Working for @BayoOmoboriowo will show you levels of madness you've never seen. Because why are we building an entire city out of clay to host a festival? I know you can see @dotunpopoo, but if you look inside very well; you will see me! Follow @Carnivalofstrs for updates!

The Executive Governor of Kwara State, AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, paid a special visit to experience the ongoing setup of my 8th Solo Exhibition. It is always a privilege to share this journey with leaders who appreciate creativity. – at Abuja, Nigeria

The double standard in Nigeria is crazy!! The same people who will come to my comment section and shout you are a king will still come online to rant and call my work useless project 🤯🚀🤯
It’s always the most useless and non beneficial projects.

I had an incredible experience speaking at @cop29_azerbaijan during panel sessions with key stakeholders on climate change in Nigeria. During my presentation, I shared my journey of transforming discarded materials into luxury goods valued at billions of Naira.
