Documenting the style-scape of Lagos, Nigeria

BECAUSE WE'RE HAPPY. NO..REALLY..WE ARE!

Remember when the BBC ranked Nigeria as the nation with the happiest people on earth? Check it out HERE
Well that article came with its own little controversy but truth be told, we have a survival spirit that makes us see the funny in the otherwise mundane. 

People world over must have their own happiness yardsticks and resilience measures, but in the face of the deep ethnic divide, corruption, poverty and lack of infrastructure Nigerians have been dealt with since I was a youngling, there's definitely something to be said for the consistent street dancing and random joyful outbursts you could find on any Lagos street.

Take for example, while I was photographing this beauty, countless people of all walks of life happily asked if they could be included in the pictures. 
Well..I didn't quite include them. I just pretended to. And this is a regret. 
Next time I will. Because why not? 
They are Lagosians, on the street and in style. 
Happy style.


Cheers :)
