Hey People,
I'm back and a bit recovered from the euphoria of Loc Appreciation Day, Lagos, 2014. A BIG "THANK YOU" to everyone who made it to the event. The rain that fell that Saturday the 28th of June almost required us to build Noah's Ark... Chai, but there was God :)
It was indeed a pleasure to have organised and I'm sincerely grateful for all the support I received from, Bassey Ikpi, Wana wana, The Obii, Belz Accessories, Black and Loud photography, Inyang Otu, Oghogho Kamah, Edwina (who came all the way from Cotonu), Aunty Angela, Aunty Pauline, Rama Shagaya, Nonny, Rulz, Damilola, Kazeem, Benjamin, Helen, my Konga.com family, EVERYONE and of course the reason why I still have locs, my sweetheart, Akan Umoden.
Ok no more talk, just pictures from here on.
