Why Exactly Are Certain Areas Of London Called "little Lagos" by papas: 1:53pm On Aug 11, 2009 |
Well I came across this recent report on the BBC news page with what seems to be the reporter stating that -"Little Lagos" was coined in reference to high crime levels in the area called Thamesmead. I oppose the notion that Lagos is widely associated with high crime levels, such that areas with high levels of crime can then be called 'Little Lagos'. Lagos done suffer!!! http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/8193884.stm |

Lagos is not synonymous with crime in my opinion. |
