| A failed attempt to capture a view of Lagos |
Lagos is crowded not just with persons but with cars and buildings and streetlights and flyovers and everyother thingy.
For the first time I see buildings that are taller than I
Buildings I look up to
And not look down on
Lagos is a taste of the good life.
It's also an evidence to the importance of nature.
Lagos shows the advantage and disadvantage of technology in a society.
Lagos maybe small on the map but large in life.
Lagos is a metaphor....it's beautiful and ugly.
It has both the good and the bad.
Life too...it has the good and the bad but if you anchor on Christ, you'll mostly be on the good part and only sail through the bad part.
Truly, it was once a country's capital. It's better now. Just like, if you pass through Christ, you'll be changed.
Lagos is the los Angeles of Nigeria...the unnecessary skyscrapers and beautiful night lights.
In a place like Lagos, you know that the beautiful ones are truly not yet born
You learn that material things are unending...so pursue the right things.
That new beauties of life are still incoming
That hardwork is an essential quality else you'll be caught up with the ugly side.
That despite all and all there is a God that must be acknowledged first.
Lagos is a city that never sleeps nor slumbers
The cars are always going
The cars are always coming
If you let God into, He watches over you without sleep or slumber
A city that shows that you can't go at life alone, you need to hold unto God and when you hold unto God, everything is certain...lines fall in pleasant places.
Lagos is organized....in tranport, in road map outs, in law, in governance, in banking and what not. And I just happen to love organized people and things.
Did I forget to mention the traffic? It's just a whole lot of craziness. You travel for 5 hrs to get to Lagos and spend 4 extra hours to get to your abode...wow! Goes to show that there's no beauty without imperfection but guess what? It's those imperfections that God uses to help us shine true
However, I don't know about living here but it's good for visiting.
There it is. Have any life related facts about Lagos? Use the comment section. It's for you.
Happy weekend
Love
