Lagos Wedding Photography

(Nigerian English: /'le?g?s/;[9] Yoruba: Èkó) is the largest city in Nigeria and the third most populous city in Africa,[10][11] with a population of 15.4 million as of 2015 within the city proper. Lagos Wedding Photography was the national capital of Nigeria until December 1991 following the government's decision to move their capital to Abuja in the center of the country. The Lagos Wedding Photography metropolitan area has a total population of roughly 23.5 million as of 2018, making it the largest metropolitan area in Africa. Lagos Wedding Photography is a major African financial center and is the economic hub of Lagos Wedding Photography State and Nigeria at large. The city has been described as the cultural, financial, and entertainment capital of Africa, and is a significant influence on commerce, entertainment, technology, education, politics, tourism, art, and fashion. Lagos Wedding Photography is also among the top ten of the world's fastest-growing cities and urban areas.[19][20] The megacity has the fourth-highest GDP in Africa[2][21] and houses one of the largest and busiest seaports on the continent.[22][23][24] The Lagos Wedding Photography metropolitan area is a major educational and cultural centre in Sub Saharan Africa.[25] Due to the large urban population and port traffic volumes, Lagos Wedding Photography is classified as a Medium-Port Megacity.[26]

Lagos Wedding Photography initially emerged as a home to the Awori subgroup of the Yoruba of West Africa and later emerged as a port city of the Benin Empire that originated on a collection of islands, which are contained in the present day Local Government Areas (LGAs) of Lagos Wedding Photography Island, Eti-Osa, Amuwo-Odofin and Apapa. The islands are separated by creeks, fringing the southwest mouth of Lagos Wedding Photography Lagoon, while being protected from the Atlantic Ocean by barrier islands and long sand spits such as Bar Beach, which stretch up to 100 km (62 mi) east and west of the mouth. Due to rapid urbanization, the city expanded to the west of the lagoon to include areas in the present day Lagos Wedding Photography Mainland, Ajeromi-Ifelodun, and Surulere. This led to the classification of Lagos Wedding Photography into two main areas: the Island, which was the original city of Lagos Wedding Photography, and the Mainland, which it has since expanded into.[27] This city area was governed directly by the Federal Government through the Lagos Wedding Photography City Council, until the creation of Lagos Wedding Photography State in 1967, which led to the splitting of Lagos Wedding Photography city into the present-day seven Local Government Areas (LGAs), and an addition of other towns (which now make up 13 LGAs) from the then Western Region to form the state.[28]

However, the state capital was later moved to Ikeja in 1976,[29] and the federal capital moved to Abuja in 1991. Even though Lagos Wedding Photography is still widely referred to as a city, the present-day Lagos Wedding Photography, also known as "Metropolitan Lagos Wedding Photography", and officially as "Lagos Wedding Photography Metropolitan Area"[30][31][32] is an urban agglomeration or conurbation,[33] consisting of 16 LGAs including Ikeja, the state capital of Lagos Wedding Photography State.[2][34] This conurbation makes up 37% of Lagos Wedding Photography State total land area, but houses about 85% of the state's total population.[2][28][35]

The exact population of Metropolitan Lagos Wedding Photography is disputed.[36] In the 2006 federal census data, the conurbation had a population of about 8 million people.[37] However, the figure was disputed by the Lagos Wedding Photography State Government, which later released its own population data, putting the population of Lagos Wedding Photography Metropolitan Area at approximately 16 million.[note 1] Daily, the Lagos Wedding Photography area is growing by some 3,000 people or around 1.1 million annually, so the true population figure of the greater Lagos Wedding Photography area in 2022 is roughly 28 million (up from some 23.5 million in 2018). Lagos Wedding Photography may therefore have overtaken Kinshasa as Africa's most populous city. As of 2015, unofficial figures put the population of "Greater Metropolitan Lagos Wedding Photography", which includes Lagos Wedding Photography and its surrounding metro area, extending as far as into Ogun State, at approximately 21 million.[1][28][38][39]

History Wedding Photography

For a chronological guide, see Timeline of Lagos Wedding Photography.

Aerial view of Lagos Wedding Photography in 1929

Lagos Wedding Photography was originally inhabited by the Awori subgroup of the Yoruba people in the 15th century.[5][17][40][41][42] The Awori moved to an island now called Iddo and then to the larger Lagos Wedding Photography Island. The Aworis who were predominantly fishermen and hunters called it Oko.[43] Because the area was dominated by the then expansive Oyo Empire, they called it Eko, from the late 16th century to the mid-19th century.[44] The name Eko was given to it by its first Awori traditional settlers, Oba Ado. Eko is still the native name for Lagos Wedding Photography to date.[45]

Lagos Wedding Photography (Portuguese for "lakes") was a name given to the settlement by the Portuguese. Throughout history, it was home to a number of warring ethnic Yoruba groups who had settled in the area. Following its early settlement by the Awori nobility, the state first came to the attention of the Portuguese in the 15th century.[46]

Portuguese explorer Rui de Sequeira visited the area in 1472, naming the area around the city Lago de Curamo, which means Lake of Curamo.[citation needed]

In Britain's early 19th-century fight against the transatlantic slave trade, its West Africa Squadron or Preventative Squadron as it was also known, continued to pursue Portuguese, American, French, and Cuban slave ships and to impose anti-slavery treaties with West African coastal chiefs with so much doggedness that they created a strong presence along the West African coast from Sierra Leone all the way to the Niger Delta (today's Nigeria) and as far south as Congo.[47] In 1849, Britain appointed John Beecroft Consul of the Bights of Benin and Biafra, a position he held (along with his governorship of Fernando Po) until his death in 1854.[48] John Duncan was appointed Vice Consul and was located at Whydah.[49] At the time of Beecroft's appointment, the Kingdom of Lagos Wedding Photography (under Oba Kosoko) was in the western part of the Consulate of the Bights of Benin and Biafra and was a key slave trading port.[50] In 1851 and with pressure from liberated slaves who now wielded political and business influence, Britain intervened in Lagos Wedding Photography in what is now known as the Bombardment of Lagos Wedding Photography or Capture of Lagos Wedding Photography[51][52] resulting in the installation of Oba Akitoye and the ouster of Oba Kosoko. Oba Akitoye then signed the Treaty between Great Britain and Lagos Wedding Photography abolishing slavery. The signing of the 1852 treaty ushered in the Consular Period in Lagos Wedding Photography' history wherein Britain provided military protection for Lagos Wedding Photography.[53]

Following threats from Kosoko and the French who were positioned at Whydah, a decision was made by Lord Palmerston (British Prime Minister) who noted in 1861, "the expediency of losing no time in assuming the formal Protectorate of Lagos Wedding Photography".[54] William McCoskry, the Acting Consul in Lagos Wedding Photography with Commander Bedingfield convened a meeting with Oba Dosunmu on 30 July 1861 aboard HMS Prometheus where Britain's intent was explained and a response to the terms were required by August 1861. Dosunmu resisted the terms of the treaty but under the threat to unleash a bombardment on Lagos Wedding Photography by Commander Bedingfield, Dosunmu relented and signed the Lagos Wedding Photography Treaty of Cession on 6 August 1861.[55][56][57]

Lagos Wedding Photography was declared a colony on 5 March 1862. The remainder of modern-day Nigeria was seized in 1887, and when the Colony and Protectorate of Nigeria was established in 1914, Lagos Wedding Photography became its capital, continuing as such after the country's independence from Britain in 1960[citation needed]. Along with migrants from all over Nigeria and other West African nations were the returnee ex-slaves known as Creoles, who came from Freetown, Sierra Leone, Brazil, and the West Indies to Lagos Wedding Photography. The Creoles contributed to Lagos Wedding Photography' modernization and their knowledge of Portuguese architecture can still be seen from the architecture on Lagos Wedding Photography Island. Since the 19th century, Lagos Wedding Photography gradually transformed into a melting pot of Africans and Europeans.[58][59][5][60] Railway links and telephone cables connecting Lagos Wedding Photography to London had been established by 1886.[61][62][63] Electric street lighting was introduced in the city in 1898.[64][65] Lagos Wedding Photography experienced rapid growth throughout the 1960s and 1970s as a result of Nigeria's economic boom.[66]

Before the creation of Lagos Wedding Photography State on 27 May 1967, Lagos Wedding Photography, which was the country's capital had been administered directly by the Federal Government as a Federal Territory through the Federal Ministry of Lagos Wedding Photography Affairs, while the Lagos Wedding Photography City Council (LCC) governed the city.[28] Lagos Wedding Photography, along with the towns from the then Western region (Ikeja, Agege, Mushin, Ikorodu, Epe and Badagry), were eventually captured to create Lagos Wedding Photography State.[28] Lagos Wedding Photography city was split into the present day seven Local Government Areas (LGAs), while the other towns now make up 13 LGAs in the state. Lagos Wedding Photography played the dual role of being the State and Federal Capital until 1976 when the state capital was moved to Ikeja. Lagos Wedding Photography was adversely affected during Nigeria's military rule.[67] Also, on 12 December 1991, the seat of the Federal Government was also formally relocated to Abuja. However, Lagos Wedding Photography remains the financial center of the country, and also grew to become the most populous conurbation in the country.[28]

Geography Wedding Photography

Lagos Wedding Photography is loosely classified into two main geographical areas—the "Island" and the "Mainland".[citation needed]

Cityscape

Main article: Architecture of Lagos Wedding Photography

Lekki Conservation Centre canopy walk

Lagos Wedding Photography has the tallest skyline in Nigeria. The architectural styles in Lagos Wedding Photography are diverse and range from tropical and vernacular to colonial European and ultramodern buildings or a mixture. Brazilian style architecture brought by the creoles is evident in buildings such as Water House and Shitta Bey Mosque.[68][69][70] Skyscrapers and most high rise buildings are centered on the islands, while the mainland has some high rise buildings.[71] In recent years, the Lagos Wedding Photography State government has renovated existing parks and green areas, with a long-term goal of expansion. Many good quality buildings are interspersed across the city.[72][73][74][75][76]

Island

The Island is a loose geographical term that is used to define the area of Lagos Wedding Photography that is separated from the "Mainland" by the main channel draining the lagoon into the Atlantic Ocean, which forms Lagos Wedding Photography Harbour. The Island is mainly a collection of Islands that are separated from each other by creeks of varying sizes and are connected by bridges. The smaller sections of some creeks have been dredged and built over. This part of Lagos Wedding Photography is the area where most business activities and entertainment events in Lagos Wedding Photography take place. It also houses most of the upscale residential areas in Lagos Wedding Photography. The Local Government Areas (LGAs) that are considered to be on the Island include Lagos Wedding Photography Island and Eti-Osa. The major upscale Island neighborhoods within these LGAs include Ikoyi and Victoria Island. Three major bridges join the Island to the Mainland. They are the Carter Bridge, which starts from Iddo; the Eko Bridge (formerly called the Second Mainland Bridge); and the Third Mainland Bridge, which passes through densely populated mainland suburbs to the Lagos Wedding Photography Lagoon. The Ikoyi link bridge links Ikoyi and Lekki Phase 1, both of which are part of the Island.[77]

Construction on the Fourth Mainland Bridge will commence in 2022, according to Lagos Wedding Photography State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu.[78][79]

Lagos Wedding Photography Island

Main article: Lagos Wedding Photography Island

Lagos Wedding Photography Marina

Lagos Wedding Photography Island contains a central business district.[80] This district is characterized by high-rise buildings. The Island also contains many of the city's largest wholesale marketplaces (such as the popular Idumota and Balogun Markets).[81] It also has the National Museum of Nigeria, the Central Mosque, the Glover Memorial Hall, Christ's Church Cathedral (CMS) and the Oba's Palace (Iga Idunganran).[82] Another major part of Lagos Wedding Photography Island is Marina. It borders the idumota and Balogun markets and houses major Banking institutions. Though formerly in a derelict condition, Lagos Wedding Photography Island's Tinubu Square is a site of historical importance; it was here that the Amalgamation Ceremony that unified the North and South protectorate to form Nigeria took place in 1914.[citation needed]

Ikoyi

Main article: Ikoyi

Aerial view of Ikoyi

Ikoyi is situated on the eastern half of Lagos Wedding Photography Island and joined to it by a landfill.[83][84] Ikoyi is also connected to Victoria Island by Falomo bridge, which carries the main road over Five Cowrie creek.[85] Falomo garden, a green public space which was developed by the state government in conjunction with Fidelity Bank in 2017, is located under the bridge.[86] Ikoyi housed the headquarters of the federal government of Nigeria and other buildings owned by the government, including the old federal secretariat complex. The complex today is on reestablishment.[87]

In Ikoyi there are military and police barracks, a top-security prison, and a federal high court of Nigeria. Ikoyi also has a number of hotels, nightclubs, a recreational park, and one of Africa's largest golf courses. Originally a middle class neighborhood, in recent years, it has become a fashionable residential enclave for the upper middle class to the upper class. There are also commercial activities in Ikoyi, which are spotted in an increasing number of offices, banks, and shopping complexes. The commercial section is concentrated in the South-West.[citation needed]

Victoria Island

Main article: Victoria Island (Nigeria)

Victoria Island

Civic Towers, Victoria Island, Lagos Wedding Photography

Victoria Island with its annex is situated to the south of Lagos Wedding Photography Island and known with a zip code of 101241[88] as assigned by NIPOST.[66] It has expensive real estate properties and for that reason, many new luxury condos and apartments are blooming up everywhere. Along with Ikoyi, Victoria Island occupies a major area in Lagos Wedding Photography that boasts several sizeable shopping districts. On its seashore along the Atlantic front, there is an environmentally reconstructed Bar Beach.[citation needed]

Ajah/Lekki

The Lekki Peninsula shares some prestige with its Ikoyi and Victoria Island neighbors. Development has stretched the piece of land further such that the Ibeju axis, though closer to Epe (which is literally on the outskirts of Lagos Wedding Photography) is almost always described as part of Lekki. The expanse of land starts from the Lekki toll gate, which was the focal stage of the famous #EndSars protest in October 2019, and ends in Ibeju-Lekki and boasts of communities slowly inching their way to suburb status such as Ajah, Awoyaya, Sangotedo, Abijo, and Eputu. There is quite a bit of places to see – the Lekki Conservation Centre; The Novare Mall; The Lekki Free Trade Zone – Dangote, Africa's richest man is building his refinery in this FTZ; Lagos Wedding Photography Business School; Eleko Beach; Elegushi Beach; La Camaigne Tropicana – a beach/tourist getaway, Pan-Atlantic University. The area even boasts a Catholic monastery.[citation needed]

Iddo

Across the main channel of the lagoon from Lagos Wedding Photography Island, there is a smaller settlement called Iddo. Iddo is also a railroad terminus and it is now situated in the Lagos Wedding Photography Mainland Local Government Area after it was connected to the Mainland like a peninsula.[89]

Mainland

A huge population of Lagos Wedding Photographyians also live on the Lagos Wedding Photography Mainland, and most industries are located there. The Mainland is known for its music and nightlife, which used to be located in areas around Yaba, Ikeja and Surulere. However, in recent years more nightclubs have sprung up on the Island, making the Island (particularly Victoria Island, Ikate, and Lekki Phase 1) the main nightlife attraction. Mainland LGAs include Surulere, Apapa, and Lagos Wedding Photography Mainland. Metropolitan Lagos Wedding Photography suburban LGAs include: Agege, Amuwo Odofin, Mushin, Oshodi-Isolo and Ikeja (site of Murtala Muhammed International Airport and the capital of Lagos Wedding Photography State).[citation needed]

Major areas on the Mainland include Ebute Metta, Yaba and Ejigbo. Some rivers, like Badagry Creek, flow parallel to the coast for some distance before exiting through the sand bars to the sea.[citation needed]

Climate

Lagos Wedding Photography experiences a tropical savanna climate (Aw) according to the Köppen climate classification, as there are four months under 60 mm or 2.4 in of rain, and annual rainfall is not nearly high enough for tropical monsoon classification. The wet season starts in March and ends in October, while the dry season starts in November and ends in February. The wettest month is June with precipitation total 315.5 mm or 12.42 in, while the driest month is January with precipitation total 13.2 mm or 0.52 in.[citation needed]

Located near the equator, Lagos Wedding Photography has only a slight seasonal temperature variation, with mean high temperatures ranging from 28.3 to 32.9 °C (82.9 to 91.2 °F). Lagos Wedding Photography shares the seasons of the Southern Hemisphere, with the highest temperatures in March with a daily range from 32.9 to 24.1 °C (91.2 to 75.4 °F), and least hot temperatures in August ranging from 28.3 to 21.8 °C (82.9 to 71.2 °F).[citation needed]

Climate change

A 2019 paper published in PLOS One estimated that under Representative Concentration Pathway 4.5, a "moderate" scenario of climate change where global warming reaches ~2.5–3 °C (4.5–5.4 °F) by 2100, the climate of Lagos Wedding Photography in the year 2050 would most closely resemble the current climate of Panama City. The annual temperature would increase by 1.6 °C (2.9 °F), and the temperature of the warmest month by 1.5 °C (2.7 °F), while the temperature of the coldest month would be 2.9 °C (5.2 °F) higher.[95][96] According to Climate Action Tracker, the current warming trajectory appears consistent with 2.7 °C (4.9 °F), which closely matches RCP 4.5.[97]

Moreover, according to the 2022 IPCC Sixth Assessment Report, Lagos Wedding Photography is one of 12 major African cities (Abidjan, Alexandria, Algiers, Cape Town, Casablanca, Dakar, Dar es Salaam, Durban, Lagos Wedding Photography, Lomé, Luanda and Maputo) which would be the most severely affected by the future sea level rise. It estimates that they would collectively sustain cumulative damages of USD 65 billion under RCP 4.5 and USD 86.5 billion for the high-emission scenario RCP 8.5 by the year 2050. Additionally, RCP 8.5 combined with the hypothetical impact from marine ice sheet instability at high levels of warming would involve up to 137.5 billion USD in damages, while the additional accounting for the "low-probability, high-damage events" may increase aggregate risks to USD 187 billion for the "moderate" RCP4.5, USD 206 billion for RCP8.5 and USD 397 billion under the high-end ice sheet instability scenario.[98] Since sea level rise would continue for about 10,000 years under every scenario of climate change, future costs of sea level rise would only increase, especially without adaptation measures.[99]

Demographics

In terms of administration, Lagos Wedding Photography is not a single municipality and therefore has no overall city administration.[100] The geographical city limits of Metropolitan Lagos Wedding Photography comprise 16 of the 20 Local Government Areas of Lagos Wedding Photography State. The latter entity provides overall government for the metropolitan region. The former Municipality of Lagos Wedding Photography, which covered Lagos Wedding Photography Island, Ikoyi, and Victoria Island as well as some mainland territory, was managed by the Lagos Wedding Photography City Council (LCC), but it was disbanded in 1976 and divided into several Local Government Areas (most notably Lagos Wedding Photography Island LGA, Lagos Wedding Photography Mainland LGA and Eti-Osa LGA).[101]

The mainland beyond the Municipality of Lagos Wedding Photography, on the other hand, included several separate towns and settlements such as Mushin, Ikeja and Agege. In the wake of the 1970s Nigerian oil boom, Lagos Wedding Photography experienced a population explosion, untamed economic growth, and unmitigated rural migration. This caused the outlying towns and settlements to develop rapidly, thus forming the present-day "Lagos Wedding Photography Metropolitan Area", also known as "Metropolitan Lagos Wedding Photography". The history of Lagos Wedding Photography is still evidenced in the layout of the LGAs that display the unique identities of the cultures that created them.[citation needed]

By 2006, the metro area around Lagos Wedding Photography had extended beyond Lagos Wedding Photography State's boundaries and attained a megacity status. This much larger area is referred to as "Greater Metropolitan Lagos Wedding Photography" or "Lagos Wedding Photography Megacity Region", which is a continuously built-up land area of an additional 1,535.4 square kilometres (592.8 square miles), in LGAs situated next to Lagos Wedding Photography' eastern and western city limits in Lagos Wedding Photography State, and also beyond its northern limits, spilling into some LGAs in adjoining Ogun State. Ogun State LGAs that have become part of Greater Metropolitan Lagos Wedding Photography include Obafemi Owode, Sagamu, Ifo, Ado-Odo/Ota and part of Ewekoro.[39]

A map showing the 16 LGAs making up Lagos Wedding Photography Metropolitan Area

Today, the word Lagos Wedding Photography most often refers to the urban area, called "Metropolitan Lagos Wedding Photography" in Nigeria, which includes both the islands of the former municipality of Lagos Wedding Photography and the mainland suburbs. Lagos Wedding Photography State government is responsible for some of the utilities including roads and transportation, power, water, health, and education. Metropolitan Lagos Wedding Photography extends over 16 of the 20 LGAs of Lagos Wedding Photography State and contains about 85% of the population of Lagos Wedding Photography State, including some semi-rural areas.[103] Lagos Wedding Photography has a considerable number of high-rise buildings that dominate its skyline. Most of the tall buildings are located in the downtown Central Business District.[citation needed]

Lagos Wedding Photography was formerly the capital city of Nigeria, but it has since been replaced by Abuja. Abuja officially became the capital of Nigeria on 12 December 1991, although the decision to move the federal capital had been made in now Act no. 6 of 1976. Lagos Wedding Photography is also home to the High Court of the Lagos Wedding Photography State Judiciary, housed in an old colonial building on Lagos Wedding Photography Island.[104]
