"Unusual" Scenes from Nigeria

Well, they're not really all that unusual, more typical actually. They still make me chuckle a little everytime I see them.



When I first saw these signs, I thought that there must be a lot of pesky house buyers stopping by unexpectedly all the time. Apparently, it's a popular scam (of course) to break into someones house while they're away and sell their house to someone else. Apparently, someone who breaks into a house, poses as the owner, and manages to sell it is not crafty enough to paint over the sign.

They really like to pack in the cargo vans...

Apparently, the TP doubles as another bumper too.


I can't help but laugh everytime I see this poster.

The Naira is sooo dirty. I guess with the "indecent storage" (top left) and no Naira "spraying" (bottom left), using the Naira in a strip club isn't proper use of the currency.

And everywhere you look, people are carrying things on their heads. It's very practical, although I have no idea how their necks support some of the weight!





Typical rush hour along the path.
