Poverty or stupidity

So i was driving last week along a popular road in Ibadan, and there i found myself staring at this woman on a motorcycle (Okada as we all call it here). She was carrying a really big mattress on her head, she was backing a baby, and the motorcycle had a number of kegs attached to it.

There and then I started thinking of pictures i had seen in time past of people carrying heavy stuff on okada or doing something really crazy on the motorcycle. i was always of the opinion that most of those pictures were actually doctored to portray what the photographer wanted to express as I felt most reasonable people will not do crazy stunts like this.

However, this was happening in my very own eyesight, the motorcycle was moving so slowly like it was towing a lorry. While all these thoughts were going through my mind in milliseconds, i was trying to assemble my phone cos the battery was out and start taking pictures of the incidence since it isn't something i come across daily.

I wonder if its poverty or stupidity that makes people do crazy things like this!!! If the woman wasn't thinking about herself or anything else, what about the baby???

Gotta go now, will post something else very soon. Please share your funny pictures with me.

Cheers....
