The three year old will show case a collection of street
photographs he has captured in his brief life time. Onafujiri Remet, will on
June 8, showcase a collection of his photographs at the Terra Kulture in Lagos.
His father, Pius Remet, announced this at a news
conference in Lagos on Tuesday. He said the exhibition, titled “Starting on a Great
Foundation”, would showcase Onafujiri’s works from the time he started
expressing interest in the art of photography to date.
Mr. Remet said a strong expression of Onafujiri’s
passion in the collection of photographs started with the number of street
photographs he captured over a period of time.
“The photographs he takes along busy streets have shown
an additional exception of his passion for mobility; I can only help him
further as a parent,” he said.
Mr. Remet, who described children as the foundation for
sustainable nation building, advised parents to help their children develop
their innate talents.
“Society can only achieve its corporate dream from the
quality of people it has, and this starts with the value we are able to create
in our children.
“We have taken this dream this far to inspire early
parental attention from parents to their children.”
He said a renowned Nigerian photographer, Pa Okhai
Ojeikere, had volunteered to continue to mentor the young photographer.
“As we speak, world acclaimed photographer, Pa Ojeikere,
has taken it upon himself to serve as a mentor to Onafujiri.”
Onafujiri’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Remet, are
professional artists, and their children, Onarietta and Onatteni, have also won
awards for painting.
