Is Nollywood still fledgling?


Something is not right with the homevideo industry in Nigeria. This crew was seen shooting on Spencer street Yaba with everything that has bedeviled the industry. Lack of preparedness and preliminary survey has seen the crew shoot a car pick up scene in front of a locked gate. Will we ever learn?

The face bus Lagos bus stops


Lagos bus stops or shelters are coming 2 terms with modernity. And Adekunle bus stop murtala mohammed way Yaba, speaks of that newness. This is the third type of design and they are also representing. Check out the one at City mall Onikan and the others along Ikorodu road then you'll agree that Eko is for show

Pushed to a corner

And one couldn't help but give them this publicity too-to salute their courage

Then he will be too engrossed to worry about bland views. Or any other sorts but to earn his living: gauging, pumping and patching up.

A different world


It's a whole new world down there in the middle of this pix. Inside a motor park at marina Lagos by CMS stuff is pretty localised. Walking through at daytime only gives glimpses of the real thing. The little communities of bus drivers and conductors, taxi cab operators, area boys, local council and transport union officers, food vendors...all provide exhilarating sights, sounds, and gestures for the unschooled passerby and commuter

A colourful sleep


Sleep can be colourful. Tis is what this well made bed seems to be saying. The ambience of the entire room is heavily accentuated by the bed. One couldn't resist taking this pix cos apart from the bed being well laid, the combo of the adjoining wall colour and that of the duvet was a pleasing feed for the eyes
