I can't believe it took me living in another country to appreciate the beauty of my motherland. Granted Nigeria isn't perfect but its still my nation and I am proud to say i am one of Her citizens. So to commemorate Nigeria @55 in my own way here are a few shots of beautiful girls and women in traditional Nigerian clothing. 

Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In some of them you can see me in the eyes of the subject 

Let me know which one your favorite is in the comment box. 

Theres something about the beauty that is created from darkness that captures my interest. A silhouette is literally created from blocking the sunshine and therefore creating darkness,but its still beautiful. Which goes to show that you can still make something beautiful from something that blocks your sunshine or gets in your way. Hope you enjoy the pictures as much as I do. 

I introduce to you a beauty that goes by the name Loretta Onoja
