Keke Napep
The Keke NAPEP Business in Nigeria is one aspect of transportation business that booming right now as we can see it in this painting. Even the conductor trying to call more passengers to come and board the keke napep.
As the population of Nigeria keeps increasing day by day, the need to move people from one place to the other is also on the rise. The transportation measures taken by governments don’t seem to contain the lapses. Evidence of insufficient transport means abound at the bus stops and rail stations. For instance, it is very common to spot people hanging on Train, commercial buses etc, in Lagos state.
Those who do it don’t find fun in risking their lives, the need to get home is suppressing the danger of hanging on a vehicle.
