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

Nigeria
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

My name is Omotoke from Nigeria, a travel Twitter and blogger currently overloading Africa, i prefer staying with local host to 5-star hotels and staying in hostels a few times just to refuel. I love meeting new people, learning new cultures and experiencing things i wouldn't do/know in my comfort zone. I can offer local advise, show people around and when i get a space host people coming to Nigeria. I have travelled to all 36states in Nigeria do trust me i have so much advise to dish out.. I want more people to travel Africa and love it
