A Street in Lagos

Omayemi Mac-Jaja

Lagos, in the context of geopolitical classification, is a metropolitan city. Lagos is one of the 36 federating states in Nigeria made up of 20 major towns and 24 villages.

The multi-ethnic nature of the place made it hard to get a good grip on the the place.

Most visitors who come to Lagos are here for business, and touristic infrastructure is lacking a bit. The huge city does have an interesting museum filled with replicas of some of the best African Art you can find in Europe and the US. There are good beaches nearby, and in places like Ikeja or in Bar Beach there is always something going on - even if it is just a huge "go slow".

Beaches such as Alpha in Lekki, Wispering Palms in Badagry etc, are ideal places for fun seekers.
