5 Reasons Why I Love Lagos City (Read If You
Don ’t Lagos )

If you have known me for a while, you will
attest to the fact that I am a die-hard fan
of Lagos city. My friends will tell you that I
would rather choose the best Lagos has to
offer as against relocating to Europe.
Worst of all is that I find it difficult
adjusting to life in any other state in
Nigeria. The long and short of it all is that I
love Lagos. These are my reasons;
Lagos as Center of Excellence
Literally Lagos is a center of excellence.
Whatever field you play in, the moment you
decide to compete at the highest level, Lagos
should be your destination.
If you can beat the level of competition in
Lagos, then you are really good at what you
do. Lagos standard is global standard. If
you are seen to be good in Lagos city, then
you are good anywhere in the world.
That is why it is not surprising to see Fashion
designers from this city rock international
runway with their designs, filmmakers shut
down international film festivals, music
artistes that have conquered this city have a
global platform and Local businesses giving
multinationals a good run for their money.
Lagos is the Hollywood of Africa
Lagos runs show biz like no other. Every
entertainer that wants to attract global
attention desires to play in Lagos.
I can arguably say that in Africa, our music
industry is the best and most viable, our
movie industry is the best, our fashion
industry is the biggest, our comedy industry
is the fastest growing and when compared to
other Nigerian cities, Lagos City is the best
tourist destination with lots of options.
Lagos is a Land of Possibilities
I am not saying this to mean that things are
not possible in other Nigerian cities, but being
an economic hub creates a lot of possible
options for anybody no matter where you
come from.

As a stand-alone, Lagos economy is the fifth
largest economy in Africa and will become
the third largest by 2019 according to
experts. How many states in Nigeria have the
capacity to produce billionaires that are
strictly private sector driven?

There are billionaires in Lagos state that has
no affiliations whatsoever with the
government house.
In Lagos state, anybody can become a multi-
millionaire irrespective of their age, sex,
tribe, religion or political affiliations. If you
raise your game, this land will produce for
you.
Lagos as a Networking Hub
No man is an Island of himself. In our
journey to greatness, we will always need to
leverage on relationships. No matter what you
want to do, there are people that have gone
ahead of you in that venture.
Lagos state provides you with a pool of
friends, mentors, leaders, disruptors and
influencers. The richest black man in the
world sleeps and wakes up in this city.
Who is it you are looking for? Africa’s finest
entrepreneurs, Media Moguls, A-list Bloggers,
Tech-disruptors, show biz promoters, Leading
Gospel Acts, Corporate Executives,
Motivational Speakers and Life coaches are
all here.

No matter how big the person is, in Lagos, he
or she is just one person away from you. You
can easily access help, mentorship and
training.

Lagos is a home for all

Lagos is arguably the most accommodating
state in Nigeria even though it is also one of
the most expensive cities in the world. Lagos
has something for everybody irrespective of
your social class.
No matter how broke or economically
disadvantaged you are, you will always fin d
a house you can afford, feeding is not a
problem, flexing is guaranteed as there are
free fun spots and shows.
I don’t know of any other state where you
can visit a food vendor and order rice- 50
Naira, beans- 30 Naira, kpomo – 20 Naira,
spaghetti – 30 Naira, plantain-20 Naira. In
this same city a plate of food goes for 15,000
Naira. Choose your poison.
