No electricity, no water and lousy phone connections: since two weeks I'm sharing the troubles of everyday life with the Nigerians. For the fifth chapter of my book on cities in Africa, I'll be living for five weeks in the city of Ibadan, Southern Nigeria. In this biggest indigenous town of Africa I'll look into what urbanisation does with family ties and tradition. If you read Dutch (or don't mind merely looking at the pictures), check out my weblog with the Dutch newspaper nrc.next.
