This is not London Bridge.
This is not the Amazon rainforest.
This is not Hawaii.
This is Lagos.
Lagos is the economic heart of Nigeria
and one of the fastest growing cities in Africa.
Everything in Lagos is huge, especially the traffic jams.
But did you know that in the center of the city, you can explore wildlife?
You can be sure to spot a monkey.
I'm literally about to walk on one of the longest canopy walks in all of Africa.
From the top you can get amazing,
unobstructed, 360-degree views of the city.
The Lekki Conservation Center was built as a reserve sanctuary for the rich flora and
fauna within the Lekki axis.
It is home to the longest canopy walkway in Africa.
And the center is definitely a breath of fresh air
in the midst of the hustling
and bustling city that is Lagos.
Especially with its crazy traffic too.
Here, there's something for everybody.
With its canopy walk,
boardwalk and tree houses
it's ready for families and team buildings as well.
If you are a seeker of adventure, this place is for you.
Let's go to the next spot.
So here I am walking alongside the beautiful beach that is
Landmark Beach right here in Lagos.
Landmark Beach is located on the beautiful shoreline
of the Atlantic Ocean.
Now a lot of people come here for its numerous activities,
like volleyball.
Okay guys, to win we have to come together.
You take the left, you take the right, I'll be in the middle.
In the middle of a hot day, you need something refreshing
to cool you down.
Hello.
Hi.
One coconut, please.
Thank you.
Cheers.
That's it.
Let's go.
Landmark Beach is definitely a bucket list place to visit
for every tourist in the city of Lagos.
Or if you're looking at spending a day at the beach with family and friends.
I am here at a local Nigerian spot that a lot of locals come to
for an amazing dish called Amala.
It's none other than Amala Sky.
Let's go.
Amala is made from yam or cassava flour,
or sometimes unripe plantain flour.
It's a traditional Nigerian dish served with ewedu,
which is a classic Yoruba soup
and often considered a swallow, which is starchy food or grains
such as eba, pounded yam, or fufu.
It already smells amazing, but you know what?
I'll be the judge of that.
Nigeria, being such a diverse country with various ethnic groups,
the country offers a plethora of food.
From the world famous jollof rice
to banga soup and many more mouthwatering dishes.
I love sharing fun facts with you guys.
Here's a funny one about eating in Nigeria.
No matter how full you are, you are never, and I mean never,
too full to finish your meat.
Well, that was a delicious meal.
I don't chop belly full.
What better way to sit back and relax and digest your food?
And to engage the mind while painting.
The culture of learning the art of painting has become a trendy activity in Lagos.
Those that offered the activity focus on the fun and relaxation
associated with the art and creativity.
Hello!
Hi!
Hi, so nice to meet you!
Nice to meet you!
Welcome to Cera Cerni's Creative Hub!
Thank you so much!
So, what are we going to be doing today?
Ok, the moment you step in here, you're an artist.
I'm an artist!
Bibi Basquiat, see!
So just embrace the energy of the artist and let it show for us.
So you can have your seat and bring out the Picasso in you.
I told you already Bibi Basquiat now.
Yes, Bibi Basquiat.
We don't know what's gonna come of this,
but you know what? It's never too late to give it a go.
This must be one of the best ways to unwind.
Art is therapeutic.
Woah, Nah, I'm kidding.
Wow, I have thoroughly enjoyed today.
You've already seen all the things that I've gotten done in just one day.
You can imagine how much more there is to do and see right here in Lagos.
I even got the souvenirs to show it.
Anyway, it's about that time that I show you what the sunset looks like in my city.
Let's go.
Lagos is known for its vibrant nightlife.
And people love to party on this side of the equator.
There are a number of bars, beachside bars, pubs and nightclubs,
where one can enjoy a variety of music whilst having a drink.
What better way to end the day than to sit back, relax, and enjoy a cocktail
as you watch the sunset.
Lagos City never dulls and there's always something to do
whether it's the daytime or the nighttime.
Cheers!
It's been so much fun showing you my beautiful city of Lagos.
Until next time, catch you guys on the flip side.
Bye!
