Describe Lagos In A Few Words by babysmart(f): 7:25pm On Sep 16, 2014
I recently read a book titled 'How to be a good Lagosian' and being an indigene of lagos myself I jst felt proud to be able to call Lagos state my state of origin.
Lagos is the mother of all states because lagos has been home to people from all parts of the country frm years back and it will continue to be. This is why when u call someone a Lagosian, the person may not necessarily be an indigene of d state but someone who has stayed in lagos long enough to adapt to the hustle nd bustle, the energy which lagos is well known for.
To some people Lagos is home, to some its an energy, a force, to some its a training ground, anoda says it is an exciting city of chaos,some jst love the bukas and food, to some its a sea of people, for all and none....
So...what is ur definition of lagos?...what do u love about lagos?....
For me....its a city of life and I jst love the water smiley

hustle and bustle in lagos, jumping on and off bikes to get to destinations in time, waking up as early as 4 to beat traffic. i mean the life in lagos isn't worth it. though its a megacity but I can't live in lagos. its fkd up

I was born and brought up in Lag in the outskirts of Ajegunle. Later my family moved down to Badagry. Though I'm quoting you from school (FUT ,Owerri). Life in owerri is cool and easy. No troubles and noise like everyday lagos. Wish my family could relocate down here...

if you are travelling by road and you fall asleep in the bus, ... the noise, the aura, the uniqueness of Lagos will wake you up when you enter. No body need to tell you say you don enter lag. then you begin to wear ur shoe because you dont want to lose your bag/luggage when them open the boot for bus stop wey area boys plenty.

Dem no dey tell person WELCOME for Lagos oh! na WETIN YOU BRING FOR US dem dey ask for here. grin

Lagos is a city for the strong hearted and not for the week minded! The drive to make it is ever new..
Whether ♈όϋ are a graduate a not, opportunities yapa! Unless ♈όϋ D̶̲̅ε̲̣y blind to see am..make Ūя̲̅ research well and ♈όϋ will get to find out that most of the people that makes in Lagos are outsider!..
...and make sure ♈όϋ have Ūя̲̅ 7th sense in full activation( cos the 6th one nor D̶̲̅ε̲̣y enough again)before stepping to Lagos .lol.
...and lastly, this is Lagos! shine Ūя̲̅ eyes! Shine am well well!
My Lagos, our Lagos!
