Lagos is Africa's largest city with 15–20 million people and the economic engine of West Africa. The city is the birthplace of Afrobeats music — Fela Kuti created Afrobeat here, and Wizkid and Davido rose to global stardom. Eko Atlantic is a massive new city on reclaimed land, and Victoria Island and Lekki blend modernity with Lagos's unique energy.
