A resent census found 8 million residents making Lagos Africa’s most populous city after Cairo; the UN expects that the figure to reach 20 million by the end of the next decade. The governor thinks it will even get bigger. He says that Lagos must plan to be a “mega-city” of 40 million souls by mid-century.What chance has he of crafting a functional city and where is he going to get the space I mean the land?Tow striking questionsLEKKI: Ibeju-Lekki is a local government area in the Epe Division of Lagos State, Nigeria.Original name: LekkiGeographical location: Ibeju-Lekki, Lagos, Nigeria, Africa geographical coordinates: 6° 25' 0" North, 4° 6' 0" East (http://www.maplandia.com/nigeria/lagos/ibejulekki/lekki/)Take a drive to Victoria Island, find your way through Ozumba Nbadiwe down to Lekki first roundabout, tell me what you see, that is just a tip of the ice bag, drive on to Ajah , be careful do not look too mush, I think its better you take a walk or fly on an chopper if you can afford it, why?
