Lagos, 1982: rare documentary footage of Tinubu Square, Lagos Island's busy commercial heart, plus the city's roads and street scenes. Features an interview with O. A. Adeosun, then MD of NAL Merchant Bank. Much has changed, but the energy remains.

Lagos, 1974.
This documentary footage captures a city growing faster than it could cope. Migrants poured in from across Nigeria, hoping to find work and a better life.

Dear IBos,
This is an Awori king, the Paramount ruler of the Isolo kingdom and he has frankly called out the Ibo representative who went on air to call aboriginals minorities in their own land.
Before I forget, but una say Aworis are not Yorubas

Lovely
There was a time people flew a thousand miles just to holiday in Lagos.
Archival footage of travellers touching down in Lagos, not to escape, but to relax, explore and enjoy the city.
Today, a lot of us are flying a thousand miles in the opposite direction, and calling it “japa.”
So what changed? The city, the planning, or the people in charge of both? Watch the reel, then decide for yourself.
Lagos was once a destination. Some of us are still waiting for the sequel.
