HOLD TIGHT………..DON’T LET GO! A couple of days ago, I was out shopping in downtown Lagos, Nigeria. Anyone who is familiar with that shopping area knows how chaotic it is most days. It was also a very hot afternoon and alleyways were streaming and teeming with crowds of men and women buying and selling any manner of merchandise from pots
