Market days

Markets always seem to be one of the centers of activity in Nigeria. Electricity isn't the greatest so food doesn't keep. It's always interesting to see all the colorful things being sold at the "supermarket" in Zaria.

For some reason or another, there's always a plethora of tomato and potato stands alongside the road. I guess if you get the sudden urge to throw things at the truck who cut you off?


And of course, tropical fruit galore! Gotta love the 20 cent mangos.
