The Thread: ‘There is one annoying thing about Nigeria… elitism’

If you didn’t know, Lagos Photo Festival is an annual event popular within the Arts and Culture circle in Nigeria. It run by Azu Nwagbogu that feature. It’s one of those really major Lagos events where you find the ‘cool kids’ in and around Eko Hotels. But the more serious part of it is the exhibition that showcases both local and international photographers.

@LagosPhotoFest is yet to respond so it is hard to tell whether this is just a case of angry follower or an artist seeking attention? Or is @LagosPhotoFest really projecting the elitist behaviour many Nigerians exhibit?
