Picture Postcards From Lagos - Danfo Hustle

By Devesh Uba

Danfo is clearly the symbol of Lagos. I think these yellow buses resonate with the spirit of the Lagos city. These VW vans are always in a hustle, moving people from one part of the mega-city to another. The conductors are often standing out, feeling the Lagos wind on their faces. I have also heard the song 'I am a Danfo driver' and I quite like it. I have no doubts, if you look at Lagos from skies it will look all yellow :)

Out and About Lagos - Old and New Projects

A Catholic Mission from Colonial days - Who knows the name?

On the day I went out for that bookish event and ate Gala again, I also took some pictures. Of course, I hear some of you say :) There are a lot of projects going on in Lagos and one can only hope that the current government is able to complete most of it. If possible too, successor administrations should be far-sighted enough to know that everyone benefits when any project is complete and not just one they started. Enjoy...
