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
Transport
Ferries and highways link the parts of the city together. However, transport links within Lagos are congested, due in part to the geography of the city, its explosive population growth, as well as bad roads and bad driving habits. A chain of salt-water lagoons runs west to Badagri and also east toward Ogun State.
