Lagos is the former capital of the most populous country in Africa. It’s the commercial nerve centre of Africa. The population of Lagos is around 25 million. Lagos is a land of opportunities. Everyone can get something to do no matter the level of work or education. In Lagos are seaports and airports. These and many others makes the daily entry into Lagos so many. Many graduates and non-graduates think of Lagos first before other places when they think of making something worthwhile with their lives.

I have been in Lagos before and even schooled and worked there. Recently, I travelled to Lagos and the commercial driver of the vehicle I boarded said ‘one has to be mad or crazy to live in Lagos’. That got us talking and got me thinking too. Why are people who live in Lagos said to be crazy or mad? Here are some thoughts and reasons.

1. Lagos roads almost never sleeps. The roads are busy 24 hours and round the week and month and year. People are always on the road and on the move.

2. The traffic in Lagos is something else. If you are going from one point in Lagos to another point you will need to live your destination at least 2 hours ahead of your appointment time. Due to the heavy traffic a trip of 20 minutes can last 2 hours.
