I'm sharing this post
for two reasons: One, to introduce Fuji to Nigerians so we can celebrate him
and two, to discuss if it's OK for a 3 year old to already have a career. He
has an exhibition coming up so yes, he has a career! CNN profiled the young budding
photographer on Inside Africa yesterday and below is what they wrote about Lil
Fuji...
While most children his
age in Nigeria - and the rest of the world - are more concerned with their toys
than a career, Onafujiri "Fuji" Remet has already embarked on his
mission to become a professional photographer.
Proud dad Pius Kugbere
Remet sent in these images of his talented young son posing with family and at
work in Lagos.
Himself an artist and
graphic designer, he says Fuji's inspiration came from the work of his creative
family.
Little Fuji even has an
exhibition coming up in Lagos on June 8. Not bad for a three-year-old.
See more photos of Fuji at work after the cut...

Above are some of the
photographs the 3 year old shot. Amazing really, but let's share our opinion on
the issue I brought up. Should a three year old be more concerned about his
toys or a career? You know what they say; catch them young, but how young is
too young?
