AWESOME thread OP.... i think you should create a blog for this, because the comments might get too long and we wouldn't be able to follow your postings... You can create a blog and be running this thread concurrently
I have an instagram and facebook page too, you could follow there cos comments won't get in the way. http://instagram.com/thehumansoflagos and http://www.facebook.com/humansoflagosng will create the blog or website soon. Thanks for the support.

"I like reading a lot, I read novels, story books, newspapers I read everything. Now I'm reading my daughter's Yoruba book, that one doesn't like reading her books at all, once she comes back from school she will throw her bag on the chair and run outside to play. I'm reading it now so I can help her do her assignment when I close market." #HumansOfLagos

This is so touching

@Op....if you think this your thread was just like a snack for people to browse and pass time....you were wrong...dead wrong! This thread is a game changer....above all else....it will change the way soooo many of us look down on ordinary struggling people.... see them as born cursed with poverty... illiterate and have no ambition, hope or dreams. And again....don't for a moment believe that this your thread would not be of interest to those in the diaspora...or total foreigners. Thanks for celebrating the lives and plight of ordinary people..."the man on the street". Keep them coming!

I follow Brandon's page (HONY) on Facebook, he is a very talented photographer.
@OP I just want you to know that he did not get to where he is today overnight. You can tell from his pictures of 3-4 years back, you'll be able to see that he has improved a lot now.
Last year when he did the world tour, he came to Africa but unfortunately he only visited Eastern Africa. Now we have our indigenous HOLa (Humans of Lagos), I can't but say how pleased I am.
You are doing a great job here OP! The posters above have all given you positive and helpful suggestions, and I tell you that if you heed to their words, you might just be on your way to greatness. Keep it up!

Please read the bolded.



Go somewhere.

OP, continue.

Sabi sabi... I read the bolded, and even though he gave credit to Brandon, his work should be a bit modified and not copying him verbatim yet having the mind to WATERMARK his pictures... even the original guy didnt do such..... Nigerians are very good are copying without innovating.
Na this kain OP go copy person REG Number join him own for expo!

Why do i feel like this is the most sensible stuff i've seen on NL.. It's really brilliant and i love the fact they had moderate poses cos most of em are being optimistic hence they don't have to appear sad to portray their stories as some people might expect...@op its amazing
