A homeless Nigerian man, Ali Olakunmi, has become a celebrity overnight after a model failed to show up for a scheduled photoshoot session.
His life took a new turn when he had a ‘chance-meeting’ with a Lagos-based photographer, Afolabi Lagos.
The photographer left social media users stunned after he narrated his encounter with Mr Olakunmi and how he agreed to model for a shoot.
He explained that while waiting for his original model to show up for a shoot, he found Mr Olakunmi sleeping under a bridge and decided to get him to model instead.
The video captured the photographer waking the homeless man up to ask him if he wanted to try modeling – where he nodded his head in affirmation.
