Christian Purefoy’s Epic Nap! On 3rd Mainland Bridge | PLUS More Unusual Shots
Allow us to introduce you to Christian Purefoy! (for those who don’t know…)
The CNN Correspondent for West Africa, once a host for ‘African Voices’, had worked at the network for 7 years, and resigned in 2012. But he loved Lagos so much he stayed here, and started Battabox.
He always hits us with observations about the city via his @purefoyAMEBO handle and yesterday was no different, but it was in that he took epic shots of the usually busy streets and highways – empty and some being used for other things!
Lagos. Mega-City. 15m people. Noise. Go-Slows. But once, every 4 years, you can take a snooze on 3rd Mainland Bridge: pic.twitter.com/caSmkZnRr4

Lastly, here may have only been a few cars riding round during the curfew but the toll gate was like, “#BBHMM”!
We hoped for free crossing today but business as usual at Lekki bridge 😀 pic.twitter.com/6M2Hy4TED8 — Christian Purefoy (@purefoyAMEBO) April 11, 2015
