That Christ Cathedral got my laughing out loud. That area was so cool in 1974. I see the reason why some pple will tell their other friends and brothers to go back to their regions cos they are spoiling their town. Lagos was really cool back then. That same area was where I got robbed in 2001. That area is so rough and with human traffic everyday. Nice job @OP.
