asking him that very question in a moment but 1st here is a truly memorable film kings of nigeria and the al-jazeera series. 21st century africa a continent undergoing great change and finally seizing control of its image but it's been a long shot a 100 years i go for dog i feel was a colonial tool going after a while about a lot of the print money. and primary term for the independent happening. in the post-colonial for photographers like my legs keep it shut if you call for it. but elsewhere the narrative was of a koran on manageable content often with 2 ft to just one if. not a new generation if you see a photographer to celebrate the question and represent it continent on the

rocks. and is judge the city i'm a photographer. for the graffiti is only a broad range of issues especially when it comes to my country and you know. from the irish niger delta region one of the most vivid blissful at the good red coats all the good grits was dishes. and although it's a bloody good. flow no wonder the focus of our times but of the scene this level of dummy each is just a credible the level of pollution of. the voters being zimbabweans in the delta it's very complicated the situation on

everyone's confuse everyone is involved. everyone has a responsibility to play in disregards. my responsibility is what i'm doing right now i don't have anything to offer but for the girl who is people who are good and the comment in this book is a circus in it to everyone who cares to see. it

of the city i'll tell you i was a little bit to this is not a very beautiful a meal thing to come and you want to see yourself looking rich good. it's a little to come out in their own greed and dignity so you did all they have to do it's to blend. on through duty. looking up from the roof in about 200 kings because the brotherhood is a group suddenly in 1914 the british managed this vital kingdoms to one country called judea. and the country was about one about 16000000 people some if it's the largest blood missile in the whole world. was like a gold mine in terms of people on court so. this

is connell of course as well the most important one. in the country in the. north. of the country which is one of islamic area and you can see its head tied it to bonn. looking stuff up over. the face and head in a very stylish one of them and it's portrayed. the king invited those over to follow him when he was leaving for the most he was riding in these thieves prone. which is very classic.

very very british. it's very common to see a lot of things british collected in this country you can see the rubble of the king with a picture of the british queen elizabeth but very peculiar of course we call them as by the british and there are some pictures that was sort of by the. way in a can don't was captured you can see that the kings are happy. it's. because. it's not him really wanting to to get something so it's almost they're wanting to photograph him is a new poem that has home to note is going down imagine what it is to depose a king song kings. almost warship it's you know there is

a powerful new like dogs. in the end. the commenting on the street we're not too good at most things that of a point in the past and it contributed to the clinton by phone from a 4 year old paul america.

b. $55.00. how much do you ever look if you look i'm going to sit with us i would. listen thank you thank you so much. yes ok. please come for you there's nothing ok ok. ok well just thank you so much. george i've been very very impressed with your work. your upright to this nation because you are a young man that has decided. with love compassion. to go the length and breadth of this country to showcase the rest of the world where you come from this kingdom

dating back as far as 721 b.c. . being one of the oldest kingdoms in the entire africa our people were here. during the times of crisis. i see as an opportunity the more nikki. is certainly an opportunity to serve my people for example during the west of the crisis. when the niger delta was a very very hot bed i personally went to the creeks i knew that it was a very dangerous thing to do but i will never forget the shock of the niger delta boys that the king of i bore would come to the creeks and try to build some form of harmony. we are all representation of the earth as a whole. we are all like. veins blood vessels

if any part of the world is sick then we as the world are sick. the world is almost 70 percent water and truly the human body is equally 70 percent water so i think in that god tries to show us something. we cannot separate ourselves from each other. to push something in their tolerance on us never been still being us what it is to be. so many where companies are present in their soul and then once in a while will make a mistake on their own it's built into the. sometimes they cannot sometimes it's left. of young men in. the field that's they don't really have any means of survival and this is there for them to break into by applying state

oil refining to make money what they will say it's the will. of god of they don't have the technical ability to know this will come out of this votes. i grew up in disbelief but today we have all these that they deeply new single feature be found you say no single. even of these bits. when i was a small boy. that was nothing like the. after school we used to run to

displease wendy what. india india you know about that the news. for you and your family this beach we are lined up and it's. be done going to fish i mean from community bed now as you can see us said. well. a very old listen to this song look beautiful. picture you want to know what it is and that's a good drive. to appreciate the situation better. when. somebody saw us. and in the calling before that we don't know if. the employee

utes we do called in some. yes who are supposed to be watching the pilot and so being one of us from his company i can send him back. we have so much more with just don't know how to money it's the most that we have a very. 'd good. this is. the biggest

commitment of this off the. good earth love that. i feel it's important that i keep for the cricket in whatever form or if i think of some of the students will stay with. kind of a saturday. or sunday night off or. 12 tours. and a long lasting the meet in india and africa and suck on longest in the home more. time to shine or less mean that i'm too much to. dish an issue.

this was the wonderful throwback to. the issue of identity subjugation i mean. it's not angry it's not aggressive yeah it's still relevant so it's i don't know i think. we have to really take the time to plan this exhibition to plunder the shows that we show it in the best possible way so that we can also engage not just the crowd or the culture of the crowd as a way of we should be able to engage the younger generation of people who really want to get to understand where we're coming from as a nation all of the things we've lost. let me look at the o'neill he said looking very simple and straight in the same room. you are all free and a new identity. you seem them displaced you see in them subjugated you know

we've read about these and i strip books but i have a compilation. because i'm in a dignified manner so presumably also present well. you know the sort of because this is one of my favorite protrudes. a plot to have them that really didn't blow. he which is kind once you see the hunger and long and very and the gun. i really don't wait for the time to sit on the site of the rats are the. kings of nigeria and i'm thrilled to say that for talk of a georgia study is here with us so let's not visible with the monarchs exhibition

because in the film it talked about how you wanted to take the exhibition global you were going to start in lagos what happened how did it go. you know. very different as well but it was wanting to show. the project and just basis you feel it's had the desired effect of of increasing people's understanding i am a political artist so the idea basically lived with it for me it's to critique balance with people from diverse cultural backgrounds and religion in the country would sit inside of us are unified people run on sentence of apart because we've heard that issues quite a lot the current situation in nigeria unfortunately when we see it on the news we're hearing about conflicts. oil but you've always you documented as well is it tough for you as a nigerian to see that picture of the world painted so immense where is it's

reality we have a reported to the. wish country that takes skillful populists and develops a country if only we have leadership that wants to be serious attempts of. the its allies well from. how they're able to keep people united in the irrespective of where. culture about ronald johnny come from tell me about your new project orphans of boko haram i mean that's a powerful title in itself and again unfortunate boko haram is another thing which we hear about a lot with kids and nigeria the book or on phenomenon it's another such story from the nigeria there is this class of people who people don't talk much about stuff actually i couldn't be the victims of book or. yeah but of them

a kid's parents of been killed. in the course of militancy conflicts they have kids who've lost their parents some died as is a bonding of some died while refusing to become members of the koran more things like that for me it's the prince. strong visual awareness that probably will. influence the people in authority to to make a change in the. i think that's my responsibility honestly i really feel they know if you have kids. around in various homes not people taking care of and then i have these images of them in no saying that these kids need to go to school they need attention they just care they love the parents you know you need to be loved

and they need to be cherished. so mine is just this agent who wants some change or something so painful simply just been a pleasure talking to you thank you so much.
