y que apenas podía pagar un minuto pero buscó la forma de contactar con el artista de Minneapolis, Estados Unidos, para pedirle consejos sobre cómo tomar fotos, escanear. Lo interesante es que le mandaron libros para estudiarlos. Desde entonces no deja su equipo y sus imágenes se han publicado en diversos medios del mundo.

Dice que “Lagos es una ciudad de contrastes. Hay barrios marginales y zonas elegantes, congestiones y tranquilities, tensión y calma, esperanzas y desesperanzas. Hay espacios para todos en la ciudad”.

Post Wedding photos of John and Hauna one of the 32,000 Nigerian seeking refugees at the camp in Minawao, northern-East Cameroon. They were planning to get married in Nigeria before the notorious Boko Haram group attacked their village in northeast. As such they had to flee for their lives. Hauna left for Cameroon while Ibrahim stayed behind to complete his school examination in Maiduguri. Ibrahim said “It wasn’t easy for me to be separated with the one I love. But I had to be strong to put my self together because I know the separation was caused by the attacks of Boko Haram. So I had no option. The very first day we met in the camp. I could not resist her. I had to hold her to my chick. Really it was a great moment that day. Heaven was very close to me that day.” And Hauna said I” was worried when he was not here. I was walking lonely and my parent keep asking why I was so sad. But the very saw him in the camp I was very happy. His presence in the camp makes me so jovial.” Their main goal now is to have children although they are aware things might not be easy for them.
