The Video of Lagos in 1960

Lagos is in Lagos State in South-Western Nigeria. It is bounded on the west by the Republic of Benin, to the north and east by Ogun State with the Atlantic Ocean providing a coastline on the south. Lagos is made up of a collection of islands surrounded by creeks that fringe the mouth of the Lagos lagoon on the southwest. It is separated from the Atlantic Ocean by a stretch of loosely connected barrier islands and sand spits.

Lagos means "lakes" in Portuguese, the language of the first Europeans to arrive at the land already long inhabited by the Awori which belonged to the Yoruba people. To the Awori, the area was initially known as "Oko".[3][4] Later on, the Kingdom of Benin dubbed the local settlement "Eko", before the Portuguese would refer to it as "Onim" and later "Lagos".[4]

To differentiate the modern settlement from the older kingdom in the area, the name "Onim" has been applied to the latter by some historian such as Toby Green.
