“Mobile Life Lagos Nigeria”

Everything that doesn’t work in Lagos – and that is a lot – is made operative by the people themselves. The shopkeepers and craftsmen are mobile: if you want to buy bread, have your trousers repaired or need a haircut, you just walk outside and the vendors and craftsmen circle around you.As the electricity works only ten or twenty per cent of the time and brown water pours from the taps, the electricity and the water supply are made mobile too. If you want to work on one of your blogs, you go out into the street to find a cart with jerry cans filled with diesel. You start your generator, get your computer running and off you go. If you want to wash yourself, get the boy with water from the streets to fill up the container in your house. Take a bucket of water from the container to your bathroom and indulge yourself in throwing the fresh water with a saucepan over your body.
