With Lagos, three words come to mind; business, pleasure, and traffic. It would be a gross injustice to describe it any other way. Characterised by its vigour and an intensely motivating atmosphere. Lagos can be viewed as the blood supply of the nation. The centre of excellence it is called, but if the nation was human, Lagos would make up its entire circulatory system. If the nation was a cup of coffee, this city is the cream that has risen to the top.

Lagos prides itself as a megacity primarily because of its location. It is popular opinion that a city is only as great as its inhabitants. The population of Lagos contributes a great quota to its megacity status. The population of a city’s working class largely accounts for its economic prowess and stability.
