BABY STEP Had not known some of my images were in Sub-Saharan Africa: Architectural Guide by DOM Publishers. Feel a nudge proud of myself. For images made at a time when I was enthused by saturated yellows. Anyways. Thanks to @_lumide & @rotimiokungbaye for the link-up & making this happen. Thank God! #architecturalphotography #architectureinafrica #lagosarchitecture #architecture #yení (at Lagos, Nigeria) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPQcwd7lOI1/?utm_medium=tumblr
Meal Tickets as Status Symbols — Day 21/ Week 3 In Obubra, where the permanent NYSC orientation camp is situated, there is a significant amount of iron in the soil, causing the soil to have a reddish colouration, that led to the popular phrase 'Obubra Red Sand' among corps members. As a result even borehole filtered water — used in cooking camp served meals — is coloured. This adds to one of the reasons some corps members stay away from meals served in the canteen, preferring to eat in the camp market; Mammy. Ironically, the same water is also used in cooking restaurant meals in Mammy Market. Slide 3/3 — Day 21, final day in camp: meal tickets are submitted back upon collection of last camp meal. . . Meal Tickets as Status Symbols is a series that explores how National Youth Service Corps members (NYSC) use meal tickets as status symbols to place themselves into social classes. It looks at how people use objects as perceived, 'markers' of one's social or economic standing amongst a group of people. Status symbols are "perceived visible, external denotation of one's social position", used as an indicator for perceived social or economic standing amongst a group of people, (or status). Different objects serve as status symbols to different social circles even if they are of different value, and in the NYSC orientation camp the meal ticket is one of such symbols. What were your experiences with NYSC camp meals? Did you stay away or did you love it? Do share in the comments below! Pictures taken in NYSC orientation camp Obubra, Cross River State, 2019.

On 15th October 2020, the Federal government announced the reopening NYSC orientation camps after a seven month suspension of the scheme as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. NYSC camps the country over, reopened on the 10th of November under strict Covid-19 guidelines, some of which include but not limited to, the carrying out of Covid-19 testing, the compulsory wearing of face masks, a reduction in the number of corps members mobilised to camp. The series attempts to draw semi-forced comparisons with the use of 'face masks' from separate moments in time; 2019 & 2020, especially with the current face mask culture all over world. #mealticketsasstatussymbols #documentaryphotography #nysc #yení . .

Reposted from @limboaccra Limbo? A number of high rise properties on Lagos Island are under the mystery of many uncertainties. Who owns what? State, federal government or private. What was it built for? Affordable Housing? For the nouveau rich or bourgeoisie? Simply, a lot of the buildings on Lagos Island, perhaps in particular, Onikan — are underutilised. While at the same time, there have been attempts to repurpose some fallow buildings, and even fashion out entirely new products. A so to speak, 'Re-Jig' of the Onikan District.
