Opinion: Lagos Is A Boring City. by BedLam: 7:50pm On May 12, 2018
Honestly, I think Lagos is one hell of a boring city. As big and populated as it is you can't find anywhere for recreation. Yes, there are bars and restaurants and night clubs but do we have to eat and drink all the time ? There's some form of relaxation or activity one can do that doesn't involve any if the above but this is not the case with Lagos. Even the malls in Lagos are the worst that I've seen. Bland with no taste of architecture or arena for even kids. The beaches are nothing to write about, it's still all about drinking and eating there.
I feel sick whenever I have an extended stay in Lagos because it's killing and I like to do things and go to places. You barely find bars that have snooker. WTF!
For anyone who thinks Lagos is not boring should visit Nairobi or Johannesburg or Capetown.

that's why you should stop visiting Ikorodu all the time.

Ask questions and move around.

Mate I've been living in Lagos for the past 8 years and as I'm typing I'm at Kofo Abayomi which somehow the heart of Victoria Island and Lagos as a whole. What are you then saying ?

Name one thing I can do that doesn't involve going to a restaurant or mall. Cinema? Phew.

Sir, I was born in Lagos and can tell you there are many other places to hang out without having to drink or something.

I stayed in the Island of Mauritius for about two years and that was the first time i ever felt relaxed and happy in my life because of the parks, beaches and relaxation spots which were even close to my house. But i noticed that some Nigerians that i came in contact with were telling me of how they missed Nigeria, especially Lagos. Whenever i enquired from them what exactly they missed, they all said the same thing. The clubs, bar, joint, isi-ewu, Nkwobi, loud music and the chaos that lagos exemplifies and i wonder how some Nigeria like hard life like this.

If not for the economic value of Lagos, i wold have moved to a much slower and clam city.

Thank you. Lagos is for suffering. They spend half the day in traffic and go drink and eat on weekends and call it enjoyment. No parks to even relax. No place for children. No nice golf courses or beaches. Meanwhile in Berlin you see people trooping out this time of the year to enjoy the sun the parks and city centers.
I'm feeling sick already. embarassed

Try Abuja then. Plenty of relaxation spots and you can be outdoorsy there too. I think there is a new go karting place, trampolining and amusement centre for kids somewhere in Lagos though.I think they are quite recently opened.

As for me, it's Abuja over Lagos every time. Green, beautiful, quiet and relaxing.

That's the Upbeat Centre at Lekki phase 1 and it not just for kids. The place is quite fun but expensive.

Yeah, that's the one. I mentioned for kids because the op complained there is nothing for kids. Trust me, I'm not a kid but I will go there if I ever find myself in Lagos �
