Master of upholstery, now teaching apprentices
- 🇳🇬 Lagos, Lagos, Nigeria

- English
I've worked in upholstery since 2002. I learned from my aunt and passed what I could on to 500 apprentices.
I can still tell good work from rushed work from across the street. I'm always reading two books at once.
It has been a good run and I'm grateful for all of it.

Some of my old apprentices now run their own shops. I couldn't be prouder.
