We Are Lagbaja
In a world and country such as Nigeria, divided by tribe, religion, and status, We Are Lagbaja tells the story of oneness, Lagbaja means "anybody" or "somebody" in Yoruba, a name with no face, no label, and no identity. The film preaches about what happens when we treat each other simply as human beings. When a citizen helps a stranger, when a leader serves "anybody," when we drop the labels and choose kindness, everything changes. If we are all somebody to someone, the world and my country can become whole again. The film hero represents a legendary Nigerian singer, also called Lagbaja. I drew inspiration from him for the character design because his music revolves around humanity, and he was a perfect fit.
