Hey, hey, everyone, i'm glad to be here to share with us the activities in lovely Lagos state, in my country, Nigeria. Lagos state is the talk of the day by citizens and foreigners in the country, Nigeria. Lagos state is a proper and a powerful gateway for Nigerians to everywhere in the world. Lagos is a state of influence, opulence and affluence, it's an island with so much opportunities.
Though no more the capital city of the country right now. It's still bound as a never do without city concerning everything happening in the country because of it's georaphical location and it's industrialization position.. Lots of producing industries and goods of all sorts from the ordinary sweet and biscuits we know, to every family larger daily usages are comfortably produced in this city.
It's a production hub of the country, places like matori, Ilasamaja area, Ilupeju and Isolo municipal councils are heavy production zones in the state.
I just want to focus only on these few topics.....
Sea port and Airport:
The Lagos Sea port is located in the Apapa Tincan Island in Lagos Island. That's also known as the Lagoon area. You know Lagos state is an Island surrounded by water, we therefore has the mainland and it's suburbs. The Oworonshoki bridge divided the state into many parts. As we also have Ijora causeway bay, Ikeja and many other local government areas. Logos is a very rich and affluence state of honour to Nigerians all around the world.
It has a beautiful international airport known as the Murtala Murhammed international airport and quality sea ports for off take and docking of both international air crafts from all around the world there are cargos taking off and docking of container loads of goods from abroad and cargo ships.
Lagos state is, a Nigerian most populous state, and also known as The " City of excellence " with so many beaches, tourist attractive centers, beautiful housing estates and centers for so many lovely encient and modern edificies attracting both citizens from the inter lands and foreigners as well.
Lagos state is a solid state representing so many things for Nigeria and Nigerians.
Has model and modern housing estates scattered all around the state, the trendy environment now is the Lekky Ekpe region where the buildings resemble. American houses but very exhubitant, both the landed properties and already built houses are extremely expensive that has made it an exclusive region for the rich. Not for everyone to reside in.
The poor and clustered areas are for both the poor and middle class to dwell, thereby segregating people from each other or from one another.
Lagos state is the most populous city in Nigeria.
Lagos state is an investment hub of Nigeria.
Lagos state is the center of entertainment and night Livestream of enjoyment in Nigeria. And so many other activities too numerous to mention here.
Welcome to Lagos state, a city that never sleeps.
I would like to talk about Lagos state on these few points of mine;
Geographical location.
Sea ports and Air port.
Population.
Businesses.
Fashion and trends.
Financial economy.
Accomodative characters.
Government area councils
Inflation.
Yeruba Language is spoken in Lagos.
Rainfall is very consistent in Lagos because of the geographic humidity of the city.
Population.... The population of Lagos state is a sourge. I mean people from all works of life troop into this city in a greater numbers on daily basis. Without control. One may not actually estimate how many the populace are, the fact being that it's been quite a very long time Nigeria, my country had her census to ascertain the number of people in the country's population. Both the living and the dead.
Moreover, at the beginning of another year as now, many relocations to Lagos for a better living are made. This includes both the skilled, professional, knowledgeable and the unskilled labour. The workforce is top-notch, people moving from east, west, north and south looking for a better living for themselves and their loved ones are coming in in clusters. Basic amenities keep rising, like house rentals and food.
Businesses ... As we know that businesses ranges from exchange of goods and services and all other genuine labour people embrace that can put food on their tables. Market women and men, all sorts of buying and selling. I do not even know how to describe what goes on in Lagos state to the world. In every large population, there are as well negative vises, Lagos state is not exceptional. Both the good, the bad and the ugly are found in this state. Life is tough in Lagos state, transportations and distances is a lot of havoc for the residents to coup with.
Fashion and trends.... Lagos state is so trendy in fashion and beauty. Lots of unique blends of appearances are traced to the daily fashion people wear and represent on daily basis from bankers trendy dressings to traditional marriages, weddings and other big occasions, parties and just name it, majorty of our fashonisters are Lagosians, trust Nigerians, immediately any fashion is in Vogue, everyone from other regions of the country will follow suit without wasting time, and we love it like that..😂.
Lagos state is a force of beauty, every fashionabe trending ideas in Lagos equally impact on every part of Nigeria. The same as all the negative vises trending in Lagos state, saturates all around other states of the country.
Lagos state is a serious focus for Nigerians. It's both a financial, business and economic hub of the nation. Lagos has in ages accomodated both workers and traders of all sorts even the none indigens of the Yeruba tribe that are the original people of Lagos state.
Financial economy... Lagos state is like the center of Nigerian financial economy. The headquarters of the financial institution, the central bank is largely built in Lagos Island. Then extended to other parts of the country. Both foreign currencies of all types and the local financial sectors, stock exchange house and economy. Remember initially i told us that Lagos state in Nigeria is a proper gateway in and outside the country, this surfice it to say that all world currencies are not left out. They're completely loaded in Lagos state.
Lagos state is an accomodative and a friendly state to all and sundry, accommodating all sorts of foreigners both tourists, business men and women from every part of the world. All countries embassies and consolates are found in Lagos state.
Lagos state has so many local government areas as the way every state in the country is divided for a better grassroot leadership and controls by the current and political ruling class and the leadership in the country, knowing that Nigeria is a politically governed country. There are known changes because of the quality services delivery being rendered to the people by the elected governor of the state of Lagos, governor Sanwu Olu of Lagos.
I myself and family resided in the Isolo local government area of Lagos state some years back, that's why i can boldly talk about the Lagos state i really have knowledge about.
Inflation.... Inflation is a menace in the country raveging every sector of the country. By this ruling political class of president Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the fuel subsidy was removed then fuel pump prices increased that most fuel stations are just selling fuel without the intentional government prices thereby affecting negatively on every atom of commodities in the marke place.
The heat and imbalance equation is getting hotter on daily basis more than the hell fire itself. It looks like no rescueer is on sight. Every usable commodities are on a very high prices, there are no government controlling price agencies or agents, sellers sale their wares at theirs own initiative as they chose or dimed fit.
This is the worst scenario/ situations the poor masses has found themselves. A situation that changes prices of any commodities that what ever you bought goods in the morning is actually never the same price you can get during the day.
Major and higher ranking offices and Banks has their headquarters in Lagos. We did not forget that Abuja is now the capital city of Nigeria, but no Nigerian is forgetting or will ever forget Lagos state in hurry. The beauty and attraction of this very city is undeniable.
As a Nigerian, if you haven't been to the City of Lagos, it seems you do not know much, or you are just a juu guy or a novis. We Nigerians love and appreciate the state of Lagos like Americans love and always mention the city of New York. Whether you have been to America or not, at the may mention of New York, it's kinda of haven on earth in all kinds of activities. We love Lagos state just like that.
In conclusion,
Lagos state has beautiful high rising buildings, quality road maps, certain cultural presentations as it's the land of the YERUBAS. They have their rich Yeruba cultures, food and ways of life that's also different from all other regions in the country.
Thank you for reading through, please add your comments and supports, i appreciate you all.
