Even though Lagos is no longer the capital city of Nigeria, it is still the most populous city in Nigeria. It is the second fastest-growing city in Africa and the seventh in the world. According to World Population Review (WPR), the Lagos State Government estimates the population of Lagos at 17.5 million, a number that has been disputed by the Nigerian Government and found to be unreliable by the National Population Commission of Nigeria, which puts the population of Lagos at about 21 million in 2014. This latest reports automatically makes it the biggest city in Africa. Lagos is an old town bordering on the Atlantic Ocean, with over 2,000 years of history. Lagos was once the capital of Nigeria and had a population a bit less than 300,000, which is equivalent to the population of today’s Bradford. Surprisingly, in just about five decades, Lagos has grown to become Africa’s most populous city and also one of its economic powerhouse (Center of Commercial and Industrial Activities).

In recent years, Lagos has become Africa’s most bustling city. It holds an economy that seems to be comparable to that of Ghana and Morocco, therefore contributing a reasonable quota to the country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP). In addition, it is the main port of the country and a meeting point for international organisations. After carrying out a careful research, we bring you typical pictures of how the great city looked 50 years ago. After a close scrutiny of the pictures, you will notice that Old Lagos can be compared to Old London. The structures were orderly and stylish. In fact, the city was well planned in the 60s. After you have viewed this pictures, you will agree with me that old Lagos was harmonious.
