Lagos Traffic Jam

On the way back from the wedding, I was to experience my first Nigerian traffic jam. Despite Mr Azih's tactical maneuvers through the local streets of Lagos, it still took us two hours to get back to the house. (For comparison, it had taken us only ten minutes to get from the house to the wedding reception.) The video is from when the traffic was finally letting up. Near the end of the video, you can see the traffic warden bringing some order to the flow of cars and motorcycles. Poor guy, I wouldn't want his job. Of course, if there was electricity, then traffic lights would make everyone's life easier.
