Nigerian photographer and musician Ty Bello was doing a photo shoot with British musician Tinie Tempah in the city of Lagos. It looks like an early morning, and you can see people in the background. As they were shooting, a bread vendor walked by on her way to work and Bello snapped a few pictures with her in them. Bello was impressed with the woman’s look and wanted to find her again. The caption of this picture says,
BEATIFULX : WHO IS SHE.Every one has been asking if this lady is a model .. It was just perfect coincidence ... She just happened to be walking by while I photographed . It happened so fast .She definitely SHOULD be a model. .. I'm happy to help her build a portfolio if she's interested .She's so beautiful and photographed so well. I'll find a way to track her down somehow . You guys can also help
Nigerian Instagram followers helped her find Olajumoke Orisaguna, a 27-year-old mother of two from a distant village who came to Lagos for work. Bello arranged to photograph Orisanguna for the magazine This Day Style and tell her story.
Orisanguna became a sensation in Nigeria, and has since signed with a modeling agency. Read the whole story and see more pictures at Buzzfeed.

The only one that made me actually laugh was the first one with the oven plastered to the front of the truck. That was legit funny to me. The rest just seemed... incredulous. I stand by my earlier statement though. Even doing all that horrible stuff, they were probably still hounded for being late.
