Abimbola, in her good intents towards Peace decided to do a proper photoshoot for Peace in a bid showcase the uniqueness in the young girl. However, getting back to Mile 12 market to inform Peace and her parents of her intentions, Abimbola was taken by surprise by other market women. Read below as she narrates her experience:
I can't believe how ignorant and envious people can be... I went
to meet peace where her mum sells Ugwu and I was almost eaten raw by the Ugwu
sellers there... I was so disoriented!
Peace' Mum didn't complain, I already spoke with her Dad and he was
grateful but these women couldn't hide their jealousy, they made a scene and
almost tagged me a kidnapper...people started gathering.
The envious Ugwu women said they saw her pictures everywhere on
the internet that she was too young, I asked them if she was too young to be
successful?
These women were trying to convince her mum not to allow me take
her to the studio for professional photos. They even blamed her for
allowing me to take the pictures in the first place.
That's when it became so obvious that it was jealousy! she said
Read Abbott this on the Nigerian forum and was indeed captivated by her eyes and have been pondering how to get in touch with the photographer in order to have her get the girl in some photo sessions with a morning agency....please do respond with your email address so I can send yoh details about what plans are being worked on
