    A train driver in the Netherlands has had a lucky escape thanks to a fortuitously placed art installation.

    A metro train in Spijkenisse, near the city of Rotterdam, crashed through a barrier at the end of the tracks shortly before midnight on Sunday.

    But rather than plummeting 10m (32ft) into the water below, the train was left suspended dramatically in the air.

    Turning the iconic Ghana Must Go bag into high fashion

    By Nduka Orjinmo
    BBC News, Abuja
    Published

    1 day ago

    IMAGE COPYRIGHTOBINNA OBIOMA

    Nigerian photographer Obinna Obioma is using creative ways to display an iconic West African plastic bag to reflect on migration.




    Recognised around the world in either its blue-white and red-white varieties, this once-nameless bag in West Africa has long been especially popular in markets across the region.


    But when in the 1980s hundreds of thousands of undocumented immigrants, most of them Ghanaians, hurriedly stuffed their belongings into them after being given short notice to leave Nigeria, it became known as Ghana Must Go.


    IMAGE COPYRIGHTOBINNA OBIOMA

    Easily foldable to fit inside the pocket and with an uncanny ability to manufacture an extra inch of space for one more item, the bag was favoured by the desperately departing Ghanaians.


    Since then, no-one has asked to be given "that woven matted bag" at the market, they just ask for a Ghana Must Go - a phrase that is also used in Ghana, despite the painful memories it stirs for some.


    "I remember questioning my parents and other older relatives about the origin of the bags as I found it to have an interesting name," said Obioma, who is based in New York.


    In Anyi N'Aga (Igbo for We Are Going), he reflects on how the bags have transcended their courier status and are used as a personified symbol of migration - "being used to carry not just belongings but also culture, heritage and memories", he said.


    IMAGE COPYRIGHTOBINNA OBIOMA



    IMAGE COPYRIGHTOBINNA OBIOMA



    Teaming up with Chioma Obiegbu, a Nigerian visual artist and designer also based in New York and fashion stylist Wuraola Oladapo, they create pieces which Obioma describes as a fusion of both western and African designs.


    "In some of the two-piece designs, the top is heavily influenced by western fashion aesthetics while the skirt was designed to mirror a West African wrapper.


    "There's also a gele [headpiece] which is traditionally identified as an African fashion statement," he said.


    IMAGE COPYRIGHTOBINNA OBIOMA



    IMAGE COPYRIGHTOBINNA OBIOMA



    "The bags connote migration not as a word to describe travel but as an actual living thing - with each border crossed - [a migrant] takes something new and leaves something behind," Obioma said.


    Born in Nigeria, he was first introduced to photography by his enthusiast father who took pictures at family outings and birthdays.


    IMAGE COPYRIGHTOBINNA OBIOMA



    But it was from his mother that he received his first camera after returning home from schooling in the UK and he credits his style of conceptual, portraiture and narrative photography to those formative years abroad.


    "I have found myself using photography to explore the human condition. Particularly issues pertaining to identity, culture and African heritage," he said.


    IMAGE COPYRIGHTOBINNA OBIOMA



    The Ghana Must Go bag has come a long way, including a ban imposed in 2017 by KLM and Air France, who said it could unravel and so clog up baggage delivery systems.


    The ban still remains despite protest at the time by Ghana authorities who described it as "not only insulting but smacking of racism and discrimination", given that the bag was commonly used by African travellers.


    The bag is also associated in Nigeria with being used by corrupt politicians to carry cash, especially during elections. It has kept this reputation even though many large transactions in the country are now carried out using technology, rather than cash.


    IMAGE COPYRIGHTOBINNA OBIOMA



    But Ghana Must Go bags are still very popular across West Africa and now come in different sizes and colours, from a yellow tree-patterned one to an ugly but durable grey favoured by traders of second-hand shoes.


    They are still cheap and have that seemingly magical ability to manufacture an extra inch of space even when they appear to be completely full.


    IMAGE COPYRIGHTOBINNA OBIOMA



    Obioma however wonders if it is time to drop the Ghana Must Go moniker.


    "I believe Ghana Must Go can be categorized as a derogatory slur which of course transcends Ghanaian nationals.


    "This begs to ask the question, should the name be changed, or the bags discontinued?" he asked.

    Black cabs are parked on farmland in Epping Forest, near London. The land is being rented by GB Taxi Services, to store its large fleet of London taxis. They're no longer being used because of a severe drop in demand, as coronavirus restrictions continue to reduce travel.
