The Wait That Never Ends

Taken in Lagos on a day that tested both patience and faith, this image captures a fleeting moment in the city’s eternal traffic, a mirror of endurance etched on the face of a woman who has seen too many such mornings,noon, nights. That day, my own journey had begun with a broken car and hours of uncertainty under the sun. By the time we finally moved, I understood that Lagos is more than a city; it is a rhythm of waiting, surviving, and continuing, even when the road refuses to move. Her gaze, steady yet weary, tells the story of millions who rise each day to wrestle with time, faith, and fate, a quiet resilience that the dust of Lagos never forgets.
