About this place
Lagos runs on Afrobeats and audacity, from rooftop lounges in Victoria Island and Lekki to the sweat-and-horns communion of the New Afrika Shrine in Ikeja, where Femi Kuti keeps his father's flame burning on Sunday nights. December — Detty December — is the season, when the diaspora flies home and the whole city becomes one long concert. Arrange drivers in advance; the traffic is part of the plot.
