  • Story Text: Travelling tailors provide a noisy but useful service in Lagos, capital of Nigeria.

    The tailors carry their sewing machines on their shoulders through the narrow streets. Householders with garments to repair call out to them. The price is haggled over and the repairs are done there and then on the pavement.

    Many Lagos householders take advantage of this useful service brought to their doorsteps.
