It's my Birthday😁
I'm grateful for three decades of God’s faithfulness and that living breathing visible work of God is grateful.

You are my King.
Yahweh Invisible, but Your works are visible What You do is tangible, no one can doubt You.)

Appreciation Post!

Today marks two years and eight months of working in the presidential villa as the official photographer to the First Lady of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. It's been an incredible journey.
I'd like to thank my principal, Mrs. Aisha Buhari for the opportunity to serve as her photographer for the set time. It was tasking, demanding, and interesting. A rare privilege for me that I do not take for granted.
She is a goal-getter and a First Lady with many caps. She assumed the position of President of Africa First Ladies Peace Mission in November 2021 which made me document her in that office as well and she did the most by building a secretariat during her tenure.

It's a privilege to serve the first family and most importantly the Mother of the Nation.

I wish Baba & My Madam as they hand over the government to the incoming President-elect & Vice President elect all the best in their future endeavors.

Cheers 🥂 by @tolaish
