Street life in Lagos

Lagos is an adventure that I maintain any African should experience at least once in their lifetime. Lagos reminds me of one really big township and it has a real sense of adventure about it. This photo was taken while driving and depicts a typical scene of what street life is like in Nigeria. You can buy anything from vegetables to recharge vouchers for your mobile phone and on the streets everything is dirt cheap. I have to admit it’s not a city that one really wants to walk around in by oneself but if you’re with a local it’s pretty safe to do so.

Over the coming days/weeks I’m going to be posting a series of photos I took while I spent some time in Lagos. I know that everything in Lagos was an experience to me and I hope that some of the photos will help depict that experience to you.
