Lagos, the most populous city in Nigeria as well as the whole of Africa, is a huge metropolis in the south-west. It used to be the capital before that title was given to Abuja. The city has three major islands: Ikoyi, Victoria and the main Lagos Island which is linked to the other two islands by bridges.
The hottest month is March; the coolest, July. There are two rainy seasons: the heavier one from April to July and the lighter one from October to November. Dusty Harmattan winds are prominent in the dry season from November to March. On an average, the daytime temperature is around 25°C.
With a population of around 15 million people, Lagos is Nigeria’s administrative and economic centre, with all financial institutions and the Nigerian film industry ‘Nollywood’ being centred here. It is also the chief port of Nigeria.
Lagos has proved to be the only place in West Africa where there is measurable safety and financial prudence where you can see what the govt is doing with the tax payers money. Lagos is also known to have set a record that will beat Dubai trade and property initiative in time to come.
However, the politics of bitterness must be discarded to make our Lagos the best in the world.
I am proud to be a Lagosian.

Too many laws with little or no effective enforcement is not good for the future of Lagos.
Beautifying the canals and waterways, coupled with the present drive by the Governor for revegetation, will definitely rank Lagos among the top ultra-metro-cities in the world. Thank GOD the pigeons are gradually coming back. A sweet reminder of my wonderful childhood in the old Lagos. Eko for show.

You have to know someone in Lagos before you can live and Lagos is also a place where all jobs you want is found but you must know someone before you can work. There is lot of arm robbery and it is not safe to go out in the night and things in lagos are expensive, but i like Lagos for one thing: it is a place for entertainment

Great city to live in! Lagos is a city where art and craft has its base, where everyone can live according to their abilities and it is just the only place where commerce has its place. Lagos remains the only city where immigrants dreams to live and it is just because of their great sustaintial and economic refills.

If you are going to your workplace assuming u stay on the mainland and your workingplace is on the island i would advice you to wake up early so as to beat the traffic .. lets say around 6:30. Then you must follow all traffic rules as in Lagos there are strict traffic rules, that must not be disregarded.

The island part of Lagos is such a sight to behold. And while you're at it check Badagry for some slave trade relics and the routes used. And in the night try going out to taste the yummy delicacies and enjoy nightclubs in both the island and mainland.
