Oluyinka Adeparusi Wins German Development Media Award by mrofficial(m): 8:00pm On Aug 15, 2013

Yinka Adeparusi is a photojournalist who uses his camera lens not only to record the "what," but the "why" of a scene as well. He now works for the National Mirror newspaper in Lagos after time spent as a trainee reporter and photojournalist at two other Nigerian publications, The Punch and New Age. Adeparusi graduated from the prestigious Lagos State University School of Communication, achieving double honors in both photojournalism and cinematography.

The winner of multiple awards for his work, Adeparusi feels especially drawn to reporting human rights issues through powerful images. He hopes his work exposes the problems confronting his immediate environment and Nigerian society in general.

In his winning photograph, Adeparusi captured an image of several children about to paddle home from school in Makoko, the slum where they live which is raised on stilts over Lagos Lagoon. Education is often described as one of the most powerful weapons against poverty. But in the Makoko floating slum, the poorest settlement in all of Nigeria, many children have little hope of ever seeing the inside of a classroom. These kids are a few of the lucky ones.

Nobody want to associate with failure. He is a success, the reason you said he was your former coursemate. Assuming he was convicted for one offense or the other, you wouldn't have even posted anything. Congratulations Yinka.

Gombe youths can never be in foreign prisons because they are on Nigeria soil; begging for food, throwing bombs and raping children. That is what Ahmadu Bello and Tafawa Balewa planned for your future. You can see what Awolowo and Zik planned for us in the South.

I have 4 different certificates from 4 different higher institutions in Nigeria including LASU; none of the institutions is prestigeous

all these stewpid tribal bigots are here again.... I'm sure most of these edeots have never been to other region, u hide in your cave and post rubbish and inciting posts all d time... must u tribalize every issue? achebe, soyinka, emegwali, aliu, adichie, okocha and so many others that are celebrated worldwide are known as Nigerians... not as ibos or yorubas.. we should learn to love each other and forget d past.... I live in North central , I'm from south west... I have friends from every region and tribe and I've come to realize no tribe is as bad as being portrayed, it simply boils down to individual.. love is d language, tolerance is the action... long live Nigeria

last bullet; seun and moderators should take a very stiff action against anybody wit derogatory statements against one tribe or d other before dis forum is taken down... freedom of speech doesn't mean incitement
