Famous people like international star Cardi B, compared Lagos City to New York city, due to the bubbling nature that both cities have in common. Another common characteristics/history of both cities, is that they are the major financial centres of their respective countries and former Capitals.

Lagos can’t be compared to New York in any way, but Lagos city had also done well for herself. Lagos is one of the fastest growing cities in the world, it is also a major financial centre and the city with the fourth highest GDP in Africa

Lagos initially emerged as a port city that originated from the collection of many islands that are continued in the present day Local Government Areas (LGAs) of Lagos Island. Eti-Osa, Amuwo-Odofin and Apapa are separated by creeks that are around the Lagos lagoon.
