The picture here reminds me of the trash dump markets scattered all over Lagos. Scenes like this were typical of Alaba Market (near Suru Bus Stop), Oyingbo Market, Ebutero Market, Balogun Market, Oshodi Market, Boundary Market (by Malu Road), Amuwo Odofin Market, Bariga Market and Isolo Market. These markets operate like flea markets but the trouble here is there are no public latrines where shoppers could take a leak or use restrooms in a civilized way. Shoppers have an option, though. Men, women and children take their leaks in the open, oftentimes by the corners and trash dumps. Interestingly, nothing much has changed. Na wah!How time flies!
