WARNING TO ALL BLOGS, SPORTS WRITERS, MEDIA OUTLETS, AND CONTENT AGGREGATORS.
I am issuing this warning for the last time.
My photographs and creative works are NOT public property. I do not work for you, I am not affiliated with you, and I am certainly not producing content for your platform free of charge.
Any individual, blog, sports writer, media page, or organization found reposting, altering, cropping, editing, removing credits, or redistributing my work without my express permission should consider this their final notice.
Unauthorized use of my images is theft of intellectual property. If you use my work without permission, alter it in any way, or present it as your own, I will not hesitate to publicly identify those responsible and pursue every available avenue to protect my work and rights.
This industry already suffers from a lack of respect for creatives. I will not contribute to that culture by remaining silent when my work is exploited.
If you want to use my images, ask. If permission is not granted, do not use them.
No exceptions. No excuses.

Itโs official.
I will be at my first Menโs World Cup and I have successfully secured visaโs to the US and Canada, with access to travel to Mexico.
When I started sports photography, they said sports can take you places. Guess they were right.
This journey has a lot of players, @kelvinekerete invited me to the industry (watched him take his first slap in sagamu), Hon Nduka Irabor entered my DM and supported a budding creative and when traveling for trips was a pipe dream, @ShehuDikko said if you are creative I will put you on the plane, and gave me a seat on the plane to shoot the super eagles across several African countries.
Dr Olajire of NFF communications and the whole protocol team, the work you do behind the scenes makes it easier.
Thanks to everyone that has supported and helped me grow.
This will be my first FIFA Menโs Works Cup (did womenโs in Australia), sadly I wonโt get to photograph the Super Eagles.
My DM is open, brands, sponsors, support and partner modzero sports, TRYBAL News.
