The city of Lagos, Nigeria is a city sprawling with people from all corners of the country struggling in unison towards a common goal; Subsistence. These pictures are a result of a daring unique experience with my camera and a different perspective of the city. Set in Yaba, Lagos, it depicts a City “Wet and Alive”, a spirit not broken, a restive resolve of the people to make it no matter the odds. Please Like, Share and dont forget to leave comments.
An abandoned bike in the rain…I assume the owner sought refuge from the rain.
Refuge from the rain.
People standing under the cantilevers/covers while their goods stay in the rain
A woman wading through the rain with her goods on her head…I assume the nylon wrapper is to prevent the money she has made from getting wet…
A watch seller protecting his goods.
Buying and selling defying the heavy rainfall
Hunkering down in the rain…
A bus driver changing his tyre in the rain…
Buying and selling florishing in the rain
Even the roasted corn seller’s fire is burning bright
A man running to avoid being beaten too heavily by the torrential rain..
And the mannequine stands tall
Alas, the crowd of the market goes home as the sound of the drums drowns away.
