Well, Lagos is divided into two popularly known as Lagos Island and Lagos Mainland. Lagos island is for the wealthy aristocrats, it's also a place that attracts investors from all over the world. Lagos mainland on the other hand is pretty rough and notorious for criminal activities. But, as a foreigner exploring Lagos be it on the Island or mainland, the locals are really welcoming. The only thing that a foreigner should be aware of is safeguarding their important documents and money

Located on the southwestern coast of Nigeria, Lagos is an incredibly vibrant and pulsating city known for its teeming population and rich cultural heritage. This dynamic metropolis, brimming with life is not only the largest city in Nigeria but also the largest on the African continent. Characterised by its bustling markets, booming music scene and a stunning array of impressive artwork, Lagos is the home to Africa's world-class film industry – Nollywood. The city is blessed with an abundance of natural beauty, such as the stunning Lekki Conservation Centre, beautiful landscapes, and a wide array of beaches that are perfect for relaxation. Additionally, attractions like the Lagos National Museum, filled with national treasures and artifacts, Freedom Park, a symbol of the nation's history, and Tafawa Balewa Square, a national monument, offers a captivating insight into the history and future of Nigeria.

Nigeria, located in West Africa and flanked by the Atlantic Ocean on the eastern side, is a vibrant blend of cultures, landscapes, and wildlife. As Africa's most populous country, Nigeria is famous for its diverse ethnic groups, each contributing to the rich tapestry of culture and tradition. It's acclaimed for its music – Afrobeat and highlife, as well as its literature, boasting a Nobel laureate in Literature, Wole Soyinka. Nigeria is also home to various UNESCO World Heritage sites, such as the Sukur Cultural Landscape and Osun-Osogbo Sacred Grove. Its eclectic wildlife is showcased in reserves such as the Cross River National Park and Yankari National Park, with sightings of rare primate species and warm springs respectively. The hustle and bustle of Lagos, its largest city, offer a stark contrast to the serenity of its beautiful beaches like Calabar beach and Tarkwa Bay.

Due to a high-risk security situation, travelers considering a trip to Nigeria are urged to reconsider. The U.S, Canadian, and Australian Governments have all issued warnings against non-essential travel to Nigeria, citing concerns such as terrorism, kidnapping, violent crime, civil unrest, and the presence of armed gangs. Certain areas pose a higher risk with unpredictable security situations, including the capital city, Abuja. Should you choose to travel, ensure you stay updated on current risks and exercise extreme caution.

My experience in Lagos was fun, adventurous, though the traffic there is hell but I still enjoyed my stay there. Good food, nice people, nice and busy place to visit. It's somewhere you just need to visit  and you will live your experience with the right people or person
