Makoko
A city on stilts where life floats on water and community thrives under the Third Mainland Bridge.

Where Lagos breathes heavy and commerce becomes theatre in the heart of Lagos Island.
Pen Cinema
The beating intersection where five roads meet and Lagos' reflexes sharpen.

Living on adrenaline between Mushin and Surulere, where hope is stitched daily.
Itafaaji
Old soul territory where everybody knows your grandfather and memory lives in every corner.
Adekunle
A threshold between solid ground and floating world, where the bridge rises like a giant spine.
Eko Wenjele
The ancestral belly of Lagos where time doesn't pass, it circles.
Detty December
Where Lagos throws off its worries and dances like it owns the Atlantic.
Jibowu
Lagos' unofficial departure lounge where goodbye and welcome roll into one.

A suburb with steady heartbeat where people grow families, not brands.
