in. africa i couldn't be more proud to be part of the. hello and welcome to rewind. today back to 2013 when filmmaker. was being given a fascinating glimpse of nigeria by one of its most respected photographers ga. ga's lens was focused on subjects ranging from oil pollution in the niger delta to the cultural legacy of nigeria's traditional. if you're curious about what's in his

portfolio these days will be 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 it given what has been a long bought a 100 years ago for dog i feel was a colonial tool going after a while about a lot of the french minister. and primary term for the independent happening. in the post-colonial euphoria or talk of as like my legs the big shot that you call for us. but elsewhere the narrative was of a call wrong on manageable continent often with 2 for just one if. not a new generation if you see a photographer to celebrate to question and represent

a continent on the rise. i misjudge 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 oil rich niger delta region one of the most beautiful blissful at the good red coats all the good grits as does it. all you know it's a bloody good. flow no wonder the focus of our times but of the most seen this level of dummy which is just the 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 photograph who is keeping a record and document in this process a circus in it to everyone who cares to see. a

walk in the bank but deep down in me not for this fight so i decided to resign and take up comedy. that's us like a war for. everyone with against me you know my parents my friends they're like. what is a doing you just a good job on livin in for this. snow to put food on the table i was kicked out for mine i was in a debate in floods of the buncombe then when i was kicked out because i couldn't pay my rent anymore and then moved to a single room apartment and i had to sell everything i just to to finance my for the graphene. but then there was this bonding family me that wanted me to just do something much more creative. mom. i've been there done that for profit must. help me $10.00 or more and

all of that will have to wait where right now my current projects it's not. there's been frequent classism long difference between groups. i realize that a lot of people of lost trust and identity affects was important but we should see cultural us a point of unity instead of seeing it something that should divide us initially. there is this wicked approach this will still look at the monarchy structure in the country because they it will close up to the people but it will. go real martin oh sure all those are also took.

yeah yeah they are. your words we. got off on the morning before you. go to war find out to prepare for war. we do should call our not to get up and drink together. ok i don't read your letter. we want to get you to push you under x. and be a few studies on you know when we look for additional costs i don't mind something that never mind what it is you got to. do with the world you. are also a role for. him i just. want to thank you so much for you know

this warm welcome it makes me feel like i'm just in the rights of the right thank you. for the ministry this is the states i looking them up. for the intell the states with. the past of security who just wanted insights will know the reasons why i do huge went into militant activities namely deal the exploitation of resources for me. from this part of the country. i'm glad as way those seats by do this all seize i seriously disadvantaged in fact to be give me cause by donny blessed for. i was complementary to compete man what d. . what government d. . wants to do we've got to complete what we think we need.

to do you see you. were. talking about it you. know about food that must be about you but not. me i can also see how. that's it. that's it. ok that's fine. let's let's try something else when the one side and the middle 5 i tried to put some teeth behind so as to create a little bit of confidence but then in one of them to stay in front.

of the city i'll tell you it's it was very tense i'm not a very beautiful a meal for him 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 it did all they have to do is to blend. on through duty. looking up from the roof in about 200 kings because the brotherhood is a group suddenly in 914 the british managed this vital kingdoms to one country called judea. and the country was about 160000000 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 is the most important one. in the country and it's in the north and pots of the country which is one of islamic area and you can see its head tied it to bonn. looking stuff there up over. the face and head in a very stylish one after making his portrait. the king invited us 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 that robe 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 king's unhappy. it's. because. it's not him really wanting to think of something. it's almost there wanting to photograph him is a new poem that has to know what is going down imagine what it is to depose a king song kings. almost what it's you know who is the powerful

new it like dogs. in the end. the comment. oh it's true we're not too good at most things that of a point in the past and the contributor in the clinton by phone from a 4 year old paul america.

b. 55. about how much i would look if you look i'm going to sit with us i would. listen thank you thank you so much. yes ok. please if you're coming with us nothing ok if you. want us to 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 nicky. is only 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 book 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. 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 put something in there to rejoin us in the up in still being us what it is to be. so many where companies are present in their soul and there was no way it would make one stick and the other spilled into the. sometimes taken up sometimes it's left. of young men in. the field they don't really have any means of survival and this is the easier for them to break into pipelines 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 just that they deeply new single feature be found you say no single. event of these days. when i was a small boy. that was nothing like the. after school we used to run to

displease wendy what are you down the idea of india india you know about that. for you and your family this beach we are lined up and it's fishing boats and be done going to fish i mean from good community bad now as you can see us. 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. somebody saw orse. i'm going to call him for that we don't know

if. the employee use we do called him so he does contract talks yes who are supposed to be watching the games so being one of us from his community can send him back. we have so much more with just don't know how to my needs this most that we have. a very. good. this is. the biggest

commitment of this off the. good earth love that. i feel it's important i keep for the cricket in whatever form or if i think of some of the schemes it will stay within. my own psyche. or in the mind of. man to force you. to do long lasting the move into africa and suck on longest in the hope of more. time to shine or less media continues to. dish an issue.

this works for that wonderful throwback to. the issue of identity subjugation a man. 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 show so 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 the more 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 the things we've lost. let me look at the o'neill he said looking very simple and straight in the same room you're offering a new identity. you seem them displaced you see in them subjugated you know

we've read about these a nice trip books but i have a compilation. because i'm in a dignified manner so presumably also present well in india you know the sort of the call gee this is one of my favorite protrudes a plot to have them like really didn't blow. he which is kind when you see the hunger and long. very and the gun. i really don't wince for the time. sitting at sight of about our. 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 i. thought very different as well but it was wanting to show. the project just basis do 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 too pretty balanced with people from diverse cultural backgrounds and religion in the country would see them so of us are unified people one of the sedums of part because we've had that issues quite a lot the current situation in nigeria unfortunately when we see it on the news we're hearing about conflicts. but you've always you documented as well is it tough for you as a nigerian to see that picture of the world painted no immense where is it's

reality we have a reported to the. wish country that takes skill for its populace 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 benaud irrespective of where the. culture about ron allegedly 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 with nigeria look around 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 do the victims of book or. yeah

but of them a kid's parents of been killed. in the course of militancy conflicts we 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 to create. strong visual awareness that probably will. influence people in authority to to make a change you know. i think that's my responsibility honestly i really you know if you have kids it's 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 their parents you know you need to be loved

and they need to be cherished. mine is just. want some change or something so deadly george it's been a pleasure talking to. iran diane . lamb.
