Customs

 

Niger has one of the lowest literacy rates in the world. So shops have pictures showing paintings of what services or goods can be had inside. There are many interesting ones around like this one for a barber shop. Interestingly, most of the signs seem to be imported from Ghana. We tried to buy some of them from the shops, but most were unwilling to sell, or asked exhorbitant prices because it was rather difficult to get a new one.
