Joblessness

I have never before in my life felt so loved! On my facebook page I had about 300+ birthday wall messages, which is totally overwhelming.

Today I'm putting up something rather subdued. I really don't know what to say about this one, apart from the fact that it's a true representation of how little work there is for a lot of people in Nigeria. This is a very common sight on the streets of Lagos. Sometimes you can find it here in the UK too.

True depiction of so many in African countries

On one hand it's so picturesque, and at the same time so depressing. Very well done, Alakija.

The subject matter is sad, but the photograph tells the story very well -- a tribute to the skill of the photographer.
"Sign of the times", good composition
