Painting Description
This semi-abstract piece by Edward Osang highlights the bright yellow buses of Lagos. The popular Lagos commercial shuttle, Danfo, is a staple of the cosmopolitan city. Painted in yellow and white, the bus is arguably the most popular across the metropolis. The regular Danfo has a double seat in front, spacious enough to be occupied by two passengers aside the driver. But even when some buses come with a single seat beside the driver?s, the ingenious Danfo driver doubles it with a ?Joko? or an ?Apoti?, a makeshift seat stuck between the gear and the driver?s seat. The ?joko? is an object of inconvenience, invented with the sole intent of commerce, and with no thought for the passenger?s comfort, thus making it the most inconvenient spot to occupy in Lagos Danfo.
