erad: The Nigerian hero, an everyday hustler giving himself a break.

50calibre: Most of these heavily edited photos give the impression of lagos as a first world city. The reality is a far cry from these.

It's necessary to show the different sides so we can really put things into perspective.

See below, the other side of lagos
Hard life!!

50calibre: 1 - A well deserved bath after a long day

2 - Everyday hustle & bustle

3 - All work and no play makes jack a dull boy

technophile: @OP, please how much did you pay the mods to get this meg sucking thread to the front pages, cos there are more sensible, less megabytes sucking thread out there that are waiting for the mods approval to make the FP.

dont8: As if the so called first world don't have their own ghettos, mtshew.

This is your Heaven (America)

You didn't see that coming about your heaven on earth, right?

cococandy: is this the only ghetto in America?
All the people I see trying to discredit America use this same picture.
Says a lot huh?

cococandy: I've seen that picture plenty times.
It means that ghettos must be so hard to find if that's all the disparagers can find to discredit america with.

Meanwhile it looks almost like the cities of nigeria.

Heaven on earth? You bet.
I pray I get the chance to leave this country soooon. Sooner than soon sef.

dont8: I would have posted more pics for your viewing sake, but I don't want to deviate and derail the beauty of this thread further. The point is, the way you portray your country, the same way others will see it.

That is Sambisa

Hey, start going this night so to know how many of us that is remaining to fix our country

cococandy: In other words,it is better to praise the slums of Nigeria so that outsiders will have a pseudo nice image of our country than to speak up about it so that the govt can do something right?
Even with all the wealth we live like paupers here and you're more concerned about keeping up appearances than rooting to fix the problem

Joke.
Deluded.

Keep up the image laundering ok? Let those who are actually concerned say something.

Anyway I agree that this one is a nice thread but it doesn't change the truth.
Bye

dont8: Don't get me wrong, I know our country is bad bla bla bla; even here in Ikeja, there is a ghetto at the centre of Alausa and we all see the the ghettos around us everyday.

But once in a while we should portray the beautiful side of our country, it doesn't have to be all about negative aspect everytime. I know there is a trend and culture of Nairaland that you can counter a thread by opening another. So I expect another thread to be opened to counter this one, it can be called 'My Photo Diary: Other Side Of Lagos' and you back it up with pictures from the slums.

I've seen lots of pictures depicting Lagos as a ghetto anyway (especially the documentary BBC did), I'm tired of seeing that!

UrbanMystique: there are far too much slums In America. In Queens, Baltimore, Detroit, etc but they don't snap the picture and upload on the in the Internet like we love to do here.
America has more gettos than any country in Africa #fact

I saw a picture of it on Instagram and felt I would like to have a picture of it of MY OWN. So I went to the Marina and took the picture with my phone camera. I do crazy stuff like that sometimes
