1. Welcome to Lagos "Three Elders" Art Deco Statue

Arguably the most famous art deco statue in Nigeria, this art statue "welcome" you to Lagos, anytime, any day and any moment. It was built by Biodun Shodeinde in 1991 and was rehabilitated in 2004 after it was burnt down by angry protesters who believed the statue was the cause of incessant accidents on the ever busy Lagos-Ibadan expressway. It was also burnt down by angry protesters in 2012 during the subsidy protest under former president, Goodluck Jonathan. However, it was reconstructed and moved to Epe where it currently stand. The statue depicts the highest honour accorded through greetings to any individual in Eko culture.

op the statue is still at otedola bridge along alausa o.

maybe another one at epe .

GoggleB:
They burn down Statue during removal of fuel subsidy in 2012 but they are yet to do anything in 2016 even when hunger is killing naija people..

I dont know how statues are now responsible for every set back in the country.
I guess frustrated people will always look for something to vent on

2. Third Mainland Bridge

Do you know the official name of third mainland bridge? I bet many of you do not know it...lol (pun intended please). It is officially known as Ibrahim Babangida bridge. This particular bridge is the king of all bridges in Nigeria. When you talk about Lagos, you talk about this bridge. It is a vehicular bridge that link Lagos Island to the city mainland and was constructed by Julius Berger. The third mainland bridge, which is about 11.8km long, is the longest bridge in Nigeria and it is one of the three bridges linking the city. It took over 11 years to finish construction. The total cost of the bridge is unknown.

For six years, 1990-1996, third mainland bridge was the longest bridge in Africa. It was dethroned as king of Africa's bridges by the 22km long "6th October bridge" in Cairo, Egypt.

who construct it and what year

3. Oshodi Inter Exchange Bridge (Oshodi Bridge)

I bet you are so shock to see this structure on the list, well, don't be. I included it because it defines how busy the city of Lagos is. This inter exchange bridge, otherwise known as Oshodi bridge is so popular among Lagosians that over seven million of them use it daily, making it the busiest inter exchange bridge in West Africa - Murtala Muhammed airport don't have this much people patronising it. Its popularity level is so high that CNN ace presenter/reporter, Richard Quest, had to do a report about it.

you forget to mention the year it was built.

I like Lekki-ikoyi bridge

I like Lagos but I've only been there once..hoping to come back!

I hope you enjoyed the post? Please don't forget to share it.

NATIONAL STADIUM is the most popular

TBS was a home to the homeless until 2007. The stadium is right behind my secondary school, I was in s.s 1

Every activity going on there we watched for free instead of listening in class.
Anytime they have a major event, we close by 12p.m

Cathedral marina...ancient

I would add National Stadium, Surulere to the list.

Construction started during Shagari regime and was completed during Babangida regime in 1990. It took 11 years to construct.

Phagyrhe:
exactly! Our country needs serious prayers.

So prayers will come and fix it? What exactly are you praying for?

agoro2u:

you forget to mention the year it was built.

I tried hard to get the date but all proved futile.

So Fashola built a 1km bridge with N30B?

Chai.

Whoever gets into power finds way of stealing

Phagyrhe:
Yea....me too. But that bridge is way too expensive when compared to its contemporaries in other countries

corruption you mean?

Yes, the two you mentioned are popular but when you put into consideration the sheer size of people using or passing through the listed structures in the post, you will agree with me that they come behind.

Thanks for drawing my attention to that blunder. It has been corrected, thanks.

The Igbos' developed Lagos.

Phagyrhe:
I know you have probably visited Lagos at least once in a lifetime, or maybe you live in the city. Oh! You have never been there? Well, you have probably been hearing of the glory of Nigeria's largest, most industrial and developed city. You may have heard of the bubbling scenes, the strength of the city, the never-dulling moments, the stress and so many more. Hey, take a seat and relax because I wrote this post just for you. I want you to be familiar, at least to a considerable extent, with the most popular and symbolic structures in Lagos. These structures are not ranked based on beauty or whatsoever, they are structures which I considered to be most popular and accessed by an average Lagosian. Pardon me if I talk too much....lol.

Lagos, Nigeria's commercial capital city is soaring towards attaining the status of a megacity. For years, governments and private entities across all levels have painstakingly invested a fortune into the development of Lagos by constructing iconic structures which are accessible to all types of citizens. This article is part 1 in a series of popular structures that I will be writing about in coming days. So lets get down to business!
