"Osaretin Michael - Convince me that you are 21 years old in the 2021 picture. Sure you are not 10 years old? What's going on in the world that a 21 year old man looks like a 5 year old? You have both congratulations and a problem to deal with because, most Naija people will see you as a child and may not want to take instructions/directives from you."
Nicholas Onah (Jnr) said:

A lady made a perfect recreation
Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that a young lady with the handle @iamchanel_a got people talking on the social media platform after recreating a photo her mum took with her as a baby in 1997.
The lady recreated the old image by taking an adorable photo with her daughter and striking the same pose in the first picture.
The lady's photo as a baby shows there is a striking resemblance between her and her daughter.
