This is what I do
Five Thousand Miles
Five Thousand Miles is a globalization services agency that believes all companies and individuals should be exposed to the world. We have companies in 7 countries located in Africa, Europe and the Americas.
Photography
I always had a certain connection with photography. To this day I recall developing photos with my father in a darkroom. Today, I find myself adventuring on street photography, forging moments of pause on an ongoing world. Having experienced every model out there from my father’s classic Pentax to high-end Leicas, currently, I’m blaming Fujifilm for my gear acquisition syndrome.
Travel the world
I’ve visited 49 countries, some of them dozens of times. I love our planet and enjoy Manhattan USA as much as Lagos Nigeria.
Framework
Freedom is the key performance indicator of success.
The purpose of life and therefore the source of happiness is to create.
The value of creation is proportional to the freedom delivered to humans.
