Wanna get the real feel of the life of an ordinary Joe on the streets of Lagos? Wake up around 5am and take a walk around a major road/axis and see things for yourself.
The often packed bus-stops with 'shepe' joints, despite the early chill of the morning you can't escape the heat, then comes the usual commuter/driver brouhaha, the cause is usually over the balancing of change. Get down from the bus and you'll see the look on the faces of folks around you, the willful ignorance of what beckons, the uncertainty of what the day will bring forth, and the hope somewhere in their heart of hearts that their luck will better yesterday's or at least hold out...
In the coming coming posts I hope to share a lot of these moments that somewhat inspired this blog with y'all.
Every single day you go through without a major disappointment or problem somewhere is a scarce and precious one in Lagos...
