Do people realize how large Lagos, Nigeria is?

Cool story bro

I didn't know that. I imagine it's a very clean, safe place.

I never heard of it before this thread, so my guess is "no"

16 million people. 5th largest city in the world. That's somewhat surprising.

Been there several times and it rivals Mumbai in poverty and squalor, but yes there are lots of people there.

You work for Shell?

Seems like a great place to meet hot chicks.

it is one hell of a big place...damn dangerous for white folk, too.

Nigeria is a very interesting county, it's government structure is very similar to the United States and is more developed that people might expect.

Just no Hugo, there are more unfinished abandoned buildings than any other place I have been, the last change of government was the first peaceful one in it's history. and there is sectarian violence hourly.

Everywhere I went required multiple armed guards to avoid being kidnapped and a bribe to conduct anything from a hotel room to immigration clearance. It is the definition of a third world shithole.

Nigeria, please

isnt that the city where the lights are turned off at night?
