Mohammed & Nana
Mohammed and Nana are my neigbours in Abuja, Nigeria. Mohammed is big on soccer, playing street ball with the rest of the neighborhood kids every evening, sometimes with no shoes or just flip flops.
Nana is probably one of the smartest kids in my hood, always wanting to know every detail about my tattoos, she would tell me how well she is doing in school and for a kid who speaks hausa practically all day am amazed at her english.
