Lagos, Nigeria

I grew up in the city of Lagos. It is Africa’s second most populous city (7th in the world)
The city of Lagos lies in south-western Nigeria on the Atlantic coast in the Gulf of Guinea.

Lagos is Nigeria's most prosperous city, and much of the nation's wealth and economic activity are concentrated there. The commercial, financial and business centre of Lagos and of Nigeria remains the business district of Lagos Island, where most of the country's largest banks and financial institutions are located.

Lagos is served by Murtala Mohammed International Airport, one of the largest airports in Africa and the top international air passenger gateway to Nigeria. It is also the centre of the Nigerian film industry, often referred to as 'Nollywood.' There are lots of beaches, restaurants where one can visit to have fun and have a good meal. If you want to have fun and have worthwhile experiences go to Lagos, Nigeria.

This is very interesting. I would like to hear more about the Nigerian film industry. I didn't know about that. What is your favourite Nigerian movie?

I would also love to hear more about Lagos and what it means to you personally. You sound a little like an encyclopedia here.
