Nigeria's sleepless students trying to beat the Lagos traffic

The notorious traffic jams of the Nigerian city of Lagos are robbing some children of their sleep.

If you don't understand anything สล็อต บิงโก you can contact us 24 hours a hour, we always have a quality team to support you.

When 14-year-old Oluwapelumi Ogebere leaves home for school at 04:50, it is dark and chilly.

Holding hands with her mother Atinuke Ogebere, her backpack makes a squishing sound as it rubs against her uniform as they walk more than 100m to the bus stop. They can barely see around them, the torchlight on Mrs Ogbere's phone illuminates only a small path in front.

But they both walk with the assurance of practised routine - they have been doing this every school day since 2018 when they moved to the Ikorodu area of Lagos.

Any delay in the routine, such as Mrs Ogbere not waking up at 02:00 or her daughter at 04:00 - or a missing sock - might mean Oluwapelumi getting sucked into the frenzy of rush-hour traffic and arriving late at secondary school 32km (20 miles) away in the Ikeja district.

Many households face similar situations - and the sight of children, some as young as two, slumped inside school shuttle buses from 05:00 has become common in the city.

Many working parents also rush off before dawn to drop their children at school then heading off to work early so they can beat the traffic and then pick them up late in the evening on their return.
