“We want the skate scene to explode. We want pro skaters coming out of Lagos. We want to see African skaters on a global stage skating for our own reasons. We want people’s jaws to drop when they see what we can do. Here it’s like life isn’t always constant, water isn’t always constant, light isn’t always constant, but skating is constant. We kind of have to work our way through everything. So we want to have pros coming out of here so we can self-sustain our scene. We want to show the world what our city is like on our own terms.”

WAFFLESNCREAM

A shift in culture isn’t a siloed experience. It is created out of necessity by forward thinkers in efforts to update the outdated. On Nigeria’s Victoria Island, the renegade group of 14 to 27-year-olds is a good case in point. The name: WAFFLESNCREAM, a title meant to sound familiar like that of a popular imported treat or dish. The logo: a colonizer in a top hat with dead eyes. Though created in 2012, WAFFLESNCREAM existed mostly as an identity for the boys until the opening of their store in January. These days, the store’s roof serves as a meeting point for the crew for refuge from the blistering heat.
