I am a working class photographer. I love to document men and women doing their work. I believe that the precondition for equality between all people is the class struggle and education and work for everyone.
Both my father and grandfather died doing the work they love so much. My father was a salesman while my grand father was a soldier.
Most young men in Nigeria die when they are between 30 and 50 years old. Their wife usually lives 20 years longer. These men are usually low-educated and manual laborers. They often die due to accidents related to their hard work. My wish is to honor these brave young men with my images and hope that one day our nation will treat them with a compassionate eyes!
