Orile-Iganmu, Lagos (The Way We Live)

Could you imagine yourself sitting, walking or swimming around this picturesque city, supposedly the largest metropolis in Africa, thinking about the potopoto, muds, swamps, refuse dumps and roads without storm drains? Of course, it's normal living and you bet, Naijas are happy, no matter what.

The mind is a wonderful thing, with an infinite ability to multitask, as my mind is doing in this case, mixing two seemingly unrelated considerations - one dealing with roads without storm drains and the other concerning the poor conditions of living in Africa's most populous country and perhaps the richest black nation on Planet Earth.

Imagine!
