What Makes Jibowu Standout
Jibowu is goodbye and welcome rolled into one. Buses rev, conductors shout, night travellers sip Coke and pray for safe roads. Here, the whole of Nigeria passes through eventually. It is motion made human.
Key Symbols
Loading bays, ticket booths, travel signboards, bookstalls, headlights cutting the dusk, mothers tying children's zips before a night journey.
