Motorcycles

So I thought I would take some time to tell you about the motorcycles here in Nigeria. Its been one of the most interesting things to see here. I know that sounds odd but I've never seen anything quite like these.

Because its very hard to earn enough money to buy a small car many Nigerians have little motorcycles they ride around on. So in the city of Kaduna there are literally thousands of motorcycles all over the road. The funniest thing about that is they use them not only for transportation but for hauling goods as well. So far we've seen the following.

1. Goats being carried on them

2. A mattress being carried

3. A man sleeping on his seat of the motorcycle.

4. And the best one---SIX people on one motorcycle. Several were children but still that's a lot!!

Its a sight to see! I'm going to try to get a picture of one and upload to facebook for you all to see!

Stay tuned...
