If Lagos Locations Were Family Members
Sometimes I think Lagos isn’t just a city, it’s like one big dysfunctional-but-fun family gathering. You know the type: one uncle is shouting about politics, an auntie is dishing out Jollof, and someone’s younger cousin is dancing in the corner for no reason. Every Lagos spot has the same vibe: a personality, an attitude, and definitely a role in the family drama.
So if Lagos locations were family members, here’s how the family tree would look:
Freedom Park – The Cool Grandma
She’s old, wise, and full of stories about the “good old days.” But don’t be fooled, she still knows how to host the best parties. One minute you’re learning history, the next you’re two cocktails in at a live band night.
Chicken Republic – The Aunt Who Always Has Food
She doesn’t say much, but her cooler is always full. Reliable, affordable, and always there when hunger hits at odd hours. You can fight with your siblings, but you’ll never fight with Auntie’s rice and chicken.
Tarkwa Bay – The Cousin Who Just Came Back from Abroad
Always relaxed, always sun-kissed, and somehow never stressed. While the rest of the family is stuck in traffic, this cousin is sipping coconut water by the beach, giving “soft life” vibes.
Krispy Kreme – The Rich Uncle
You know the one. He just shows up with boxes of doughnuts and everyone suddenly loves him. He’s sweet, flashy, and will definitely spoil you… but don’t get too used to it.
Apapa Amusement Park – The Hyper Younger Sibling
They’re loud, chaotic, and full of energy. Sometimes fun, sometimes overwhelming, but never boring. They’ll drag you into rides you didn’t sign up for, then laugh when you’re screaming.
Cafe Neo – The Cousin Who Thinks They’re Bougie
Always talking about coffee like it’s fine wine. “Oh, you drink instant coffee? Couldn’t be me.” They’re classy, but deep down, you know they’ll still eat Agege bread with beans if no one is looking.
At the end of the day, Lagos is one big, messy, dramatic family and honestly, we wouldn’t have it any other way.
