Vestido de verde esperanza, Ali se convirtió en modelo de campaña. Parecía que hubiera nacido para eso. “Su pose, la estructura de su cuerpo y su tono de piel eran perfectos”, al menos para Afolabi, el profesional que captó con su lente el espíritu de este ciudadano habitante de la calle.

I had a shoot today at ikeja, while were waiting for the model to arrive,we decided to meet with a guy(ALI) who was sleeping under the bridge to model for us . I would like to believe that Ali was born for this . His pose , his body structure and his skin tone was perfect. pic.twitter.com/3Dat0A9j9v
