‘Odina’

This is Odina, and he’s our long term, weekend Security Guard. He comes from the Eastern part of Nigeria, and has lived in the UK for about 20 years.
He’s a lovely, quiet and polite chap, who has told me many things about Nigeria and the culture there. He’s quite blunt and honest, and says the country is crippled by corruption and Religious animosities, and sadly, he can’t see the place changing anytime soon!
He says he’ll never go back!!

I like the direction of your flash. It is sad what is happening in so many places around the world, and that includes in the US.

This is a fine portrait, great pose and lighting. It must be heartbreaking to see one's home country suffering.
