Nigerian homeless Sleeping Under Bridge in Lagos Turns Model after Being Spotted by Photographer

Identified as Afolabi Lagos, the creative left social media users stunned after he narrated his encounter with Ali and how he agreed to model for a shoot.

In the post, Afolabi revealed that while waiting for his model to show up for a shoot, he found Ali sleeping under a bridge and decided to get him to model instead.

A dark skin man with just the right attitude, Ali wowed the designer who stated that he was born to model.

Afolabi wrote:

"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. Ali is born for thisFireFire. Look at his face and pose . Everything came easy with him today. I made the outfit also."
