This is a picture-led post on what living in Lagos is like for me. This picture is of Lekki Link Bridge at night. It’s a fairly new bridge (having been commissioned in May 2013). The bridge is just over 1km long and is nice-looking offering pretty views of Ikoyi and Lekki.
Lagos is not for the faint-hearted. It’s a tough place and with so many people packed in a small place, it can feel crowded and claustrophobic. In spite of that, I love Lagos. Sometimes, I’m not even sure why. A big part of my love for Lagos is because I was born here, grew up…
I had a great time at Christmas – for a change, I might add. I usually hate Christmas at home to be honest but last year was different and for that, I am grateful. There was less plate-washing and more going out so I was happy. I wanted to let you know how the holiday…
If the last Living in Lagos post I did had a food theme, then this one has an ‘events in Lagos I went to’ theme. These weren’t society events so nobody get excited; they were mostly just things I liked and decided to go to. Most of these pictures were taken at night and are…

I love pizza and because of that love and because I care about you, my dear reader, I decided to sacrifice my time and (let’s be honest, nutrition gotten from proper food) to find the best pizza in Lagos. Most restaurants in Lagos offer pizza but my survey didn’t include proper restaurants, just ones that…
Nigerians tend to over-dress. I don’t know why that is so but it just is and nobody exemplifies it like people in Lagos. The average girl in Lagos would almost always rather be over- than under-dressed. I find it amusing when I see girls in stilletos at the salon or at the movies but maybe…
If you follow me on Instagram , you’ll know that I love ice-cream. It’s not like I have it everyday but it’s definitely a comfort food for me. (Is ice-cream even food?) Anyway, because of my deep feelings for ice-cream, I have searched far and wide (within Lagos, you understand) for the best ice-cream and…
This is not just any garden. It’s a stage. If you don’t believe me, look at the next photograph.
