Lagos: the city that never sleeps (but sometimes takes a nap)

Lagos, also known as Las Gidi, is not just any city. It’s the city that never sleeps (except for when the power goes out).

Located in Nigeria, Lagos has a population of over 21 million people (give or take a few street vendors). And every single one of those people seems to be in a hurry to get somewhere. It’s like a game of Frogger trying to cross the street, but with way more horns honking.

Despite the hustle and bustle, Lagos has a certain charm. Maybe it’s the way the sun sets over the Atlantic, or the sound of the waves crashing against the shoreline. Or maybe it’s just the mouth-watering aroma of jollof rice and suya wafting through the air.

One of the best parts of Lagos is the traffic. It’s like a roller coaster ride, except without the safety harness. Drivers zig and zag, honking their horns and shaking their fists. It’s like a real-life game of Mario Kart, except instead of banana peels, there are potholes.

Lagos also has its fair share of beaches, including Bar Beach and Tarkwa Bay. But if you want to avoid getting swept away by the waves, you might want to stay on dry land and check out some of the local attractions.

There’s the National Museum, where you can learn about Nigeria’s history and culture. And if you’re feeling adventurous, you can take a trip to the Lagos Island Market, where you can haggle with vendors for anything from clothing to souvenirs to live chickens.

At night, Lagos really comes alive. With its many bars and clubs, there’s always somewhere to party. Just make sure you don’t get too carried away with the gulder and jagerbomb shots, or you might end up sleeping on the street (or worse, in a danfo).

All in all, Lagos is a city unlike any other. It’s chaotic, vibrant, and full of life. So if you’re ever in need of an adventure, hop on a plane and head to Las Gidi. You won’t regret it (unless you forget to pack bug spray).
