Eemo l'ereko


There is this Yoruba way of describing the indescribable with the chant:
Mo r’eemo lereko; aja w’ewu o ro’so (I have seen the indescribable; I saw a gaily dressed dog in town). I have lived in Abuja (Nigeria) for a while, and I see eemo (the indescribable) on the roads on a daily basis. These photos are the indescribable I saw the other day—a man reading a newspaper while driving. Take a look, he was also on his phone at the same time! 

Unbelievable: our friend with a newspaper on his steering wheel while driving down Ahmadu Bello Way, Wuse 2.

He is not only reading the newspaper but making or receiving a  call as well.

And that's him seemingly in hot pursuit of the motorcycle in front of him!
