DEBRIS + EDUCATION - MyPictureDay

Hi Friends,
This is just me playing around. I have been meaning to put in for one of @timsaid's weekly contests. But I don't have a camera ad I rarely have a good phone with which to take terrific pictures. But I have decided to just bone face today and shoot my shot, anyway.

So, as you know, where we come from, that is, Nigeria 🇳🇬, it's a place where two extreme opposites can sit face to face with each other and grin at themselves. It is not rare to find a **face me, I face you** bungalow house located adjacent a Duplex.

Well, my picture day mirrored something of this nature. It was on Thursday, actually. After a lazy morning, I finally went out to obtain my voter's card, but I was told to come the next day. This sort of put me in a low mood, because I was really hoping to get it done and over with. So, to cheer myself up, I took time to take some pictures. So, here they are,

Take One
Take Two
Rolling
Action

So yeah, this is looking so dissimilar from the fine, scenic, sleek, magical, ambient pictures we are used to, right? Well, that's because I like to capture people whose marginalized lives seem to have no bearing in the great compass of life.

These guys are employees of the privately owned waste disposal company operating in Lagos, Nigeria. They have been solely responsible for how and when our wastes are disposed. But recently, the government seemed to be displeased with the waste management methods of these old dudes. So they hired a new company called Visions cape to handle the job. Although, the old dudes still work, they only work for private individuals and companies. The guy with the rickety, worn out wheelbarrow, you just don't want to know where he is headed at with just wheelbarrow.

Should I say? No, I won't. I gave them my word. I won't defame their business.

So, let me show you the new dudes that now handle waste for Lagos state in Nigeria.

The people in overalls are the cleaners having a meeting outside and within an uncompleted building. And those green bins are the temporary dumpsters. So, you must as agree that these guys are very posh compared to the old dudes.

Well, it can only get more interesting. These two dudes, both the old and new, have their stations situated within the parameters of a government public primary school. Do everything you've seen so far were located within the school and few miles away from school. Let me show you.

**These kids told me their faces must show on Facebook, I think I am doing them a lot more good by featuring them here!**

It's a wonder how two things, that seem to belong to two different worlds can come together under one roof. Well, they are not as apart and untowardly extreme when we consider this picture.

![IMG_20180301_124817767.jpg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmV9aUMDmPmVJxptL3m2LKktpcC8zgHNnszU1e6zt2hK1n/IMG_20180301_124817767.jpg)

**So yes, as amateurish and raw as the pictures may all look, this was my picture day. And I sure did have a swell time capturing these beautiful moments and weird obscenities.**

It's good the government takes away contract from those who have become too comfortable in the system and forgets to handle their duty. 

Your phone photography isn't bad at all. You want bad, just wait for mine. Lol
