Maiduguri Market

view map

The edge of the market that is. Trails through the trash, alongside
the Ngadda River. This town
was a real, ummm, something ...adventure, eye opener, holy crap!!!
kind of place. The market was heaving, the streets packed, the temperature
hot and the place just pure chaos. We did some shopping in the
market, drove in and out of the town, as well as around and this was
the general scene. If you click on the link above, there is a comment
about the positive side of the city. I'm sure there are many positives
...or at least a few, if you consider those sights positive, but we
just didn't see them, Honestly, I would rather walk around places like this.
Adventuresome is a word I would use. The real part of the city, so to speak.

Taken in Maiduguri, capital of the Borno State, Nigeria.

What a sad sight...and I bet this pile of garbage has been picked through 10 times.Reminded me of the of tourist areas in Mexico.
