Is Lagos safe for women?
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
