This book takes readers on a journey through Lagos, exploring its historical evolution, its importance as the economic engine of Nigeria, and the daily rhythm of life that pulsates through its crowded streets. We delve into the megacity's culture, its ever-growing population, and the diversity of people who call it home. From the entrepreneurial spirit that drives the informal economy to the skyscrapers symbolizing financial power, Lagos is a city where opportunities abound, and survival demands ingenuity.
In Lagos: The City That Never Sleeps, we explore how this sprawling metropolis has adapted to the demands of rapid urbanization, the challenges it faces in areas like transportation, housing, and infrastructure, and the dynamic role it plays on the global stage. It's a city of extremes: where wealth and poverty, tradition and innovation, and chaos and order coexist. This book captures the essence of what makes Lagos so unique-its energy, its people, and its unstoppable forward momentum.
For those familiar with Lagos, this will be a love letter to its complexity and spirit. For those yet to experience it, I hope this serves as an invitation to explore one of the most fascinating cities in the world. Welcome to Lagos, a city that truly never sleeps.
