Disorderly, noisy, dirty (air pollution especially)... Every body seems to be in a hurry in Lagos. Commercial motorcycle (I pray they are banned soon) riding at top speed on the wrong side of the road even on the expressway. In Lagos if you want to cross the express where there is no pedestrian bridge you must first look right, look left and right again before crossing else you find yourself in Igbobi (no thanks to the notorious, unruly okada riders). For me, Lagos is a no. I was born in Lagos, schooled there...in fact, I've live there 95% of my life. I have since left and pray nothing takes me back there permanently. There is this thing...once you leave Lagos to live in other cities like Enugu, Uyo, Abuja, PH, Ibadan, etc. and stay for 6months and above you will suddenly hate Lagos life. My opinion though. 1 Like |

I met an Irish guy in 1997 visiting Lagos (Nigeria) for the first time. I sought his opinion on Lagos, and he replied: "If the world were to be a large a*s*s, Lagos would be its anus." 2 Likes |

After spending 95% of my life in lagos, I concluded the 'lasgidi state of mind' is just what you need to survive in this country... Just then , i was proved wrong. I went to a beautiful, peaceful and nicely organised city (CALABAR) and i asked myself why i would want to return to Lag again,but here i am again! In my few words : ''LAGOS IS UNIQUE..'' EKO ONII BAJE OO |

babysmart: 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. @babysmart1 Which of the "Lagos" are you refering to? [1] Lagos Island [the Island of Lagos]? or [2] Lagos State? The former British administrative capital of Nigeria was located in the Marina axis of Lagos Island [the island of Lagos] till 1991. An Lagosian is an indigene of Lagos Island! An indigene of Lagos State from the Ijebu axis [Epe LGA, Ikorodu LGA, and Ibeju-Lekki LGA] will NOT agree to being called Lagosians. They are LAGOS Ijebu. Someone who lives in Lagos is a Lagos RESIDENT and NOT a LAGOSIAN. Funny enough, I have heard Gov. Fashola - and indigene of Lagos Island who was born in 1963 make the mistake of refering to all Lagos residents as Lagosians - which is wrong! From time, an indigene of Lagos Island is a Lagosian. By the way, I'm in my 40s and find it strange that Gov. Fashola makes that that mistake like some others do - which simply means that on the subconscious level he has also been infected by the herd instinct. Anyway, the two Lagos entities [Lagos Island and Lagos State are massive bundles of CONTRADICTIONS! Enough said!

babysmart: interesting comments...i appreciate...pls keep dem comin @babysmart OK! I understand YOU! Lagos State administrators in the near-future should start thinking of reclaiming land from the sea ala Eko Atlantic and also building more high-rise buildings to maximize space for future population growth instead of the scattered bungalows we see around here. |
Re: Describe Lagos In A Few Words by babysmart(f): 1:30pm On Sep 17, 2014 |
Konquest:actually I'm nt sure dat it's a gud idea to reclaim land frm sea although fashola has a gud motive....bt den Lagos is d lagoon state...also I think u av a gr8 misconception by thinking dat Lagos is made up of scattered bungalows...I may nt av travelled wide bt I bet dat most of d finest nd tallest buildings in Nigeria ar found in Lag. |

Lag is just that lag. The hustle is rough here if only traffic to frustrate you, people bashing your rude then either begging or holding ground. Lagos ain't for the faint hearted. Here The hustle us real. |
