Carton lovers from all over Nigeria including Minister of labour and productivity,  Dr Chris Ngige, Prince Eze Madumere, former deputy Governor of Imo State, Ambassador Ayo Olukanni, Director General of NACCIMA who are high profile admirers of the celebrated cartoonist were on hand.




In a chat with ECD recently, the Mgbidi, Imo state born highly celebrated cartoonist said the works on exhibition vary from different political, social and economic issues captured in diverse styles and humorous imaginations.

For Ohams, it has been a long journey from cradle to present day in his chosen profession.
He joined the weekly Eagle Newspaper owned by Dr. K.O Mbadiwe, in Aba, thirty five years ago after leaving Bishop Shanahan College, Orlu, Imo State without any inkling that the profession will be a life time career enough to give him a place in both local and international cartoon industry.

Currently, he is Cartoon Editor of The Sun Newspaper where he has since carved a big niche for himself with several awards including editorial cartoonist of the year, the Nigerian Media Merit Award (NMMA), Diamond Award for Media Excellence (DAME),Wole Soyinka Investigative Award (WSIJ) BBC Budget Monitoring Best Cartoonist Award, Red Ribbon Award and others.



Ohams graduated with HND fine art from Yaba College of Technology and has worked with several media houses including Ikebe Super, Prime People and Vintage People, Quality Magazines and Champion Newspaper.


The unique selling point in all his works is the use of humour to douse the high political intensity and depth in international and local issues.
