OUR MEN…
A university graduate in desperate need of a job. A father’s vengeance for a
dead son. A young pragmatic man humbled by the horrors of incarceration. An
old man’s dying gift to a generation. A journalist’s courage in a notorious
military government. A youth corper’s temperance of religion, love and
survival
…THEIR STORIES.
From the quiet town of Umuahia to the creeks of Bonny Island, the sweltering
plains of Jos to the bustling hub of Lagos, these Nigerian men have a story
to tell. Stories of life, love, family, happiness, sorrow, pestilence and
death—situations faced every day in their lives. Armed with objectivity,
some find peace with their resolutions, while some face dire consequences
with prices to pay; with their freedom, or worst yet, their lives.
