City of Dreams

Anyone hardly misses the three white men who bid visitors welcome into this city; the lines of fame and infamy are thinly drawn in the minds of many. But reality is often quite a personal thing, everyone with their own experience and story.

      

With a rich history and very vibrant future, there’s all to live for in the city of dreams.

Life’s tough in this city, it makes minced meat of unsuspecting victims, yet the influx into this intricate geography is amazing, its bowels swell by the day. But that, perhaps is what makes the city so formidable, its diversity, its experience, its wealth; unparalleled.

It struggles to maintain its grace, what is left of its natural beauty. It’s still quite striking when you watch it slowly begin to submerge, until its totally immersed in the yellow rays of the sun; resplendent, picturesque.

And so begins the rush, the exchange of vitality for cheddar; oh the city will drain you, it’ll jolt you from your reverie. The ritual of worthiness is a daily tradition.             

                                                            

The city encourages you, it lets you catch a glimpse of your prize; it beckons on the brave but sometimes turning on its own.

The truth is, immortality awaits those who are bold enough to take the city, drag it by the scruff and subdue it.

Welcome to Lagos, the city of dreams.
