In celebration of Nigeria’s Independence day, talented photographer Femi Alabede presents a new photo editorial inspired by the colours of the flag; green, white, green titled She is Nigeria.

The write up following the thought-provoking photos tells the story of a strong Nigeria, represented as a woman striving through all trials and tribulations.

Broken pieces of love,

Strength and pain

Bound in history

As far-reaching as the stars

United in culture and traditions

Of seemingly blurred lanes

She is strength

In the dark,

She finds her light

For all the earth to see

She serves her beating heart

To share the message of strength;

Of inner power

She is pain

It makes her invisible

The bullets in her heart,

The knives carved in her back

Still she survives, not by choice

She’s a warrior at heart

Nigeria, she is the love of love

That perches in the soul

Whispering beats like Gypsy tunes

The sweetest of wine

To add a spark to life

Intoxicating the battered hearts of men

Drawing them to tangled moves

Making them one

as she creates a pure magic of undying unity.
