Caboose

Last time I was in Abuja I used my phone to take some pictures of the aftermath of demolitions at Utako Ultra-Modern International Market. It seems that the two-storey buildings that had surrounded the market (and held up the sign with the impressive name) were illegal, so down they had to come.

I’m sure they’ll be replaced with some more of the shiny “plazas” that blight Abuja. That is shopping complexes that are mostly empty apart from clothes shops operated as a hobby by the wives and girlfriends of rich men and where only their friends shop.
