Short description of Lagos
Lagos is the largest city in Africa, built across a lagoon and a chain of islands and growing faster than almost anywhere on earth. Lagos Island holds the old colonial core and the markets, Victoria Island and Lekki the towers and galleries, and the mainland the sprawl where most of the twenty million people live. It is the engine of Nigerian music, film and fashion, the home of Afrobeats and of Nollywood, and the New Afrika Shrine keeps the Fela Kuti tradition alive. Nike Art Gallery holds thousands of works across five floors.
