following..

ethiopian flight meal. sometimes there were only macaroni in all dishes. this time better.

over 20 hour flight, including a transfer. witnessed a sunrise.

i liked this moment, it made me feel the world is a lonely planet.

over lagos

the iconic architecture of lagos airport. landed

into lagos

on my way to my accommodation.

after settling down, a friend chanced on me in the street, we talked a little and i took a photo.

bought the food from an old woman at the corner. amala and meat . i like the combination, a little spicy , makes my mouth mucous.

star beer , good stuff with which to flush down the spicy food coated with spicy pepe mash. a small kick.

a papaya tree. free organic food. i piled dozens of them under my bed. replenished everyday.

my papaya stock , the first day batch..not many . but i kept searching . many ownerless trees around here.

this tree was big for its species.

That doesn't look like a papaya tree, more like a breadfruit one.

encountered an igbo driver. he said some politically sensitive things to me , and he later feared i would tell other nigerians around . but i just took him to be a chat buddy.

visited one of my friends , the night market beside his house.

inside the house of my friend. he lived with his father. the photos on the wall. we talked a lot and left his daddy at home watching tv and we two went out to have a walk.

the bar we were going to. tonight few people.

the bar owner. he was happy to see me. been to here more than 10 times.

we ordered suya meat, bottle beer, wine . my closest friend in nigeria.

the balcony of my accommodation. i stayed one month.

my french language translator. just kidding. but he did know french. a fast learner.

i forgot his name after 2 years . this time when i saw him i recognized him, but could not tell his name. he was excited to see me.

another guy was the same. i forgot his name after thinking 2 minutes. but he literally jumped up two feet in the air when he met me on the road. very happy to see them !

had a meal with another friend. seemed like i had meals with a different friend everyday. too many of them.

Why are you posting people pictures without seeking their consent? And then you refused posting your personal picture. That's quite unfair bro
