Lagos state as we all know is one of the busiest states in Nigeria and it was once the capital of Nigeria. Due to the colour of the commercial buses,she is also known as yellow city.
Lagos state is a place of commercial activity,where people of all tribes of Nigeria and all parts of the world convey.She is also referred to as the centre of aquatic splendour.

I lived in Lagos all through my childhood and attended primary and secondary school there. After which I decided to go to a university outside Lagos.
I just love it when I go back to Lagos and see the crowd and hear bus drivers shout their locations," yaba !yaba!! yaba!!! E wo le pelu changi o( enter with your change)"
So proud to be a lagosian....Eko o ni baje o,o ba je ti!!!!!
