It’s Tuesday evening and we are in Lagos, the largest city in Nigeria and apparently the second largest city in the world. We have been here since Thursday but I feel we have only been able to scratch the surface of this fascinating city.
Let’s face it, Lagos isn’t Sydney or Barcelona or even Sheffield. There are no parks and very few places of tourist interest. There is rubbish and abandoned vehicles everywhere, the roads are the most congested and dangerous that we have seen but it is an exhilirating place.
We came with our boss, Rev Timothy, and some other colleagues from Amaudo to visit some of the movers and shakers, including the secretary of conference (we will upload his photo a a later date) within Methodist Church Nigeria and try to raise some much needed funds. We also met with the brother of the owner of Sheffield restaurant UK Mama.
We have been enjoying the abundance of fast food here in the big city. It's probably the only place in the world that doesn't have a McDonalds, but we have become regulars at Sweet Sensations where I had a huge tub of banana ice cream
