However, as I began my search, I found an article that shows pictures from an oil pipeline explosion in Nigeria. It was 
quite disturbing and I think gives a good image of what life is like in Lagos where the main character, Lomba, went to school. I couldn't help thinking that this is the kind of town he lived in. It amazed me, too, that this is similar to the picture I had in my head when he was describing Lagos.

I did also find pictures of colleges in Lagos. I think I tried to mention in class that the picture of the college I had in my head as I was reading was different from Western; very simple and sparce. The pictures here again kinda represent what I was picturing in my head. The first picture is of Yaba College of Technology in Lagos. 
The next college I found was Freedom Bible College and Seminary. It sounds like they do prison ministry there. One thing that shocked me about this college was the extreme difference in the cost of college. Without textbooks, the cost for an entire Bachelors Degree is only $300!
The final college photo from Lagos that I found was Bowen College. It sounds like this is a newer college that is only in its first phase and plans on expanding.

What a fascinating post.
Think how interesting it would be to visit one or more of these colleges, even to take a class there!
