i got to know adamu on a more personal level and had personal meetings between the two of us where we’ll basically discuss animation interests and show each other our work. and i would save part of my feeding money each month for the trip from kaduna to abuja for the meeting. the photos i saw from the previous meetings ispired me to attend. some of the forum members in abuja headed by uk returnee Adamu Waziri created a collective of artists from different fields and they held monthly collective meetings. there i got to meet like minds in both 2d and 3d animation as well as film and vfx techniques. I discovered a Nigerian online forum called Nairaland under the graphics video section.

My professional career in animation started in late 2008. during this time i was at collage and i struggled with my grades because my interests lay elsewhere. i made a lot of progress in that area as well and i was away from 2d for a while. i started learning 3ds max and would go to a cyber cafe and save webpages of a tutorials online onto a usb flash drive and take home. i then also was eager to learn and make 3d animations. but by then i had also become exposed to 3d animation and the basics of how they were made. i couldnt wait to get back to making my cartoon tests and improving. finaly in 2005 a friend who had a desktop and recently got a laptop let me have his old p.c. i kept trying to convince family members to buy me a computer which was very expensive at the time and for the most part, they thought i just wanted to use it to play video games. the owner of the computer which was a rare thing to have access to at the time travelled and i wasnt able to animate or progress as i would have hoped.

there were no books i could get on how to animate or even the internet but i went about it the best way i felt i could and i was very pleased with the result.

later cropped and them on the computer and imported to the software and played my first ever character animation.
i finally traced all the frames to 2 A4 sheets to make scanning easier. i jumped at the opportunity to make my first cartoon and went back to my room and drew pictures a basketball player doing crossover moves continuously by tracing over the last image i drew. he also had a software called jasc paint shop which had an animation shop component that allowed you to run through images at any speed you wish. My first attempt at real animation was in 2000 when i made a friend with a computer and a scanner as well. we started making flip book animations in class with edges of our notebooks or even text books which were thicker and easier to flip. i went on to read more about it in encyclopedias and i became even more interested. I first learnt about how cartoons were actually made when i was 9 years old and my dad saw me watching a cartoon show and explained to me how they were made from drawings switched at 24 frames per second. i remember sometimes when i argued with friends at school that Popeye’s name was baraccio di ferro and the smurfs where called puffi blue which were their names in the italian dubbed versions respectively. i remember after my dad got retired, the family relocated back to Nigeria and though we had just a few cartoons showing on local tv, still had a lot to watch in the form of the cartoons my brother taped for us from italy.

i couldn’t get enough of the cartoons on Italian tv which then were mostly dubbed American and Japanese cartoons. i guess Italian stations like RAI helped expose me to much more cartoons that i would have had access to in Nigeria at the time. that love later became more focused on things to do with cartoons as most kids in their early years. when ever i cried or was making any trouble, all it took to get me quiet was to put me in front of a tv screen and id be very quiet and watch on and on sometimes for hours. my mother used to tell me that ever since i was a baby. my love for animations started in my most tender ages when less than a year old, my family traveled to Italy with my dad who was then the Nigerian ambassador to Italy.
