 Documenting Nigeria Dec 19

Samuel James has been drawn to Nigeria since he first read about its megacity Lagos in a New Yorker article by George Packer. A Synaptic Scholar at the IGL, he first traveled to Lagos with three other Synaptics during the winter of his sophomore year in 2006-07. Since then, he has returned to Nigeria for at least several months each year, first recording the urban challenges of Lagos, especially for those removed from formal government and economic structures, and then, over the last couple years, spending significant time in the Niger Delta.
