Nigeria in 4 Minutes
My most recent trip back Home to Nigeria was everything I wanted it to be. I so desperately needed a break from the states to be surrounded by the love of my family and get away from the grind for a bit.
As always, I want to connect my viewers with parts of the world they've never experienced, and I especially aim to tackle the misconceptions about life in African countries. Yes, there are some people who live in traditional houses or "huts." At the same time, there are also many Nigerians who live much better than many of us in the states, dwelling in solid, two-to-three story houses with one or two house helpers. Yes, it is extremely hot depending on where you are, but believe it or not, it also gets cold in certain parts of the country. Just like most countries, Nigeria encompasses both sides of any spectrum you can think of, and that's exactly what I wanted to capture with this short film.
