The ‘Streets of Nigeria’ series is an artistic documentation of the architecture, lifestyle, and people in the Nigerian communities that I visit.
A colonial building in Ukehe, Enugu State, southeastern Nigeria. Rumoured to be the first storey building in the region, it was built by the Portuguese in 1758, and later acquired by a slave merchant, Eyiduru Nwajagwu.
