RE: Street Photography In my City of Lagos, Nigeria : Series 2
Nice pix.
I have been to computer village a couple of times. One thing I respect the place for is how cheap their goods are services are. But you have to shine your eyes sha.
I see some improvements though. The market is not as rowdy as it used to be in the past or maybe the shops are yet to open as I can see some stacked up furnitures.
Sometimes I wonder if there is a place in the city of lagos where there is no street trading and littered surroundings. That would be a beauty to behold.
That above is the main deal my man. You could easily be swindled by those guys on the streets. I think the rule of thumb is to deal with proper shops and not guys hanging around. There is a higher probability you are dealing with the correct persons like that.
Bro, The market is still as rowdy as it should be o... I didn't add/take a shot of that point you have people moving up and down.. couldn't raise my camera too high. Also, I went close to some minutes after 6pm and so, many shops had clossed by then.
There are places in Lagos where street trading is not rampant, but of cause, it's not what defines Lagos as the "rugged" city for all. The Lagos Islands could be an example, but of cause, that only forms a smaller percentage of Lagos.The Mega city initiative too is taking street trading off gradually.Infact, there was a point in which a legislation was made against street traders and even those that petronise them. My picture story would take us there soon, so just stay tuned.
