The Superheroes of Lagos
From the young Nigerians creating their own kind of superheroes to the award-winning photographer capturing the brave firefighters of Lagos.
Outlook鈥檚 Abdulmalik Fahd drops in on Spoof Animations, one of Nigeria鈥檚 newest cartoon studios, where a new generation of Nigerians are drawing new kinds of superheroes. We talk to Ayodele Elegba who founded the studio and decided to recruit Emmanuel Oluwasegun and Tunrayo Oloyede, young animators who bring to life characters that reflect their own experience and tell the stories of their fellow Nigerians.
Akintunde Akinleye is an award-winning photographer who鈥檚 spent much of his career photographing real life heroes 鈥� the firefighters battling pipeline explosions around the gridlocked city. One photograph of the aftermath of an explosion changed his life when he won an international photography award.
