Lagos is Nigeria’s economic hub and most populous city, and one of Africa’s finance centres. Lagos is generally considered home to everyone. It is viewed as the financial, cultural, and entertainment capital of Africa and is known to influence commerce, technology, entertainment, education, politics, tourism, art and fashion.

A popular quote in pidgin says if you no wise for Lagos, you no fit wise for anywhere, which simply means if you stay in Lagos and do not become wise, you cannot be wise in any other part of the world. Lagos is considered a place of struggle and hustle, and many believe it lacks hospitality.

Contrary to the opinions of non-Lagosians, Lagosians know that there is no place like Lagos. Yes, Lagos has a lot of hustle, but that just shows how hardworking the people are. There are also many opportunities in virtually all aspects of life in Lagos, which is why a lot of people move there.

Lagos is divided into two major parts: the Mainland and the Island. The mainland, as the name implies, is a predominantly vast landscape. These areas include Oshodi, Obalende, Ikeja, Jakande, Ikotun, etc. The majority of the population of Lagos is in these areas.

The other part of Lagos, popularly known as the Island, is an agglomerate of Islands which includes places such as Lekki, Ikoyi, and Victoria Island.

It is predominantly believed that difference based on classism exists between the inhabitants of Lagos Mainland and Lagos Islands. Most people believe the Island contains only high-class people, such as government personnel, musicians, and prominent businessmen. Most people do not consider the islands hospitable enough for the general public.

For instance, over the years, most people have considered Lekki a place where an average person cannot decide to move to.

Lekki is a naturally formed peninsula located in the southeast of Lagos city, and adjoining to its west are Victoria Island and the Ikoyi districts of Lagos. Even though Lekki is considered a tourist attraction with its beautiful scenery and luxurious hotels, restaurants, and spots to visit, people have not considered Lekki a welcoming location for everyone.

These attractions Lekki and its environs boast of are the features that have made it difficult for the average person to consider it a friendly place to visit. Luxurious hotels and restaurants are expensive. They require a budget and a long period of savings for the average Nigerian to visit for relaxation purposes.

Over the years, many have held the notion that Lekki is not a friendly place for every person. But with the increasing growth of shortlets in its environs, it would not be out of place if we asked if Lekki is gradually becoming a hospitality hub with considerations for people across all classes of the economy.

What we at heristays have been doing over the years is figuring out ways to demolish the long-held stratification in the city of Lagos. We have embarked on a mission to make Lekki and Lagos a very hospitable place for the average citizens and foreigners with our pocket-friendly serviced apartments in Lekki, Ikoyi, Victoria Island and Lagos in general.
