Lagos, Nigeria is not known as a beautiful city.
It grew too fast on oil boom money in the 1970s and 80s. Aesthetics were not a big priority and the look became increasingly grey.
Lagos was also not known for its street art, until fairly recently when it became fully incorporated into a larger plan of what is referred to as, ‘urban regeneration.’
Street art suddenly went from outlaw to partner of the State.
Lagos is a mega city made up of a coastal section facing the Atlantic Ocean and several large islands.

The Falomo Bridge connects Lagos Island and Victoria Island. It’s important. The government spent billions on it but did not consider its impact on the people near the on-ramp in Ikoyi.
