Lagos EXPOSED!!!!!!!

 

WELCOME BACK YALLLLL

after my beautiful luxurious trip to tanzania, i decided to pack up and cross country hike a few thousand (around 3.5k) miles over to a city ive heard so much about!!😁lagos is nigerias as well as africas most populous city with over 24 MILLION people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! much like dar es salaam, it is also a former capital, with nigeria moving it to abuja in 1991. its nigerias primary economic hub too which means a lot to me cause money=cool😎😎😎


now i made it into the city at around 3 am, so i grabbed a room at the radisson blu ikeja hotel. it was an executive room which ran me a cool 387 buckaroos. 



now this room was niceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. it came with a minibar, in-room space, iron AND ironing board (all of which i stole 😝). also i managed to leave with several desks, a treadmill and stationary bike, and the front desk assistant cheryl (she says hi). i left at around 9 am after chowing down on that free breakfast and slid into my first destination. that destination? the lekki-ikoyi link bridge!!!



see now this photo i took makes it look a little spooky, and sure this was moments before i accidentally collapsed the bridge (ill get to that later). this bridge is the first EVER cable bridge built in nigeria, which makes it quite a cool feat. it was commissioned in 2013, and i came to visit just in time to celebrate its 10th anniversary💫💫💫i was about to take the refreshing .8 mile long journey across the bridge when i was rudely reminded that this is a toll bridge. i may or may not have thrown a little tantrum and destroyed all of the cables only to watch this beaut tumble into the water below it😓😓 ooooooooooooooooooooppppppppppppssssssssss sorryyyyyyyyyyyyyyy😅😅😅😅


sprinting away from the scene of the crime, i decided to visit the national theater!



this gorgeous theater was built in the 70s, and sadly its been sold to a dubai company and is eventually turning into a shopping mall but thankfully i got to visit it while it was still nigerias premier theater! the funny thing is is that this building was built to resemble a hat from a military uniform. it kinda makes me giggle. i couldnt go inside so i did tp the entire building in a fit of rage, but other than that i just loved it! 

now lagos has so much beauty and culture in it that i wasnt able to see because i was escaping the nigerian police force, but please come visit this beautiful city!!!
