INTRODUCTION

I have only been to five states in Nigeria. I was born in Kano State but grew up in Benin City. I have spent most of my life in Benin but staying in a particular environment or eating the same food daily, doesn't make it your favorite.
I have always loved to visit Lagos. My first time in Lagos was suppose to be a short visit, but when I got here, I refuse to go back to Benin. I decided to stay, to explore and take what Lagos got to offer me

MAJOR CHALLENGES IN LAGOS

As the saying goes " there are always two sides to everything". Lagos has its good sides and its bad side too.
Living in Lagos can be so frustrating and hectic, the traffic is terrific. You can be in traffic for hours because some of the roads are bad, some are under construction and also due to the increasing rate of migration. Lagos is congested.

CONCLUSION


Lagos is my favourite city, i am still exploring . You will love it here.
