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.

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