He is healthy-looking, happy and brilliant. He plays

‘child’s world’.

His age is far from being reflected in what he is
doing at the present with the camera lens. Click! click! click! goes Onafujiri’s camera as he captures exciting
moments everywhere. And his passion for photography has qualified his family to
pass for an ‘Art House’.

The Remets also want other parents to be inspired to give
early parental attention to their children. They believe that many talents in
children have died over time because the parents did not give quality time to
help the children develop such talents.
