Hello loves,
Lagos is a bit more cosmopolitan and by extension a bit more liberal (some parts), so I can woman as I want (again, in some parts).
I love visiting Lagos. Oya let me leave this grammar. The gbas gbos, the laughter, the beautiful disaster (as I like to call it). The chaos, the hustle. If you like to people watch (I mean this almost loosely, as there really aren't benches to sit on) this is a city for you. Lagos is a fast-paced, eat or be eaten society. I could write a thesis on the extreme juxtaposition of rich and poor and the want of a middle class in such a convoluted yet stratified society. Let me not get started on the growing foreign presence in many business sectors of Lagos, in true Neo-colonialist taste. Everyone wants a piece of the pie.
I won't go much into the things I do or did in Lagos, as this city is home for me & I would be here for ages just typing and typing, haha. I would move back, if the price is right. It fits my lifestyle, my friends live there, and I could definitely see myself "thriving" in the society as it were. I will let my "50 things to Do", which I pretty much wrote from the top of my head (lagos friends, I need my accolades), do the talking :)
If you have any questions about places to stay, etc during your visit, please reach out to me, the Lagos expert. I think I will also add a Do's and Don'ts as Lagos is especially strict on silly rules, while lax on the extremely important ones. see what I mean about beautiful chaos?
