Stopping the traffic...

Friday is a short work day here because the majority of staff go to the Mosque for prayers at 2. I was heading home at this time last week when I encountered another uniquely-Muslim experience. The traffic stopped. People abandoned their cars in the middle of the road and got out to worship. Its such a different kind of devotion.
Its one of the many things I was told about before I came to Nigeria, but didnt really believe until I saw it...
