Lagos

Lagos is the largest city in Nigeria. As only two censuses (in 1972 and 1991) have been taken since independence, estimates of its population vary considerably, but generally range from 10 to 15 million people, making it one of the largest in Africa (second only to Cairo, Egypt). One of the fastest-growing cities in the world, Lagos is located at 6°34'60" North, 3°19'59" East (6.58333, 3.333). http://earth-info.nga.mil/gns/html/cntry_files.html
