Nick Hagen, Lagos Gaming, 2013

Lagos Gaming is a photo essay by U.S. photographer Nick Hagen on Nigerian videogame players, first mentioned by Polygon. Hagen documents the game centers of Lagos, Nigeria as social and cultural hubs for the youngsters. It reminds me of Giovanni Fredi's work.  Hagen's photographs are splendid.
